Is this your idea of a dream wedding?

When you were little and dreamt of your wedding day did it include bacon?

I can’t say my thoughts were ever pork related. But, really, that’s just because I didn’t know it was possible!

This couple has been described as “pork obsessed” and chose to tie the knot at the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival in Des Moines, Iowa.

And when asked about his bride, the groom lovingly replied, “She’s second only to bacon.”

Now that’s true love.

Well, folks, the new year is upon us! And we’ve gotta do all we can to make 2014 the best it can be.

Did you know there are foods that can help with that? That’s how the story goes, anyway.

For instance, pork is considered a lucky food to eat to ring in the new year. A pig’s rotund form is a symbol of wealth.

Fish, too, is a lucky food. Their scales represent money and the fact that they swim in schools means abundance.

Hey, I don’t make this stuff up. It’s just what the people say. Read about more lucky New Year foods here.

If you’re feeling lucky, try some of these out this NYE. And, if nothing, you’ll get a great meal out of the deal!
