Jennifer Aniston and Cam Celebrate a Gigandet Wedding!
Jennifer Aniston showed off her killer legs out with her hairstylist Chris McMillan on the way into the wedding of their friend and fellow stylist Kelsie Gigandet. The bride's brother Cam Gigandet was looking hot all dressed up in a suit for Kelsie's big day. The Twilight star carried his young daughter Everleigh into the event and later smoked cigarettes outside the reception venue, Smog Shoppe, in LA.
Money Tip: Choose a Tax-Deductible Wedding Venue
The Knot's Annual Real Wedding Survey found that about 45 percent of a couple's wedding budget is spent on the reception venue, and based on the average $27,882 budget that amounts to about $12,722. One way to save on your venue is to hold your reception somewhere that's an approved nonprofit organization — your cost may be tax deductible as it could be considered a donation to the organization. It doesn't take too much thinking outside the box to come up with this type of venue as several museums and historic landmarks fall into consideration.

It may seem premature to start thinking about who will be receiving an invitation, but a relatively accurate head count is necessary before you venture out to check out venues.
