Move over cake pops, mini-pies and tiny ice cream cones and make way for the hottest new mini-sized treat…the Bantam Bagel!

These bite-size filled bagels are ideal wedding favors. They’re crispy, chewy, perfectly baked and filled instead of topped. Pictured above, The Wedding Cake Bantam (which I sampled and love!) is a vanilla cake bagel filled with a delicious chocolate buttercream cream cheese and it’s a perfect take-home treat for guests to enjoy.

There are a variety of other yummy bagel/filling combos to choose from such as the Everything bagel filled with freshly chopped vegetable cream cheese, the cinnamon raisin bagel filled with sweet walnut cream cheese or the pretzel bagel topped with sea salt crystals and filled with mustard and sharp cheddar cream cheese. And those are only three out of over a dozen delectable combos on offer. Located in New York City, Bantam Bagels delivers to nine states in the northeast so be sure to visit their site for more mouth-watering mini-bagel favor ideas for all your celebrations.

Clients always ask me how they can get flat, sexy abs. Most women think they'll need to do hundreds of sit-ups or crunches but in reality, achieving a toned midsection requires more than just abdominal exercises.

The abdominal muscles, along with your hips, buttocks, and back, are the muscles defined as your core. Developing your core muscles is vital to any long-term fitness program. In fact, a strong core improves your quality of life and supports the strengthening of your entire body. Strength from your core is needed in stabilizing your body during all activities and exercises — so save core-specific exercises for last.

Congratulations are in order for the new Mrs. Molner, aka Katie Couric, who tied the knot with her financier fiancé John on June 21 in East Hampton, New York!

The couple were married in an intimate backyard ceremony at Couric's home with 50 loved ones in attendance. E! News reports that close friend John Ellis had the honor of officiating. Molner's children (Allie and Henry), as well as Couric's daughters (Ellie and Carrie), performed the readings, and Carrie also sang at the event.

The 57-year-old global anchor of Yahoo News looked resplendent in her ivory beaded Carmen Marc Valvo gown, which featured an elegant high neckline. The groom, 51, helped narrow down her final choice. "I hope this isn't bad luck but I actually tried it on for him," Couric admitted to People. (BG brides, would you/did you show your groom your final dress picks before the big day?)

The reception was decidedly more traditional, with garden-gorgeous floral arrangements that included peonies, garden roses, and dahlias displayed in mirrored containers. On a sweet note, guests dined on a seasonal cake made with lemon thyme and strawberry sorbet.

Anthony Hanaee, an audacious 11-year-old from Michigan, challenged his father Shawn to a dance-off at his aunt's wedding in Farmington Hills, Michigan last month. Now the laugh-out-loud video has gone viral!

Shawn tells WXYZ Detroit that the spur-of-the-moment battle broke out after the bride asked him to do something to get the crowd going at the reception. His son grabbed the microphone and said, "Listen old man, I heard you used to be a good dancer back in the day...Can everyone please get off the dance floor?" As you can imagine, guests were more than happy to oblige.

Dad busted a move to classic songs including "The Twist," "U Can't Touch This," "Everybody Dance Now," "Tootsee Roll" and "The YMCA." His son took a more modern approach, breaking it down to top hits like "Turn Down For What," "Whip My Hair," "Teach Me How To Dougie," "Gangnam Style," "Single Ladies" and "Soulja Boy." 

So who won? You'll have to watch the hysterical video below to find out!

"I held back a little so Anthony could be in the spotlight, because what kind of dad would I be if I didn't," Shawn joked to WXYZ Detroit.

After my amazing shopping experience at Kleinfeld, I still needed be sure the dress I had found was the one, so I made an appointment to try on more dresses at Bridal Reflections in Carle Place, NY. It was a wonderful shopping trip, the staff was extremely helpful, and they had some great gowns — just nothing that was right for me.

My consultant Lisa was really great, if you go there I recommend asking for her. I tried on about 7 dresses and there were a few that I liked, but none made me feel how I felt when I put on the Mark Zunino gown that I fell in love with at Kleinfeld.

Here are a few of the gowns that didn't make the cut: 

I am beyond thrilled to announce that after leaving Bridal Reflections, I finally made my decision and went back to Kleinfeld to order my dress! I'm so happy that I confirmed that the dress I love is what I'm meant to wear when I marry Renne.

Now that I've finally found my wedding gown, I need to step up my game in order to be 100% happy with the way I look in the dress. I have been keeping up with my workouts, eating healthy, and losing more weight (not as quickly as I’d like), but I decided to try some new things to spice it up.

When the time was right, Alexander Serruys planned to propose to his longtime love Marieke on a beach somewhere during vacation. However, a Facebook post would forever change the course of this Belgian couple's "I do's," leading them to get married in a surprise wedding on an airplane! The craziest part: They weren't even engaged when they boarded the flight, so the proposal took place the same day, too.

Watch their incredible journey here (skip to the 3:12 mark to watch the proposal):

It all started on Valentine's Day, when Thomas Cook Airlines posted, "If you could marry your love on a plane, would you do it?" Serruys, a 24-year-old bus driver, commented, "Immediately!" Thus, preparations for the #FlightYes14 conspiracy began. The groom hid his phone when he was home and became tight-lipped in an effort not to slip up: "Yes, she did become suspicious of me. Bad start for a marriage!" he jokes.

With the help of the airline, he convinced Marieke, 20, that she and her sister won a free girls trip to Rhodes, and a camera crew would film their getaway. Forty of their closest friends and relatives boarded the plane and hid in the back until the bride-to-be arrived and took her seat in the front of the aircraft.

Close siblings share everything with one another: their joys, sorrows, support...and in the case of the Fortney family, even their wedding day!

Sisters Grace (23), Meagan (23), and Jessica (19), and brother Marcus (21) all tied the knot to their respective spouses on June 14. They each had their own half-hour ceremony at the St. George Utah Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, followed by a joint reception at a local ballroom with around 1,000 guests (yep, you read that right).

Yahoo Shine reports that the idea was set into motion after Marcus returned from a Mormon mission trip in Mexico and started planning his wedding with his longtime girlfriend. At that point, Grace was already engaged and Meagan and Jessica also began discussing the prospect of marriage with their significant others.

"With most families, this really wouldn't work, but thankfully, I have wonderful, wonderful sisters and a wonderful brother," Grace Fortney Weaver tells KSL-TV.

Their parents were supportive of their unusual plan: "There are few things that can compare to the fullness of joy that you feel when your children are happy," father Kevin Fortney said. 

Recently, we were honored to be a part of the judging panel for the third annual bridal gown design competition from the High School of Fashion Industries (HSFI), in partnership with Kleinfeld Bridal. The incredibly talented students created beautifully detailed gowns that were nothing short of amazing.

Last year, each student designed the dress she'd wear to her own wedding. This year, the students were asked to create a gown that represented their vision of what a woman should wear on her big day. From 40 sketches, the judges chose three finalists who then with the help of fellow classmates, brought their vision to life using fabric provided by Mori Lee.  Students also attended a master class beforehand at Kleinfeld from Dorothy Silver, Director of Sales and Merchandising.
