Elizabeth Smart tells her wedding story in the new People magazine, in stores this Friday.  Her dress is from Kleinfeld’s (the famed Manhattan bridal shop featured on TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress).

Smart family spokesman Chris Thomas, who helped organize the wedding, said "Things went very well. Her wedding went off without a hitch. She was elated she got what she wanted: a wedding with family and friends in a nice, private, intimate affair.  The only way she was going to get that was to get married in an unscheduled ceremony outside of Utah."

Thomas said Elizabeth knew there would be a lot of public interest in the event, and she chose to invite People to the wedding because she liked the way previous stories about her had been written.

Some people are coming together to create a memorial to Susan Cox Powell and her sons, Charlie and Braden. Pleasant Green Cemetery in Magna has offered to donate a 15-by-15-foot plot of land for the memorial, and West Valley City Mayor Mike Winder announced plans last night for the memorial to be constructed.  A bronze sculpture will be created by Kearns sculptor Stan Watts, and will be positioned at the entrance of the cemetery. If you’re interested in contributing to the project, you can make a donation at any Cyprus Credit Union location.

Ikea, the Swedish purveyors of modernist DIY home furnishings and 50-cent hot dogs, has heard your pleas: They admit that their wordless assembly instructions make things more complicated than they need to be. Thus, they have begun posting "How-To" videos on their YouTube channel. The first in the series is a four-minute clip on assembling the Malm bed frame. There are helpful pop-up windows, and viewers can pause, rewind and fast forward easily. New videos are planned weekly, with upcoming spots for the Pax Lyngdal wardrobe and Galant corner desk. No word on whether videos are planned for making Swedish meatballs.
