“The Wedding” of Mike & Molly
Many TV shows end their seasons with a wedding and that’s just how the season ended on Mike & Molly. The finale featured a series of wedding day disasters; it started with a devastating hair salon experience, went on to the bride’s limo being towed and concluded with the bride and maid-of-honor getting a ride [...]
Say I Do Again
I know many of you are just trying to make it through the wedding the first time but have you given any thought to renewing your vows down the line? Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon recently renewed their vows at the Eiffel Tower four years after their wedding. Some couples renew their vows every year [...]
Angie’s Ring Rocks
Hollywood’s hottest couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, got engaged recently. No biggie. People get engaged every day but most women don’t get a rock like the one Angelina is now sporting. Brad Pitt worked with a jeweler in designing the ring for more than a year. It features a large emerald cut diamond with [...]
“The Five-Year Engagement” Opens April 27th
I recently saw a commercial for a new movie that looks pretty good. It has a producer with a string of hits, a great cast, and a premise that some people can actually relate to. If you’ve been engaged for a while, then you REALLY can relate to the premise. The film is called “The [...]
Queen Crashes Wedding
After seeing Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson’s characters in the movie Wedding Crashers, who eat, drink and try to hook up with women at the weddings they crash, I don’t think I’d be too happy about catching someone crashing my wedding.

Daffodils come in a variety of color combinations like yellow and white, yellow [...]
Love is in the Air
Have you seen the car commercial where a couple is driving around and the guy is desperately trying to get his girlfriend to see his airplane banner proposal? It reminds me of a recently engaged friend, Jackie, whose fiancé, Josh, did one even better. While on their deck, celebrating the one year anniversary of moving [...]
Bare Naked Nuptials
I’ve written about many unique wedding locations and unusual proposals over the years, but I’ve never come across a more unusual wedding ceremony than the one that just took place on Valentine’s Day at Hedonism II in Negril, Jamaica. The resort had a wedding contest for ten lucky winners. The prize…to wed in the nude [...]
Retirement Home Romance
In honor of Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d share this incredible love story I came across on the Today show’s website. William and Margaret were friends years ago but lost touch with each other. Living in the same retirement home, they reunited and recently married…at age 91. As Margaret says, “It’s never too late.” It’s [...]
David’s Bridal Tells Us “What’s on Brides’ Minds”
Results from this year’s sixth-annual “What’s on Brides’ Minds” survey from David’s Bridal are out, and as in years past, I’ll give you a run down of some of the results that surprised me about wedding spending, what brides are wearing and trends from brides getting married in 2012. The survey revealed that brides are [...]
