My Grandma Was My Maid of Honor, and It Set the Tone For My Whole Wedding

8 years ago
Choosing my 87-year-old grandmother to be my maid of honor was easy. With two loving marriages behind her and an obligation to give me unconditional love, she was a treasure trove of wisdom, advice, and perspective. While my mom and I navigated the treacherous waters of seating, floral, and lodging arrangements together, I discussed feelings, etiquette, and makeup concepts with the matriarch of our family. Having her there with us when we chose my wedding dress, and in the room with all the women as we had our hair and makeup done, added an extra level of rite of passage to these wedding milestones. Plus, I benefited vastly from her brand of deep honesty that only comes from years and years of chipping away at caring what people think of you and your opinions.

Kate Middleton and Prince William welcomed their third child, a baby boy named Louis, on April 23, and the world has been busy celebrating the arrival of the little prince ever since! While we couldn't help but immediately obsess over all the new photos of the littlest royal bundle of joy, we also found ourselves asking a few questions: Was Prince William in the delivery room when Kate gave birth? And if he was, who else was allowed in? "The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth," Kensington Palace tweeted along with the original birth announcement. "Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well." But did Kate also opt for a Kardashian-style birth and have her siblings and extended family present, too? Not likely. While Prince William brought their two other children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, to meet their little brother after he was born, there were no signs of any other family members at St. Mary's Hospital, so it's likely the delivery room c..

OK, so going to the doctor may not be the most exciting thing to add to your list of things to do, and you may find it to be somewhat scary at times. Well, we're here to tell you: you're not alone. As much as some of us may dread that walk into the doctor's office, it's important to know all of the doctor's appointments you need to have regularly and to understand that taking preventative measures are vital to our health. One of the appointments we need to have regularly is a pap smear, also known as a pap test. A pap smear tests for cervical cancer in women, as well as any abnormal cells that may be indicative of cancer down the line, by swabbing a sample of cells from your cervix. That sample gets sent to a lab for review and the results should be given to your doctor a few days after your appointment. 44738915 A pap smear is conducted in your doctor's office and usually takes less than 20 minutes. You should remember not to have sex for at least 24 ho..
