It was a Celebrity Wedding Weekend


How Romantic!! These Lovebirds, and expectant parents, Harlem lady Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz (real name Kasseem Dean) ran away together and got married on the French Island of Corsica yesterday, Saturday the 31st July. It was a very low-key wedding with only their closest friends, family and A-list stars including U2 rocker Bono and Queen Latifah, who was there to show their support for the couple.



When they arrived on the Mediterranean Island, several days early, they enjoyed the beach and sunshine before making their commitment to love each other forever in a ceremony in Corsica, France. The absolutely beautiful Alicia Keys looked radiant in a flowing white gown, with a sweet little baby bump, and a diamond encrusted headband on the day of her wedding to Swizz Beatz, who was wearing a white tuxedo jacket, pink shirt, bow tie for their big day and shades.



This sweet newlywed couple is expecting their first baby together this November, they could not be happier about beginning a family together.




It was the wedding of the decade and now we finally have some of the amazing details of Chelsea Clinton's nuptials. Despite conspiracy theories that Rhinebeck was a "decoy" location to throw off the press, the wedding was indeed held at Astor Courts in Rhinebeck, NY.



Chelsea said her "I dos" to Marc Mezvinsky under a flower chuppah outdoors on a picturesque afternoon. Details of the rest of the evening are beginning to emerge. One includes the current Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, being hoisted in chairs above a dancing crowd at the reception, as is typical at Jewish weddings. According to the Washington Post, other notable moments include when Chelsea reminded the minister of the next verse when an unexpected breeze turned the page in his book too soon, and when the bride traded her strapless Vera Wang ballgown for a slinkier white dress and took to the floor for a cute choreographed first dance to "At Last." (Bill danced with Chelsea to "The Way You Look Tonight" for their father-daughter number).



Lavish? Definitely. The guest list totaled around 400 people, several of whom stayed at the Delamater Inn and took chartered buses to the wedding. Chelsea reportedly had 12 bridesmaids who wore plum sashes around their custom Vera Wang gowns, and nearly as many groomsmen on Marc's side.

Zolra's Corner: When Was The Last Time A Female Proposed?



Some people are shocked that I come up with most of my topics from movies like romantic comedies. I guess romantic comedies are not at the top of their list of favorite movie genres. I love romantic comedies. The inspirations flow when I watch a movie like that.

Just a few minutes ago, I remembered watching one of my favorite romantic comedies The Proposal, starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. But it wasn't until the romantic comedy Leap Year, starring Amy Adams and Matthew Goode came out that this question came into my head.

When the last time a female proposed?

The Proposal is a story of win Sandra Bullock's character Margaret forces Ryan Reynold's character Andrew to marry her in order to keep her from getting deported back to Canada. Aside from how the situation was handled, I remembered when Andrew asked Margaret to proposed the right way. It was the first time on screen that I ever see a female propose to a man.

Leap Year tells the story of Anna (Amy Adams), who travels to Ireland to propose to her boyfriend Jeremy (Adam Scott) on February 29, leap year, because according to Irish tradition, a woman can propose to a man on February 29 during a leap year.

Just watching me makes me start thinking. I need to see this happen in real life. I know this happens alot, but I want to see a female propose through my very eyes.
