We just updated our Phoenix Wedding Guide with a new article about hiring the perfect wedding reception DJ in Arizona.
Phoenix has long been a rising star for musical magicians. With artists as varied as Stevie Nicks and Wayne Newton hailing from these parts, it’s no surprise that DJ’s flock to the bars and clubs scattered around the city. Like other non-show business towns, it serves as a hot spot for spinners on the rise. To find your perfect DJ, check out the full article for record-saving tips.
And if you're not planning a wedding in Phoenix, perhaps one of our other local wedding guides would be more useful for you: The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Miami, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Indianapolis, Houston, New York City, or the San Francisco Bay Area.
Your wedding reception will be fun and beautiful, but it will also be hectic. Friends and family will be pulling you in a hundred directions, all wanting to talk with and congratulate you, not to mention vendors and pictures, and...

Why does this make us feel so old?

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!

Considering a non-white wedding gown? Check out our new article about the "tradition of white" in bridal attire. We discuss everything from seasonal color choices to what to tell a resistant mom!
The white wedding dress goes back to Egyptian times, when it was believed that the color symbolized virginity and celebration. Since then, brides have gone from wearing colored dresses to Church clothing and, with Queen Victoria, back to white. The second-marriage “no-white” requirement is a fairly modern custom, and nowadays brides are free to wear whatever they feel most comfortable in.
We've been wondering about Penelope Cruz & Jarvier Bardem's engagement for a while, but while a friend of theirs confirmed it was true in early October, Penelope still won't discuss it.
In this clip from the David Letterman show last night, Penelope says, "I don't feel comfortable talking about my private life in public... I've been here a few times with you, you know I'm tough. One thing I don't do, I don't lie about my personal life... It's sacred to me. It's my life. But I don't give details about it because I am allergic to that."
She probably is engaged, and we'd love to hear her talk about it, but we also love that she keeps her personal life private. With so many what-are-they-famous-for? starlets running around sharing everything (we're looking at you, Khloe), it's nice to see such a talented, beautiful, classy woman keeping romance sacred.
On the other hand, if we snagged Jarvier Bardem we'd be shouting it from the rooftops!
