Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

For many couples, the wedding band is a critical component of their reception. From announcing their entrance to bringing everyone out on the dance floor, your band plays an important role in creating a dynamic, upbeat atmosphere. And when these musicians fail to play a particular song or take an extended break, couples can—understandably—be left feeling disappointed. One recent groom's concerns with his wedding band, however, went beyond a bad song list. In a post on Reddit’s “Am I the A______” thread, he explained that he decided to dismiss the performers in the middle of the reception after realizing that the singer was his ex-girlfriend from high school.

Regardless of the situation, just about everyone has released a balloon. The difference is that intentionally releasing balloons is now illegal by House Bill 321’s standards.

Cody and Mark first crossed paths at a hiking wellness retreat in Malibu, California, in April 2017. Four years later, in the summer of 2021, the couple went on a boat ride in Montecito, California, which is when Mark took the opportunity to pop the question (naturally, Cody said yes!). After their engagement, the couple celebrated with dinner at San Ysidro Ranch. As soon as Cody saw the ranch’s stonehouse terrace and carriage house, she knew that was the perfect venue for them to tie the knot. “We met and got engaged in California, so it only felt right to get married there,” Cody says.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

Since engagement rings are quite an investment, many couples decide to insure the bauble to protect it from potential loss or damage. One woman, however, didn’t get insurance for her diamond-clad sparkler, so she was left “devastated” after realizing her dog ate the gemstone—just shortly after she got engaged to her partner of five years, with whom she was doing long-distance at the time. In an interview with People, the woman, Chloe Miller, recalled the grueling Thursday she had in March 2022 as a graduate student. After spending eight hours studying for an exam out of the house, she returned home to find that her engagement ring, which she had left on her bedside table, was missing. At first, she suspected that she was responsible for the lost bauble. “I am known to lose everything, and at the time, I did not have the diamond insured,” she explained. “I was absolutely devastated because I felt so irresponsible.”
