Bridesmaid sues designer Vera Wang.

Excerpt:

A Manhattan bridesmaid has filed a lawsuit against gown maker Vera Wang, claiming she was severely injured when she stepped on a needle at the designer's Upper East Side boutique.

I just ran into Snazzykat's site...yet another just-married blogger. Wedding was January 19, 2003. Congratulations!

BTW, our readers need to see pictures of the ring ;)

Sorry, but I couldn't find it...

In the article: Are all wedding traditions necessary?, Emilie Cassan does some great research into wedding traditions. It's a great read, here's a small excerpt:

I mean, why the big, gaudy diamond just to say you are engaged to be married? Why the fancy, white dress? And who decided we have to stand in a line for four hours with the groom on the left and the bride on the right with bridesmaids and groomsmen at the reception (of course with the lovely ambiance provided by basketball hoops and everything else that comes with the church gymnasium)? All of these traditions have become an important part of American weddings (well, maybe not that part about the basketball hoop ambiance). But many times, we adhere to these traditions because, well, it's tradition. In reality, we don't have a clue why we do them. With the season of love and twitterpation coming upon us, I decided to get down to the bottom of this wedding tradition stuff and find out why in the world we do these things.

The Greeley Tribune reports on a Marriage Proposal...

The day began when her John Evans Middle School students delivered her a dozen roses one by one.

Then another dozen came, this time delivered by the principal. Then came another dozen from Thompson%u2019s best friend, Danine Ehn, the school's office manager.
Dozens kept coming and coming until, by day's end, Thompson's desk looked like a kaleidoscope turned inside out. In all, she had received seven dozen roses.

And then came a few more roses. Ninety-three dozen more roses to be exact.

Those roses greeted Thompson in her Kersey living room along with beau Kevin Hudson, a Frontier Airlines manager who lives in Lakewood.

Bending on one knee, holding a diamond ring in his hand and with Elton John's "Your Song" playing in the background, he popped the question as several generations of Thompsons hid in the kitchen, straining to hear what was happening with their ears to the wall.

The Macomb Daily has a cool proposal story...

The pairs of identical twins spend so much time together it only seemed natural for the two men to propose marriage simultaneously, albeit about 20 miles apart.

"We have such a good time together," Jason said. "We're content to just hang out. We get along so well, we can have a great time just doing nothing."

Because of the rarity of their situation, the Macomb County couples -- Amy and Jennifer Hartkorn, and Jeff and Jason Schmelzer -- may appear on national television to tell their story. CBS-TV's "Good Morning America" has been in contact with them for a possible appearance.

The couples plan to marry next fall in a double ceremony. They haven't chosen a place yet, but honeymoons at the same location seem likely.

With the men checking their synchronized watches, the women received their diamond rings at 9 p.m. Nov. 12 -- Jennifer in her St. Clair Shores home and Amy in her Washington Township home. The women reacted similarly: "Are you serious?" Both had thought the proposals would come on a holiday or other special day.

But Jeff and Jason said they wanted to ask the important question during the routine of daily life. After all, they'll be sharing thousands of typical days -- and some special days -- for the next 50

Former Miss America to Become a Mrs.

Ebner proposed about three weeks ago, on one knee, a diamond ring waiting on his Bible and red roses scattered around the house.

"When I saw it, I was blown away," Harman said of the ring that Ebner had made for her in secret. "It was better than I imagined."

Danish prince at Sydney wedding.

Crown Prince Frederik and Ms Donaldson were among guests at the ceremony at St Mark's in Darling Point, who were later taken by boat on a sun-drenched Sydney Harbour to the reception at an exclusive Rose Bay Restaurant.

It was the fifth wedding since January attended by the rumoured expected soon-to-be royal couple.

At one of those weddings, for one of the Crown Prince's close friends, Ms Donaldson was pictured with what seemed to be a large diamond engagement ring.

But that ring was not on her finger during today's wedding ceremony and celebrations.

The Daily World has an article describing a Halloween Proposal Story.

Congratulations to Susan and PhotoDude on their recent marriage. Here's their ring.

Couple air laundry before TV judge

Jim Baird parked a block from Main Street, got down on bended knee in the parking lot and pulled out the diamond chip ring he bought online from Target. "Will you marry me?" Baird asked. Then-girlfriend Jo Ann Morin said yes, and the Beverly Hills couple began planning a June ceremony -- her second marriage, his third. Happily ever after? Not quite. This engagement story ended not with a trip to the altar, but with a trip to the Judge Judy television show.

This is cool. Chris Pirillo Reports that GeekGrrl met Milbertus in his chatroom and now they are getting married! Congratulations guys!

Here's the ring.
