Holy crap, raunchy as ever…lol!

Meet the US’s longest married couple – they’re married for more than 78 years!

Questioned about the secret of their success, the husband said “It’s very simple. Give and take. Compromise”. A no-brainer, isn’t it? Yet so many marriages fall apart due to ego and a wandering eye…

LOL, so you thought you had a big wedding cake?

Beat this:The world- record 20’000 pound ice-cream cake by Dairy Cream in Canada.

Well, the secret’s out: There are going to be TWO royal wedding cakes, a traditional one with floral decorations and a modern touch and a groom’s cake with chocolate cookies covered with chocolate made to a recipe of the Palace itself.

The cakes will need to be large enough to feed the 600 guests!

Inspired by the upcoming Royal Wedding of Kate & William, couples are wanting the same for themselves.

Brides have always wanted to be princesses, with glittering tiaras, flowing gowns and long trails to match. The groom had to play Prince Charming for a day to complement the brides image and luxurious venues with sumptuous offerings completed the fantasy.

Now that we have a real royal wedding round the corner, and an apparently more fashionable one than most recent ones to boot, brides are wanting to have a piece of the action for themselves.

LOL, this couple was cursed instead of blessed during their renewal of vows in the Maldives. They didn’t understand the local language in which the ceremony was being carried out, so the officiant was free to say what he wanted. He cursed them!

I’d in any case want to understand what was being said, wouldn’t you?

Manolo Blahnik, the shoe designer who’s shoes are not unpopular at weddings, has opened a store in London.

For the rest of us, he’s promised to lauch a line of affordable shoes. Sometime…

Just imagine: You spend almost no time and money on your wedding. It’s conducted in your living room. It’s over in less than a minute, including a reading from the Bible!

It can and has been done.

“Short, sweet, quick and fast” is how this ceremony begins.

It’s sooo refreshingly different, I just love it!

It’s that time of the year again: wedding season. And where there there’s a wedding, there’s some potential of cr*p happening.

This isn’t the first time that the best man’s forgotten the rings. So what does he do? Call Rent-a-Ring. No kidding:

This lovely photo op turns wet pretty quickly. Wonder where they got all the dry clothes from, haha.

Dj’s at it:

Another cake hits the dust, so to speak:

With the unpronounceable Icelandic volcano closing air traffic in Europe, a resourceful couple had a web-wedding in Dubai, according to CNN.

“You can do it if you really want” comes to mind. And you get publicized in the media as well :-).

Ok, this isn’t new, but it can’t hurt being repeated:

DO research your photographer and
DON’T skimp on your photographer’s fees.

Of course, a high fee is no guarantee for good photography either. But the laws of supply and demand will usually put the beginners, the amateurs and the black sheep into the cheap corner.

Same goes for the videographer.

Beware wedding photographers, if you deliver crap you might be dragged into court. Ouch!

This judge spews technical jargon while slamming the two lady photographers for using entry-level equipment. However, a good photographer could deliver amazing results with just the equipment stated (A Canon Digital Rebel and two amateur lenses). The fact is that the photographers don’t have much of a clue about photography and would have delivered the same result with top-of-the-line pro gear.

Not quite so easy to make yourself as traditional wedding invitations, but that much cooler are invites and save-the-dates in video format!

Here are some awesome examples (wow!):

According to an online-survey in 15 countrries by Readers’ Digest, a majority voted that they would.

An average of 68 percent of respondents would still marry their current spouse.

Malaysia at 59% was at the bottom of the list while China topped with 83%.

The study’s results should be taken with a grain of salt, however, since the web-savvyness of the respondents (it being an online poll), the duration of the marriage, education, differences and similarities of the partners are some of the important parameters which were left unconsidered.

Here’s a how-to vid on making your own wedding invitations.

First, a listing of what all is needed:

Then, let’s make the card:

Voila!

Updos can be v-e-r-y elaborate and time-consuming to style, or rather simple DIY jobs, depending on what you’re looking for.

Here’s a nice example of the latter:

I’ve seen brides singing at the altar several times. Thankfully, they always got it right.

But sometimes, they don’t…

I might be tempted to call this sweet, but then – how can anybody marry someone so annoying?

OUCH!

A wedding reception for a stranger-couple right out of town hall in New York provides a recipe for success.

Here goes:

1) A fun-loving wedding couple
2) Good music and a first dance
3) A festive atmosphere (here with tents, costumed bridesmaids)
4) A wedding cake and a cake-cutting
5) An element of surprise
6) A few short speeches or toasts, saying nice (being vague makes no difference) things about the couple
7) Champagne flutes and something nice in them
8) Gifts (doesn’t seem to be that important)
9) Rice – or bird feed – to shower the couple with
10) Surprise experiences which are out of the ordinary (here a rickshaw)
11) Cheers and laughter.

Here’s the video:

Some more info on planning and execution. Cool job!

At first this was interesting,

then funny,

then embarrassing.

If you’re planning a speech this is a MUST WATCH, to know how it ISN’T supposed to be, LOL.

Cue cards sure would have saved his ass. Now he’ll be remembered for all time thanks to YouTube!

A proposal in Disneyland!
With song and dance!
