sassy, glamorous women of Bryn Athyn strutted their stuff at last Saturday’s exclusive evening event. An invite only affair, A-list ladies gathered for an elaborately planned event catered by Sutton, Rose and Co. The theme was enviro-minimalist. The menu featured water and breath mints, and all proceeds from the event went to support a greener earth! The $11.72 raised during the 20 minute party was donated to help print GAB! Magazine on recycled paper. GAB! projects that by 2032 sufficient funds will be raised to begin the transition to post-consumer stock.

GARRETT WED “I GIVE THIS WING...”
Michael Cera: “People tell me all the time how much I look like Garrett Nash.”
Producer Garrett Nash and French billionaire Fauve Bouchard wed July 17 in a romantic ceremony in Bryn Athyn Cathedral. GAB! has the inside look into the couple’s intimate nuptials. Fauve wore a simple, elegant white strapless gown and carried a bouquet of white and yellow roses and some other type of undisclosed blue flowers in a ceremony that included singing, a processional and a recessional. Before the blushing bride said “I do” in French, she reportedly shed a few tears in front of their 300 guests, which included the groom’s father and mother, David and Marty Nash, sister Angela Nash BauMadsen married to Darren, and their daughter Fiona (2), brother Scott with his wife Abbey and daughters Caitlyn (3) and Charlotte (1), and older brother Brent with wife Laura and son Colin (2). Fauve’s family travelled from Paris to attend the spectacular affair. Her mother Tracy, father Paul, brother Quenten and sister Genevieve with her daughter Addison (4) all made the trip. Garrett’s mother said, “I thought Fauve was a beautiful bride. The whole wedding was a whirlwind. Usually the bride feels that way, but I did!” The exclusive reception was held at the Grand Pavilion from 7 pm to 1 am. The decor was over the top with 10,000 roses covering the dance floor, and an 8-tier, 10foot wedding cake. The photo-booth proved scandalous when some late-night partygoers forgot to take their photos with them.

TERYN TIES THE KNOT! “I’M MARRYING MY BEST FRIEND.”
CLOSE CALL The wedding planner told GAB! she noticed a typo when she went to pick up the cake. “Instead of ‘LOVE’ it said ‘VOLE.’ Derek hates small rodents, so we got them to fix it right away.”
Teryn Genzlinger and Derek Glunz are finally husband and wife, a rep for the stars confirmed to GAB! last week. Teryn and Derek joined hands in marriage during a late afternoon ceremony at Bryn Athyn Cathedral on August 9. Rev. Chuck Blair served as officiant in front of a crowd of 200 family and friends. The bride wore a vintageinspired silk dress perfectly accented by a 40K canary yellow diamond on a pearl necklace. She was overcome with emotion during the ceremony. Afterward, everyone joined the couple for an intimate reception at Cairnwood Estate. Guests gorged themselves at a smashed potato martini bar then followed kid-brother Cody Glunz’s lead as he tore it up on the dance floor. The newlyweds enjoyed an intimate honeymoon on the island of St. Lucia.
Sparks fly between brother Lane and Simma Rosner as they send off the newlyweds.

Aria Silverman and Rich Carter wed in Raymond, Maine on September 19, their reps report. Aria and Rich met at St. Lawrence University and began dating in September, 2002. Their first date was at the canoe shack on the Grasse River, and that is where they fell in love. Fittingly, Aria’s father, Rev. Dr. Ray Silverman, also the minister, brought Aria to her waiting groom by way of a canoe ride. Aria’s niece Chyler dropped rose petals in the water along the way. Unconfirmed sources say the wedding ceremony took place at 3:30 pm at the edge of a beautiful blue lake. Cocktails and an all-organic, fairtrade, locally grown dinner immediately followed the ceremony. After dinner the guests joined in riotous dancing, including a heated Limbo competition. The music continued well into the night, and more than one of the bridesmaids joined the band on stage with a little backup crooning.

SIRI SAYS “I DO” TO HER HANDSOME PRINCE IT’S A FAIRYTALE WEDDING CELEBRATION Siri Yardumian Grubb wed Daniel Francis Griffin, Jr. in an elaborate affair September 18 at Bryn Athyn Cathedral. The bride was escorted down the aisle by the groom, who was already looking weepy. He was able to regain control, and when asked if he would take this woman to be his lawfully wedded wife, Dan bellowed an 10 October 10, 2009
enthusiastic “I will.” Siri was absolutely stunning in an ivory dress with capped sleeves, an ornately beaded bodice and a 30-foot train. “My heart was beating so hard,” the bride gushed after the ceremony, “I thought it was going to bust out of my dress!” The ceremony was held on the fairgrounds of the Lord’s
New Church. The DJ played crowd favorites including “Thriller,” by Michael Jackson, “Fire Burning,” by Sean Kingston, “Do the Manhop Pop n’ Lock,” by Stephanie and “Down” by Jay Sean. Siri and Dan continued the party the following week in Jamaica.
In the sanctuary, spellbinding orchids were paired with aisle lanterns.
When asked how the big day went, the groom replied, “It was all a blur.”
Bridesmaids Diane and Steph battled it out at the bouquet toss.

AT HOME WITH SHANNON WALKO Shannon’s impeccable taste does not stop at the star-studded events she hosts—her daily life is just as glamorous. Shannon opened the doors to her home and gave GAB! the exclusive on how she maintains an A-list life, living space, and look.
D.I.Y. DECOR
If you want unique, high-quality decorating for less, do it yourself! Shannon’s silver clutch matches the accents in her home.
“Get a hobby,” advises Shannon, who taught herself calligraphy. “I often lend out my services—I just love doing it! And when I run out of things to calligraphy, I trace over things I’ve already done.” Shannon displays her work throughout her loft apartment, as a way to keep herself inspired. Calligraphy is not Shannon’s only pastime. “When I was little I loved to bedazzle,” she explains to GAB!, “I still try to add a little sparkle and shine whenever I can.” On multiple occasions, galleries have offered to display her unique sequined artwork. Shannon doesn’t have time to just sit around. She spends her days planning events for the stars and still finds time to constantly redecorate her home. “Until every surface shines with silver kitsch,” Shannon tells GAB! “A gal’s task is never finished.”

SHANNON’S SECRETS FOR SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINING “Always be ready for a party!” says Shannon, who is well-known for her themed soirees. “I have a great martini set that matches my phone, lamp, and side table, so I can just keep it out at all times in case I need to mix up a couple cocktails.” “People love to come to my parties because my collection of vintage objects exudes a sense of
comfort and charm. I own a surplus of fleamarket finds and family hand-me-downs.” “Of course,” she continues, “Throwing a good party also means inviting the right people. I like to keep the guest list classy. Lindsay Lohan, Tara Reid, Heidi Montag and Amy Winehouse are some of the regulars at my pad.”

SEEING DOUBLE! FALL’S HOTTEST ACCESSORY If you need one accessory this season to take your outfit from day to evening, this is it. A pair of twins is the must-have item this season. Twins give you an elegant “mom who can do it all”-inspired glamour. Take your pair with you anywhere you go. They go with everything from dressed up denim to party dresses!
WHEN DID IT ALL START? The “celebrities having twins” trend seemed to gain momentum in 2004, when leading lady Julia Roberts gave birth to Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus Walter Moder.
ACTUALLY, TWINS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE When you really think about it, having twins isn’t a new trend in Bryn Athyn obstetrics. Plenty of stars are twins themselves. The most famous twin celebrities today might be Jared and Jason JARED AND JASON Jungé, but plenty of other stars shared a womb, including Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Adam and Glen Sutton, Skyler and Aria Silverman, Travis and Gareth Walter, and Good Charlotte rockers Joel and Benji Madden.

YOU DRIVE ME CRAZY
Sky is not the first celeb caught with a kid behind the wheel.
“Sometimes I push the pedals and he steers. He’s got pretty good hand-eye coordination for a two-year-old.”
SKYLER CAUGHT IN DRIVER’S SEAT WITH YOUNG CHILD ON LAP Skyler Silverman claims he was only trying to get the young child out of harm’s way after an incident with paparazzi photographers. But as Skyler sits with his twenty-fivemonth-old nephew Cade Henderson on his knee, the wanna-be dad is putting baby Cade in far greater danger than he might realize. Yesterday motoring organisations condemned the 29-year-old’s irresponsibility. Charles Lindsay, spokesman for the AA Motoring Trust, said Skyler was putting the child “in a potentially lethal situation.” Lindsay added: “With a baby on his lap and his hands on the steering wheel, this monster is offering the child no protection whatsoever. Had he decided to start the car, drive away and then crash his vehicle, the baby would have been propelled at massive 20 October 10, 2009
force against the airbag, causing very serious injury. At the very least, that child should have been wearing a helmet.” Skyler, whose hits include Oops, I Hit It Again and Baby One More Rhyme, was being watched by photographers while he was chilling in his Jeep near his family’s home in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania. Skyler was unrepentant yesterday. “I had a horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi while I was with my nephew,” he said. He claimed he lifted his nephew from his car seat to shield him from the blinding light of the flashing cameras. “It was like strobe lights out of control. I was terrified they would blind him for life. I instinctively took measures to get my nephew and me out of harm’s way.” Bryn Athyn Police said they will be investigating the incident because a formal complaint has been made.

Unfortunately Nick was not available for comment, so these are our best guesses at what we think he’d say.
Will you work your Foxiest Man title into your eHarmony profile? Of course! But I’m only mentioning it casually. I don’t want to come on too strong. How did you hear you’d landed the title? Actually, I just happened to Google “Foxiest Man Alive,” and there was a photo of me! I was a bit confused at first, but now I’m just really flattered. How has this changed things at the Willow Grove Mall? Being a Security Guard there is a real honor, and with my new title they’ve bumped me up to the double-ohfour position, so I’m really digging all the attention. What does your daughter think? She hasn’t talked about it too much, which is odd, but I think deep down she is really happy for me. How does this affect your chances with Megan Fox? Well, we obviously have a lot more in common now, so that’s great. I’m an old-fashioned guy, so we are taking it really, really slow for now. Pretty soon, we’ll be friends on Facebook.

My 10 year high school reunion is this year, and I’m a little worried I haven’t accomplished anything worth bragging about. What should I do? — Part-Time Waitress with No College Degree Dear Part-Time, Simply pose one or both of the following questions to your overachieving classmates: 1. How much debt do you have? 2. Did you know that most women gain 15 pounds within their first year of marriage? Gabbie I met this girl at a party, we started chatting, and eventually she gave me her number. The next day I texted her to see what she was up to, but she hasn’t responded. What’s the deal? — Too Timid to Call Dear Too Timid to Call, Texting is a completely unacceptable medium for arranging a first date. Texting should only be used for two things: 1.
