Although weddings are usually accompanied by tears, brides and females of the Tujia people in China take matters to a whole new level. Starting one whole month in advance the bride starts to cry for 1 hour everyday. Ten days into the ordeal the mother joins in, and then ten days later the grandmother does the same. By the end of the month every female in the family is crying alongside the bride. Why? Well, it’s actually supposed to be an expression of joy as the women weep in different tones, kind of like a song…a very salty, wet song.

The Seating Plan. There’s a reason why this task takes so long. Seating your guests is a crucial step because where you sit someone can have a real effect on whether or not they have a good time. While it’s not a bad idea to mix and match your family and friends (not every clique needs to sit at the same table), you do need to be realistic. For example, your work friends probably don’t want to sit with your grandparents, while your great Auntie won’t have much in common with your uni roommate. Oh, and your single friends do not want to sit at the kids’ table -trust me!

We all know that most celebrity marriages do not last, but we can be sure of one thing: stunning bridal gowns.

Considered as one of the most beautiful women in the world, the actress wore a wedding gown that fits her title. She married her billionaire husband Francois-Henri Pinault first in a surprise ceremony at City Hall in Paris on Valentine’s Day 2009. Then she married him again in a lavish affair at Venice’s opera house. In their second wedding, Salma wore a stylish Balenciaga wedding gown designed by Nicolas Ghesquiere.

In some parts of India the groom is required to take off his shoes before approaching the wedding altar. As soon as he does this mayhem ensues. Everyone from the bride’s side of the family tries to steal them while everyone from the groom’s side of the family tries to protect them. If the bride’s family succeeds in their endeavor, then they are allowed to hold the shoes hostage until they get paid a ransom.

The Lighting. No one wants to sit under fluorescent lighting at a wedding reception (we get enough of that in our work cubicles, right?), but you also don’t want a space that is so dimly lit that guests are in danger of injuring themselves. Lighting might seem as easy as having a good dimmer or hanging some pretty white lights around the room, but there is actually an art to this. And be careful of candles – make sure they are firmly secured and no where near where guests or bridal party risk catching their floaty party dresses on.

Celebrity Wedding Gowns ♥ Bianca Jagger

We all know that most celebrity marriages do not last, but we can be sure of one thing: stunning bridal gowns.

Bianca was known for her masculine-feminine style. When she got married to Rolling Stone Mick Jagger in 1971, her bridal gown reflected her signature look. She wore an Yves Saint Laurent Le Smoking jacket with a plunging neck line, a long skirt and a hat.
