MandyMooreBlog.com Launches Mandy Moore's Monthly Wrap-Up: March!

As we look forward to the beginning of a new month, MandyMooreBlog.com is proud to introduce our newest feature, Mandy Moore's Monthly Wrap-Up!

March started off with a celebration as Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams celebrated their one year wedding anniversary on March 10th. Exchanging their vows at a small country church in Savannah, Georgia, the couple's impromptu nuptials allowed them some much-needed privacy. Wedding planner Chad Baker shares his observations. 

On March 16, Mandy renewed ties with Coach as "I Could Break Your Heart Any Day of the Week" appeared on Coach's latest ad for its Spring 2010 footwear. Coincidence? Not likely. Just ten days later, Mandy lent her voice to Coach's Poppy Collection. Stay tuned on this one...

On March 23nd, Mandy Moore joined Senator John Kerry, U.S. Representatives Earl Blumenauer and Jim McGovern, Alexandra Cousteau, Population Services International and students from Oyster-Adams Bilingual School on Capitol Hill for World Water Day. Along the way, Mandy spoke before lawmakers and assisted in a record-setting attempt to form the world's longest toilet queue. Don't miss some extensive coverage on this story...

On March 1st, fans of Mandy Moore were treated to a sneak peek of Disney's Tangled! Focusing mainly on Rapunzel and her would-be suitor, Flynn, played by Zachary Levi, the preview sheds new light on what could be a real swashbuckler! Interestingly enough, a more extensive-yet-unfinished preview was leaked to OhNoTheyDidn't on March 20th. 

On March 6th, Mandy Moore signed on with GlaxoSmithKline for the launch of the pharmco's splashy new website, HelpPreventCervicalCancer.com! GSK's first venture with Mandy outside of a recent partnership with the Gynecological Cancer Foundation, the move was further cemented with a series of national TV commercials on March 14th. This one seems to be ongoing...

North Carolina Pizza Restaurant Serves Up Ryan Adams-Inspired Menu Items

Proving that Ryan Adams is all that and a pizza pie, a small restaurant in Greensboro, North Carolina has named every menu item after one his songs!

Sticks and Stones reportedly came to the ultra-fine decision recently, following a successful collaboration between the restaurant's owner and his chef. "They're big fans of Ryan," says Sandy Blocker, a cook at the restaurant. "It's just one of those things. People who know Ryan's music get the idea, and the people who don't are oblivious."

Customers as a result, can now order the "Gold" (House-Fried Mozzarella), a "Heartbreaker" (Classic Caesar), the "New York, New York" (Pizza), or "Easy Tiger (Soup of the Day).

Located near the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, the restaurant opened in April 2009.

What a living tribute!

Happy, Happy First Wedding Anniversary Mandy Moore & Ryan Adams!

MandyMooreBlog.com would like to wish Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams a very happy and healthy first wedding anniversary!

It was on this day, one year ago, that Mandy and Ryan completed a month-long engagement with an intimate wedding ceremony in Savannah, Georgia. Joined by Pastor Steven Schulte, the couple invited just two witnesses to the simple service at Whitefield Chapel.

According to the eyewitness reports, Mandy wore a cream-colored, lacy tea-length dress and flat sandals, while Ryan wore tight skinny jeans, a t-shirt with sport coat and sneakers.

The couple also shared some romantic moments as "Ryan turned and took Mandy's face in both of his hands and gave her another kiss. It was so romantic," noted wedding planner Chad Baker. "I just can't stress how happy they seemed."

Happy First Wedding Anniversary, Mandy and Ryan!
