Awkward! Wedding Planning With Fiancé Causing Tension
I know a very modern bride who is beginning to wonder if she really knows the guy she's marrying. It's not that she's having second thoughts — it's just that planning their wedding is highlighting differences of opinion about tradition and convention she didn't know were there.
For example, this bride is hip to the fact that weddings are not unique events.
Girl-Grooming Is Booming. (Or Is It?)
Do you remember the first time you became interested in beauty products? While I played with peel-off nail polish and occasionally painted my mom's nails, it wasn't really until I was in junior high that I busted out the Bonne Bell and Rave hairspray. Anything beyond that just wasn't allowed via my parents' strict rules.
Do Tell: What's the Most Interesting Wedding You've Been To?
It's Wedding Planning Mania time on the Sugar network, and as brides-to-be surely know — it may be one of the most stressful times they may ever experience. From planning the guest list, to deciding the registry, to choosing a location for the big day — it's almost understandable that some women go into Bridezilla mode.
But for some daredevils (or financially strapped and/or free spirits), there's a way of getting married — short of hightailing it to Vegas without telling anyone — that can turn the day into a near-spontaneous and yet memorable and poetic event.
A Fab Wedding in Zihuatanejo, Mexico
I recently experienced my first destination wedding. And I don’t think any of my other friends' weddings will compare (sorry!). I was invited by the sister of the groom and it was in fun-but-hard-to-pronounce Zihuajanetejo, Mexico.
Mario Kart Wedding Cake Pwns
I literally did a huge geek gasp when I saw this exquisite Mario Kart Cake on Flickr the other day. Stop me if you've heard this before but, this one has to beat all the other yummy geek cakes I've ever seen!
This chocolate decadent cake, filled with chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, ganache, and buttercream, was made to celebrate the bride and groom — and their love of Mario Kart!
Trend: Geeky Wedding Cakes
With wedding season in full swing everyone has been talking about my favorite things: rings, dresses and cakes. I tend to keep up on tech and cake news so I should have realized that a surge of geeky cakes, like the iPhone cake and the Super Mario Bros. cake would influence the wedding cake market and give birth to beauties like this Nintendo wedding cake I found on Flickr.

- Hirsutism: excessive male-pattern hair growth affecting 8%of adult women.

Maker Faire: Interactive Wedding And Birthday Cakes
JiSun Lee's booth at this weekend's Maker Faire featured my favorite "science faire meets real life" art pieces. Lee pulled my boyfriend and I out of the crowd, pinned a white wedding veil on my head and put a bow tie on my boyfriend in record time (he didn't even have time to panic!) then led us to her interactive wedding cake. We were then instructed to push the buttons on the outside of the three-layer cake until the small bride and groom figures on the top of the cake got close enough to one another to kiss.
The How-To Lounge: Reception Speech and Toast Etiquette
While the toasts at a rehearsal dinner are casual, the wedding reception usually has its own set of more formal speeches. Having planned speeches at your wedding is in no way mandatory, but if you don’t account for them, they’re likely to happen anyway, so before the big day, it’s best to sit down for a few minutes to plan them out. To check out my tips on reception speech etiquette, read more
The Chocolate Laptop Wedding Cake
A big thanks to geeksugar reader mf cohen, who sent us this yummy edible geek laptop creation! This is what she had to say about it: "A grooms cake is a southern wedding tradition. In addition to the wedding cake, you have a grooms cake to celebrate the grooms hobbies or interests, so you can be assured there's at least one thing at the wedding that's about them.
