Weddings are a pivotal point in a woman's life. It says to the world, " Look at me I graduated from singledom." " I am not like all my single girlfriends anymore ha, ha." So why settle for the same old song and dance, complete with lackluster hotel hall reception, cheesy limousine ride, and tacky wedding favors that everyone discards or makes fun of? Listen up girls, don't be that bride! You know which one I'm talking about, the one we all talk about , the one we could not believe went for the Winehouse look simply because her bridesmaid's cousin's sister babby daddy girlfiend graduated from the Marinello School of beauty extended adult program, and will not charge you in exchange for an invite to your wedding. This is your day and unless you want people to remember your wedding because you ended up looking like a drag queen pay attention to my tips for a fabulous memorable wedding for the fabulous memorable you.

Location location location. I cannot stress it enough. Don't fall into the trap of hotel banquet halls. This is so passe, and it is not original. What about someone's backyard? Surely you must know someone with a fabulous backyard that is willing to rent it out to you for your special day. I know we all know someone with a to die for backyard where you can invision their grotto filled with water lilies and candles providing the most memorable backdrop for the wedding cake and pictures! here's the part where you sigh.. ' How on earth will I ever get Mary and Jim to let me use their backyard for my dream memorable wedding ?' Simple. The blame it on the economy. Who doesnt need to save nowadays and can use a little extra cash? Figure out the cost of table and chair rentals, and caterer and offer to pay mary and Jim for allowing you to use their backyard. Be generous. Offer to clean their house and pay for valet service to eliminate parking drama.

Dress to impress. Brides don't dress for themselves, they dress for their mothers and for their single friends so they could be filled with jealous rage. Remember to choose a dress that fits your body type. If the dress is to tight, believe me you'll be memorable alright. Make sure the dress is flattering and is a representation of you as a diva. A little bit of decollatage is okay, too much screams desperate for attention. Everyone is looking at you already, who cares about Barbie fake breasts, she's single and everyone is going to see her breasts eventually at some point in the evening. Don't wear hose. Wear
