The long-awaited conclusion of How I Met Your Mother may have been polarizing, but if there's one thing we can all agree upon, it's that Tracy's wedding dress (aka "The Mother") was legen — wait for it — dary. After being teased with flash-forwards for 208 episodes, it was beyond satisfying to see Mr. Mosby walk down that aisle, even if it took him five years after proposing to Tracy to finally do it. (Lily's toast summed it up best: "here's to a man with more emotional endurance than anyone I know.")

Our favorite moment: When Ted saw Tracy in her wedding dress for the first time at MacLaren's Pub, he almost lost it! Their nuptials take place years from now, so the show's stylist, Reiko Kurumada, wanted a timeless look á la Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy that would still hold up in the future. We found a gorgeous simple gown in the vintage section of a costume house… The dress fit​ her perfectly. No alterations needed at all. It was meant to be!” she revealed to E! Online.

Small changes can yield huge results. Try one new thing each day in April.

1. The Rose Challenge
Buy yourself a rose, and when the petals begin falling, do a squat to pick each one up (or, better yet, take off all the petals at the end of the day and squat to pick up each one).

2. Be Adventurous With Your Omega-3s
For dinner, cook a type of fish you've never had before. 

3. Play the "Fiancé" Game 
Every time that someone says "fiancé," do a posture check. Make sure you're standing up straight with your body aligned.

4. Let Go of Stress 
Every time that you say "fiancé," drop your shoulders from your earrings (all of that wedding-planning stress tends to strain your shoulder and neck muscles). 

5. See Yourself in the Best Light
Make sure that the mirror you use most frequenty is a flattering one with good lighting (your mental perception of yourself can do wonders).

6. Double Up on Veggies
Eat two different types of vegetables with lunch and dinner.

7. Hungry or Just Thirtsy? 
Put a 16 oz. glass of water in your fridge. Every time you open the door, drink the water before you eat anything. 

8. Think Beyond Apples
Buy and eat an exotic fruit that you have never tried.

Proposing in a ballpark doesn't mean you need Kanye's unlimited budget (he reportedly spent $200,000 to rent out AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants, for his proposal to Kim Kardashian). 

In celebration of MLB's Opening Day today, Swimmingly contacted all 30 MLB teams to find out what they charge for a public proposal. Some highlights:

The Least Expensive: Proposing during a Pittsburgh Pirates game will set you back just $39 for a message displayed on the scoreboard. 

The Most Expensive: For $2,500, you can have your proposal featured live on the video board during a Los Angeles Dodgers game (or, for $75, you can simply have a message displayed on the scoreboard).

On-Field Proposal: The Cleveland Indians are the only team that offers an on-field proposal on game day; for $400, you can pop the question on Progressive Field during one of their 15 games that feature post-game fireworks.

Following Depp's proposal to actress Amber Heard, his fiancée hasn't been the only one spotted wearing a diamond ring — the Pirates of the Caribbean star has been sporting one as well. When questioned about the engagement while promoting his latest film, Transcendence, earlier today in China, he replied, "The fact that I'm wearing a chick's ring on my finger is probably a dead giveaway. Not very subtle."

So is the star actually trying to start a trend of men wearing engagement rings? Not exactly. Turns out, the ring he originally purchased for Heard was too big; but instead of getting it resized like a regular person, he decided to buy her a new ring and wear the original ring himself (stars... they're just like us).

Tell us: Would you want your fiancé to wear an engagement ring?

The Broke-Ass Bride's Wedding Guide empowers couples with the simple philosophy that it's not about how much you spend but how you spend it. As author Dana LaRue says, "You're only planning a party, so have fun with it." You don't need to give up your savings, the possibility of a downpayment on a house, or your sanity to plan a celebration that is meaningful and inspired. Here, Dana shares her advice on sticky subjects to consider before asking someone to be in your bridal party.

Despite the fact that there is no right or wrong, there are some possible pitfalls to be on the watch for when you’re selecting your wedding party. It can’t be sunshine and unicorns all the time, friends.

Every couple wants their wedding to be unique, but with the abundance of inspiration and sites like Pinterest, it can be challenging to really mix it up. With that in mind, below are a few of the most innovative details I have seen over the past year.

1. The Not (Even Close To) White Wedding Dress

A lot of brides are starting to play with color by experimenting with blush tones and light grays, but this bride really pushed the enveloped in this stunning Monique Lhuillier. To keep the look "bridal," she kept her hair and makeup classic and selected a simple veil for the ceremony.

2. Flower Power

After the "I dos," guests are often handed rice or, more recently, bottles of bubbles to shower the newly-married couple as they walk back down the aisle. This couple decided to let their guests sit back and relax as thousands of rose petals were blown out of cannons across the ceremony site!

In honor of April Fools' Day, unleash your inner prankster by playing one of these innocent tricks on your wedding guests. 

Q. "I have a 7-month-old baby and am getting married this June. I am still desperately trying to lose weight before then. I just read your workout for arms, which I can do at home, but it also mentioned running four times a week for thirty minutes. I am in the military with a baby and I barely have time to do anything for myself; is there a cardio that I can do at home for 30 minutes? I just want to look somewhat normal in my dress!” —Samantha B.

A. First of all, all brides are beautiful, and you will look better than “somewhat normal” in your dress! But I have the ideal solution for you as a busy mom: Jump rope. Using this one piece of equipment is a fantastic way to burn calories and lose weight, and you can jump rope at your own level of intensity for any length of time almost anywhere. In fact, in only 15 to 20 minutes, you can elevate your heart rate, work up a major sweat, and get an overall energy boost. It's a complete cross-training workout that combines elements of cardiovascular and endurance training with muscle strengthening. While you probably know how great jumping rope is for shaping the calves, glutes, and quads, what you may not realize is that the constant turning motion of the rope will also tone your upper body.

Q. On our engagement party invitations, is it appropriate to let guests know where we are registered?

A. Registry information should never be included on engagement party or wedding invitations. Stores or websites where you’re registered should only be mentioned on bridal shower invites. However, since it’s likely that some guests will want to bring gifts to your engagement party, it’s OK to let your friends and fam- ily know where you’re registered in case they’re asked. Also, keep in mind that it’s best to open any gifts you receive in private — after the festivities — and don’t forget the thank-you notes!

March 19th began as just another rainy, dreary workday for Megan Zahorec. The 27-year-old counselor at Greentown Intermediate school, in North Canton, Ohio was anxious about leading the quarterly fire drill that morning since she was still relatively new there. Even when the red fire truck pulled up and she spotted her boyfriend, firefighter Justin Deierling, climb out, she was too distracted by the duty at hand to realize the incredible reason why he was there. That is, until hundreds of students began screaming — when she finally looked up, she saw a banner that read "Ms. Z, will you marry me?"

“I was so surprised but I didn’t even have to think about it [accepting the proposal]. Just two months after being with him I couldn’t imagine life without him," the bride-to-be tells ABC News.

Watch her and the children's heartwarming reactions here!

Deierling had been secretly working on the proposal for two weeks with the help of the PTO president and the school principal. He met his now-fiancée six months earlier, while volunteering at the fire station and participating in a walk-a-thon that the school hosted.

"I knew instantly that she was someone special by the way that she interacted with the kids. I wanted to incorporate how we met and the kids, who she adores, into the proposal," he tells The Huffington Post. His brother, Adam, filmed the special moment and uploaded it to YouTube, where it has since gone viral.
