| At Random: Prem Sadarangani
Planning for a wedding is stressful, time-consuming and very expensive, especially for the bride. Although I had the responsibility of picking out my bridal party's attire for my recent wedding, my husband also suggested that I be in charge of picking out his party's attire as well since in his words, "the woman knows best." I had my mind set on selecting the men's tuxedos from one men's apparel store I visited about two months ago. However, I still wanted to shop around. One day before going to work, I wandered into a store on Ashley Street. To my surprise, the first thing I noticed as I entered was the fragrance of a nice cologne for men and gospel music, very different from the usual jazz or urban music that I hear when I enter other stores for men. I was greeted by three very nice and quite humorous gentlemen whose delightful nature and cheerful banter made it hard for me to actually do "serious" shopping.

MUKTASB COMPLETES HAT-TRICK
Muktasb swept to victory in the Kempton For Weddings Handicap at the Sunbury venue to complete a hat-trick and keep the dream alive for his part-owner and stable lass Claire Comery. The seven-year-old was pencilled in for a trip to the sales but Comery stepped in and bought a half-share in her pride and joy at the beginning of November to ensure his future at trainer Derek Shaw's Newark yard. And the 7-2 chance came with his customary late burst to record a double at Kempton and a three-timer in all following on from a victory at Lingfield over Christmas. Comery said: "He always tries and he does love it around here. "He needs settling on the rail and when he gets a split you just let him go and he is off. "He was due to go to the sales but me and another lad bought a half-share each in him, and he has won four races since then and I love him to bits." Sandra Colville was another lady owner to hit the bullseye on a low-key afternoon as Certifiable (13-2) ran out a neck winner of the Panoramic Bar & Restaurant Handicap.

It's an uninspired romantic comedy that adheres slavishly to the conventions of the genre. But the movie is made pleasant by the likeability of its star, Katherine Heigl, and her chemistry with the affable James Marsden. .
