However, for most couples, figuring out how to get themselves, their wedding party, and sometimes their guests from point A to B is high on their list of planning priorities. If you want to travel in style on your wedding day, consider some of the following alternatives to the traditional limousine:

10 Most Famous Las Vegas Weddings

Everyone knows that the fantasy get-away city of Las Vegas has a reputation for crazy nights, big money wins (and losses), and of course, “while you wait” wedding chapels. As has been the comedic punch line to many a television show and romantic movie, Las Vegas weddings are synonymous with a few too many drinks and extremely impaired judgment. The legend of the “Vegas Wedding” is not just a Hollywood exaggeration or a figure of speech however; in fact many people have lived through the awkward terror that inevitably follows such a night. Celebrities, in all their wisdom, have succumbed to this judgment-trap with surprising frequency. Below is a list of the top ten celebrity Vegas wedding nights.

There are few brides that enter a marriage without some concerns about their new husband’s mother. The dreaded mother-in-law stigma is all too common but there are a few simple things you can avoid that will save you from repeat mother/daughter zingers that we all experience from time to time (some of us more than others!). Although these exercises started off as a tongue-in-cheek coping mechanism, once I began putting a few of these strategies into practice, I noticed that my mother-in-law’s attitude started to shift (as did my own) and a true friendship began to form. Now remember this will not happen over night. Changing the cycle takes time and effort. The bottom line is while you’re correcting these mistakes, really and truly try to learn to appreciate your mother-in-law and she will learn to appreciate you.
