Tip of the Day: "The ceremony flies by so fast; you have so much energy and excitement about it, and suddenly it's over before you know what happened.

What an incredible moment as a hail storm brewed in the background!
Surprise! After months of playing coy about their relationship status, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis finally tied the knot in a top-secret wedding over Fourth of July weekend. (Rumors began swirling when Kutcher, 37, signed a New Year's Eve Facebook post with "The Kutchers." And in March, Kunis, 31, added fuel to the fire during an appearance on The Late Late Show by responding "maybe" when asked if she was married.)
If you're attending a wedding this summer, you've likely faced the common gift-giving conundrum: how much should you really give? While your personal relationship with the couple and your household budget should be your primary guides on how much to spend, Tendr, a site that makes it easy (and fun) for guests to give you cash gifts, compiled valuable information about monetary gift-giving trends.
It's simple to throw the wedding of your dreams when you don't have to worry about pesky little details like "the budget" — that's why we love looking to celebrity weddings for inspiration.

Tip of the Day: "The number of brides I hear lamenting about how much their feet hurt is way too high. Sometimes, their pained expressions will even come through in the photos," says William Petruzzo from Petruzzo Photography, a member of Professional Photographers of America. Most photography shots completely conceal a bride's feet, so you can easily avoid an uncomfortable situation by changing into flats for the most active portions of your wedding.
"The more comfortable you feel, the more relaxed you'll be. You'll also enjoy a lot more mobility in flats, particularly during the formal photos, where traveling off the beaten path might be an attractive option," he says.
