Love was certainly in the air yesterday as Indiana-based couple Dottie Coven and Keith Stewart became the first to get married during a Southwest Airlines flight.

"There are a lot of things around flying that tend to not be fun. Let's make it fun again," the bride said.

Her older sister Jill's wedding just aired this week on 19 Kids and Counting, but in real life, the Duggars were celebrating the nuptials of their third oldest daughter, Jessa!

My fiancé Chris recently sold his home in Sacramento, and we were finally able to move in together! It was great timing because I was getting a bit too comfortable flying solo. I'm 34 years old and an independent gal, and I was loving throwing my shoes wherever I wanted and sprawling out on the bed, but it was time to share. Naturally, I was a little nervous and hoped that our tiny apartment in San Diego could handle both of us and our stuff. Here's what we've learned from our time living together so far.

It feels like it happens every year when you're in your twenties: You glance at your calendar at the beginning of the season, and you realize your weekends are outright booked for the next three months. Weddings, showers, bachelorettes, birthdays, and holidays... all of that celebrating can really add up! In the spirit of keeping everyone and their wallet happy, we've got five ideas for bachelorette bashing on a budget.

Creating your DIY projects just got so much easier, thanks to the amazing Command Brand Party Products from 3M. These genius items came across my desk recently, and I was duly impressed. They’re ideal for pre-wedding festivities, making it quick and easy to set up decorations for a bachelorette party, bridal shower, bridesmaids’ luncheon and more.

Welcome to our latest installment of "Ask the Experts," where our contributor team of wedding planners solves readers' most pressing wedding-planning dilemmas! This week, Stephanie F. Carmody from Trés Chic Events and Ashley Espinal from Dulce Dreams Events weigh in on how to inject color into your big day without going overboard. Do you have a question that you'd like to submit?

Fireball's tagline is "Tastes like heaven, burns like hell, and what happens next is up to you." A groomsman in Iowa took this motto to the next level by duct taping a GoPro video camera to a bottle of this cinnamon whiskey. The result is a hilarious video that captures what really goes on at a fun wedding — everyone couldn't resist taking a swig! Germaphobes be damned.

Watch the bottle get passed round and round:

Real-life hipster Ariel Traci Hines marries Prince Eric in this epically creative and stylish beach wedding shoot inspired by The Little Mermaid. Seriously, from the bride's dip-dyed gown to the tutu-clad bridesmaids — and don't even get me started on the shimmery tablescapes adorned with ocean-themed delicacies — this is the sort of magical big day Disney dreams are made of.

One month has passed since George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin tied the knot in Venice but the wedding festivities continue! On October 25th, the 53-year-old actor/director and 36-year-old human rights attorney were fêted in a post-wedding event hosted by the bride's parents at the Danesfield House Hotel and Spa in England.
