A Gallery of TVs Best Weddings

Sep26

Check out Entertainment Weekly's fun "wedding album." It's a collection images and rememberences of the small screen's most memorable nuptials.

From Luke & Laura to Charles & Di, we've seen a lot of memorable weddings on TV over the years, leading up to The Office's recent wedding fever...

But every list is begging to be criticized, and this is no exception: We would have loved to have seen any one of the flashbacks to Homer & Marge saying 'I do,' or that crazy Golden Girls episode where Sophia is serenaded at her wedding by Elvis impersonators (one of whom, a young Quentin Tarentino). Who do you think was snubbed on EW's list?

We just posted a new article about how to find your wedding cake baker in Los Angeles! It's the latest addition to our Los Angeles Wedding Guide.

If California is one fabulous cake, then Los Angeles is the decadent icing on top. Cool, hip, a feast for the senses, L.A. lays it on thick. Like everything else in this town, they also do it with style. Los Angeles wedding cakes can be cutting-knife rich or New Age organic, depending on your style. “Refined sugars have been replaced by natural ingredients,” says LA Chef David Brian Sanders. “Cake Bakers are using ingredients like apple sauce and yogurt and making cakes as aesthetically pleasing to look at as they are delicious to eat.”
