Weddings

Summer wedding season is upon us, and some of us are not excited.

When we realized we had just bought napkin rings, a bookshelf, batteries and a giant sack of frozen meatballs, we realized you really can get everything at IKEA. Apparently, that even includes a husband.*

If you were planning on taking pictures at your wedding, you may as well cancel the photographer. In fact, you should probably call off the entire wedding, because what could possibly top this picture?

Robert Watling and Kelli Johnston are a speedy pair. In fact, Watling proposed to Johnston last October after they completed the Chicago Marathon, which was one of the many 26.2 mile races the couple had completed together. Given their shared history of racing together -- their first date was a 5K race -- getting married after the Boston Marathon seemed like the natural thing to do.

There are tons of ways couples can make weddings unique and personal, like cranking out a 'Gangnam Style' dance or perhaps setting the record for the world's longest dress train. And then there are personal touch routes that are just plain awesome, AKA the coolest wedding themes ever.

Wedding planning is already full of potential friendship traps. Who's going to be in the bridal party? Who gets invited with a date? Who sits where? Thanks to a new trend in "you're not invited" alerts, now newlyweds-to-be can also thoroughly offend those who aren't necessarily in their inner circle.

Most of the time our fear of heights is ridiculous. We can admit that. This time, however ... BOOM! WE KNEW IT! AIN'T NOBODY SHOULD BE GETTING MARRIED IN A HOT AIR BALLOON!

The guys in this wedding band are seriously awesome. Not only are they playing an awesome bossa nova version of 'Enter Sandman,' they also put it up on YouTube because they aren't afraid of Metallica suing them. Do you think if we hired them they could do 'Raining Blood' -- that's the true test of any wedding band's bossa nova cover skills...

Over the weekend, scores of base jumpers headed to Fayetteville, WV, to leap off the New River Bridge as part of an annual celebration known as Bridge Day. But one couple made their leap especially memorable by tying the knot first. Hey, who are we to judge? Stranger things have certainly happened at weddings before.

If weddings were a sport, we'd be wrapping up the main season. And like all sports, there's a blooper reel!

In the wake of a failed marriage there are many questions. While, "what should I do with my wedding band?" probably isn't atop the "post matrimony to-do list", it's still a loaded question. Recent divorcee Rebecca Gibbs, an uber-creative New Zealander faced with that very question, decided to take matters into her own hands and launch the symbol of her failed marriage into spac

Okay, so this is definitely not timeless, but it's not forgettable either. A San Francisco couple did a 'Gangnam Style' send up for their wedding video (which is apparently something people make now).

It's to be expected that all eyes are on the bride as she walks down the aisle, and rightfully so! But what guests often miss is perhaps the most precious part of the wedding, and they’d be able to catch it if only they’d turn around. Luckily for us, some photographers have captured this -- the moment a guy first lays eyes on his bride-to-be.

It sounds like something out of a cliched romantic comedy -- a best man loses the ring during a wedding ceremony and the nuptials stop as members of the party and guests get down on their hands and knees for a frantic search. The only problem is that this actually happened to an unfortunate couple getting hitched outside of London.

Try to imagine if instead of just sleeping in front of the television and yelling at everybody all the time to shut up, your grandpa liked to sing and dance and make people happy and go to parties. Basically what you're imagining is Diamond Dave -- a one-man singing, entertaining, dancing, party machine, who will come to your event and rock the house as only a 55-year-old singing Flo Rida can.
