Toilet-Paper Wedding Dress

Now that we’ve had the rubber wedding dress, let’s move to the other side of the spectrum: To the wedding gown made out of toilet paper!

Each year, Cheap Chic Weddings carries out a contest of toilet-paper gowns:

For construction only toilet paper, glue and/or sticky tape is allowed (any type, colour and make).

Here’s the winner of last year’s contest:

and 2007’s winner (where the bust area of the other winners are lacking, I thought that this winner found a good solution to the problem):

In 2006, the best looked so:

Unfortunately, the 2009 contest dealine has already passed, so this gives you enough time to prepare for 2010! Check out the website above for all the details.

The Naked Wedding

Ever seen one of these?

A wedding, at which the bride and groom come in their (birthday) suits?

Nackte Hochzeit

Their whole wedding was paid for by an Australian TV-show in return…

They donned their wedding clothes later, as you can see in their wedding video.

Wedding Faints

Judging from this video, you might think people faint all the time at weddings.

I haven’t seen one myself, but I sure will be shocked should I do so.

Wedding Invitations

Invitations are a pain to produce.

Make them look like anyone else’s (aka cheesy) and they’re done quickly.

If you want something more unique it’ll usually take quite an effort.

But you can just make the invite text special and you’re done quickly.

I love this RSVP from www.anthotherfuckingwedding.com:

Do Brides Lose or Gain Weight for their Wedding?

Easy!

“More than 70 percent of brides-to-be want to lose weight before their wedding day,
according to a new study from Cornell University. To reach the perfect wedding-day
weight, more than one-third of them use extreme dieting tactics such as diet pills and fasting.”

Not surprising. But is this good for you? Read the NY-Times article.

Cool Wedding Video

Good videographers are far between.

But when good one shoots a cool bride and groom, the results are stunning!

(watch through all of it, the great stuff starts halfway through)

And let’s not forget the great editing!

Proposal Ring Falls off Brooklyn Bridge

No kidding!

And caught on video!!

(those Americans, lol.
Although it would have made a great 1st April prank with a fake ring.
A mystery to me how they managed to “retrieve” it after it had fallen off the bridge…)

Postnuptial Depression

It’s real, so prepare for it!

It’s the low after the high, no longer busy feverishly planning for a common goal and perhaps even feeling “buyer’s remorse”. Nothing much seems to change after the wedding, no new and delightful world appears, and there’s still a lot of work to do such as doing the thank-you cards, paying the rest of the bills and wanting to see the wedding photographs and video which might still take weeks or months to arrive.

It’s a common problem, so it’s good to know that it exists and being prepared should it happen. Here’s an interesting article from Time Magazine:
