With a beautiful dress that I bought from Soobest, I was the most beautiful women at my wedding date. The top two picks were the most popular ones at Soobest.com and were the perfect fit for me. I was grateful that I made a wise choice after thorough consideration. It was a simple but fashionable gown, which allows me to decorate and add some blush roses to match our blush and mauve color scheme. When I walked through the isle, Richard was entirely fascinated by me and stood there in amazement. Wearing that gorgeous wedding dress, I felt comfortable to shake hands and toast with everyone at the wedding ceremony. Im really thankful for Soobest as it offered me an elegant and beautiful dress. Thanks to Soobest, we had a wonderful wedding ceremony. Thanks to Soobest, we had an unforgettable memory at that special day.
10. Every woman dreams of
having a sweet wedding. No exception for me. The ideal wedding ceremony that I dreamt for so many years is the one that has beautiful and vibrant colors. Most important of all, it would be better to be held in fall. Finally, this special moment came to me. On November 3, 2007, Tim and I had a wonderful outdoor fall wedding ceremony. Our ceremony was held under a tree that has red leaves. Coordinated with the red color scheme, the bridesmaids wore red dresses and had orange and red rose bouquet in their hands. It was an exciting moment for me when I wore a beautiful white Davids Bridal gown with a long cathedral veil. It was attractive and fantastic. It was one of the memorable moments in my life when I walked down the aisle although I smiled with tears. Thanks to the excellent photographer, we had beautiful photos that related to the wonderful fall trees outside. Quiet and romantic music which offered by a mariachi band was another beautiful scene in our wedding. Red satin sashes on the chair covers were another one that coordinated with the dresses of bridesmaids. We had a great time talking, singing and dancing together. Our photographer captured many interesting and moving pictures when we totally enjoyed the pleasant moment. However, happy time went by a flash. We were reluctant to leave when the wedding ceremony ended. Anyhow, we had a perfect and unforgettable wedding ceremony, which would be treasured and remembered by both of us. It is a new beginning of our happy life."

By basketballgamerecaps
Born as Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal in Newark, New Jersey on March 6, 1972, Shaq, as he was nicknamed, became a larger than life figure as an athlete, musician and actor.
Standing at 7 ft 1 inch (2.16 m) and listed as weighing 325 pounds (147 kg), Shaq was one of the most dominating players of his era.
Currently the oldest player in the NBA, Shaq has spent 18 years in the league and is now playing for his 6th different team.
The son of Lucille O'Neal and Joe Toney, Shaq and his family were abandoned by his biological father when he was born. Lucille, a municipal-worker, married a co-worker, Philip Harrison, who joined the army in 1974.
By the time he was 12, the family lived on military bases in New Jersey, Georgia and West Germany. It was in West Germany at the age of 13 that (a now 6' 7") Shaq discovered the game of basketball.
His stepfather was transferred to Fort Houston (San Antonio, Texas) 2 years later. There, Shaq led the team to a undefeated regular season as a junior.
The following season, Shaq led his team to a state championship.
Shaq went on to attended Louisiana State University (LSU) to continue his basketball career and study business. He had met the basketball coach at the time, Dale Brown, years before in Wildflecken, West Germany.
While playing for Brown at LSU, Shaq was a two-time All-American, two-time SEC player of the year, and received the Adolph Rupp Trophy as NCAA men's basketball player of the year in 1991.
Shaq left LSU early after his 3rd year to enter the NBA, but returned to school in 2000 and received a Bachelor of Arts in General Studies.
Shaq was drafted and signed by the Orlando Magic in 1992, receiving him a three year, $41 million contract.
He won the 'Rookie of the year' award for that season and helped lead the Magic to the 1995 NBA Finals.
He also joined Team USA to form 'Dream Team II", which won the World Championships in 1994.
After 4 seasons with the Magic, Shaq signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Lakers.
There, he won 3 consecutive championships in 2000, 2001, and 2002 as the team's "Batman" with Kobe Bryant playing the role of "Robin".
The duos relationship was rocky and filled with feuds, leading to the older Shaq's trade to the Miami Heat in 2004 for Lamar Odom, Caron Butler and Brian Grant.
Paired with a new "Robin" in Dwyane Wade, he won his fourth NBA championship in 2006.
A month before turning 36, Shaq was traded halfway into the season to the Phoenix Suns for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks.
Unable to help them get past the 1st round of the NBA playoffs, Shaq was again traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Sasha Pavl
ovic, Ben Wallace, $500,000 and a 2010 second round draft pick. He has since joined the Boston Celtics as a FA in 2010.
Shaq's individual accolades include the 199900 MVP award, the 199293 NBA Rookie of the Year award, 15 All-Star game selections, 3 All-Star Game MVP awards, 3 Finals MVP awards, 2 scoring titles, 14 All-NBA team selections, a World Championship and 3 NBA All-Defensive Team selections.
Other than basketball, Shaq has successfully released 4 rap albums including 1 platinum album.
He has also appeared in numerous films like Kazaam! and has starred in his own reality shows. He currently has 8 children with 2 different mothers and has been divorced since 2007 after 5 years of marriage.

1966 season in the NBA
By Talia Morin
The 1966-67 season of the NBA was the 21st season in the history of the National Basketball Association. The NBA had been dominated by the likes of the Lakers and Celtics for years, but the time was changing in the league and it was time for other teams to step up and make noise in the 1966 season. Two of the teams that would step up that season were the San Francisco Warriors and the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Warriors were led by 2nd year phenom Rick Barry. Barry had managed to win the Rookie of the Year award the previous year while making the All-NBA team in his first season in the league. This season he made a big impression by showing an incredible ability to score the basketball. Barry managed to score more points than any other player in the league in that season. At that time the league the scoring champion was awarded not by points per game, but instead by total points. Barry went on to score 2,775 points on the season.
Barrys points were crucial for his team. The Western Division was the inferior division in that season, but he managed to lead his team to a 44-37 record on the season. The San Francisco Warriors were the only team that managed to win more than half of their games on the season.
One of the other dominant players of the year was Wilt Chamberlain. Chamberlain would win the Most Valuable Player of the Year awards for the Philadelphia 76ers. Chamberlain was a force underneath, as evidenced by his rebounding title. He would pull down 1,957 rebounds on the year. He also shot an incredible percentage of 68 percent on the season. These numbers were huge in helping the 76ers to have one of the best NBA seasons of all time.
The 76ers managed to win a whopping 68 games on the season while only losing 13. They would easily outdo the Celtics during the regular season. The Celtics were solid, with 60 wins, but could not match up to the 76ers.
This season featured a very lopsided finish to the regular season records. Of the 10 teams in the NBA only 3 teams managed to finish with a winning percentage over .500. These three teams would go on to become the biggest players in the playoffs that season.
Despite the fact that the Celtics were outdone in the regular season, nobody was counting them out for the NBA title. The Celtics has won an amazing amount of titles consecutively coming into the season and most people thought they would just flip on the switch and cruise to another championship. This would not be the case however. The Celtics were thwarted in their attempts to win another title, leaving their unprecedented consecutive championships streak at 8.
The 76ers would advance to the Finals to take on Rick Barry and the San Francisco Warriors. The Warriors were a solid team, but they did not have nearly the same success in the season as the 76ers. The 76ers were able to take out the Warriors in 6 games, becoming the NBA Champions.
