Maybe all the bridesmaids, in a misguided attempt at mirth, show up in the same gown the bride is wearing.

Maybe a sudden rainstorm drenches everyone before they can find shelter.

You get the idea. Maybe something similar even happened to you.

If so, a Pompano Beach, Florida, resort is offering a chance for an “I Do Redo.”

The Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort and Spa is running a contest for the funniest, silliest — or perhaps most poignant — wedding-day saga, with… Continue reading →

According to government and private surveys:

Leading-edge baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1955) and seniors account for four out of every five dollars spent on luxury travel today.
Roughly half the consumer spending money in the U.S.--more than $2 trillion--is in the hands of leading-edge baby boomers and seniors.
Baby boomers (born 1946-1964) travel more than any other age group.
When asked what they would most like to spend their money on, baby boomers answered “travel” more than any other category, including improving their health or finances.
