It's even more taxing when you're putting together a destination wedding (definitely not my favorite kind). The only thing that could make this experience worse is the emotional toll exacted by interfaith struggles. If you're dealing with this ...

Mar 4th, 2009 at 12:00PM: Any man should know better than to talk about women and weight ... especially when it comes to fitting into a wedding dress. But, this idea is interesting enough that I'm willing to risk my safety. Live in Fitness Enterprises has put together "The Bridal Retreat," which is not as innocuous as it sounds. If you're worried about looking good for your groom in a two-piece on the honeymoon or need to ...

Mar 3rd, 2009 at 9:00AM: It always sounds like it's going to be fun. Your friend is getting married somewhere exotic and has invited you to come along. What's not to love? Really, everything. Destination weddings are recipes for disaster. They are even worse when it's your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend or family member who has the connection. Quickly, you find yourself surrounded by people who don't interest you in an ...

This title is tongue-in-cheek. In fact, quite literally; my tongue has found itself being held down between my teeth many times in the "bite your tongue" fashion since my sister decided to get married a year ago, regularly finding itself wedged between my molars and only able to greet the inside of my cheek rather than be used to form words.

Jan 27th, 2007 at 12:08PM: I've never been in a rush to find a knight in shining armor to rescue me from my free-spirited ways of globe trekking to entrap me in a kitchen to cook salmon croquettes and rice pilaf, but this smiling bride on her wedding day and her absolutely contagious smile makes me think differently.

Sep 2nd, 2006 at 5:11PM: Looking at a photo like this one might imagine that the large group of villagers dressed in their everyday attire have come together to watch a wrestling match or two goats brutally head-butt each other, but in this case both guesses would be so wrong.
