Tip of the Day: Oct. 5th is Do Something Nice Day, and since fall is such a popular time for charity walks and runs, think about participating in one with your fiancé or bridesmaids to help support a cause you believe in. Or, if you're not the race type, contact the organizers to see if they need any volunteers to hand out water bottles, direct runners along the path, or just cheer on the participants. It's a feel-good day to give back to your community and it'll offer a nice break from wedding-related stress!

On June 7th, 2013, Amanda Roman experienced three milestones in just a few hours: Ryan Leak, her boyfriend of five years, said "I love you" for the first time; then, they got engaged in front of 100 loved ones, and later on, the couple tied the knot in a wedding filled with all of her favorite things.

Miraculously, she was unaware that any of these events were about to occur, thanks to Leak's dogged determination to surprise her. The plan was hatched two years prior, when the 27-year-old Dallas native overheard Roman, 25, telling a friend that her dream was to get engaged and married on the same day.

When it came time to propose to his future wife, he always knew he wanted to "do something extravagant" — but he never expected that would mean organizing an entire wedding from start to finish on his own. "I don't know any guy who wakes up and actually wants to plan a wedding," Leak says in a video about the couple's story, which has now gone viral.
