Hellman's Wants to Help a Couple Get Hitched in Vegas
In news to absolutely no one, weddings are really expensive. This plain fact has forced crafty brides to DIY everything from wedding centerpieces to thrifting dinner plates. However, in an unlikely union, Hellmann's (yes, the mayo folks) want to provide one lucky couple with a free Vegas wedding.
Interestingly, it's all in an effort to celebrate their new line of chicken tender dips. So, instead of saying "I Do," you can say "I Dip." And that's not even the wildest part of the whole contest.The winning couple will tie the knot ahead of National Chicken Tender Day on July 27 at the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel. But in order to win, you have to enter for the chance by sharing your love story by June 20.
If you're wondering exactly what this prize comes with, here's the deal: there's a ceremony officiated by Hellmann's mascot, Manny Mayo and a reception featuring chicken tender towers (of course) and plenty of Hellmann's Chicken Tender Dips. There will also be a professional photographer to capture these precious moments, and a $5,000 stipend to cover travel expenses.Now you do have to be 21 or older to win and must be engaged or a super serious relationship in order to win. Because, yes, you will be getting legally married on July 21 in Sin City.
Honestly, the only thing that would make this even better is some sort of reception duet between Manny Mayo and an Elvis impersonator. Is that really too much to ask?
Quickie Vegas weddings rose to popularity in the 1950s, thanks to Nevada's relaxed marriage laws—no waiting periods, no blood tests (back then it was a thing) and 24/7 wedding chapels. It became the go-to spot for impulsive nuptials, attracting everyone from young lovers to celebrities craving privacy and speed (though there was nothing private about Britney Spears' quickie wedding to Jason Alexander, am I right?).
Las Vegas embraced the image, adding Elvis impersonators, drive-thru ceremonies and themed chapels to the mix. It's still a favorite for couples wanting a fun, fuss-free and slightly rebellious way to say "I do" without all the planning and pressure of a traditional wedding.Hellman's Wants to Help a Couple Get Hitched in Vegas first appeared on Parade Home & Garden on Jun 4, 2025

Sculpting Trees, and Teaching Patience and Focus
Topiary, the practice of training plants into defined shapes, might evoke fantastical scenes from 'Alice in Wonderland' or the formal gardens of Versailles. Michael P. Gibson believes its lessons extend well beyond the aesthetic. 'Topiary forces you to learn how to be patient, because once you're trimming, you have to wait for that new growth to happen,' he explained from the top of a ladder propped against a 20-foot holly tree. 'I teach people that doing topiary can reduce anxiety. It helps you to stay focused.' In other words, it's healthy for the plant and the human. To that end, Gibson focuses on educating and serving communities (he holds a certificate in therapeutic horticulture). In Columbia, S.C., a capital city of about 140,000, he's creating a sensory garden at a neighborhood park. He also spends time traveling to take on new installations and maintain existent sculptures. The prospective clients who approach him — whether they found him through his online presence, word of mouth or his 2021 appearance on the HGTV competition show 'Clipped' — tend to give him creative freedom, since they're aware of his distinctive style. It's built on what he calls 'the Gibson method,' which has five approaches: storytelling; sacred geometry, which brings balance and harmony to his sculptures; the Japanese style of pruning called niwaki, opening up a tree to reduce energy and create structure; illusion; and directional trimming. (Like brushing hair, trimming in one direction allows for a smoother look.) All five need to be present for the design to be a Gibson creation. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Demi Moore's Granddaughter Louetta Is Glowing as She Gardens With Grandma in Summery New Pic
Flowers aren't the only thing blooming in Demi Moore's summer garden: her granddaughter Louetta is absolutely glowing as well! The 2-year-old daughter of Rumer Willis — who is Moore's eldest daughter with ex Bruce Willis — is enjoying a little sunshine and quality time with her grandma in lovely new pictures. And it's just the epitome of a perfect summer day! 'Never a dull day in the garden 🌼🌱,' The Substance star wrote on Instagram. The toddler looks so cute on a casual summer day in a matching floral sweatsuit with light pink rain boots. Her blonde hair looks golden in the sun as she leans forward to pat the soil in a flower bed next to Moore. Dogs surround them in the huge backyard in the casual snap.

It's grandma couture! In the last photo, Moore wraps an arm around Louetta as she crouches down to look at the camera. The toddler is the spitting image of Willis with her big brown eyes in this picture that's totally cute. Michelle Pfeiffer commented, 'Looks like paradise ❤️' Rita Wilson commented, 'That beautiful human flower! And those peonies 🌸' 'Cottagecore dream life 🥹🌸💕,' someone else noted. Moore, whose granddaughter calls her 'Yaya,' recently told PEOPLE about how she defines beauty at this stage in life. 'In a way, beauty just is,' she said. 'You can look at a flower and see its beauty. On a human level, I find it's authenticity and positivity. Beauty comes out of comfort with being exactly who you are.' And we can tell Moore exudes that quiet comfort and confidence, which her granddaughter will surely benefit from. In a September 2024 appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Moore shared that Louetta is helping to 'break certain generational patterns.' She explained, 'I can already see it within her.
