Yes, I'm Engaged, Now Back Off
About a month or so ago, my boyfriend of 9 years decided to go all official on me and asked me to marry him. And thus began my weird life as an Officially Engaged Person.
The
Daily Express points our attention to a (supposed) 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…
Something Green
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…
Always A Bridesmaid; Always An Ugly Bridesmaid Dress
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…
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…
Modern Brides Can Be Real Bulldozers
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…
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…
I Thee Dread: Soon-To-Be Bride Makes Herself Sick
Today's Mirror prints a confession from a self-described Bridezilla named Kelly Doig. Like most overeager brides, she was completely obsessed.

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
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…
They Shoot Wedding Guests, Don't They?
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…
Not So Modest Proposals
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…
Romance Is Dead At Nicole Miller Bridal
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…
