Wedding of Laura Ashley Smith and Kyle David Pernelli

When I was a young boy I can remember having an existential crisis.

I knew I needed to find an answer and so one day I thought I would start to explore my options.

Wedding of Michael Corcoran and Jennifer Kelly

When he was about six-years-old, my nephew Matthew had a new toy, a Magic 8-Ball. I’m sure you’ve seen one: about twice the size of a softball, shiny black plastic, large number 8 on one side and a small round window on the other. You ask yes or no questions, turn the ball over, and a white object floats up through dark blue water with an answer written on it, something like “Without a doubt,” “Outlook good,” “Ask again later,” or “Very doubtful.”
