Welcome, friends, to the circus of wedding horrors — a carnival of terror more horrifying than anything you could imagine. To your left, a row of hideous knockoff dresses from Asia; to your right, the room of unfortunate proposals; and to the center, well, this is our crown jewel — a photo of the exact moment this…
Lady Gaga is betrothed to symmetrical hottie Taylor Kinney aka the only reason some here at Jezebel watch Chicago Fire. Hearts are burning and breaking across the world and our table of laptops.
Sadly, every creative marriage proposal idea has already been taken, so if you're planning to propose to your partner anytime soon, you have two choices: Either ask them the old-fashioned way or plan an elaborate three-week kidnapping which you hope will convince them of your love. Just...don't do the second one.

Seems there's a vacation package for everything these days. Honeymoons, babymoons, anniversary trips, even an opportunity to live out Pretty Woman. And now, add divorce to the long list of themes for weekend getaways. Well, this weekend IS Valentine's Day!
Sometimes relationships end quickly for obvious reasons: Too much fighting. Or maybe he likes the band MAGIC! But when all goes well, have you ever noticed a recurring length for your relationships? Have you ever considered imposing one? Singer and actress Jill Scott did, and it's six months. Let's discuss.

It isn't every day that a story comes back full circle to spite its haters directly, but such is the case for the proudly picky Amanda Lauren, who, back in 2013, incurred 'Net wrath by admitting that, in search of The One, she'd gone on too many dates to keep track. That search has ended: Bitch is engaged!
It's an oft-given piece of marital advice that you should marry your bestie, and new research claims doing so doubles the union's benefits. Still, many people think best friends and marriage go together like two people who aren't going to do it that much.

Aric and Ashley Mercado have been together for 11 years, engaged for nine and unable to marry for the past seven years because Aric is battling Non-Hodgkins lymphoma. According to PennLive, the disease has always gotten in the way. But they'd promised their kids they'd get married and they did, earlier this week in…

For many, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (or JGL as us cool kids refer to him as) is the epitome of dreamboat. Smart, erudite, classically handsome yet approachable-looking. And now married. Very, very married. Sorry your 2015 had to start like this.

This has just been a year of bad news, hasn't it? Adding to the pile of shitty things that probably happened but are actually pretty minor in the grand scheme of things is the fact that Charlize Theron has allegedly said yes to a proposal from noted awful person Sean Penn.
What do you do when, a week before the wedding, your fiance calls you and says "just realized I don't love you. LOL SORRY!"? Some people might throw themselves a well-deserved pity party. Shelby Swinke, however, was all "fuck that noise" and destroyed her dress in a joyous photo shoot. Hashtag girl power. (Sorry, I…

Money can't buy love, the saying goes, but it certainly improves your bargaining position. That has never been truer thanks to rapidly accelerating economic inequality. Say it with me: Swoon.

A California couple who had just taken their vows on Saturday were robbed right in front of god and everyone while taking photos in front of their old high school. In broad daylight and "in front of the flower girls."

Important tip for the brides-to-be out there: Be very careful whom you invite to your wedding, lest the president hijack your ceremony to deliver a lecture about the evils of birth control, like Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan did on Sunday.

Choreographed dancing groomsmen at weddings are becoming like the chocolate fountain. Since everyone has one you kind of have to have an obligatory one, even you're not really 100 percent sold on the idea. But these groomsmen have created the best obligatory groomsmen dance ever and should rightly be hailed as Wedding…
If you and your friends got married in the 2000s, and trends stay where they appear to be headed, two-thirds of you lovebirds will stay married. Forever, like you intended, even though that statistic about 50 percent of marriages ending in divorce was likely stuck in the back of your mind. It turns out that, though…

Because there are only so many ways you can reinterpret the basic white ballgown and we've tried 'em all in the three decades since Princess Di got married, short dresses are becoming the latest and greatest wedding trend. My God, it's a historic first! A wedding trend that actually saves you time, money and energy!
I don't know if you know this, but there are actually women out there who spend a considerable amount of their downtime thinking about what their wedding will be like one day. But get this—some of them don't even have boyfriends yet. LOL, FREAKS.
