When life hands you a bump in the road while wedding planning, grab the closest marching band, assemble your friends and family and throw a party to top all parties. That’s exactly what Jen and Nancy did. After experiencing every engaged couple’s worst nightmare — losing their paid-in-full venue — Jen and Nancy could have called the whole thing off. Instead, though, they managed to throw a celebration so epic we’re still trying to locate the nearest time machine so we can somehow go back and score an invite. How’s that for turning lemons into lemonade?

Jen and Nancy met 17 years ago in a bar in the West Village. Jen was in town visiting friends after backpacking through Europe, while Nancy had been living in Brooklyn and working long hours at her post-grad-school job for three years. As you might have guessed, they hit it off immediately. After 15 years together, they celebrated their love (and their legal right to marry!) in front of 200 of their closest friends and family with a beautiful wedding captured by NST Pictures. Jen and Nancy are currently living and loving in Brooklyn, NY with the newest addition to their family: their 15-month old son, Niko!

If you’re anything like us, you’re still grinning from ear to ear after watching Jen and Nancy’s special day. Go ahead, watch it again… and again. We won’t tell!

Trader Joe’s Mini Cooler Tote Bags Are Back – In The Most Adorable Spring Colors!

Rumor has it that there’s a brand-new set of Trader Joe’s bags on the way. Speculated to drop on February 3 or 4, the famed Mini Insulated Cooler Bags are gloriously returning in two adorable colorways: lavender and pink!

Here’s everything you need to know about the all-new Trader Joe’s Mini Insulated Cooler Bags!

@traderjoesobsessed

Trader Joe’s fan account, @traderjoesobsessed, shared the rumors about the Mini Insulated Cooler Bags with their Instagram followers on January 29.

“PSA! The mini Trader Joe’s cooler bags in pink and lavender should be here next Monday or Tuesday (Feb 3rd/4th) and the rumor is that there will be more supply than previous color drops!” thecaption reads.

Jayda Anderson / Dupe

The lavender and pink colorways are simply perfect for Valentine’s Day, and springtime as a whole! They both boast an insulated design to keep contents cool – bring one to the park, the lake, or on a picnic, and it’s sure to keep things fresh.

Brittney Rumbaugh / Dupe

It’s important to note thebags themselves are a limited-time item at TJ’s, and based on the building hype, you’ll likely want to have a plan to buy ‘em when they drop.

Trader Joe's

The last time the Mini Insulated Cooler Bags dropped was in fall 2024, right ahead of the holidays. They came in red and green colorways, which was such a great fit for the season! Each bag cost $3.99 at the time – the new lavender and pink iterations are likely to follow suit.

Trader Joe's

Some Redditors caught wind of the news about the bags and sounded off with excitement in this thread:

“I love these things — SO useful,” someone wrote. “My mom always sends us home with 1000x things to eat and so the bright green one from this fall (?) just permanently lives in my car.”

“I've been waiting for this,” another person announced. “I just had to retire my teal one.”

“I really hope this is true! 😭” someone else said.

Trader Joe's

The Mini Insulated Cooler Bags are rumored to drop in Trader Joe’s stores on February 3 or 4. Last time the bags went on sale (red and green), some shoppers noted that their respective TJ’s locations placed limits on how many customers could purchase.

We Finally Have An Update On Those Blake Lively & Taylor Swift Feud Rumors

Blake Lively and Taylor Swift are two BFF's who never fail to make headlines, whether they show up to Beyoncé's premiere together or Blake attends an Eras Tour concert. But after Taylor Swift was dragged into Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively's legal battle by allegedly supporting Blake's It Ends With Us script rewrites, some reports said Taylor wanted to take a step back from her friendship with Blake in 2025 — but according to one source, that's simply not true.

Here's everything we know about the rumors Blake Lively and Taylor Swift aren't friends anymore amid the It Ends With Us drama.

Sources first reported that Taylor Swift wanted to distance herself from Blake Lively amid Justin Baldoni legal battle.

One insider claimed that Taylor Swift felt like her being part of the meeting with Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively was "uncool and unnecessary."

"For the time being she is taking a step back from Blake because she doesn’t want to get tangled in this more than she already has – which is far more than she ever needed to be,’ they told DailyMail. "Her friends also think that Blake’s 'I’m Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have dragons' text to Justin was uncool and unnecessary because she was essentially used as an intimidation tactic. She was referred to as some kind of pet or possession."

But don't worry Swifties! Blake and Taylor are reportedly still friends.

The text in question came after that meeting between Justin and Blake, where Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds were reportedly present as well, and Blake wanted to explain why her friends had been in attendance. "If you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you'll appreciate that I'm Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have a few dragons," she allegedly said. "For better or worse, but usually for better. Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. you will too, I can promise you."

A little big cheugy? Yes. A reason for Taylor to end the friendship? Nope, because according to a Page Six insider, reports of a rift between Blake and Taylor are "not true," and even if there was a disagreement over Taylor's involvement in that conversation, they're still best friends.

Not only did Blake and Taylor watch the 2024 Super Bowl together (in a box no less), but Blake also celebrated her 37th birthday (plus the Eras Tour and the NFL season) with Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, Ryan Reynolds, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Jason and Kylie Kelce, and Patrick and Brittany Mahomes.

And after Taylor's 34th birthday, Blake shared a roundup of super cute photos from the party, saying, “Somehow, she’s even better in real life. Happy, happy birthday to the one and only.”

Here's hoping this is one BFF relationship that's here to stay.
