For her grandparents' 61st wedding anniversary, Lauren Wells wanted to give them the weddingphotos they never had a chance to take. Their anniversary session, inspired by Pixar's Up, is a testament to their long and happy marriage.

Wells told Style Me Pretty that the couple, known affectionately as Nina and Gramps, have only one photo from their wedding day because their photographer stood them up.
With proper wedding photos long overdue, Wells, an event planner, worked with Cambria Grace of Cambria Grace Photography to put together a whimsical anniversary photo shoot.

She also enlisted the help of Wild Folk Studio to supply flowers, and Becky Brackett of Pop & Circumstance to supply vintage props...

Reposting this from Facebook so I don't have a link.
Jessica Eaves from Guthrie (Oklahoma - USA) recently had her wallet stolen by a man while she was grocery shopping. Most people in that situation would immediately get the authorities involved, but she found a way to resolve her problem herself.

"I saw this gentleman down the aisle from me," Jessica tells us. "He walked behind me, and when I got a couple of aisles over, I realized my wallet was gone."

"I spotted him in a crowded aisle and approached him," she continues. "I'm a pretty out-there personality, but I was quiet and calm."

"I said to him, 'I think you have something of mine. I'm gonna give you a choice. You can either give me my wallet and I'll forgive you right now, and I'll even take you to the front and pay for your groceries."

The alternative? Jessica reporting him to the police.

"He reached into his hoodie pocket and gave me my wallet," she recalls, adding that the man was extremely grateful for her help and forgiveness.

"He started crying when we walked up to the front," she says. "He said he was sorry about 20 times by the time we went from the pickle aisle to the front. He told me he was desperate."

She spent $27 on his groceries, which included milk, bread, bologna, crackers, soup and cheese. "The last thing he said was, 'I'll never forget tonight. I'm broke, I have kids, I'm embarrassed and I'm sorry.'"

"Some people are critical because I didn't turn him in, but sometimes all you need is a second chance," says Jessica.

She adds, "My brother and I lost my dad to suicide when I was seven, and I remember him telling me years ago that no matter what I become in life, to always, always be kind."
