Season of a Lifetime

Good evening everyone and welcome to The Magical Mystery Month.

May is prom season and the start of wedding season, two pivotal points in our life. Prom season is an iconic dance held in many high schools throughout the country. Wedding season is a life changing moment when we wed our beloved. So what do they have in common? Let’s find out!

1.You Wear Something That You Will Never Ever Wear Again.

Your prom dress is your prom dress. Never again will it ever be worn and it will probably rot away in your attic forever unless you choose to donate it to a Good Will store or a prom charity so that other girls can feel like a princess for one night. The same goes for your wedding dress. Both garments will probably be the most you’ve ever spent on an outfit in your entire life. Enjoy them while you can!

2. Everything MUST Match

Your shoes must match, your jewelry must match, your purse must match, even the flowers and your partner’s suit (or tie) must match. If they don’t match, then it will throw everything off, thus ruining the completed, organized look.

3.You Turn Into a Bridezilla

Regardless of age or gender, you will go bridezilla on your prom and wedding. You want everything to be perfect, you want to get what you paid for, you want your partner to be on time, you want time for everything to fall into place from getting your hair done to group pictures. Some bridezillas will curse and throw a tantrum about everything; others may choose to be violent and throw things. Please don’t be violent and throw things.

4. Get Fancy, Party Hard

Because when in your life are you going to get dressed up fancy, get drunk, and ride around in a limo? Of course there will be quinceaneras,  sweet sixteens, your twenty first birthday, and other people’s bachelorette/bachelor parties, but they don’t have the same feeling as your prom or wedding.

5. There is a Theme

For both occasions, the theme tends to reflect something romantic. My prom’s theme was A Night in Venice with a mock up of a canal that supported a gondola. Italian archways lined the pathway where my date and I walked. Proms have different themes and so do weddings, each occasion stays true to their theme from the initial location of the event to the dinner and reception.

So tell me, what’s your best prom memory? 

Farewell 2013

Greetings everyone and welcome to the near end of the year at The Magical Mystery Blog.

Wow, what a year and it seems to have flown by fast, too.  One moment we were welcoming 2013 and now here we are bidding it a fond farewell.  So much has happened this year, from the death of prominent persons to Miley’s train wreck of a performance at the VMAs. It’s amazing how as a society we can keep up with all of this information circulating throughout the globe and always being there for us to catch up on. Below are just a few notable topics from 2013.

4) Here Comes the Groom

This has been a good year for homosexual marriages. With tons of states approving it, wedding bells have chimed for many couples. Other places across the globe have also approved homosexual marriage, while others are still playing catch up or ignoring the rise of happy homosexual newlyweds.

3) Journey to the Red Planet

In August 2012, the Curiosity rover landed on Mars and showed us more than what our science classes did. This year the rover has released information about the red planet and based on what’s been revealed Mars could potentially qualify as a habitable planet. Along with this exciting knowledge, NASA has launched the MAVEN probe to understand Mars’ atmosphere. In the future, more crafts will be sent to Mars to analyze it better.

2)  Boston Marathon Bombing

The Boston bombing was a tragedy that shook the media and rocked the nation. Over 200 people were injured and even killed at the marathon on April 15^th, when two bombs exploded at the finishing line. While citizens were escorted away from the scene and rushed to the hospital, the entire city shut down until the terrorists were captured. Thankfully, they were able to find them scattered throughout Boston.

1)  Collapse of Healthcare.gov

No sooner this web site was launched it greeted people with glitches, cookies, viruses, and other problems. Originally supposed to be a marketplace for healthcare insurance, the site turned out to be quite a historical flop.  Not only was it an embarrassment for the government but it showed everyone that not all technology is perfect.

Well here’s hoping the new year to come will be better, filled with fortune and love for all, and be as memorable as 2013. Happy New Year’s everyone! Try not to get too hammered and have fun.
