Back in 1952, Isidore and Joan Schwartz tied the knot at New York's famed Waldorf-Astoria hotel. And now, the happy couple will be returning to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary for just $16.80—the same price they paid on their wedding night (today, room rates start at $319). “I’m going to see if anything looks familiar,” Isidore, 88, told the New York Daily News.

Why did this couple score such a steep discount? Turns out, the Waldorf has a little-known policy that allows a couple who spent their honeymoon at the Waldorf to celebrate a milestone anniversary (50 years or more) at the original room rate—all they need is their receipt. Not many people know about the deal—about two or three couples take advantage of this amazing perk every year.

Isidore, 88, and Joan, 82, met on a blind date on Thanksgiving 1950, and were married 16 months later. Recalling their reception: “I remember standing on some sort of balcony, looking down at the wedding party, and seeing all my relatives grabbing at the food,” Joan said. $4.75 covered a steak dinner for one, and ice sculptures at the reception, too.

“It was a great party. Everyone had a great time,” said Isidore.

Although my fiancé Corey and I haven’t registered for gifts yet, we’ve started to think about where we’d like to register and what we’d like to register for. We want to keep our registry as streamlined as possible, so finding a store that offers everything we need for each room (bedroom, kitchen and bathroom) all in one place is important to us. We found that Kohl’s is a great option because they have tons of locations, so out-of-town guests are sure to find a convenient one near them. Plus, they just unveiled their new Ever After Rewards Program, where you can earn 10% rewards on gifts purchased! We took a trip to Kohl's recently to get some registry inspiration and found some great items that fit our hectic yet down-to-earth lifestyle perfectly.

Corey has been traveling for work a lot lately and didn’t have any luggage of his own, so he was thrilled to receive the Delsey® Air Energy 2.0 21-in. Expandable Wheeled Carry-On as a Christmas gift. We found out that the full Delsey luggage set is available at Kohl's, so we look forward to registering for more pieces from that line. That way, we have all of our bases covered for future trips. Luggage should last for decades, so you want to make sure you register for top-quality brands like Delsey.

Each week, we feature music recommendations from Scratch Weddings, the nation's leader with the best wedding DJs at affordable prices. This week's post comes from DJ Jon Blak, whose client list includes Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Jermaine Dupri and Ryan Leslie. He describes his style as "retro/future”, a seamless blend of old and new that translates well to wedding guests of all ages. "I love the challenge of crossing genres and generations and playing a diverse mix that's totally seamless. At the end a wedding, I'd like the bride and the groom to be exhausted from dancing!" Jon is known infusing any event with energy and cool, while always keeping the client's musical preferences front and center in his music selection.
