Cathy’s Choice: One Beautiful Big Day
Cathy says: While we see a lot of wedding videos between proposals, ceremonies and first dance routines, Rowden Go Pangcoga and Leizel May’s story really touched me. Rowden was diagnosed with stage four liver cancer earlier this year and the couple moved their wedding date forward as they knew Rowden didn’t have much time left. All of the feelings.

Rebecca’s Choice: Blurred Lines of Communication
Rebecca says: This has to my favourite story of the week. When I heard about Pharrell Williams appearing at a nightclub in my home town of Newry, I just couldn’t get my head around it. In fact, I’ll be honest, I was a little hysterical. You can imagine then my disappointment when the nightclub announced that it wasn’t going to happen after all.

Sue’s Choice: If You’re A Bird, I’m A Bird
Sue says: My favourite story of the week was the feature that Grace wrote about the Notebook and how it has lied to basically everyone for years because, let’s face it, it’s completely unrealistic. Sorry everyone but if you read this you will understand why we suddenly had a lot of unrealistic expectations for our relationships and lives… in general.

Michelle’s Choice: Ah Would You STOP
Michelle says: Road signs? Sure what would you need those for. This list by Sue was one of my favourite things this week. From refusing to queue to having ‘just the one’, it’s an ode to the little quirks that make us special. Of course we’d never admit to being special… because we can’t take a compliment.

Liz’ Choice: On Reflection… This is Hilarious
Liz says: I happen to be one of those annoying adoring aunties who loves flicking through pictures, watching videos and sharing stories on anything my niece Saoirse (otherwise known as our ‘little nutter’) gets up to. Children do the darndest things, and when I saw this clip of baby Leon working out the wonders of eyebrows – well I laughed, hit replay and followed that little pattern a few too many times more than I’d ever admit.
I’m not even going to ruin it for you. Watch it. It’s AMAZING.

Grace’s Choice: Can You Feel The Love Tonight?
Grace says: I can remember the very first time I watched The Lion King and to hear that the Disney classic celebrated its 20th anniversary this week made me feel, well quite frankly, ancient. The highs, the low, the tears of sorrow and the tears of laughter, The Lion King has it all. To prove my love for the movie two decades on I put together 20 reasons why The Lion King is the greatest Disney animated film of all time. Do I still cry when Mufasa dies? Yes, every single time.
