Gay Marriage is Now Legal In Washington DC, or at least everyone is saying it is.

Filed under: Gay Marriage — Tags: Gay Marriage, gay marriage washington dc, where can gays get married — rollerbladerdc @ 11:37 pm

I was at a party last night and some of my friends there started to make a toast. The entire room got quiet and they announced that the mayor of Washington DC or some lawmaker signed a bill into action yesterday that would legalize gay marriage in Washington DC.

Now, I don’t know if it is true or not that Gay Marriage is now legal in Washington DC, but it isn’t really surprising that gay marriage would pass in Washington DC because of how liberal it is as a city and that it is probably one of the largest gay cities or has one of the largest gay populations in the US. Not to mention that most of the politicians for VA, MD and DC are always in the Pride Parades, visit the gay bars during election time and also support the gay community, both Republican and Democrat so when it is time to vote on gay marriage or not, chances are they will all say yes and the population of Washington DC will more than likely also vote yes for gay marriage.

It would be pretty cool to see the first gay wedding on the white house, or in front of the monuments or even on Captiol Hill and actually have it be a legally recognized marriage. Gays get married all the time in Washignton DC and if the rumor that it is now legal is true, it would be a great way to attract more tourists and even more gay couples, especially since DC is an extremely gay friendly city and has a ton of amazing places for weddings.

You wouldn’t think about it normally as a wedding destination, but think about what we have that most other cities don’t.

We have tons of museums like the Smithsonians, we have some of the most recognizable landmarks in the world like the memorials and monuments, we have stadiums and professional sports teams, we also have some amazing restaurants on the water front and even the Kennedy Center and historical theatres like Fords Theatre where Abraham Lincoln was shot.

There are so many amazing places in Washington DC to get married and have amazing looking wedding pictures with historic buildings behind you and if the mayor did sign the bill making gay marriage legal in Washington DC, then you should definitely at least consider it for your gay wedding or for your friends who are looking at where to go to get married.

Remember, this is still only a rumor since I have not seen anything to back it up or the actual law itself, but if it is true, I know gay marriage is definitely going to be voted on soon, then that is another great step towards a more equal United States and even more reason for you to come visit Washington DC and also plan to have your wedding in Washington DC. I’ll definitely keep you all updated if I hear any more on whether or not Gay Marriage is now Legal in Washington DC.

Poken, Buy Poken, Poken Reviews, Poken on Sale

Filed under: Non Wedding, Wedding Gift, wedding favor — Tags: Buy Poken, Poken, wedding favors — rollerbladerdc @ 1:25 am

Buy Poken Online

So I have been seeing Poken spring up everywhere lately and had never heard of them before. Poken are these seriously cute, but they also have really professional and mature looking ones for adults and business people or people who want to bring them to conferences or work or a bar, which contain all of your social media data like your Facebook account information, your twitter information and I think 18 other major sites which you may be on so that you and your friends and anyone else you want to keep in touch with.

Poken make your social life easier to keep connected by bringing everyone together and remembering everyone’s contact information so that when you leave the party, the bar or wherever you are you don’t have to spend an hour searching each social media network looking for the person you met.

Not only are Poken a great way to keep in contact with new people, but it is also a great way to not have to use or carry or try to not loose business cards at meetings and conferences anymore. The other great thing about havign and using your poken is that they are actually kind of fun to have and show off, especially since most people don’t know what they are yet so you look really advanced or ahead of the times. I can easily see Poken becoming one of the next biggest trends because of all the cool things they can do and because of all of the extra things you can do when you upload all your poken data to your poken website so you can see who you met, when you met them, etc…

The other cool thing about Poken and how Poken tie into weddings is that when you are at weddings, everyone is there to show off. Miserable married couples show off to show how much better they are than other miserable married couples and Poken let them show how much more advanced and trendy they are than others.

Single people go because they know everyone will be emotional and weddings are a great place to meet people and with your Poken you won’t have to try and find a pen and a napkin to write with since all you have to do is tap your Poken together and you can easily stay in touch without having to worry about having to search for each other after the wedding. Or, if you want to give a wrong number, buy two Poken where one has your real information and the other has fake so you can give the people you like the Poken with your real information and the people you don’t want to talk to a fake Poken contact information page with fake listings telling them that they got fake info.

Poken are also great for wedding favors to leave on wedding tables for your guests so everyone at your wedding can keep connected after the wedding is over. Not only are they cool, but the wedding guests will go crazy over them and talk about the Poken wedding favors for a long time after your wedding is over. I love Poken and the place I am probably going to buy Poken from for myself and my friends is PokenZoo.com. PokenZoo.com is a pretty cool site with a great video on how to use and set up your Poken and you can also Buy Poken Online at PokenZoo.com, so hurry up and buy your Poken today so you don’t miss out when everyone else in the world has a Poken and you are the only one left without.

What is the difference between a wedding gift and a regular gift.

Filed under: Wedding Gift — Tags: gifts, Wedding Gift, wedding gifts — rollerbladerdc @ 7:52 pm

One thing people don’t often think of, or when they have to go shopping for a wedding gift for the first time is what do I buy the couple or the person who invited you? The thing is it isn’t what you should buy for them, but what is the difference between buying that person or couple a gift for their birthday vs. their wedding or Christmas.

The thing is that Christmas and Birthday gifts are personal and for the person and for what they like. When you buy a wedding gift, you aren’t actually saying thank you for inviting me to the wedding, but you are buying them something that will help them with their new lives and their partnership. The gift you buy them shouldn’t be something for them because they like it or because it is their hobby, but should help to benefit their partnerships, make their new lives easier or even help with their new home if they bought a house together.

Weddings are celebrating the happy couple’s life together, not their birth or a holiday where it is all about them, the gift should be about their new life and how you can help make their new life easier and better. This is why housewares are usually popular for weddings and wedding couples and to be honest, housewares, mortgage payments, towels, plates, and other things for the home or the couple really help them with their new life together and are completely perfect for helping them with their new lives together.

Now, buying something because it is their hobby is completely good, but at the same time, why not tie it into their house as well. If they like a tv show, get them a piece of art or some coffee mugs with it or even something fun for their game room if they have one. If they are into cooking and have all the pots and pans, find a hard to get recipe book or cookbook or cooking classes that they have to take together, etc… to help with their marriage and relationship.

Shopping for weddings is a bit different than shopping for an individual and the gifts should be about the couple and their life together, not about them or what they like and luckily, most couples actually make it even easier to shop for them by registering at stores like Williams Sonoma, Bed Bath and Beyond, even Target or lower end discount stores so you can take the guess work out and not end up buying the same gift someone else already bought for the couple.

Although it is rude to ask what the couple wants for their wedding, it is not rude to ask where they are registered at so you can go find the perfect gift they already picked out. Find out where they registered and then pick out what you think they would like the most and then bring it to the wedding and wish the happy couple the best of luck. By them registering and making your life easier when having to find something to buy them, everyone will have a much happier wedding, and btw, if they only register at high end stores, don’t feel bad about working the bar at their wedding since they worked your wallet with the wedding gifts lol. I think it is rude to only register at expensive stores since not everyone is well off, but then again, if you are only friends with rich people, you don’t have to worry.

Hope this helps you pick out the perfect wedding gift and to help you understand the difference between what makes a wedding gift different than a birthday or christmas present.

The Fruit Company Coupons. Fruit Baskets Fruit Gifts

Filed under: Wedding Gift, food, wedding vendors — Tags: food, fruit gifts, the fruit company — rollerbladerdc @ 1:18 am

Ok, if you remember last year I went crazy over a gift I got from Yahoo. They sent me an absolutely amazing fruit gift basket, well actually a fruit gift and chocolate gift box set with amazing fruits and their signature pears from Harry and David. Now, Harry and David may be great for some people, but there was another company out there that gave me an equally as fabulous fruit gift basket last year and one I am completely hoping to get a gift from this year as well. Hint hint everyone that knows me, this is the perfect gift.

I am completely on a diet again so chocolate and candy are unfortunately completely out of the picture for me, but at the same time, I still love food and fruits and think they are the perfect gift….btw wine will never be out of my diet and chocolate always seems to make its way back in, but hey, we can’t all be perfect hahaha. However, even though I cannot eat a ton of candy and bad foods, one thing that I completely love and think makes a perfect gift and completely works with my diet is fruit and fruit gifts and the only place I am recommending this year for fruit baskets and fruit boxes and fruit gifts is The Fruit Company.

Not only does the fruit company have an amazing selection and possibly some of the best fruit for delivery in the USA, but they also gave me a fabulous coupon code to offer to all of you for the holidays. The Fruit Company Coupon Code holidaycheer should be able to give you 15% off your purchase, I’m not sure what the minimum spend is for this coupon code at the Fruit Company, but at the same time you are completely going to suprise the person who gets the fruit gift and they are seriously going to love it and because you get to save 15% off of your purchase at the Fruit Company by using the coupon holidaycheer, you’ll love it to because sending a fruit gift won’t cost you much either….and if you are sending me a fruit basket or fruit box gift, make sure you do the pears and citrus fruits…they are completely perfect for the winter since they not only have vitamin C, but they completely work with the cold weather to and give you energy to stay focused at work.

I love the fruit company and think that they have the perfect gifts for the holidays. You should definitely check out the fruit company and use the fruit company coupon holidaycheer to save on your fruit gifts for the holidays.

BTW, The fruit company is completely a 100% gay friendly company too so I am completely happy to recommend them as well. I met someone from their Marketing department at a show this year and completely fell in love with their company culture, and more importantly with their company and their products. You seriously cannot go wrong with giving fruit gift boxes and fruit gift baskets for the holidays.

Sexy Santa Claus Boxers -Sexy Mens Christmas Boxers

Filed under: clothing and Lingerie — Tags: christmas boxers, christmas boxers for men, santa claus boxers, sexy boxers for men, sexy santa claus boxers for men — rollerbladerdc @ 4:35 am

One thing I love about the holidays is shopping for underwear. I know it is like a complete reversal from when you were a kid. When you’re a kid you hate shopping for underwear and what was even worse was getting underwear for your birthday or for Christmas or Hanukah. However, when you’re an adult or growing up or even somewhere in between, you find some really cool pairs of underwear and boxers and all of the sudden they become even more fun and you actually start to love getting boxers and underwear for christmas, especially if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend to wear them for and show them off too. I found this shop online that not only has some of the coolest and sexiest men’s christmas boxers and really sexy santa claus lingerie for men like the first set of boxer shorts, but they are also selling them pretty cheap.

I felt bad for forgetting to only recommend a couple of Hanukah gifts a couple of posts ago so when I saw these christmas and santa claus boxers for men from one of my new favorite online underwear shops, I completely had to recommend going there to shop and buy your brand new santa claus underwear and christmas boxers for men. Not only are the two boxers above sexy and seductive, but they can even be worn to the bar if you have a great body or just really want to be funny, then again, they are probably better off being worn at home and showing them off for the man or woman you love or even just the guy or girl you will be pretending to love for the night. It is the holidays and if you are alone, well sometimes a one nighter or even a short lived relationship is perfect for the Holiday season and these sexy christmas boxers for men are absolutely perfect to wear and show off. Click any of the links or the buy now buttons above and you’ll be taken to one of my new favorite online underwear stores.
