One man wants to send a happily married couple to Mars for over a year. |
Ever wish some incredibly wealthy random person would pay for you and your partner to take a vacation? Yeah, me too, just about every single day. But what if that mysterious and rich individual told you that he would pay for you two to go to, of all places, Mars? And what if you had to stay there for over a year? |
American millionaire Dennis Tito went to space over a decade ago, paid for on his own accord. In 2001, he was the first "space tourist" and went seemingly just out of curiosity and for fun, leading many to wonder if it was the first of many missions that wealth could pay for. Now, Tito is attempting to make that notion... |
Tito announced plans at the National Press Club to send a couple on the first manned mission to Mars in 2018. He was speaking at a press conference to launch the Inspiration Mars Foundation, which will support this new and fascinating mission wherein they would modify a rocket and space capsule to send the married pair... |
So, why a couple? Imagine being on a weeklong vacation with a stranger or acquaintance whom you had no real chemistry with. You'd have nothing to talk about, nothing to do together and you'd just generally be bored. Now, extend that vacation to being well over a year. Sounds terrible, right? By sending up a married cou... |
"When you're out that far and the Earth is a tiny, blue pinpoint, you're going to need someone you can hug," Tito said. And he's certainly right — people don't do well when under such stressfully quiet, isolating circumstances without somebody to bond with. A couple who is deeply committed and has a healthy relationshi... |
Of course, this would be the equivalent of living in the same apartment with your partner and literally never being able to leave, and that doesn't sound all that appealing, either. Hopefully, though, some lucky space-loving couple will find success in this idea and this mission, and our world can learn more about the ... |
What do you think about this? Would your relationship be able to handle a trip to outer space? |

About five years ago, former New York City roommates Carin Rosenberg Levine and Julia Lichtman Kepniss had a vision of creating a bridal store that would be trendy and friendly. They already had the dress sense (each searched long and hard for her own wedding gown) and store-owner smarts (Carin went to Yale business sc... |
I have a vintage couture gown that despite restoration has stains on the skirt, and the bustline is too generous. I need to find a great tailor or seamstress to rescue my diamond in the rough, and not break my wedding budget. HELP! |
Vintage couture gowns are an awesome way to go. You should take the gown to a cleaner and tailor that really knows about wedding gowns, so as to not risk damaging the delicate fabric and vintage quality of the gown. We recommend using Parkway Custom Dry Cleaners in Chevy Chase, MD. They have been in business for over 3... |

Hi Julia and Carin, I'm getting married in DC in March & still have not found my veil! I am wondering what the average price of a lace cathedral veil costs? The ones I've tried on in NYC and PGH were all over $2000 & I wasn't sure if this was normal b/c no one I know has ever spent that much on a veil nor can I find an... |
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Lace can be a pricey component of a veil. The same cathedral-length veil that is $300 without lace, would be $750-$1200, with lace depending on the type of lace used and the quantity. Certainly, the cost will depend on the quality of the lace as well. A beautiful French alencon... |
I'm on a tight budget and am assembling my wedding day outfit on my own. So far, I've got a gown from J Crew and shoes from the Isaac Mizrahi bridal line at Target. Do you have any tips for me on how to select a veil and accessories so that I don't end up looking like a mismatched, piece-meal bride. Are there local sty... |

What's the most popular shade of white wedding dress? I'm planning to go for an off-white. |
Every designer has their own array of whites, ivories, etc. One designer's ivory can look like another's white. It's always best to choose a gown based on its design and style, and then look at the color options. Almost all gowns can be ordered in multiple colors. At Hitched, ivory and soft white are very popular with ... |
On average, how early in advance of my wedding do I need to buy my wedding gown? |
At Hitched, we assist brides who have varying time lines for their wedding planning. It is optimal to order your gown 6-9 months before the wedding. Generally, the designer take 4-5 months to produce your gown and we like to have about 3 months to do alterations. This schedule allows for a stress-free and more flexible... |
I'm having a morning wedding with a brunch reception. I love very traditional, elegant gowns, but I'm worried this will look too over the top for a morning wedding. What do you think? |
Go for it! This is your one day to be the bride you want to be and to create a wedding that is uniquely you. Nothing could be worse than looking back at your day and wishing you had made a different choice. Don't feel constricted by random rules, if you want to wear a ball gown on a beach you should, if you want to wea... |
My fiance and I tell each other EVERYTHING, and I really want to show him my dress. How big of a deal is it to do this? Do most brides stick to the him not seeing the dress beforehand? |
If you haven't noticed by now, we are not sticklers for rules. Yes, the convention is still to keep the gown a secret from your fiance and the majority of your wedding guests. That said, we have plenty of ladies shopping at Hitched who want to share every part of their wedding planning with their fiance. We welcome it ... |
is white my only option for shoes?? |
Not at all. One big trend we've noticed has been the use of fun and funky shoes as part of the wedding day look. Some brides are using blue shoes to incorporate their 'something blue', while others are using the wedding as an excuse to buy a pair of their favorite Manolo's (you won't just wear those once). Don't forget... |
I'm 5'2" and wondering if there are any dress styles that are better for shorter women. Thanks! |
We have lots of gowns at Hitched that will work well for you. There are lots of tricks in the ordering process that can help give a bride an elongated look. Many designers will allow you to order their gowns with a custom hollow to hem measurement, which helps keep everything in proportion. One fun idea we have for you... |
What do you think about adding a little color to a dress? Like, maybe a colored sash or bow to match the bridal party? |
Great. Lots of brides are incorporating color into their wedding day look — whether it be through a sash, shoes, hair accessories or jewelry, there are lots of creative and fun ways to use color. Some brides opt to keep a more traditional look for the ceremony, then add color for the reception to contribute to a more f... |
I'm not a huge fan of my arms and was hoping to find a pretty dress with sleeves, but all the dresses I like are sleeveless. I feel like 99% of the dresses out there are. Do any designers do sleeves? Help! |
I'm thinking of wearing a gown for the ceremony and changing into a short dress for the reception–much easier to dance in! What designers could I look at for a short dress that still says wedding? |
This is a fun idea that lots of brides are doing these days. One of our favorite designers, Anna Maier/Ulla-Maija www.ulla-maija.com, has a fabulous new collection of short bridal gowns. We are hosting an Ulla-Maija trunk show at Hitched, next weekend (Feb. 22nd and 23rd). Feel free to get in touch to make an appointme... |
Who are some of your favorite wedding gown designers? |
All of the designers we work with are terrific and each one really speaks to a different style bride. We love Judd Waddell for his fabulous fit and timeles design element. Ulla-Maija is one of the most couture designers in the bridal industry — their architectural draping and made-to-measure gowns are so original and m... |

There truly are no words to describe the pure insanity of this heartbreaking story. It feels as though everyone is a victim in their own right. Jaxon, a 6 month old baby who was dropped off at daycare one day – is truly the biggest victim of all. |
One day at a daycare in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, something went horribly wrong. Much to everyone’s surprise, this is not a tale of the daycare provider doing something to harm a child. It’s far worse than that. |
This home run daycare was fully licensed, and Jaxon’s parents loved it. They had no reason to suspect they were dropping him off into danger at daycare. They had no prior issues or problems. |
However, one day Jaxon was found at the very daycare his parents adored completely unresponsive. Nate Liedl, Jaxon’s father, received a phone call that day that every parent hopes to never get. |
Jaxon’s parents were not together when he was born. However, both his Mom and Dad loved and adored him – especially Nate. He had always wanted to be a father and now he finally was. Speaking to friends and family, he said that he had waited his whole life for this moment. |
Sadly, for the first three months of Jaxon’s life – Nate was not able to be around his son as much as he had hope. This was due partly to Jaxon’s Mom having more custody, yet this would soon change. Nate was granted more visitation with his son. Things seemed to be moving in the right direction. |
The couple was doing well co-parenting. Jaxon’s Mom included Nate in many of the decisions she’d make regarding Jaxon. One of these decisions included where they would send him for daycare while they were both a work. |
They decided on a small, fully certified, in-home daycare run by Amber Sweeney. Due to the small size of Amber’s daycare, Jaxon would get the love and attention his parents hoped he would have while they were working. It’s the dream of every parent for their child to have such a highly personalized daycare program. |
Amber had a lot of experience with children. She was even a foster mother herself. She had been watching six children consistently at her daycare, including Jaxon, and she loved and cared for them as if they were her own. |
One of Amber’s foster children was a 10 year old girl. |
She had been removed from her biological parents for unbeknownst reasons. Yet, she never caused trouble in Amber’s home and seemed to get along well with the other children. One day though, this all changed. |
Amber had put Jaxon down for a nap around 3 p.m. Since there were so many other children in the house, and she didn’t want Jaxon to be disturbed, she told the other children to play outside. Amber of course watched them as they played. |
Around 3:40 p.m. Amber’s foster daughter arrived home from school. Amber had instructed all of the children to play outside until Jaxon woke up. Amber’s foster daughter did not listen to her. She didn’t go play outside with the other children while the six month old child napped. |
Amber didn’t initially realized her foster daughter hadn’t been listening. She then noticed she was in the house sitting near the bay window in the kitchen. |
This meant she had been alone in the house with Jaxon. This is when things took a shocking and tragic turn. |
Authorities received a panicked call from Amber around 3:30 p.m. on October 30. She called and frantically explained into the phone that 6 month old Jaxon was hurt. He was bleeding from his face. |
How could this happen? Who could have done this? Everyone was out of the house, or so Amber thought. Except for the 10 year old girl. For some reason, she had decided to pick Jaxon up and remove him from his crib while he was napping. |
She then accidentally dropped Jaxon which caused him to start crying. The girl began to panic. Jaxon had hit his head but appeared to be fine – other than being extremely upset. |
The girl should have then gone and gotten Amber from outside. The girl began to panic after she dropped Jaxon. She feared that she would get in trouble for what she did. |
However, a simple solution to the problem could have been offered. Had the girl gone to get Sweeney, Jaxon would have been okay. Although she shouldn’t have picked him up while he was sleeping, it could have been ok after this. |
Instead, the girl decided to take matters into her own hands. Literally. This is when she grabbed the baby, threw him on down, and stomped on the 6-month-old’s head. Repeatedly. |
She continued to do so until Jaxon became completely unresponsive. This is when Amber entered the house after realizing all the children were not outside playing. Amber then saw what had happened. |
She immediately called authorities, and then had to make the heartbreaking phone call to Nate to let him know what had happened to his young son. |
When Nate arrived at Amber’s home he was unsure of his son’s condition. He decided it would be best for him to follow the ambulance to the hospital. Jaxon was about to begin a fight for his life. |
All while this was happening, Amber and the children who had been at her home during the tragic accident were interviewed by police. The 10 year old girl was quickly made the prime suspect in the case. She then was taken away in handcuffs. |
When he arrived at the local hospital in Chippewa Falls, Jaxon seemed to be doing alright. Suddenly, his condition worsened. He was urgently airlifted to St. Paul, Minnesota. This is when Nate learned how seriously injured his son had truly been. |
The questions started flying at Nate faster than he could wrap his head around what was happening. Doctors began to ask him “what are we going to do if his heart stops?” Nate had no idea what to do or how to handle the situation. |
