As the fates would have it, I agreed and gave our wedding my full attention and partook in all aspects of planning our wedding.  Ironically meeting with all the different vendors and even wedding officiants was anything but boring.

Being a man I had always imagined that if and when I got engaged to be married I would have little to worry about in the way of wedding plans and things of that nature.   Perhaps I was being a bit chauvinistic in my assumption that brides took care of and addressed all plans and problems surrounding the wedding.  In truth all I ever wanted at my wedding was an open bar and some good rock n roll.  I cared very little about anything beyond those two must haves.

SuperCamp teaches teens important life lessons.

Teens at our
academic summer camp, SuperCamp, find out an important life lesson when we talk
to them about how failure leads to success. Our failures provide us with
valuable gifts?they give us the information we need to learn so that we can
succeed next time.

The only path to
success is stepping out of your comfort zone and being willing to risk. What
keeps us from taking risks? The view that failure is a negative and the fear
that failing will cause us shame and guilt. How would you act if you knew that
failure is virtually your only path to success? We know this because nearly all
successful people failed a lot. But they learned, tried a new way, and went on
to succeed.
