August 17th, 2010

Celebrity weddings happening left and right! This past weekend, Hilary Duff married Mike Comrie, a Canadian hockey player. And she wore Vera Wang, too! Seems like it’s a celebrity trend that no one wants to deviate from since recent celebrities, Chelsea Clinton and Alicia Keys also wore Wang.

Obviously, you can tell there are no good photos online yet of her wedding but here’s the best that’s out there so far. Looks beautiful even in it’s fuzziness. :P

If you want to hear about the details of the secretive wedding:

I wasn’t there, but I’d like to say that her dress looks gorgeous and so does she. :)

I won’t go on and on about how Alicia Keys is one of the my favorite music artists. And I won’t go on and on about how she is one of the only pop star musicians that have actual musical talent. I just won’t. :P

Alicia Keys got married this past Saturday to Swizz Beatz. They had a private ceremony overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. And very fitting of the region she married in, she wore a Grecian-like Vera Wang dress. So pretty. :O)

Will post later pictures of the Clinton wedding (once I find good ones!)

You may have heard a million times that Chelsea Clinton is getting married this weekend. Such an anticipated wedding and no one knows the details! The wedding vendors have all signed confidentiality agreements and surprisingly, guests have respected the privacy as well. Some $$figures have been thrown around on the news but for the most part, no one knows! Here’s what CBS speculates:

A $2 Million Wedding:

  • $250,000 for flowers
  • $155,000 for food and alcohol
  • $15,000 for air-conditioned port-a-potty’s

So hopefully, after the wedding is over, we can see some action here. There’s a whole website dedicated to her wedding and news about her wedding.

CBS Early Show:

CBS also talks about Chelsea wearing Vera Wang and her wedding venue.

Have you heard any other details?

Some of us are Twilight fans, and some aren’t. But regardless, you’ll be interested in Bella’s wedding dress. I haven’t seen the movie yet (released today) but I plan to, JUST to see the wedding of Edward and Bella. InStyle magazine shares sketches of the dress. There are several to look at….I wonder which one they went with. They all look very vintage with a modern day twist….all very beautiful. Thanks to the Vegas Wedding Planner for the tip-off. Originally, I wasn’t going to see the movie because I was pretty disappointed in the 2nd movie of the Twilight Saga. But if this one has a wedding in it, it’s a must see! You KNOW it’s going to be romantic. That Edward!

You might have seen the last several weddings on the Today show. How did those couples get so lucky and get a super duper awesome wedding on NBC’s Today show? Well, they entered and were chosen as finalists. For the first time, you can submit your video and information through Facebook. Last year’s couple did a vineyard wedding but htis year will be a modern wedding. The wedding will be aired live on October 6 and submissions will be accepted until July 9, 2010.

When I heard about the oil spill in the Gulf Coast, I was on the verge of tears. It’s so sad to see that we are destroying our planet and that we don’t have a solution to clean up the mess that is still brewing. The wildlife suffers and as a result, human-life suffers. I saw on CNN that vacationers are canceling their beach plans, but in addition, wedding couples are canceling their beach weddings. They’ll most likely lose their non-refundable deposits but it must be disappointing that they aren’t getting the beach wedding that they were expecting. There are rumors that a worst-case scenario shows that the oil will move around Florida and up the East Coast. Hopefully, the brides who have to change their plans last minute can find a quick solution. Beach wedding planners are not seeing any business come in, but rather, cancellation after cancellation. I hope they find a solution quickly.

Today is our one year anniversary of launching our site. We’re very excited at our (slow) progress to get our site up and running. We’re very grateful for our many readers and also for the friends that have helped us with blogging and developing the site. Yes, we’re still working on the planning features for brides and vendors and yes, we’re taking a lot longer than planned, but it’s coming along slowly and surely. Hopefully the features will be available by the end of the summer. Meanwhile, we’ve been enjoying our blogging team’s posts and it looks like you have, too. We just recently started our direct advertising (in the upper right-hand area of the site), we unofficially opened up our vendor directory as a result, and we held two charity raffles (one for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and another for the Haiti survivors).  If you know someone who would like to either  advertise with us or offer a special deal to our readers, please let us know! Thanks everyone for your support! More to come in the year!

Love,

Scott & Christine
