When I heard that reality tv star Khloe Kardashian was getting married on tv after a whirlwind courtship with Lamar Odum, I figured it was a publicity stunt that wouldn't draw much attention. But apparently I was wrong, as the 2-hour special last Sunday drew 3.2 million viewers for the E! Entertainment Network. Were you watching? If so, was it seeing her in her Vera Wang wedding dress, the romance of a wedding, or seeing all the celebrity guests that compelled you to watch?

It's every bride or groom's worst nightmare: learning that your loved one has cold feet and the wedding is off. But when Teanne Harris found herself stood up at the altar and then learned that she couldn't get her deposit back, she didn't just melt into a puddle of tears. Instead, she quickly turned a disastrous situation into a good deed for others.

By all accounts, Ivanka Trump's recent wedding to New York Observer owner Jared Kushner was elegant and lovely. Barbara Walters called the wedding, held at the Trump National Golf Course in New Jersey, "gorgeous" but "not glitzy". The 500 guests, who included many bold-faced names, watched the ceremony on the golf-course against a backdrop of colorful fall leaves before retiring to an Preston Bailey-designed reception dripping with white roses.

It was a tastefully traditional wedding. But then, why I am complaining about tackiness? Read more...

Recently, the feminist blogosphere has been all a-twitter over feminist writer Jessica Valenti's recent wedding. After it got a big glossy write-up in the New York Times Vows column, her wedding seems to have been fair game for criticism for everyone from Playboy to Salon.com. T Read more...

That's what Sandals resort is offering couples who book one of their new Martha Stewart theme weddings, which start at $1500. The legendary tastemaker Martha Stewart has worked with the resort to create five different wedding themes that have her stamp of approval and sense of design. Of course, Martha won't be there to individually style your wedding, although there's probably no harm in telling your coworkers that you're having a Martha Stewart wedding in the islands. If you're budget conscious, you might want to just get inspired by her magazine, as the price only covers some design elements and not essentials like photography, music, or dinner for your guests.

The Reverend Sun Myung Moon married tens of thousands of couples today, his largest mass wedding since 1999, and what many say will be the aging leader's last. Moon's followers in the Unification Church, colloquially called Moonies, believe getting married with thousands of other couples allows them to learn the church's teachings of true love and world peace. Though once all of the couples getting married were matched by Moon, and meeting each other for the first time, now some of the couples have met previously and allowed to date. Some outsiders believe the church is a dangerous cult. Last year, Reverend Moon chose his son Moon Hyung-jin to take over religious leadership of the church. full story

All anyone seemed to be talking about today was TV's The Office Wedding. Or more specifically, they were talking about Jim and Pam's bridal party dancing up the aisle in a spoof of the famous Youtube sensation of the past summer, JK Wedding Entrance Dance. But while the original real life couple planned to add this bit of fun and whimsy to their wedding, Jim and Pam's bridesmaids and groomsmen "surprised" them, much to their dismay. Right now, you can watch the clip on NBC. What do you think? Would you dance down the aisle at your wedding?

I've seen some pretty bad uninspired and unflattering wedding photography in my career. But the pics of Marc and Sylvia Day's big day really take the (wedding) cake. Not only did their wedding photographer commit all of the above mortal sins, but he also went far above and beyond. There are shots where people's (and animals') heads are simply cut out of the frame. A lovely shot of the bride in her horse-drawn carriage also perfectly frames the big ugly red van behind her. And there are out-of-focus, overexposed, and extremely random shots as well. In the worst of the bunch, overexposure causes the bride's arm to completely disappear, making her bouquet look like it's floating in space. But you'll never understand just how bad these photos are until you see for yourself.

The Days recently sued and won back part of the fee they paid as well as some damages, but they'll never have the beautiful wedding photography they wanted. Make sure this doesn't happen to you! Ask these questions of your wedding photographer before you sign any contracts or end up as a headless one-armed bride.

The recession claimed 4 more publishing world victims this morning, including two bridal magazines, as Conde Nast announced it would fold Modern Bride and Elegant Bride as well as Cookie and Gourmet. With so many different wedding planning websites and online message boards, it's not surprising that the print world is suffering. It makes me wonder - are you still buying bridal mags or are you relying solely on the internet? Personally, I love the convenience of online etiquette information and planning tools, but I do love the leisure of turning glossy pages of artful pictures, not to mention being able to rip out my favorite images and pin them above my desk. But what about you? Is there a future for the remaining bridal magazines?
