Looks like I'm going to be planning a wedding. In Vegas. In October. My youngest daughter and her boyfriend are getting married. None of the wedding plans that I can find tell you how to plan a wedding in less then 12 months. HAH! I did it for my wedding so it can be done. It can be done. I think I can, I think I can.

Cliche of the Day

Gala Occasion, A. A social event special for its fancy dress and spirited entertainment, for its festivity. A bit of repetitiveness here, since "gala" by itself means festivity. The word once stood by itself, as in this example from The Gentlemen's Magazine in 1778: "The anniversary of her Majesty's name-day was celebrated at the Russian court with great gala." The society columns of newspapers are the source of the current practice of invariably coupling "gala" with "occasion" or "affair".
