The moment I walked into the One Night Stand store I fell instantly in love with it. To put the icing on the cake, the owner Sherry is an amazing touch. Her passion for her craft is unbelievable! She is warm, encouraging and can work with ANY budget! I am not the richest bride in the world yet she was able to make me feel like I was nothing less! The items that she provides for RENT will have your mouth on the floor!! Sherry has an eye like no other and has collected beautiful pieces to add that extra touch! I would recommend her to any and everyone!! You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much for willing to make my day the best ever!!!

Sherry did an outstanding job at my wedding reception. Everything was gorgeous. My guests flocked to the dessert table, not to get dessert, but to take pictures because everything was so beautifully decorated!! The canopy and chandelier were absolutely stunning. All of my guests wanted to take pictures underneath it. She made my wedding spectacular and all my guests raved about it. Everything was coordinated exactly the way that I wanted. Sherry was very flexible as well. I could make appointments around my schedule and her studio is filled with many treasures to choose from: plates, cake stands, flowers, decorations...you name it, it's there!

I had a Bastille Day Party on Tuesday July 14th with some friends. The cheese plate was beautiful and made a beautiful compliment to my table.

I was extremely impressed with Sherry's beautiful setup of the dessert table. It was gorgeous and utilized a variety of stands and serving dishes that beautifully complimented each other. The pillars turned out amazing and especially as it was Sherry's first time using these. The drapery around them made them extra nice. They were a 'wow factor' at this event. Sherry was amazing to work with and really put out 200% effort on making this event a wonderful and very pretty experience! Her pricing was very reasonable and we really got a big bang for our buck! I would highly recommend 'The One Night Stand' for any event. Sherry will not disappoint. Thanks Sherry!

A one-night stand is a single sexual encounter in which there is an expectation that there shall be no further relations between the sexual participants. The practice can be described as 'sexual activity without emotional commitment or future involvement'.[1]
The one-night stand is the most common form of infidelity[1] and is often used in research, polls and surveys to define the level of promiscuity in a society at any given time.[2] It has also been suggested that such an act can be as threatening to a relationship as a long-term affair:
A one-night stand can be more dangerous than finding a lover with mutual considerations. This scenario is good for the business traveler who has the odds in his or her favor; however, it is very important to know with whom you are getting into bed, even for just one night. No one should be exempt from causing you a problem, no matter the distance or circumstance. A one-night stand is still a form of infidelity and can be just as damaging for you and your partner if discovered.[3]
Some women have suggested that women who feel sexually insecure or unfulfilled should seek out one-night stands for personal growth and fulfillment. One writes, '[a] one-night stand is the erotic manifestation of carpe diem— only we are seizing the night instead of the day'.[4] Another source advises women seeking empowerment to 'jumpstart your heyday by having a one-night stand',[5] and clarifies that the one-night stand should be a conscious choice.[5]
The prevalence of one-night stands has been abetted by the advent of online dating apps such as Tinder and Grindr, which allow people to connect for purposes including sexual encounters, although these tools can also be used to seek longer-term relationship partners.[6]
Relationship therapistLaura Berman suggests that the circumstances that lead to such an encounter do not necessarily preclude a later relationship:
Certainly, having sex on a first date can be a death knell if your partner decides that a one-night stand is all he is after. On the other hand, many happy couples broke that rule of no sex on the first date and have been together for years.[7]
In contrast to a one-night stand, when the individuals involved have recurrent sexual contact without romantic involvement, this is considered a casual sexual relationship.[8][9][10]
A one-night stand may also be included in a sexual fantasy.[11]
