And of course, given that the famous people are often trained performers, we expect a lot out of their reception dancing. Surely they can do better than that couple from Minnesota!

The New Registry Do you really need another colander? Admit it—what you actually want is airfare to Cyprus. And with couples marrying later—often after they've shacked up and purchased the nesting essentials—wedding registries have gotten creative.

Mood music isn't always love songs. Check your iTunes for these romantic songs.
Since that first school dance when, like a newborn colt, you staggered over to her side of the gym, you've understood that music keeps the rhythm of romance. Back then, you were sure she felt it, too—along with what seemed to be a roll of nickels in your pocket.
Now it's a roll of quarters, and your musical tastes have hanged, but whether you're trotting through a long-term relationship or riding a speed stallion of lust, music still gets things moving.
