Let's Dish: What Are Your Wedding Pet Peeves?
When I chatted weddings with Gail Simmons a couple of weeks ago, she shared her tips for hosting an eco-friendly big day and let me know her wedding pet peeves. "When the wedding doesn't reflect the personality of the couple, that really bugs me." Also on her list: a menu that lacks creativity, and dessert buffets.
50 Strangers Throw Couple Surprise Wedding Reception
The improv gurus behind No Pants Subway Rides teamed up this week to throw a surprise wedding reception for a random, unsuspecting couple. Fifty wannabe guests got dressed in their matrimonial attire, and headed down to Manhattan's City Clerk's office.
One couple was selected and led to tents that had been borrowed from a just-finished job fair.
How-To: Create Slideshows and Movies For Your Reception
If you haven't noticed, it's wedding season here on the Sugar Network and I've been busy telling you how to keep up with your own wedding website, pick out the perfect photographer, and manage all those photos — yours and your guests — after the big day. This week, we're moving into the wedding planning stages, and today I'm talking about slideshows. But this isn't the after-the-event, it-was-such-a-beautiful-day slideshow, this is the slideshow you play during your reception, usually packed with photos of you and your betrothed throughout your relationship together.
Home Away From Home: The Madonna Inn
Looking for a kooky, kitschy hotel experience? Then check out San Luis Obispo's own Madonna Inn. This 51-year-old hotel is an absolutely unique experience for visitors, featuring an overwhelming pink color palette and rooms with themes including "Love Nest," "Caveman," and "Portugal."
Wedding Tip: Have Your Guests Upload Photos to One Place
I used to think that having disposable cameras at each table at a wedding reception was such a fabulously brilliant idea.
But now the quality of the disposable film cameras is too shoddy for any possible framers, plus the kind of people who are going to take photos will have already brought their own cameras. To further drive a stake in the heart of this old trend, last year the majority of you voted that you no longer loved it.
Ways to Geek Out Your Wedding Reception
Everyone wants their wedding to reflect their personality, but if you're a geek, you don't exactly want to dress as a Star Trek couple (or maybe you do, no judgment). But there are other equally fun ways to incorporate geekiness and gadget love in your wedding reception.

Say you met your match at an Apple store, yes, it's possible to meet men there — would you consider tying the knot in one? Or maybe having your reception there?

Geek Tip: Rent a Photo Booth For Your Wedding Reception!
Sure, this trend might be picking up at weddings and parties in general, but trends are usually hot for a reason: Skip the disposable cameras and capture candids with a rented photo booth! Guests will have another great activity for the reception, you'll have even more awesome photos for your album, and face this reality: Everyone loves a photo booth!
Photobooth.net helps you find and reserve a photo booth around the country (and has a great piece of advice: Traditional photo booths need a venue on the ground floor due to their weight).
DIY: Elegant and Rustic Wedding Decor
A friend of mine recently got married at a San Francisco restaurant with 25 close guests in attendance. The ceremony was held in a private room, and afterward, everyone sat down at one big table for a three-course dinner.
Since the couple threw together the "elopement" on short notice, they recruited friends to help; a friend and I were asked to do the flowers.
