I’m all for guys giving their girlfriends fancy engagement rings when they propose. I’m equally for ladies marking this major moment in their relationships by offering their guys awesome presents. So what did I get Paul?
An LCD flat-screen TV! (It was 2006, so these were still a big deal.) He may have brought up wanting one as often as I talked about wanting to get engaged, so I knew it was the perfect present. Since I don’t know the first thing about electronics, I had to spoil the surprise and ask for his help in choosing a model and a size. He didn’t seem to mind.

Remember how, last year, Jennifer Hudson staged an “encore proposal” for her fiance, presenting him with a luxe 5-carat diamond Neil Lane band that she had helped design? Well now, according to One Wed and The New York Times, the “mengagement” ring trend is catching on among non-celebs too.
Some women seem to be all about the idea—after all, an engagement can last several years. The idea: Is it really fair for the woman to proclaim herself “taken” by virtue of a big glaring diamond on her finger, while her husband-to-be is off gallivanting around sans ring? M

In these uncertain times, the media knows that we’ve got a lot of things to be anxious about.
Is Levi Johnston seriously running for mayor of Wasilla? How’s Snooki doing, post-arrest? What’s going to happen to Steven Slater, that crazy JetBlue flight attendant who found a new use for the emergency chute?
But there’s one worry that’s taking up more mental real estate than any other. That, of course, is “Am I ever going to get married???”

We’ve debated the pros and cons of vintage wedding dresses but what about a vintage bridesmaid dress?
For real bride Leah’s Alice in Wonderland and Mary Poppins-inspired nuptials in Georgia, she chose a candy-color mish-mosh of printed, vintage frocks for her ‘maids. Each attendant also wore a pair of different, crazy-fun shoes, from yellow flats to cowboy boots. The result: a playful, creative, off-the-cuff look. Scope out more pics of Leah and her superfun wedding party here and discuss in the comments—vintage bridesmaid dresses, Do or Don’t?

We absolutely adore these floral inspirations and could see some wonderful DIY projects in the works. From petaled pathways to pom-poms hanging from the ceiling, flowers can quickly transform any space and add a touch of color in whichever palette your heart desires.
The placecard board by Elizabeth Anne Designs makes for an elegant display, and we love Rebecca Thuss’ use of flower petals to create an enchanted pathway. We are also impressed byFront Projects idea to mount silk and plastic flowers to the wall, creating a wonderfully textured backdrop. For
