  1. It was a great ceremony that I was privileged to attend. Peter Gomes, the late, Black, gay Minister of the Memorial Church at Harvard and Plummer Professor of Christian Morals, would have loved it.

  2. Wow, I didn´t know she did all that! I used to not like her, but she has grown on me. Good for her!

  3. When she dresses simple and classy, she really is stunning. Don’t get me wrong, she is a pretty girl no matter how ridiculous she looks sometime, but she should stick with the simple and classy.

  4. It’s great to hear news that’s positive instead of the back and forth cat-fighting going on currently.
