11 Couples from 11 Cities Getting Married on 11/11/11 in Disney World

Every year, Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings hosts more than 1,000 weddings. But the 11 weddings taking place on November 11 will be the first time that the number of weddings coincides with the wedding month, date, and year.

“Our couples have always loved sequential number wedding dates and we are already beginning to hold space for 12/12/12,” said Korri McFann, Worldwide Marketing & Business Development Director, Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons. “Couples have even moved venues to make sure their wedding stays on one of these very special dates.”

Nancy O'Dell's Favorite Ideas For Wedding Keepsakes

In my years covering Hollywood, now with Entertainment Tonight, I’ve seen some spectacular weddings. My own tastes, however, run a little simpler. When Keith and I were married in June 2005, we kept it to just family and a few very close friends. That was part of a conscious effort I made to keep focused on what’s important to Keith and me.

Bridal Bootcamp: Why One BG Staffer Started Boxing

I'm pictured on the right, my friend Chrissy is on the left. We're delirious and makeup-free, but endorphin-happy from our workout. The sacrifices we do for journalism...

Whenever I tell someone that I am taking a boxing class to get more toned for my wedding, their reaction is always the same: "I want to try kickboxing, too!" After I explain that I meant "boxing" as in punching bags, gloves, and a ring where the point is to knock someone else out, I'm met with shocked expressions. "But why?" they'll ask.

I've been duitfully practicing yoga and working on cardio three to four times a week since last February. I decided that since I'm in my 20's, it was now or never (before having a husband, children, and other heavy-duty responsibilities) to establish some kind of fitness routine. Once I reached my goal and difficult sun salutations started to seem as effortless as scratching my back, it was time to intensify my workout routine, and boxing was the ultimate challenge.

Five Last-Minute Wedding Tasks

Dear BG.com readers: Can you believe I'm getting married this week?! Stay tuned for a full recap and tons of photos from our wedding day.

As I looked through all of my plans for Vegas, I realized that I had left out a few things accidentally. I was surprised by the fact that I subconsciously trusted myself not to forget these things! 

Here is what I'm saving for last:

1. List of must-take photos. I am constantly changing my mind and adding on to this list , so I reckon it's best to wait until a few days before to finalize it.

2. Bridal jewelry. This one may come as a surprise, but I held off on this one until I got to my pre-wedding moon in NYC, so that I could search for a meaningful treasure there.

3. Wedding night lingerie. Okay, okay, I'm not going into any details. But can you say Victoria's Secret?

4. Marriage license. In the state of Nevada, it only takes an hour to get our license, so we didn't have to worry about looking into it from back home in Australia.

5. Wedding attire neatness. With all the traveling we're doing, I'm assuming that down the road somewhere after NYC and before the wedding, our clothing will need steaming. I am also assuming that with Vegas being such a typical wedding destination, it won't be hard finding someone to steam our gear.

Runway Report: Don't Forget Your Back!


Ladies, don't forget to think of your guests!

I know when you are trying on your dream dress, you will be fine-tuning the look of the front of your dress; however, remember your guests will spend a considerable amount of time looking at the back of your dress. Give them some eye-candy!

This season, designers kept the guests in mind, showcasing unique and lovely backs. Accents of sheer fabric and lace added a fashion-forward look to this often-neglected side.
