Fitting how it all ends in gin. Nice one, Good.

Meal Preference = Personality Test

2011-09-11T14:28:00.000-04:00

You can tell a lot by your guest's wedding meal preferences. For example, if your meal card reads:

"___Chicken or ___BADASS Lobster Motorcycle"

and they DON'T put an X next to the lobster, then you can be sure to seat them at the boring table with all the other lame chicken heads.

My Baby Is The Shit

Hilarious.

An Especially Soulful Monday Night

2011-05-23T17:53:00.001-04:00

Mmmm what a soulful love song! When the female voice comes in, its gonna add some hot water to you, then some cold water, then mix you up and put you in the fridge for 30 min then take you out and squish you between your teeth (i.e. turn you into some jello).

Groom's Shoes

2011-05-22T17:50:00.001-04:00

My super creative friends, Lily and Jordan, got married a couple years ago and Jordan made the dopest groomsmen gifts of all time: customized kicks. He bought a bunch of vans, then hand-painted them with inside jokes and random stuff for his friends. I think it turned out pretty awesome.

That's immediately what I thought of when I saw these bad boys:

Stylist, Robert Verdii asked Vans to make some custom ones for him out of some vintage Hermes scarves. The result? The dopest Vans I've ever seen.

Scenes from an (impending) marriage

2011-05-19T10:59:00.001-04:00

I'm diggin' these hilarious wedding planning themed comics! I literally was cracking up at every comic I read.

Adriane Tomine, author of the mini series, Optic Nerve in the Drawn and Quarterly recounts the funniest and most absurd obstacles in the wedding planning process in his new series of vignettes entitled "Scenes from an (impending) marriage".

It's gold, guys.

Bling Bling: Square Wedding Rings

2011-03-31T16:39:00.001-04:00

These are some badass wedding rings. I love how they are different but not crazy. I mean you are going to wear this ring on your finger all the time, so I'd rather not be constantly bombarded about it BUT I don't want a boring ring either.

This is the perfect compromise.

For Jeff and Lindsey's destination wedding in Mexico, they decided to include some useful phrases in their invitation including "Are you sure this is legal?" and "Where is the bar?"

Funny AND helpful.

Good job Jeff and Lindsey and Mr. Boodington's Studio.

The X Factor

2011-03-10T02:12:00.000-05:00

I kept watching this video over and over and I couldn't put my finger on what it was that made me like it so much. Was it the bride's awesome dress? The romantic song?The fact that I've never seen a MIL with such cool style?

Then, I finally realized what the X factor was. I have never seen a couple that looked that sincerely happy. It's pretty contagious.

Well done, Jason Magbanua.

Bad-assery

2011-03-08T01:06:00.001-05:00

How bad-ass are these pictures? I just discovered a new photographer from the west coast, James Moes, and his work totally knocks my socks off.

It reminds me of when I was in middle school and the girls would all huddle and talk about which boys they thought were cute and the guys would make sorry attempts at impressing them.

Also, props to the bride for her awesome hair, and sittin on the street in that dress. I think we'd be friends.

Comic Book Wedding Invitations

2011-03-05T12:22:00.000-05:00

This is what happens when cool comic creators get married. Mickey Duzyj, made a comic entitled, "The strangely comic beginnings of Mickey and Vanessa" as their invites. I dig it.

Wedding Advent Calendar

2011-03-01T22:36:00.001-05:00

Remember when you were a kid, and you would get so excited to open up your Christmas advent calendar to get those sweet little chocolates? Well, now that you're about to get married, it's time to upgrade to something a little more "mature". Every day, you get a new beer until you get married. It's almost romantic.

I know that many of us cool ladies like to pretend that we don't care about Valentine's Day, but let's face it, any day that celebrates love is a good day.

Somebody just got hit with an adorable stick!

Jo Kwon and Ga In are a Chinese couple that blog about their engagement and wedding. I guess they got kinda big, because their engagement photos and wedding were covered by the Korean InStyle.

A Faster Way To Try On Wedding Dresses

2011-01-21T08:30:00.001-05:00

Trying on dress after dress and going to store after store gets a little exhausting. This looks like a crazy fun way to go dress "shopping" with your friends. All you need is a projector, a computer, and some giggly friends.
