Wedding: 3D


The Internets are blazing with news that Prince William and Kate's upcoming royal nuptials may be broadcast in 3D.

You know, so everyone can feel like they're right there...or something.


Hmmmmm.

While I think that it's kind of amazing, and will probably go out and pick up a pair of 3D glasses the minute this news is confirmed, I can't help but ask: is this really necessary?

And although that may be a stupid question to ask since we are talking about THE royal wedding, I just find it...odd.

What do you guys think?

Trashy?

Crazy?

Amazing?

April 29, 2011.


Save the date.


Prince William and Kate (they like calling her Catherine now) Middleton are tying the knot in approximately 5 months!

What do we know?

She got Diana's engagement ring. It's going down at Westminster Abbey. April 29th has officially become a public holiday in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and (probably) Scotland.

I find this all quite exciting. I love anything and everything involving the royal family. They clearly live in their own unique world, and you know what? I just can't get enough.

Everyday we learn something new and bizarre about them - strange and dramatic details about their security team, royal "lessons" Kate is obliged to partake in, pre-engagement fertility tests, etc etc. There are even reports suggesting that the Queen thought Kate was too "common" after witnessing her mother chew gum at Prince William's graduation ceremony!

Amazing, non?

I live for this stuff.

For up to date news and (obviously) rumors involving the wedding of the decade, be sure to check out WB! We'll be reporting everything involving The Dress, guest list, wedding party, flowers, entertainment, hats (who's surprised?), scandals (if we're lucky) and more.

I wonder if we could get a live stream going on the 29th?

(A)+ Size

O.M.G. But for reals.

CW has just released a MONUMENTAL onslaught of ads for its upcoming show, "Shedding for the Wedding."

Shit just got real, y'all.

A spin-off the love child of "The Biggest Loser" and Say Yes to the Dress," this next reality TV sensation has been in the public eye at least since press release back in May, but is only set to hit the small screen mid-season 2011 (exact date TBA).

You DO realise what this means, right?

Inspirational drastic weight loss + fairy tale ending come true = Oh dear Lord, we have a cryer.

Neighbours, grab your kids and get them in their swimsuits: admission to the water-park down your street is free.

Oh yeah. It also means INFINITE material for INFINITE posts ...... mouahahahaha. Thanks, CW.

PS: somebody get Jillian Michaels a husband and some kids and maybe a dog or two. Everybody knows Bob is the better trainer.

I was gonna go get hitched, but then I got high

Barbara: Wow, Greg. We really thought this would be a good idea, didn't we?

Greg: I remember the night we came up with the plan. Your lesson had gone terribly that morning. Your meeting with your supervisor had gone worse, and the only thing waiting for you when you got home was your grant application rejection.

Barbara: We smoked a lot of pot that night.

Greg: You wanted to get married right away. You said it would be smarter to combine our incomes.

Barbara: Wasn't it?

Greg: You said we could have the party in your supervisor's backyard

and get the first years to cater.



And what would look nicer for a fall wedding than your new patterned dress and dark tights?


Barbara: Did we really get Justin to officiate?



Greg: You insisted.

Barbara: But hadn't he JUST defended?

Greg: He read from his dissertation at the ceremony. Don't you remember?


Barbara: Greg, we smoked a lot of pot that night, too.

Greg: Yeah. The cake was too small.

Barbara: Aww! The newbies remembered that I love tomatoes!

Just Click your Heels


It's really all about the shoes in this one.


I don't particularly like the dresses. They're not totally offensive, but the fabric is difficult and the color is dated.

I DO, however, like what is being done with the shoe situation. I think it looks both youthful and fun that their shoes are each a different color (even though some shades might match the purple of their dresses more than others) and that the bride opted for purple.

I kinda wish the the bridesmaid on the far left would have chosen a brighter color (yellow? orange?) and worn a higher heel, and that all the girls would have actually worn the same style of shoe (like the cute round-toe red and green pairs, and I assume the bride's as well)...but what can you do?

Compared to some of the wedding catastrophes WB has witnessed lately, this is cute and kind of unique.

I'll take it.

Honor Chair


Is that what I think it is?


Is that LOVE CHAIR?

A GIANT love chair at the honor table for the bride and groom? That is both padded and made of white pleather??

I mean, let's not kid ourselves, if I had it my way I would probably spend my entire wedding reception sitting on an (elevated) throne, sans honor table.

But this is just....strange?

For that "Jeans and a T-shirt" kind of couple...


Loyal reader "Ro" recently came across this set of pictures, and couldn't resist the urge to share it with the rest of the WB community.

I was thinking of the different ways I could possible introduce this post, and for the first time in my life I can honestly say that I am at a loss for words.

Just take a look for yourselves:


and this:
one more:


Ok. Like, WTF??

Besides the obvious (this is both ridiculous and completely unacceptable / are you both insane? / this is taking flip-flop wearing brides to a whole new level / why are you both dressed exactly alike / you look like 12 year old siblings who have to pose for one of those tacky family photos from Sears), I just think that this is a total slap in the face to all your guests.

Your guests who got all dolled up for your damn "special" day. Who got their hair did. Who got their nails did. Who are stuffed in their Spanx. Who are wearing killer footwear. Who are decked in their most uncomfortable suit and tie.

THIS is how you thank them?

By being unable to last in your wedding dress and tux past the ceremony??

Shame on you.

Shame on you both.

I am completely BORED by you.

i tip my hat


Finding a suitable dress for the mother of the bride or mother of the groom can be a daunting task. The MOB and MOG should look sophisticated and age-appropriate, but still chic and glamourous. Unfortunately, most boutiques out there don't offer anything interesting. The dresses are either tacky and overdone (too many pleats, too many ruffles, too many rhinestones) or simply boring and matronly (just because she's your mom, doesn't necessarily mean that she wants to look like one. there is a fine line between being age-appropriate and being granny pants). So what's a mom to do?

Well, thankfully, this MOG is here to show us all how it's done.

BAM.
How amazing does she look?
This woman OWNS it.
She's chic. She's sophisticated. She's sassy. She's flirty.
Not only is this a gorgeous color on her, but the cut is flattering and interesting. And I absolutely love that it's short!

And what about the hat. Oh, the hat.


I seriously LIVE for this hat. I mean, this woman is ready for tea with the Queen! It's so dramatic and adds so much flair, but somehow isn't over the top ridiculous.

Perfection.

MOBs and MOGs, take note. And grab a hat! A headpiece! Anything with a feather!
And don't be afraid of adding a little sass to your look.
