Maid of honor presents bride with chicken nugget bouquet - New York Post
Tuesday, October 22, 2019When this bride saw her wedding bouquet, she probably exclaimed, “What the cluck?!”Ohio newlyweds Blair Hardy and Adam Tyson got an extra special surprise from the maid of honor, Jenna Spetz, at their recent wedding reception: a bouquet of chicken nuggets instead of flowers.When the Toledo bridesmaid was pondering her maid-of-honor speech, she wanted to find an appropriate way to surprise Hardy, her cousin. So she decided to play with Hardy’s obsession for chicken nuggets by reaching out to, appropriately enough, Tyson Foods for help.“[Blair] has always LOVED dino nuggets and was marrying a man with the last name Tyson, so it really was a match made in heaven,” Spetz told Business Insider.“I really didn’t expect my inquiry to go any further than an auto-reply from customer service,” said Spetz, who calls Tyson’s thorough response “mindblowing.”“Their PR team immediately reached out and wanted to be a part of the surprise!” Spetz continued, noting that the brand even coordinated with a local florist to make it happen. “Once they got involved, everything seemed to fall into place.

Add Christian rap and poor country girl to Anna Konkle’s character and you’ll understand the allure of my younger self.My backstory does not resemble a ladder, a straight path, or a ‘get your degree and enter the job market’ sitch. It’s much more of a 20+ years of pent-up underdog rumbling around in my tummy kind of story.Nobody expected much from me as a kid. I wasn’t a strong student or particularly ‘hawt.’ I had bologna in my school lunches, never Lunchables. I have only recently admitted to sewing imposter Guess labels into my mom-made jeans. But I have grown stupidly proud of my scrappy nobody existence. When you have nothing to lose, you f*cking leap.I was curious, prone to boredom, high... https://www.investcourier.com/interviews/14774/sit-down-with-amy-mccord-jones-of-flower-moxie/
