The Most Expensive Celebrity Weddings Ever
Often, star studded celebrity weddings are as exclusive as red carpet events. Celebrity weddings are known to be some of the most extravagant and exclusive parties around, with over the top decor, venues, dresses, and guest lists.

Usually, celebrities are marrying one another and their guest lists are filled with celebrity friends, so of course, they are wanting to impress everyone in attendance. Celebrity weddings from Los Angeles to New York City and beyond have spared no expense with the most expensive celebrity weddings being upwards of $30 million dollars or more.

How to Plan a Same Sex Wedding
When planning a same sex wedding, it's inevitable that your big day is going to veer away from the traditional wedding style in many ways. Traditional wedding ceremonies have a religious structure, and in many churches, gay couples are not accepted. Of course, in today’s society, we know that newlyweds are not always strictly man and woman. We have an understanding that marriage equality should allow all couples to marry regardless of gender, because love is love. Regardless of whether you hold a traditional wedding or not, having your family and friends present is what will legitimize your marriage and make your big day special. Therefore, when you plan a same sex wedding, it may be unique, but it will definitely be special, regardless of tradition.

Things Your Wedding Planner Won't Tell You
Remember Bridezillas? It was a show that was all about brides who had out of control demands, threw fits, and occasionally would get left at the altar after being totally awful to all their loved ones. That show is a favorite of mine, but mostly because it's one of those "train wreck in slow motion" type deals.

The Fear of Putting a Ring on It
I've been with my boyfriend for almost six years now. While we have had our ups and downs in the beginning stages of the relationship, I like to think we are far stronger than ever before. Most people who have met us usually say the same thing. They also, after finding out how long we have been together, are shocked that we have not tied the knot already. Usually, I bypass this comment by mentioning how young we are, how we have a lot on our plate with moving, and how it just isn't the right time for us.
