Superstitious much? Turns out a lot of people are.
On Saturday, tens of thousands of superstitious couples, including actress Eve Longoria and San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker, will be tying the knot in what may go down as the most popular wedding date in U.S. history: 7-7-07. Apparently these starry-eyed couples figure that even if they are lucky in love, why pass up the chance for some extra insurance?
So, if you’re going to a wedding on Saturday, get the couple something lucky. But read the article. Otherwise you’ll be spending the whole day looking for a 4-leaf clover and miss the nuptials.

Work hard, take risks, maybe build your own business. That's the traditional route to financial success. Of course, there's another highly traditional path to acquiring wealth that isn't talked about quite as much these days: Marry money.Real money. As in not a mere millionaire (a dime a dozen these days) but an honest-to-goodness billionaire - make that 10 figures after the dollar sign, please.
True, it's not politically correct to go hunting for a marital meal ticket (or for that matter, to write about it). But just for a moment imagine the life that could be yours if you did.
Read the article. And then answer me this: Whatever the Heloise happened to love?
How to meet and marry a billionaire [Today | Money Magazine]
That’s a loaded question whose answer depends on a huge number of variables.
How much do people usually spend on wedding gifts for a close friend? I am in her bridal party and will be bringing a guest. I'd like to give her something nice without going overboard since I'll already be spending a lot as a bridesmaid. About how much should I spend?
Of course, everyone has an opinion, and as of right now, there are 100 answers.
The asker chose this as the best answer:
When I was the maid of honor (with a guest), I spent $300 (check). When I am just a guest, I usually spend $100 for just me or $200 for both of us. But, I think $200 is sufficient for you and a guest.I know it's a lot, but you know it's going to be expensive when you accept being a bridesmaid and you shouldn't scrimp on her gift just because it's been expensive!
Just remember, she'll do it for you one day!
But the other 99 answers are interesting as well.
How much do people usually spend on wedding gifts for a close friend? [Yahoo! Answers]
I guess this is why there’s a gazillion different flavors of ice cream: because everyone’s into something different.
Check it:
Couple engaged on zero-gravity flight.
"I asked if she'd marry me, and then the ring just floated in front of her as we floated in zero gravity," he said. She said yes. The trip cost $3,500 each and was organized by Space Adventures of Virginia.
Drunk groom’s brother takes his place.
Villagers at a wedding in eastern India decided the groom had arrived too drunk to get married, and so the bride married the groom's more sober brother instead, police said Monday.
I thought the zero-gravity proposal was weird until I read about the brotherly love. But whatever floats your boat.

Did you ever see the movie The Wedding Crashers? Me too. And me neither. Both? Yeah. I wanted to watch it. I even wanted to like it. But part way through, I couldn’t do it. I don’t know why. My husband liked it, though. I may have been PMSing.
This coming Monday -- April 23 -- at 10pm is the premiere of NBC’s new reality show: The Real Wedding Crashers. I want to watch it. I even want to like it. But my husband won’t watch it. He’s morally against reality TV, even though he secretly enjoys American Idol.
On The Real Wedding Crashers, which is produced by actor and Punk'd creator Ashton Kutcher, improv comedy performers will team up with wedding couples who want to punk their guests. According to an NBC press release, the crashers will "take on outrageous characters and personalities to pull off some fun and outlandish pranks" during wedding weekends the guests will never forget.
Hmmmm. I do like Ashton Kutcher. And I did like Punk'd. Well... We live in a big house. With 4 televisions in it. I might just give this a try. And I bet you a dollar that my husband will find me, complain about what I’m watching, but secretly love it.

Aha! You thought that they exchanged their I Dos via text message, didn’t you? No, that would be silly. They MET via text message. Then they got married.
Say what? you ask.
A British man has met and married a 22-year-old woman after, by his own account, dreaming of her phone number and then sending her a text message.
O. Kay!
After a long courtship, the oddly matched couple -- he's six foot seven inches tall and she's five foot four -- have just returned from their honeymoon in the Indian resort of Goa.
Yes. Their height is why they’re oddly-matched. The fact that David Brown, 24, met his wife via a random text message -- and Michelle Kitson, 22, became his willing partner -- doesn’t make them odd at all.
The gift I’m giving them: Congrats U 2. [Sent via Treo.]

From the shortest girl in the world, congratulations!
Bao Xishun, a 2.36 meter tall (7 foot 9 inch) herdsman from Inner Mongolia, married saleswoman Xia Shujian, who was 1.68 meters (5 feet 6 inches) tall, several days ago, the Beijing New reported.
Bao’s wife, Xia, is half is age and two-thirds his height. But I bet she has twice as many stepstools as the average gal.
The gift I’m giving them: A pair of these. No, they’re not for Xia. She has the stools. They’re for him, in case he needs to catch a plane. Get it???
After searching high and low, world's tallest man marries [The Hindu News]
Since celebrity engagements and marriages are stalled -- divorce is big though (Wynonna Judd being the latest on that ride) -- I thought it would be refreshing to talk about those who are already married and renewing their vows.
Today, more couples are celebrating -- and strengthening -- their marriages with a second round of "I do." Here, four couples reveal why they chose to renew their wedding vows.
Jennifer and Patrick’s story gave me goosebumps. It’s nice to see people in love; it’s even nicer seeing people realizing it.
Hopefully Wynonna will meet someone else soon. Someone who she’ll marry. Twice.

For everyone who is curious what Kari Ann Peniche looks like, the poor girl that Aaron Carter proposed to and then said “Uhhh, maybe I’m too young to get married,” here you go.
She’s here.
And here.
And here.
And even here. This is where Aaron proposed.
Funny that she’s not crying in any of the pictures, huh?
Labor Day is right around the corner and, ironically, I’m swamped with labor. So I’m going to take a mini-vacation (if you can call work a vacation) from this blog until after Labor Day. At that time, I’ll be refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to rock again. Right now, I just feel slammed with work. That said, if something big happens while I’m on hiatus (like if one of the Olsen twins gets engaged, or Jessica gets back together with Nick), I’ll drop my work like a hot potato and let you know.
Stay with me, folks. I’ll be back next week (Tuesday, or Wednesday at the latest). Or sooner if a Suri Cruise picture gets passed around!
Nobody got married today. Nobody even got engaged today. And as for birthing, it’s just too hot!
So I’m going on a mini-vacation. A long weekend. A three-day (or maybe four days if I feel really naughty) stretch of relaxation.
And when I got back, SOMEONE BETTER BE ENGAGED!
This is no GAME and the couples involved are OUT of the closet. The first World Outgames in Montreal is the perfect setting for homosexual couples to take advantage of Quebec’s allowance for gay marriages.
At least three couples who are coming to Montreal for the Outgames are planning on getting married during their trip.
I think it’s nice. Live and let live, I say. To each his own (or her own). Que sera, sera. Really… enjoy!
As an aside, it's too bad that Oprah's not gay. She and Gayle could get married in Montreal. Oh well.
The gift I’m giving all the couples who get married during their Outgames visit: In case of thunderstorms, rainbows over Montreal just like this.

Marriage by the Numbers [Newsweek]
Oh, sure. You THNK that being engaged is like being on cloud nine. Just wait until you start freaking out …and you will. But don’t despair. If I got through it, so will you.
In “Emotionally Engaged,” psychotherapist Allison Moir-Smith, founder of Emotionally Engaged Counseling for Brides, shares her three-stage process from her workshops and individual therapy sessions, offering insight, guidance, tips, and techniques for becoming an emotionally engaged bride — and wife.In this book, whose tag line is A Bride’s Guide to Surviving the “Happiest” Time of Her Life, you’ll be walked through ways to deal with your conflicting feelings. Like therapy on paper. Good stuff.
My gift to you: The knowledge that this book exists. Get to it.

I guess he was lucky number 13 and that our planets were aligned, but the similar name theory doesn’t jive. Oh well, I married him anyway.
This article explains how, why, and when people fall in love. Not just fall in lust. Fall in the bigger L. L-O-V-E. The abyss of bliss, as I like to call it. Yeah, I’m a poet.
These clues were “discovered” by scientists. Not Scientologists. SCIENTISTS. So it must be true. And it’s on the Internet, so it’s definitely the gospel. Yeah.

A few things:
1. Nobody got engaged. Harumph. But Britney Spears is still married to Kevin Federline. Badumdum.
2. Angelina Jolie still didn’t give birth.
3. Old Spice Girl Geri Halliwell had a baby girl and banned the tiny tot’s father. Thanks for knowing all Perezzle.
4. My father turned 65. The gift that I got him: This. He’s still a kid.
I guess if you don’t know it, you’re not clapping. But are you clapping even if you do know it? Or if you just think it? Are you EVER clapping? I mean, do you walk around the grocery store clapping because you’re a happy couple?

Isn’t it romantic, all that talk about assets and debts and pre-nups? Oh yeah, nothing like it to get you and snuggle-bunny in the mood. Well, it might get you into A mood if you don’t agree with your pookie-bear’s way of managing the moolah.
In their rush down the aisle, couples often think that love will overcome any disagreements about saving and spending. It doesn't. And so even among the most compatible couples, the prewedding vow of personal-finance silence eventually leads to frustration, fights and power struggles.I’m not suggesting that these “Nine questions partners should ask each other before getting married” become deal-breakers (i.e. if he doesn’t have the “right” answer to question 7 then I’m kicking him to the curb), but they are good topics to discuss before you’re married. Just to make sure you’re on the same page …of the bank statement.
The gift that I’m getting you if you have this discussion: His and hers necklaces. So NOT a waste of money!

Maybe perfect is not the right word. And maybe he shouldn’t be boasting about doing what every woman does without needing the kudos. But. Still. He’s DOING these things. And that counts for a lot.
Collect laundry and start the first of what will be four loads. This isn't yet a daily thing. I'm hoping that if we expand the brood, it won't quite get to daily.This is Jon. Heather’s husband. If you’re not familiar with them, then you’ve never read Dooce. And you should be ashamed. But anyway.
Make the bed.
Fold laundry from the dryer. It's been in the dryer for a couple of days, I think.
Put folded laundry away.
Regardless of Jon’s bragging, Heather’s said this about him. Which makes their marriage damn near perfect. Well, from a reader’s perspective.
The gift I’m giving them: Nothing except my congratulations. They’ve got it all already.

Very interesting article in New York magazine, titled The New Monogamy. According to this article, if you, as a couple, agree to cheating, it will stop the craving to cheat even more.
Whether it’s fantasy (I’m allowed to sleep with Andy Garcia if we should happen to meet and fall in lust) or reality (every Thursday night is boys night, and I’m the girl …and you’re not invited), I liken it to a diet where you’re allowed a spoonful of ice cream every night so that you don’t feel deprived and at risk of eating the whole gallon. Just a taste and you’re satisfied, right?
Mike (42, writer) and Jessica (31, graphic designer) just celebrated their fourth anniversary. “When we first started dating, we talked about monogamy and how it seemed to create more problems than it solved,” says Mike. “So we decided we’d be open to new things, so long as we told each other everything and never did anything for the sake of the experience—we would only have sex when we were actually turned on.”I guess I’ll talk to my honey about this in case I run into Andy today at the Piggly Wiggly. Uhhh, but that would mean that if he runs into Natalie Portman, he could…. Never mind. Situation averted by not even bringing it up!

I know that you’re busy planning your wedding, going for dress fittings, trying to lose weight to fit into aforementioned dress, arguing with your fiancé that fine china is more important than a big-screen TV, and keeping your mother and mother-in-law on friendly terms. But you also need some time to relax. So pick up this book, ‘Marrying Up’ by Montrealer Jackie Rose. It’s relevant to marriage, so you have no need to feel guilty.
Obituary writer Holly Hastings follows her psychiatrist's mandate by writing a sample obituary for herself and is horrified to discover that she envisions herself growing old in her current job and dying alone, nary a cat in sight. Disillusioned with single life in Buffalo, New York, Holly decides the solution to her problems is to find herself a rich man. She drags her best girlfriend, George, to Moneyed Mates, where they hope to meet the city's richest. When Buffalo turns out to be a fairly dry well, Holly insists she and George jet off to Naples, Florida, where supposedly many a rich man resides. Naples is a bust, but Holly isn't ready to give up yet: she quits her job and relocates to San Francisco, with George in tow. And though she meets wealthy men there, she also finds herself drawn to her unemployed, sexy landlord-cum-neighbor. [Booklist | American Library Association]Treat yourself to a good read, and to the knowledge that you’ve already found your man.

That’s right. It’s not all roses. Sometimes it sucks. But in the grand scheme of things, the good outweighs the bad. But fair’s fair, and it’s advantageous to see the bad so that you can better appreciate the good.

Tomorrow: The Top 10 CRAPPY Things About Being Married.
White dress, white shoes, white veil, white flowers, white teeth. Mix ‘em all together and you’ve got a bride. Yeah, yeah, you might THINK that you have white teeth, but if you’re a smoker or coffee drinker, you’re wrong. And even if you’re not either of those two things, chances are that your teeth are not the whitest they could be. And, no, I’m not talking about that episode from Friends where Ross had those glow in the dark white teeth. Teeth whitening has progressed.
From whitening toothpaste to paint-on gels, nighttime strips to dental floss, many over-the-counter treatments work well, but all are slow to produce results. Note, however, that experts claim at-home treatments will be most effective after a thorough dental cleaning to remove the plaque buildup that may impede effects. But for those that desire instant dental gratification or have a tougher tooth problem to tackle, [there are] professional treatments [that] can produce immediate results.I’ll admit that I’m addicted to teeth whitening products. About five years ago, I got the made-to-fit-my-mouth dental tray and gel stuff from my dentist for $500, but when I was tired of spending $50 a pop for the gel refills, I got Crest’s Night Effects which, for about $30, worked just as well. And it’s lasted for over 6 months now, so I don’t even have to do it again before my wedding. I’m smiling white about that too!

Ever have to make a toast at a wedding? Hopefully it wasn’t an impromptu request (“Hey, Ernie, stand up and say a few words!”) and you had enough time to get your thoughts together, write them down, and feel confident that you’re saying the appropriate words. Well, in this case, you’d think a plane ride would be enough time, but evidently not.
And I realized that what I really want to talk about this afternoon is jury duty. Now, I don’t know how many of you have ever served on a jury, but it’s a fascinating process. I was just on a jury last year for the first time in my life, and I learned a lot about myself and about the legal system. It was a pretty serious case, too. It was actually a murder trial. It was very tragic. It was this old man who got killed, very sad. He was getting money out of an ATM machine in the middle of the day, and some gang kids came up and robbed him and shot him right in the face.All’s well that ended well, but this is not the sort of verbal diarrhea (or brain fart) that you want to hear at your wedding. Not that it’s in your control. And a lot of people say a lot of awful things in toasts (they think they’re joking, but…) so just smile. Smack ‘em later.

Not yours -- your single friends’ blues. Yay! I mean, awwwwwwwww. Yes, we, the brides, are the center of attention, but let’s take a moment (just a moment) to think about our single friends. This is a tough time for them -- they’re losing one of their own.
According to industry research, there are approximately 2.4 million weddings each year. When you're single, you know what that means: a never-ending siege of nuptial nonsense that you are required to:Pass this on to your single girlfriends. And give them (non-condescending) hugs. And tell them that if they skip out of your wedding early, the poop’s gonna hit the fan.
1. Attend (on your own).
2. Buy a dress for (on your own).
3. Buy an expensive gift for (on your own).
4. Navigate toasts, intrusive questioning by well-meaning relatives and friends, and bouquet-tossing silliness -- on your own.

Leave it to Red Envelope to come up with this very clever wedding gift. I know, I know, you’re the one GETTING the gifts, not GIVING them. But, what’s to stop you from showing it to a friend, huh? Hint, hint.
What began as an Old English rhyme has since become one of our most beloved wedding traditions. Tucked inside a large blue box are four individual boxes tied with ribbon. Each box contains a gift that plays on the "old, new, borrowed, blue" theme: "old"-fashioned lock and key keychains, a silver-plated frame engraved with "new beginnings," a scroll containing "borrowed" words of marriage wisdom and a "blue" address book (to replace their little black books). Arrives with a story about the gift.This is an especially great gift to receive because even if your future mother-in-law is looking blue, you still can’t wear her.
The box is 10" x 10" x 2" high, and $75. I’d love to get one of these. Hint, hint again.

Movies can make me cry, albeit rarely, but books never do. Until this one. “The Notebook” by Nicholas Sparks is a genuine tearjerker. If you’ve ever read anything by Nicholas Sparks, you’ll wonder why I’m talking about “The Notebook” instead of the sequel “The Wedding.” Because. This is such a beautiful love story, it will bring you to serious tears.
A love story, written in both first and third person narrative, in two different time periods, that tells the story of Noah and Allie; how they fell in love in the 1940s, and how they fall in love again in the 1990s, when Allie is suffering from Alzheimer's and no longer remembers him.Unplug the phones, get comfy, and have tissues handy.

There’s nothing like good luggage. Really. I learned this the hard way, seeing my weekend bag on the conveyor belt at Vancouver’s airport, looking like it had been to hell and back. I was embarrassed, and vowed to treat myself to the good stuff when I got home. I just hoped that my bag would make it back in one piece.
My shredded bag and I are home. I do my research and discover Kipling. Everyone else knows about Kipling but, as always, I’m the last to know. Their collection of bags is fantastic, and I’m told that the quality is equally terrific.
A fusion between function and fashion, design and duty. But what each bag becomes depends solely on the person who buys it. On what they take with them. And where they take it. Because freedom of movement is nothing without freedom of choice.I just took my first trip with my first Kipling. We had a great time and, after traveling over 5000 miles, we both look good as new!

Statistics Canada says people who do not plan to marry generally have lower incomes and are less likely to have a university degree.Kinda like winning the lottery twice, huh? Once for saying yes to your guy, and again for staying out of the poorhouse.

Alright, so it might not be the wedding song for your first dance, but it’s a great song nonetheless. I’ve been listening to it -- and the rest of the self-titled album “Matt Mays & El Torpedo” -- while breaking in my wedding shoes, pretending to listen to my mother drone on about wedding details, and performing various other around-the-house wedding-planning duties. Tagged as ‘Alternative-Country’ (which is soooo NOT my typical listening genre), this album plain-out rocks. And it’s a great driving song when you just need to get away from it all. This all-Canadian band is on tour through the summer, but if you don’t have time to see them in person (uh, you have a wedding to plan?), do yourself a favour and pick up their album. (I’d attach an .mp3, but I have a funny feeling that that’s not legal in this-here parts.)
Matt Mays & El Torpedo [Matt Mays]
Hey, sister, yours aren’t the only frozen tootsies out there. I’ve got ‘em too. You thought only guys got cold feet also? No, no, no. Women clean, cook, give birth, AND get cold feet too. (Not necessarily in that order.) I didn’t want to talk to anyone about my fears, lest they think I was nuts. Evidently, I wasn’t.
The anxiety you are experiencing is very typical. In fact, it seems that the majority of engaged people go through the jitters, especially in the last few weeks before the wedding. Undoubtedly, during the last few months you and your fiance have been under a great deal of stress.I read dozens of articles on the topic. They all said the same thing, and it turns out I’m normal. (Go figah!) So, I’m not gonna sweat it, and neither should you. If you need to (I did), write a list of the good things, the reasons why you DO want to marry your guy. And write a list of the things that are driving you craaaazy. You’ll see, like I did, that the good list is longer -- or stronger -- than the bad one. Then take a nice, long, relaxing bubble bath. Everything is fine …and normal.
Cold Feet [Aish]
Serious moment. Just for a moment. And then we’ll get back to the funner stuff in life. It turns out that we have polygamists in our country, and their women/wives are defending them. Sheesh.
Stung by harsh criticism in the past year, the women of a polygamous town in British Columbia opened their doors to TV cameras Tuesday. The women, some of them teen brides, defended their community and say they aren't being abused.I find this disturbing on so many levels: (1) That polygamy is going on in Canada, (2) That anyone would want to have more than one spouse, and (3) That some of these “brides” aren’t even old enough to babysit as far as I’m concerned, but they have their own children.
One of [the leader’s] wives, Zelpha, perceives the lifestyle with an attitude not uncommon to the community. "I have lots of companions," she says. "I have lots of friends, and lots of children. There's never a dull moment."I bet there’s not! This is awful.
Women of Bountiful defend polygamous lifestyle [Sympatico MSN News]
Last night was an emotional night. I had stuffed invitation envelopes until I couldn’t take it anymore, and my life was about to change -- I was really getting married! I got into bed, exhausted, but wanting to finish the last few pages of the book that I was reading: Reading Lolita In Tehran by Azar Nafisi.
On the last few pages, I found two paragraphs that, although not related to getting married, made me feel like I walked into a twilight zone. Although the context wasn’t the same, the author felt like I felt: I’m going to a new place, a new life, and the life that I know now is going to change. Hang on, I’m not saying this in a bad way. It’s just an emotional change.
Caveat: I didn’t love this book. The reviews were fantastic, but I found it a hard read. Maybe because my mind was on other things. Like GETTING MARRIED!
You get a strange feeling when you're about to leave a place, like you'll not only miss the people you love but you'll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you'll never be this way ever again.
That day when I left, the sun was fading and the air was mild, the trees a verdant green, and I had many reasons to feel sad. Every object and every face had lost its tangibleness and appeared like a cherished memory: my parents, friends, students, this street, those trees, the withdrawing light from the mountain in the mirror. But I was vaguely elated and, to paraphrase Muriel Spark's heroine in her wonderful novel 'Loitering with Intent,' I went about my way rejoicing, thinking how wonderful it is to be a woman and a writer at the end of the twentieth century.Don’t cry. I did that enough for all of us. We’re going to a wonderful place, ladies. We’re going to married life with the guy that we love.
