The Questions Never End ...

POSTED BY KELLEY LYNN, NOVEMBER 08 2007 08:00 AM | PERMALINK

The annoying questions that other people ask you throughout your adult life are, well... annoying. Once you reach, say, the age of 23 or so (or younger if you don't attend college) people start with the annoying questions about your life plans. The questions usually run in stages; according to the different stages of your life. We have all heard them, and I think women get them a lot more than men do. But men, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

QUESTION #1: So, when are you getting married?

I Have a Proposal for You ...

The Proposal. It seems like such a formal word for something that is so personal, doesn't it? A Proposal sounds like some sort of business transaction between two corporatations, rather than the beginning of a lifelong commitment to a new life together.

There are so many "stereotypical" proposals that we always hear about. The classic baseball game proposal where the question is posted on the giant screen for all the crowd to see. To me; if I were a guy, that would be way too stressful. How can you...
"MY WIFE IS A NAG!" and other stereotypes about Marriage

POSTED BY KELLEY LYNN, OCTOBER 26 2007 08:00 AM | PERMALINK

While I was searching Youtube today for some "funny" wedding related videos to use in my blogs here at Brideorama, I started to get extremely frustrated. And not only me, but my husband; who was watching these videos with me. We would open one, give it a minute or two, listen intently awaiting the big payoff laughter to ensue; and then give up, soon realizing there was NO laughter to be had. Why? Because 9 out of 10 of these videos were about the same old thing; men complaining that their wives NAG them....
A Wedding Story

So part of what I've been doing here at Brideorama lately is searching for funny, creative wedding related video clips; and then posting them along with a blog or reaction. This job has been quite challenging as of late however; due to the lack of original and funny material out there to share with you all. So when something makes me laugh, I have to pass it along.

This video is from a sketch called "A Wedding Story," and it comes from the hilarious MAD TV. The featured couple here tells their wedding...
Using Your Wedding to Help Others (Dear Danille...)

POSTED BY KELLEY LYNN, OCTOBER 24 2007 10:18 AM | PERMALINK

In this week's GET ADVICE section, Danille had a terrific question. She wondered if there were places other than Ebay where a bride could go to sell or buy used wedding dresses (like a wedding thrift shop). She also asked if there was anything productive she and other brides could do with any reusable items after the wedding is over. As Danille stated, "I really hate all the waste." This is a great point Danille; and I completely agree with you. I hate all the waste too. The good news is that there is...
Dear Stressed Out Bride...

POSTED BY KELLEY LYNN, OCTOBER 11 2007 10:02 AM | PERMALINK

I love your name! And now, to answer your question about the wedding party. Essentially, you have a total of 7 bridesmaids on your side, and your fiance has only 4 groomsmen. You were questioning whether or not this would look "weird" because it is uneven. In a word; No.

Let me expand on that answer. (Can you imagine if I just answered your question with only a one-word response? Just "No," and nothing else? I would be the worst Advice giver on the planet, but it would make me laugh to see if they...
What You Wish You Could Say

Ladies. Men. Anyone and everyone who has ever been invited to a wedding in which you don't "really" want to go to ... Don't you sometimes wish that you could throw away every etiquette book, every set of rules, and just tell the Bride and Groom how you really feel? I know. I wish the same thing. But sometimes it's just not possible. That's why the good folks over at the hilarious website www.someecards.com have done it for us. So while you're reading a few of these funny wedding cards, think about what...

If you are planning a wedding in the United States, you may at some point during the process have asked yourself the purpose of some of the more bizarre customs or "traditions" that we Americans have.
