Weddings in the news

Television and Hollywood weddings are usually dream weddings. They are sensationalized and overdone, often costing in the hundreds of thousands and even into the millions. ABC paid a well-known four million dollars for Ryan and Trista’s wedding just a few years ago. Even I couldn’t help but think, don’t overdo it on the pink, when planning my wedding, as their wedding looked like a truck carrying Pepto Bismol had exploded somewhere near their wedding venue.

These weddings are always sweet to watch. They give us a glimpse of what you can have if money is no object. They are romanticized notions of weddings and marriage.

This blog strives to always point out lavish and frugal sides of weddings because in the real world, a wedding lasts a day and isn’t listed on tens of websites and discussed for days on end at the company water cooler.

If you live for these special weddings read on.

This week on the ABC daytime soap All My Children there will be a wedding. Click here to read a great sneak preview.

On last Thursday night’s Grey’s Anatomy Cristina pondered what to do with gifts from a wedding that didn’t exactly materialize.

Wedlok reports that Michelle Pfeiffer says that George Clooney will marry. One day. And apparently, when he does, he will owe her $100,000. The two of them have a friendly wager going on. This was reported last week on a UK television show.

And, finally … Nicole Richie and Joel Madden aren’t marrying quite yet. He is still away on the Good Charlotte tour in Australia.

Keep it up Hollywood!
We love your wedding stories!
