OMG SNUB: Obama Wasn't Invited To Chelsea's Wedding

Jessica Coen — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 09:47:00 EDT

"I think Hillary and Bill, properly, want to keep this thing for Chelsea and her soon-to-be husband," the president rationalized, looking calm despite the sting of embarrassment. "Y'all probably will not be getting invited to Sasha or Malia's wedding, either." More »

Lindsay Robertson — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 12:28:00 EDT

Look, we can all sympathize with the bride whose nuptials might be disrupted by the chaos that will be involved in Chelsea's wedding. But what was Chelsea supposed to do? Find a town with no other weddings happening that day? More »

Bride-To-Be Psychologically Tortured By Wedding Expo

Jenna Sauers — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 18:00:00 EDT

Weddings sucked up $42 billion last year. The average U.S. wedding cost $19,581. And that figure actually represents a decline: in 2007, before the recession, Americans spent nearly $29,000 on every single one of our 2 million-plus weddings. More »

The Daily Express points our attention to...

Maria — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 10:40:00 EDT

The Daily Express points our attention to a (supposed) new trend in nuptials: Groomzillas, or grooms who are obsessed with controlling and creating their perfect wedding. However, the requirements for a man to be labeled a "groomzilla" are as simple as a man picking out his own tux (an actual quote: "I initially had an idea of a beautiful crushed red velvet suit, then I found an amazing lavender-coloured designer one") and getting a fake tan before the big day. We think we smell a half-baked We network series in the works. [Daily Express] More »

Something Green

Sadie Stein — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 12:40:00 EDT

Those Botox-demanding bridezillas have spawned an inevitable nemesis: Mothra, the eco-bride. Said bride wants her silk ethically sourced, her silkworms humanely treated and her seamstresses fairly paid. Then, naturally, she recycles her gown. (It goes without saying that the buffet is totally locally-sourced.) This laudable trend is bolstered by a number of designers and companies who work in wild silk or an ethical hemp-silk blend and who, allegedly, actually make really nice-looking stuff. And we know you didn't like to ask, but, yeah, it'll cost you. But then, so would the Botox. [The Guardian] More »

Always A Bridesmaid; Always An Ugly Bridesmaid Dress

Jennifer — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 16:20:00 EDT

Are you neither black, nor Christian, nor a lover of animals? In other words: Have you not be able to participate in our "Past Fashion" posts? This may be your lucky day. Have you ever been looked in the eye by an otherwise loving friend or relative and been told to wear the same dress that nine other girls will also be wearing? The May installment of Past Fashion is all about your best-worst bridesmaids dresses. I have only been in one wedding, my cousin Amy's, and though the dress was "chocolate" (i.e. brown), it was nice enough. (That's me on the left.) But surely you've been subjected to worse forms of bridal torture. And we want evidence! Email your submissions to photos@jezebel.com with "Past Fashion: Bridesmaid Dresses" in the headline, and be sure to include all the gory details. Like the insane "color" of the dress (burnt tangerine! misty aubergine!) and tidbits about drunken groomsmen or bridezillas who made you cry. And don't forget your name (or username), location and date the photo was taken. We'll be accepting submissions until May 18 and want the absolute best of your bridal party worst. More »

Single Slut Crashes New York Weddings Showcase

Initially, when Anna and I decided to attend New York Magazine's Weddings Showcase, we figured it would be a great opportunity to make fun of all the maniacal brides-to-be, harried maids of honor and opinionated mothers looking for chic and modern ways to piss away $100K on a party celebrating a union that has less than a 50% chance of actually going the distance. But (not so) secretly, I loved it. That shit was open bar! And there were awesome hors d'oeuvres! And so much cake! And ice cream sandwiches on popsicles! And a kickass goodie bag! Now I want to get married! (Joke.) But seriously, for those looking to get drunk, stuff their faces and get a kickass goody bag, $25 is a small price to pay. After the jump, all the things we saw in the shuffling sea of brides wearing Tory Burch ballet flats. More »

Modern Brides Can Be Real Bulldozers

Anna Holmes — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 13:30:00 EST

Have you asked a man to marry you yet? Well so far, not very many of you say you'd do it. One woman who actually went through with it? Marina Maiuri, who appeared on the Today show this morning in post-proposal bliss with her intended, Sean Smith (Congrats, kids!). The segment was short but sweet, but the feature that followed — about the bevy of soon-to-be brides who line up for discounted wedding dresses at Filene's Basement — wasn't. Women (and a few men) stampeded over one another to get deals on gowns. One woman, unfortunately, fell on the way in. Clip above. More »

How Women's Television Is Just Like Sex And The City

Slate's TV columnist Troy Patterson parses the programming on the three women's television networks today, and, reading Patterson's descriptions of each lady network, I had to wonder: could the networks be categorized using the ultimate post-modern archetypes, Sex and the City characters? It is the Most Important Show of Our Time, after all. The answer I came up with?:Of course they can. More »

I Thee Dread: Soon-To-Be Bride Makes Herself Sick

Dodai Stewart — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 15:30:00 EDT

Today's Mirror prints a confession from a self-described Bridezilla named Kelly Doig. Like most overeager brides, she was completely obsessed. It all started when the hotel she booked "went bust" and she had to find a new location. "But that incident made me realize things don't always work out how you want them to," she says. "Two little horns sprouted out of my head and Bridezilla was born. After that, from the flowers to the cake, I had to know that everything was in hand." She started dreaming, night after night, that the wedding was a disaster. She snapped at her bridesmaids and lost weight from stress. And the day before her wedding, she had a huge seizure and landed in the hospital. She was released in time to make the nuptials, but she was "so dosed up" on medication she doesn't remember the ceremony clearly. More »

A Word To The Wise: If You're Still Dealing With The Aftermath Of High-School Hook-Ups, You Probably Shouldn't Be Getting Hitched

Jennifer — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 14:51:31 EDT

We'll say it again: God bless the message boards of TheKnot.com. If not for it, where would poor, tormented brides like "Mrowdy" have to go to work out their like reallyreallyreally big problems with a community of anonymous frenemies? See, "Mrowdy" is getting married and having, like, 20 gajillion attendants in her wedding and told her fiance he had to do the same to, y'know, keep the symmetry. Only then the fiance went and picked Mrowdy's BFF's ex to be his best man, a guy she also almost made out with once. (Whoops!) More »

They Shoot Wedding Guests, Don't They?

Jennifer — Wed, 30 May 2007 17:39:12 EDT

Poor bride-to-be Beth! The Knot.com habitue's fiance's best man's girlfriend is a lush. And not in a fun, endearing kinda way. Nope, the best man's best girl is one of those mean, assaultive, violent drunks... the one whose drinking is the least of her problems because you know she's totally also popping pills when no one's looking! Anyway, not sure what to do about this most unwanted guest, Beth turned to the anonymous sisterhood cesspool that is TheKnot's "Planning & Etiquette" message board. And what did her fellow almost-weds suggest she do with the unruly girlfriend? Corporal punishment, of course! More »

Not So Modest Proposals

Jennifer — Thu, 24 May 2007 13:30:47 EDT

Call us crazy, but we're pretty sure that there is nary a marriage-minded, straight dude out there trolling the editorial content of TheKnot.com in his spare time. Hence our confusion regarding the massive amount of space (not to mention time — we pity the poor intern who had to compile this list) given to the feature "100 Ways To Pop The Question." After the jump, some of TheKnot's not-so-modest proposals. More »

Romance Is Dead At Nicole Miller Bridal

Jennifer — Wed, 02 May 2007 17:34:08 EDT

When our very own Moe Tkacik headed to Nicole Miller Bridal to be fitted for a bridesmaid's dress for a wedding she's in this summer, we had to send overzealous fashion-worshipper Jenny Gerson along for the ride. A salesgirl with the best booty in the business was there, but the free champagne both women had hoped for was nowhere to be found. More photos and more on Moe and Jenny's adventures after the jump.
