Setting a wedding date is hard enough, but having to figure where you’ll be spending your honeymoon is a whole other story. Unfortunately, this isn’t something you can pick from the top of your head.

When it comes to wedding traditions, all I know is old, new, borrowed, and blue. It never crossed my mind how unusual this tradition is until I read up on other countries and their way of celebrating.

Ah, summer. Childhood memories come flooding back, reminding you that the only fun break you had as a child was indeed in the summer. There were no responsibilities, no errands to run, no assignments due. Just you and your friends chasing down the ice-cream truck and chilling in the pool at the YMCA. I’m sure if you can turn back time, you would, but being an adult isn’t so bad. For one, you can...
Ah, the wedding registry. It started as a tradition to inform your guests which kitchen appliances you desire or if you prefer China over crystal.

If you have the honor to plan the bride’s bachelorette party, I have three words for you: it’s rager time.
