"This year, I resolve to..." How many of us recite these words as the ball starts to drop, only to feel less-than-motivated by February? Don't despair — lack of motivation strikes even the most disciplined exercisers. Try to remember how good you felt about yourself after completing your workout, and be proud that you've started a program at all. Then, follow these handy tips to keep yourself going.

"Hangover" Star Gets Hitched!

He may have played an anxious groom who had the most hell-raising bachelor party in history, but offscreen, Justin Bartha's wedding was picture-perfect!

The Hangover actor, 35, got hitched to his longtime girlfriend, Lia Smith, at Kualoa Ranch in O'ahu, Hawaii over the weekend. The ceremony took place at the venue's historic fishing pond, followed by a reception in the same valley where scenes from The Hunger Games were filmed.

Their intimate yet star-studded guest list included Reese Witherspoon and husband Jim Toth (Bartha's agent), The Social Network's Jesse Eisenberg and Bartha's Hangover co-star Ken Jeong. (No word yet on whether anyone from "The Wolf Pack" attended.)

An eyewitness tells Us Weekly that "They were sweet together and looked very in love. He was holding her bouquet for her and walked with his arm around her after the vows. She had a big smile on her face and nuzzled her face up to his neck. Their family and friends seemed so happy for them and had an incredible time hanging out in Hawaii leading up to the wedding."

By Taryn Hillin for Huffington Post Weddings

The bride tells the Huffington Post that the theme came about because her now-husband is a "huge" wrestling fan. Not only were the save the dates titled "Wedding Mania", the bride tells us that the DJ acted as the "ring announcer," the groom and his groomsmen rocked championship belts, and the new couple even entered the reception with their own themed music playing in the background — just like a couple of WWE pros.

Check out all the amazing photos below.

January 3rd

Tip of the Day: So, should you call your new mother-in-law Mom and your new father-in-law Dad at the wedding? They are, after all, official family now. Etiquette warnings say to wait on that, actually. You don’t want to shock anyone, or catch them off-guard, by walking up to them and calling them these titles.

If your in-laws have a discomfort with that, you don’t want to experience the humiliation of being told to call them what you’ve always called them, and you don’t want your new hubby embarrassed that you just decided on your own to call his parents Mom and Dad. You may be super-close with them, or hoping to be, but wait for a later time — like at a post-honeymoon dinner at your place — when you are invited to call them Mom and Dad.

Kaley Cuoco Tied the Knot!

Kaley Cuoco rang in 2014 as a Mrs. — bazinga!

The Big Bang Theory star, 28, married 26-year-old tennis player Ryan Sweeting at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Santa Susana, Calif. last night. They had around 150 guests in attendance, including Cuoco's Big Bang co-star Johnny Galecki and Bachelorette alum Ali Fedotowsky. The blushing bride shared a sweet "just married" snapshot with her fans on Instagram confirming the news. The caption read: "Yep :) #thesweetings"

Cuoco wore a custom-designed petal pink strapless tulle ball gown by Vera Wang. With its sweetheart neckline, detailed bodice, and hand appliquéd Chantilly lace accents, it's a romantic yet fashion-forward choice for the starlet, in contrast with her television persona, Penny. She accessorized it with a nude tulle veil with pink floating appliqués. People and Us Weekly report that she also wore a short red dress - we can't wait to see more photos!

The couple made headlines when they got engaged after just three months of dating. "You know by day two I was like, 'Oh, my god.' It was so unbelievable," she revealed during an appearance on Ellen. "I said, 'This is it, this is it.'"

Cuoco told Craig Ferguson that her dreams for the big day included having a cake in the shape of her dogs' heads ("I'm obsessed with my dogs") and riding in on one of her horses ("I secretly kinda want to do that").

Stay tuned for more details on her fire-and-ice-themed bash! Congratulations to the happy couple.
