I remember their storybook romance and wedding in a European castle back in 2007. They seemed like the perfect couple: gorgeous, rich and happy. However, there was more going on behind the scenes that we apparently knew about. alison 2010-11-18T22:05:00-06:00 http://www.weddingchicago.com/blog/entries/wedding-cake-disaster-brides-beware/ This is an unbelievable story that I found at the Chicago Tribune.  Apparently, Linda and Roman Salazar in the Chicagoland area was having their wedding reception at a popular reception site, but during the reception their five-tier double devil’s food pound cake fell right on the floor in front of everyone when the staff tried to move it to a different location in the room. alison 2010-10-15T19:10:00-06:00 http://www.weddingchicago.com/blog/entries/wedding-plastic-surgery-tv-show/ Just so you know, I have a much lower opinion about the E! Network and its decision to show this program on the network. Apparently, some brainiacs decided that a tv show featuring plastic surgery doctors cutting up women before their big day was an amazing idea for a TV show.  Really?  Isn’t the woman good enough as she is?  Does she need a doctor to surgically fix her before her wedding?  The whole idea behind the TV show is abhorrent to say the least. alison 2010-10-06T20:06:01-06:00 http://www.weddingchicago.com/blog/entries/real-housewives-of-atlanta-the-drama-is-back/ So you’re probably wondering why I’m including a blurb about The Real Housewives of Atlanta TV show on WeddingChicago.com.  Well, one of the women is getting married this season, but that had nothing to do with the first episode that aired this week.  I’m mostly writing about one of the newest characters, Phaedra Parks, and her husband, Apollo Nida. alison 2010-10-06T19:47:00-06:00 http://www.weddingchicago.com/blog/entries/dog-pees-on-the-bride-during-her-wedding/ A dog decided to share a part of himself right on the bride during her very own wedding. The white dress would end up with a special shade of yellow and a nice aroma.  Why do people insist on using animals in their wedding?  The dog was simply adhering to nature’s call, and the bride was the lucky recipient. alison 2010-10-06T19:37:00-06:00 http://www.weddingchicago.com/blog/entries/ready-to-walk-down-the-aisle-have-the-money-talk-first-by-neal-hooper/ It’s easy to get swept up in the romance of the holidays and the joy of being with the one you love. For all those couples who will become engaged during this season and even through early next year, there’s more to consider about making a lifetime commitment than ring sizes and wedding details. To set yourselves up for a lifetime of success, you need financial guidance to prepare you for financial issues you’ll face during marriage. alison 2010-09-02T19:30:00-06:00 http://www.weddingchicago.com/blog/entries/entertaining-children-at-weddings/ Barely a wedding goes by without a infant crying briefly in the work of a wedding ceremony, or a kid speaking (again briefly) in the work of the speeches. This is very always met with smiles & laughter & can be a fondly recalled part of the day. If, however, you feel your reaction would be more one of horror & embarrassment, an adult only ceremony and/or reception’ might be the appropriate choice for you. Alternatively, entertaining children at weddings can be an excellent compromise. alison 2010-08-13T10:10:00-06:00 http://www.weddingchicago.com/blog/entries/imaginative-studios-wedding-photo-sale/ Save ten percent in the wedding photo sale from Imaginative Studios. alison 2010-05-10T20:34:00-06:00 http://www.weddingchicago.com/blog/entries/dave-price-photography-special-deal/ Hi Chicago Brides, The new year has begun and we’re just now starting to thaw out!  It’s tough to meet with vendors when it’s so unbelievably cold out.  Today we actually hit 32 degrees...a heat wave!  You can still catch a great deal from Dave Price Photography.  alison 2010-01-26T02:49:00-06:00 http://www.weddingchicago.com/blog/entries/the-left-bank-trunk-show-in-chicago/ The Left Bank in Lincoln Park has an eclectic array of wedding accessories and bridal shoes that won’t break the bank.  alison 2009-11-12T12:19:00-06:00
