We recently launched new community forums on OurWeddingDay.com!
Now you can discuss and plan your wedding with real brides-to-be across the country. Experts will also stop by and add to the discussions from time to time. It's the perfect way to celebrate your wedding with girls who know what you're going through!
Marissa, will you marry me? from justin on Vimeo.
In case you haven't heard of Tumblr, it is a social media blogging tool with a heavy and passionate community. Some of us on the OurWeddingDay team even use the website for personal use. So imagine our joy and glee when we logged in last night to see our dashboard (where all Tumblr users are taken once they login) with a giant wedding proposal at the top!
Justin, not only announced his proposal to the entire Tumblr community, but he also included an adorable video (embedded above) just in case she had to think about her answer.
Check it out, these two are adorable!
It's that time again: Altarcations, one of our favorite wedding blogs. The gist is, Altarcations is feature at Gawker in which Phyllis Nefler reviews The New York Times' wedding section. It's lots of fun.
This week's Altarcations involves horseradish as a wedding trend, doing shots at the altar, cubs marrying cougars, dissections of "power couples" and a lot more!
Want to save a little money on your wedding? Consider a city hall marriage! Now, we know there may be some stigma, and stereotypes about weddings in a non-traditional reception/ceremony site but consider the following photos as proof. We now present the adorable wedding of Kelly and Peter, who married last summer in the San Francisco City Hall.
The bride and groom are dressed adorably -- seriously, we could have an entirely separate discussion on the bride's yellow dress in itself!
Have you ever considered a city hall wedding? Skip some the drama and have it be just about the two of you, and your lucky witnesses?
Oh boy, it's time for one of our favorite wedding blog posts: Altarcations. For those of you who don't know, Altarcations is feature at Gawker in which Phyllis Nefler reviews The New York Times' wedding section.
This week Phyllis discusses more crazy Halloween-themed weddings. Check out that image, above! It's: Melissa Johnson, "known for her sardonic humor and love of dark, gory films and burlesque" was surprised when she fell for chipper Timothy Lagasse, an "endlessly upbeat designer and fabricator of puppets" who works for shows like Sesame Street.
How great is that!?!?
Other couples profiled include Jonathan Rich & Nancy Kelton (the same Kelton who wrote a pretty nasty dating book in the '90s -- so this is a happy ending for her!), a couple who met at an ATM machine, beautiful doctors and so much more.
Les Atwell, 94, and Sheila Walsh, 87, just married after a four-year courtship, becoming "Britain's oldest newlyweds."
Check out the full story here.
We love Les' quote on wedding planning: "It didn't take us long to organise the wedding. You can't hang around at our age."
This is our official "adorable of the day." Check out this wedding invitation a designer made to reflect the 8-bit video games from the 1980's. We're a little bit in love.
Check out more photos of the invitation here. This could have only been cuter if it were Mario and the Princess. Not that we played video games or anything....
Oh yeah...
Over at NY blog Gothamist there's this great post about a marriage proposal in the middle of the famed New York Marathon!
"This runner stopped along the NYC Marathon course, right after mile 16 (coming off the 59th St. Bridge into Manhattan) and proposed to his girl. He pulled a ring out of his pocket (I'm assuming it was a ring box - it was something black and square) and they had a few moments. I didn't think to get a shot of his bib number to identify him, so I'm hoping that people might link to this pic on Facebook or twitter in hopes that it'll get to this couple. I'm sure they'd love to have it. :-)"
Check out the full Gothamist post here.
We love that he carried the ring with him on the run and then stopped racing to pop the question!
Oh boy, it's time for one of our favorite blog series: Altarcations.
It's a weekly feature over at Gawker, in which Phyllis Nefler reviews The New York Times' "Weddings" section. And we love it.
This week Halloween weddings make an expected appearance, as does a wedding which was fully described before it took place (spoooooky!), the introduction of the acronym "LOB" into the lexicon (it stands for "Level of Brutality"), and a whole lot more.
Check out a video of the infamous Karen here.
We understand that wedding planning can sometimes be stressful, and so we always give brides-to-be the benefit of the doubt when they lose their cool.
But seriously, is official Bridezilla Karen just a monster or what? We've weighed in on her before, and we've tried to be happy for her, but she just seems so mean!
Of course, congratulations Karen! We wish you all the happiness in the world and in your marriage. But now that the planning is over and you're out of excuses, maybe you should start sending apology notes with your thank-you cards. Just a thought.
What are your thoughts on this season's Bridezilla? What about Karen?
