Happy April Fool’s Day!

Whether you know or not, or whether you are prepared, the bridal party may play a practical joke on your wedding day.  The groom is typically the recipient of any wedding day jokes, but both the bride and groom should be prepared.  Here are some standard pranks:

Jacket Swap:  The groom goes to put on his jacket, and realizes it’s too small.

Secret Messages:  “Friends” may put “help me” or “kick me” messages on the bottom of your shoes or on the back of your jacket.

Long lost child:  When and if the marriage officiant asks “does anyone object to this marriage”, someone may send a mystery child down the aisle yelling “Daddy, Daddy!”

Key return:  The best man might ask all of the ladies who had keys to the grooms house to go and return their keys now that he is married.

Squeaky toy in bed:  It’s your wedding night, just think about it…

Obviously this doesn’t include all pranks, but keep on the look out- some people like to be the center of attention.   Good luck today, and on your wedding day!

Apples and marriage just don't go well together... hasn't all of human history taught us that?

Blech! Yuck! Ugg! Barf! Hurl! Ick! And whatever other noise I can make that will help me belt these poor lungs out of my body that just had to endure air tainted by the very idea of such an atrocity. Yes, we all know Apple fanboys. And yes, we all know people who would rather lose an arm than an iPhone. But when it comes to good wedding theme ideas, this is one wedding blogger that has to draw the line somewhere, and that line stops about 50 iMiles away from the nearest couple that could possible decide it’s a good idea to get married… MARRIED!… at an Apple store with an Apple themed wedding.

I don’t hate Mac people. I’m even a little jealous sometimes. In fact, I’m going to a wedding two weeks from now where the bride and groom are surely going to incorporate some form of iTasticness into their ceremony. But an entire wedding with an Apply theme? Puh-lease.

You can read the story that caused this outrage here… but it’s really not worth your time. Or the irreparable damage you’ll do to your wedding psyche. Just don’t say you weren’t warned.

Our biggest wedding expense is turning out to be food and beverage.  As Tennessean.com explains, this bride cut these expenses my having her wedding at White Castle, take a look here.

Happy Friday!  In case you didn’t catch this on MSN, here are ten wacky weddings… There are lots of ways to make your special day stand out without spending a lot of money.

…don’t pay for celebrity appearances!  The New York Daily News can give you more details here.

At least she found some wedding savings on the cost of her dress...

Since this post is probably going to make me sound like I hate the environment and all things Mother Nature, I want to start by emphasizing that I am a green-a-holic (if that’s even the right word). I sold my car years ago and use public transportation. I always bring recyclable grocery bags everywhere I go. And, when I was 11, I single-handedly converted every house on my entire street into recyclers. Sure there were only six houses, but for an 11-year-old with the attention span of a cockapoo, that’s pretty good, no?

But if there’s one “Green” trend I just can’t seem to get behind, it’s the idea of green weddings. Yes, I realize this might make me a horrible person. But I think I’ve decided I’m OK with that. They way I see it is that I spend every other day of my life doing my best to help protect the planet. So if I want one day to be about me, then I feel like Mother Nature should be able to cut me some slack. So yes, I want to have my wedding in some exotic place that forces all my guests to fly and then rent cars to get there.  And yes, I want to have an old Royals Royce drive me around instead of a Hybrid.  And yes, I’m going to send extra-thick invitations printed on sparkling white paper, even if that paper isn’t recycled (but my guests are welcome to recycle the invites after the wedding). In short, the day I get married is going to be entirely about me. My family knows that.  My future husband, wherever he is, knows that. And God knows that. So I’m pretty sure He took that into account when he created the earth however many years ago, and so He’s not going to be too mad at me when get a bit, how-shall-I-say… “less than carbon neutral.”

With that said, here’s an article about an eco-friendly wedding showcase. Maybe you’ll get something more out of it than I did…

Hello you fabulous people. I’m so excited since we are facing the last hours of this year. When the clock strikes twelve midnight, we’ll have a new exciting year. But as the saying goes, “It isn’t over till the fat lady sings!” So here is my last wedding blog for the year.

Today’s wedding blog is neither about how you can get wedding savings nor about how to have an inexpensive wedding. It is about luck. I have a video here where a groom, who decided to parade his bride by carrying her and marching along the road instead of riding in the bridal car, was lucky enough to avoid a horrific accident.

Click the video (from eBaum’s World) and be amazed at how lucky this couple was. I would have fainted if I was the bride being carried by the groom. Well, this has been your Wedding Diva saying, Have a Happy New Year everyone and enjoy planning your wedding! Toodles!

Today’s wedding blog about bizarre weddings is not actually about the wedding itself. I will link you to a site which listed the 10 Most Bizarre Wedding Rings.

Okay, the exchange of wedding rings is one of the most important parts of a wedding. And of course, you’d want it to be perfect and beautiful. That’s why diamond ring makers are raking in a lot of money. They make engagement rings, wedding rings, and even anniversary rings. In this business, the more sparkly, the better.

Now, you’re probably wondering why someone would ever want to wear these bizarre wedding rings on their special day. Don’t ask me. Honestly, I wouldn’t know their reason for that. The only thing I know is that it’s unique and it’s a great topic to feature. I also don’t know if you can actually have wedding savings on these wedding rings. Are they expensive or inexpensive wedding rings? I truly don’t know the answer to that.

My suggestion is to just click the link and enjoy checking out these weird looking rings. The owners of these rings must really have good reasons for choosing these kinds of wedding rings, or if they’re just totally eccentric. Anyway, to each his own. Who knows? Maybe you’ll find (hopefully, more mainstream) inspiration in these wacky ring designs. Enjoy planning your wedding and have a Happy New Year!

We have featured a lot of wedding blogs about bizarre weddings. You’ve seen gothic weddings, zombie weddings, and the like. This are the things most conservatives can’t comprehend doing.

Today, I will feature another bizarre wedding celebration. Well, maybe it’s bizarre or weird to us, but not to the people celebrating it. It’s part of their culture and to them it’s quite normal. What I am talking about here is the wedding between two frogs. A group of Indian people married these two amphibians (and since they’re Indians, this most probably was an arranged marriage) for them to have rain.

There’s really no known metreological explanation on how the union of two cold blooded amphibians can help in the change of weather. But this is what the Indians believe in and we just have to enjoy and be amazed in their weird festivities.
