Wedding gowns were traditionally white to represent the bride's innocence and purity.
Not so much anymore.

Since I'm so traditional, you probably won't be surprised to hear that I consider it bad luck for the bride and groom to see each other before the wedding ceremony. Of course some couples don't believe in that old-wives tale, and I'm sure those that do get a peek or even share a moment together before their walk down the aisle still live happily ever after. I'm just too superstitious to chance it.

According to a recent poll done by You & Your Wedding magazine, one in five ladies are so concerned about their bridesmaids letting them down on their wedding day that they would consider asking them to sign a "prenuptial agreement." In response to the magazine's survey, the Telegraph writes:
It found that respondents' biggest gripes were with bridesmaids who put on weight, became pregnant, or changed their hairstyles before the big day. A series of suggested clauses included that bridesmaids should not consume more than 10 units of alcohol, or make any advances towards "inappropriate male guests" — or the groom.
I don't know what I find more ridiculous about this, the fact that a bride would have the gall to present this to her bridesmaids or the idea that her bridesmaids might actually sign it. If I'm being unrealistic and such a contract is necessary, please tell me.
Dear Sugar and Bride-to-Be Betty need your help. Should she tell her fiance's mother to travel to the bridal shower her mother is planning or should she let her future mother-in-law plan her own?
Dear Sugar--
I am getting married next August and have been diligently planning the wedding. I have to say I'm pleased that everything has been going pretty smoothly and nobody has been too opinionated.
The other day I was talking to my mom about the bridal shower she is planning in the Spring.
Dear Sugar--
I recently was given the opportunity to explore other career options and have had lots of free time to focus on my fitness and nutrition. I've gotten really into it and set a goal of losing 15 pounds before my wedding date in November. I am 5'4" and when I started my routine/eating change I was 136.
Well, kinda. As reality would have it, the groom hurls the bride over his shoulders like a jumbo sack of potatoes while huffing and puffing his way up an endless flight of stairs and then "romantically" collapses a few steps short of the front door. Ah, the stuff that fairy tales are made of.
This bride has something to blush about beyond the fact that it's her wedding day-- perhaps it's whatever is floating in that wine she just sipped from. Eww. Meanwhile, the groom is rethinking the big kiss they're to share at the end of the ceremony.
Dear Sugar--
I feel as though two of my bridesmaids gave me a lot of stress through everything leading up to my wedding. They didn't help with anything like the shower or bachelorette party. Everything that was expected from them (buying the dress, shoes, and getting their hair done) was a huge hassle for them, and they were constantly stressing me out over it and complaining about the price.
As promised, we are back again with more Wedding Season fun. A few weeks ago was all about the Engagement and now it's time for anything and everything related to actually planning the Big Day. There is sure to be something for everyone whether you are planning the wedding of your dreams or a guest with lots of summer weddings to attend.
The big day is quickly approaching, the pressure is mounting, and stress levels are high. So when a sales clerk makes the fatal flaw of noticing and complimenting the sparkling rock on this irritable bride-to-be's finger, she nearly gets the finger. After all, rings are not worn to be admired-- right?
