18 couples tie knot at Tybee on Tybee pier
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
While many couples might have experienced a post-Valentine’s Day lovey dovey crash over the weekend, almost 20 couples were honeymooning Sunday after a group wedding at Tybee Island.
The second annual “Tie the Knot on Tybee” drew 18 couples who got hitched on the Tybee pier, along with 20 couples who renewed their vows. The ceremonies took place on Valentine’s Day and the couples stayed at Tybee through the weekend.
This was a wedding for couples who don’t mind sharing the spotlight on a wedding day and whose idea of romance is the more the merrier.
“You know it’s not for everyone,” Stephen Palmer, a wedding planner and organizer of the event, told Buzz. “But halfway through the ceremony, all eyes were on these couples and weddings are so emotional and when you multiply that by 18, it’s really, really cool.”
And Palmer, married himself about 11 years, surprised his wife, Jennifer, with renewing their vows.
“It really took us back to the day we got married on the beach in Hawaii, and we’ve had a very cuddly weekend ever since.”
Plans are already on their way for the next event.
They will call it “Tie the Knot on Tybee 3 —Third Time’s a Charm.”
Heidi Klum opens arms to Britney
Heidi Klum wants to help Britney Spears. The 34-year-old model says she’d be willing to open her home to Spears while the troubled pop singer puts her life back together.
“She can call me and come live in our house with us for a couple of months,” said Klum, a mother of three who is married to the singer Seal and lives in Beverly Hills, Calif. “I would help set her straight.”
“I am sorry when a young person gets thrown so off track,” Klum said, according to a transcript of an interview that will be aired Monday by the German broadcaster ARD. “She has, of course, lived an extremely wild life.”
After more than a year of bizarre behavior and two stints in a psychiatric hospital this year, Spears was placed under a conservatorship by the Los Angeles County Superior Court commissioner at the beginning of February.
Conservatorships are established when a court determines that someone cannot take care of themselves or their affairs.
To hear Klum, the host of Bravo’s “Project Runway,” describe it, her own life seems like a fairy tale.
“I have never been as happy as I am today,” Klum said. “I have found the man of my life and we have three great kids. They are all so different and fantastic that it really can’t get better than this.”
