Your wedding day always comes with a few things you stress over. But imagine being this couple who almost missed their big moment on the island they were getting married on!
The wedding was happening right near Boston last Saturday on a place called Thompson Island, but the vows almost didn’t happen.
The bride got the venue no problem, but it was the groom and groomsmen were waiting for the last ferry across when all the sudden the boat broke down!
Luckily the Boston Harbor Patrol was able to save the day and take the guys across over to the island. Phew!
An officer with the Boston Harbor Patrol used his boat to take them all across. It turned out the DJ, florist, and wedding photographer all needed a ride too, so they hopped on as well.
You had it at the circus, maybe at baseball or hockey games, your kids always beg for it… the stickiest of treats, cotton candy. The person who came up with this crazy idea might surprise you.
Cotton Candy’s inventor was a dentist! Back in 1897 Doctor William Morrison brought the idea to candy maker John Wharton, and together they created the sweet snack we all know and love.
Cotton Candy was first premiered in 1908 at the World’s Fair. At that time it only cost $.25 cents.
Congratulations to Daniel. He beat Raven this morning during “Can’t Beat Raven” and earned himself the $1,700 jackpot! The jackpot will reset again to $100 tomorrow. Who will be our next big winner!?

If you finally hit it big in the entertainment business, what would you do with that first big check? Tiffany Haddish bought a house with her first check, but Anna would knock something else off her bucket list… (:30)
You wouldn’t think that outlet shopping would end up being memorable, but Anna had a magical experience while out shopping with her family the other day! (2:48)

Did you ever have a lemonade stand as a kid? Anna had no idea that there is apparently paperwork involved in it these days! (10:20)
Everyone remembers the classic movies that they grew up with, but what are the new movies that will be remembered as classics by our kids? Being the mom of two daughters, Anna knew exactly what movie would be a classic for her girls! (13:37)

Is there any accomplishment that deserves a month-long celebration? One major celebrity has been celebrating for a month, but Anna isn’t sure they have a good enough reason… (27:26)
Noah and Giselle have a son going into second grade. They received the class list and one of the other students in their son’s class is a boy that bullied him last year. Even though the issue was resolved, Giselle feels as though she should email the principal and ask if her son can be moved to a different class. Noah thinks this is unnecessary, their son needs to learn how to handle difficult situations and it was all amicably resolved last year. What would you do? (33:50)
Danny has got a shot at $1600! Does he have what it takes to beat Raven in pop culture trivia and claim the prize? (40:31)

If you’re familiar with the Fairfield area you probably know the Inn at Fairfield Beach. A Staple in the town for years. It was recently put up for sale which worried a lot of residents.
But now a father son duo have swooped in to buy it and save the day. Jeff and Mike Giannone will purchase the Inn for $2million and say they plan to refresh the famous beach area landmark to make it available to people for years to come.
Love seeing this type of thing come together. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
