First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage I am getting married in June and am looking for a unique venue to host about 30 guests for brunch or dinner. We live in the Grove so something in the general vicinity (Grove, Gables, Key Biscayne, South Miami, etc.) would be preferred.

Eye Need Help! My right eyelid has stopped opening completely and it really bothers me. I'm not sure if it is a neurological problem or just aging (at 50, I don't consider myself old), but I believe surgery is available to correct the problem. Do you have experience with this? Any and all advice is much appreciated.
