Well, it's all over.

Apr 29th, 2011 at 10:30AM:
If you really want to "go local" on your next vacation, have you considered changing your religion? A new program in Turkey offers guests a chance to be Muslim for a month in order to foster cultural awareness. The term month is used loosely - guests can choose from nine- and twenty-one-day programs, including visits to some of Istanbul's most famous mosques, lessons on Islam and Sufism (famed ...Photo of the day - Stormtroopers in Las Vegas
Mar 24th, 2011 at 5:00PM:
Have you ever walked down the street and seen something amazing and cursed yourself for not having a camera? Lucky for us, Flickr user mciccone640 had his camera and shot today's Photo of the Day of couple of robots stormtroopers* in Las Vegas. I wonder if there was a convention in town or if the guys were just wearing costumes for luck in the casinos. Perhaps a theme wedding? Hope they had a ...Already sick of the Royal Wedding? There's a barf bag for that!
Feb 19th, 2011 at 10:00AM: I don't know about you, but I'm already sick of the royal wedding. Something about hard-drinking aristocrats getting married on television while the peasants gawp upsets just about every sense of justice and decorum I have.
It seems I'm not alone. British artist Lydia Leith has designed a Royal Wedding Sick Bag. The Brits are generally understated in their language, so they say "sick" instead ...A travel guide to the 2011 Oscar movies
Feb 2nd, 2011 at 4:00PM: The 83rd annual Academy Awards are coming up in a few weeks and the Oscars race is on. This year's nominations contained few surprises, with many nods for Brit period piece The King's Speech, Facebook biopic The Social Network, and headtrip Inception. While 2010's ultimate travel blockbuster Eat, Pray, Love failed to made the cut, there's still plenty to inspire wanderlust among the Best Picture ...Portuguese flight attendant says yes to inflight marriage proposal
Jan 19th, 2011 at 2:30PM:
Portuguese flight attendant Vera Silva got the inflight surprise of her life when her boyfriend picked up the P.A. microphone to propose to her. While Ms. Silva was busy preparing drinks in the back of the plane, her boyfriend told her that he was on board because he loves her, and because he wants to "ask her a question".
With the help of her fellow crew members and the pilot, the proposal ...

Dec 7th, 2010 at 12:30PM: Think you're being original when you plan your wedding at sea? Think again. What about getting married midair?

Oct 30th, 2010 at 11:30AM:
Indian officials are investigating complaints of noise pollution from the Aman-i-Khas hotel where Russel Brand and Katie Perry recently tied the knot. During their wedding reception, party noise exceeded the 45 decibel limit, and that means someone is in trouble.
An official for the Sawaimadhopur district already said that the newly weds will not be charged, but that hotel management is not ...Couple to wed at Halloween Horror Nights

The Vermont couple, who describe themselves as "lifelong fans of Halloween," will wed on the steps of a haunted house at Universal Orlando on Oct. 15.
April, a graphic designer, and Adam, a pharmacist, met six years ago and got ...Universal Orlando offering new wedding packages during Halloween Horror Nights

Jul 9th, 2010 at 10:00AM:
I'm getting married this fall, and I chose to have my wedding reception at a hotel. This is not because I'm a travel writer (and they have no idea that's what I do; I'm not getting any special treatment). The reason was actually that I'm getting married in my hometown of Minneapolis, but I live in New York and my fiance is from Cleveland, so between us, we have a lot of out-of-town guests ...Galley Gossip: 5 tips for traveling with a wedding dress
Jul 7th, 2010 at 9:30AM: From the moment my husband got down on one knee and proposed in the sand at sundown, I knew I wanted a destination wedding. When it came time to choose a wedding dress, I only considered styles that were sleek and simple. Basically I had to find something I could pack inside a suitcase since we had booked tickets on a regional carrier. Most of these airlines do not have closets or decent overhead ...From four-wheeling to cattle roping, saying 'I do' just got a little more adventurous
Jun 26th, 2010 at 10:00AM: Weddings were never my thing. Between the dress, the invitations, the cakes, the chaos - the concept is too overwhelming for me to digest. I've participated and planned dozens of weddings for my nearest and dearest and while I couldn't be happier for their nuptials, I'd be the first one barefoot on an island eloping without witness if I were to get married (sorry, Mom).
But for those who want a ...17 great destinations for romance
May 21st, 2010 at 3:30PM:

Whether you are searching for the perfect ...Daily Pampering: Renew your vows in Fiji this year

Dec 23rd, 2009 at 10:30AM: Cinnabon-tinged air. Mumbled overhead announcements. And a few hundred weary strangers by your side. Now that's romantic. But that's probably what Robyn Moore must've gotten when she arranged an impromptu wedding for her fiance, William Acosta, at the Corpus Christi International Airport. He arrived on his flight from Toledo, Ohio, wearing jeans and a sweater, and clutching his carry-on bags. ...In the Heart of Central America: Planning a wedding or honeymoon in Honduras
Dec 14th, 2009 at 9:00AM:
Imagine walking down a lush green aisle to a small open-air wooden structure where billowy white curtains frame a view of a valley spread below and blueish mountains in the distance. An intimate group of family and friends has gathered to watch you say your vows on this hilltop and after the ceremony, they'll join you to celebrate as the sun sets and the lights of the village beneath you and ...
