From Examiner.com:
Considering a wedding that is out of this world? Consider a Star Trek wedding theme!
Brad Siegel, 53, and Kate Erwin, 34, are doing it! The couple won a contest and will be married on a mock-up of the Starship Enterprise 1701-D bridge, which is part of a traveling Star Trek exhibit at the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia. What better way to celebrate their love for each other and their love for the Star Trek series?The couple met three years ago at a Star Trek convention. Although their common interests in Star Trek are generations apart, Siegal being a Star Trek original fan while Erwin is more of a Star Trek the Next Generation fan, they still managed to find enough common perspectives on life to stick together.
Siegel proposed to Erwin during an Star Trek convention in Secaucus in March of 2009. He planned it so that they would both be on stage to receive “prizes” and he could propose to her in front of hundreds of people and fellow fans.
The Franklin Institute contest encouraged entrants to display and combination of romance and geekiness; Seigal and Erwin were totally game for it and how could they not be? Their relationship was founded on Star Trek love!
What could be more romantic and geeky than Siegal asking Erwin if she would “…be [his] wife … [his] imzadi?” Imzadi is term of endearment from the Star Trek Next Generation’s fictional language of Betazoid. Entering the Franklin Institute competition was easy, the couple simply explained how Star Trek and their frequent Star Trek convention visits have helped to weave their own special kind of romance.The contest was narrowed down to three couples chosen by a panel of judges, including George Takei, who played Sulu on the original Star Trek series. Siegal and Erwin were chosen as the winners after a public vote.
The Franklin Institute will provide a Star Trek themed wedding cake, champagne, and space for the reception. Siegal and Erwin are planning yummy treats for their guests including Klingon qagh, a Star Trek dish of serpent worms that is best served while they are alive, but will likely be substituted with noodles colored red and black with food coloring, as serpent worms are out of season.
They anticipate that their wedding guests will come donned in various Star Trek ensembles to make this wedding totally out of this world!

Great Dave Barry Post about Weddings

From NY Daily News:
Every year, as we enter wedding season, I go to the bookstore and pick up a bridal magazine. Then I crumple to the floor with lower-back spasms, because during wedding season, bridal magazines achieve roughly the same mass as Kirstie Alley. They have hundreds of pages of advertisements and articles designed to help the bride, as she gets ready for her Special Day, go insane.
New Trend: Mengagement Rings
Posted by: | CommentsFrom Telegraph.co.uk:
Is nothing female sacred? Modern men may exfoliate, moisturise and wax; they may wear ‘manbags’ and ‘mandals’; and now, it seems, they are stretching their sticky little fingers towards that shiniest of feminine symbols: the engagement ring.
Seems like diamonds are no longer just a girl’s best friend!
Man Uses Hula Hoop as Engagement Ring Substitute
Posted by: | CommentsFrom The Chester Chronicle:
What would you do in this situation? It’s the morning you’re are planning on popping the question. Every last detail of the day is planned. You are even throwing a surprise engagement party for you and your bride to be back at the house after you come back from getting down on one knee. You couldn’t sleep the night before, nervous that some small detail may have been overlooked. What if something goes wrong, and the whole plane is thrown out of whack?
Paul Tucker found himself in exactly that position. He woke up that morning nervous but excited and confident that all of his planning would be work out just fine. Until he went to the jewelry store morning-of to find out that the ring he had ordered wasn’t ready yet. Paul didn’t panic, though. He rushed out and bought the next best thing to a diamond engagement ring – a Hula Hoop! That’s right, Paul proposed with the toy immortalized in the Hudsucker Proxy (You Know, For Kids!).
I guess his bride-to-be liked the creativity Paul displayed — she said yes!
Hilarious Wedding March
Posted by: | CommentsThis is one of the funnier wedding entrances I’ve ever seen. It’s especially ironic that they’re dancing to Chris Brown’s Forever, since he just apologized publicly for physically abusing his girlfriend, pop-star Rihanna. Doesn’t exactly conjure up visions of a romantic white wedding.
Top Ten Celebrity Proposals
Posted by: | CommentsFrom The Hollywood News:
From Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor to Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, The Hollywood News details the ten best celebrity wedding proposals.
My personal favorite? Seal and Heidi Klum:
Seal pulled out all the stops for his extraordinary proposal to Heidi Klum.The singer whisked his supermodel girlfriend off in a helicopter and, while most of us would probably be chuffed with just that, he didn’t stop there. He flew Heidi to the top of a 14,000 ft glacier where he had arranged for a specially-made igloo to be built. Inside was a bed covered in rose petals, dozens of candles and plenty of food and Champagne for them to celebrate with. Heidi later described it as a ‘once-in-a-lifetime event’!
