Weddings on unusual dates, such as ones with patterns — think 12/31/23, which is 1, 2, 3 repeated, or 07/07/07 — are popular. In April, there are several palindromic dates, or dates that are the same backwards and forwards, such as 4/22/24. There's also 4/20/24, which falls on a Saturday and might be a chance to have a cannabis-related wedding. It could be even bigger business for chapels in Las Vegas.

Excellent Reporting
I came across this podcast searching for local reporting on the tragic college murders, and I have stayed to listen to other Idaho news stories because I am impressed by Gemma Gaudette. She is thoughtful, insightful and knowledgeable and has a great speaking voice. The reporting is factual without sensation and has been respectful of the victims.
