Disney-inspired wedding gowns

Thanks to Kirstie Kelly, every bride can emulate the Disney Princess she grew up worshiping. From the adventurous and elegant Snow White to the vibrant and impulsive Ariel, bring out your strongest suit.

Some samples...

Ariel:


Belle:

World's most expensive engagement ring...


...rests on the fourth phalange of Melania Trump. The 12 carat emerald-cut diamond ring is valued at somewhere between $480,000, according to Diamond Cutters International, and $2 million, according to the tabloids.

I wish I may, I wish I might.

Naming a star in a distant galaxy for your loved one has gained popularity over the years and is the perfect way to tell your new spouse how they mean the world to you... literally. Register using the Ultimate package at the International Star Registry and you will receive a personalized star chart in a 20" X 16" frame and a match wallet card imprinted with the star name and coordinates. Pick any star name of your choice, but observe the following caveats:

* You may enter up to 35 characters
* ALL UPPER CASE does NOT look good on certificates
* Star names are screened for profanity or inappropriateness (star names are published in our book)

Just keep in mind that you are paying $139 (plus shipping and handling) to name a star; as the ISR will grudgingly admit on it's FAQ page, you don't own the star and the scientific community will not recognize your star name. But you will have that nifty plaque.

Make your wedding a video game adventure

If only life were a video game. Now at least your wedding can be.



If you don't have any video game designer friends, I'm certain you could bribe Greggman into making a special video game just for you and your beau.

Bridal Bling

This is the world's most expensive wedding dress:

It was designed by Renée Strauss in Beverly Hills, who worked together with Martin Katz Jewelers to create this silky gown that is lined with thousands of diamonds.

It costs appoximately $12 million.

Worse than a kidney stone.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend, but what about her stomach's?


Last October, this diamond-frosted delicacy was named the world's most expensive wedding cake. It was created on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills exclusively for the Luxury Brands Bridal Show and is valued at $20 million. The cake was not edible.
