The worst day of Brandi Kaufman's life was also the day she met her future husband. Firefighter Dustin Blair not only saved Brandi's life after a fatal accident, but he gave her a reason to live again. Grab some tissues because their incredible love story is sure to bring tears to your eyes.

On March 29, 2012, Brandi Kaufman, her 18-year old younger sister Stephanie, and her sister's friend Savanah Pierce decided to go for pizza a few miles from home. Brandi was worried that the used car that their mother had recently purchased was unsafe but Stephanie assured her it was fine and insisted on driving. Just minutes later, their car slammed into an embankment and slid 15 feet off of the road. Savanah was killed on impact and Stephanie was left unconscious and covered in blood.

When firefighter Dustin Blair arrived on the scene, he ran to rescue the girl who was still trapped in the car. Every time Dustin and the paramedics moved Brandi, she would scream and resist their rescue efforts. "It was clear she was in terrible pain — she was whimpering, Dustin told Cosmopolitan, and then when I touched her, she started cursing at me. It took time, but I finally managed to place a plastic C collar on her neck to stabilize her spine and head. I had no idea where her injuries were and knew I had to protect her spine in order to prevent further injury. Once she was secure, the other guys pried the door open. That felt like forever."

Monique Lhuillier fans are in luck — now you can nab one of the designer's romantic, effortlessly chic gowns at a more affordable price point! She recently debuted her BLISS Spring 2015 Collection, which consists of 14 styles starting from $2,800.

According to the official look book, this capsule collection was inspired by "a femininely elegant youthful bride" and it caters to every body shape, "from stunning trumpet-shaped gowns to ethereal sheaths to whimsical ball gowns." We love modern touches like subtly-infused colors and cascading hemlines. Detachable tulle trains, along with matching veils and belts, are available at an additional cost.

BLISS is available at select Nordstrom locations as well as the designer's flagship stores in New York and Los Angeles. Browse the entire collection here:

Style BL1522
Show off your shape in this timeless lace trumpet gown.

Style BL1508
A hint of blush? Check. Sweetheart neckline? Check. Full tulle skirt? Triple-check. This asymmetrically-draped dress caters to the girlie-girl at heart.

As much as we love interactive stations, creative photos and personalized touches galore, the "fun" factor of any wedding really boils down to just one question: Did guests break it down on the dance floor? Just ask this grandpa, who unwittingly became an Internet sensation after tossing his crutches and showing us all how it's done!

Skip to the 1:27 mark to see how he gets not one, but two ladies to join in the fun. Now that's what we call commitment.

This wedding video was originally uploaded on Facebook and is believed to have originated from Peru. The poster captioned it "eternamente joven," which translates to "forever young." We'll have whatever he's having, thanks!

The biggest wedding-planning challenge that my fiancé Jesse and I have encountered is choosing a location. We're currently debating between getting married in the central coast of California (which is our home), or Ireland (which was the first trip we took together). 

First, we threw around the idea of tying the knot in Ireland and making a vacation out of it. In addition to the beautiful scenery that you simply cannot get here in California, it's a special place for Jesse as he has traveled there a number of times to learn more about his family ancestry. Celebrating his family roots and introducing my loved ones to this amazing country would make for a memorable event.

If you’re looking for a totally unique and fun way to set up your wedding registry then you’ll love this new site I recently came across, Blueprint Registry. According to Blueprint’s creator, Lizzy Ellingson, a recent bride who found her own registry process a bit "uninspiring," this innovative site "allows the couple and their guests a birds-eye view into the home and what’s needed room-by-room."

I love the visual experience this site provides. Blueprint is the first online wedding registry that allows couples to create a customized wish list based on the layout of their home. Now you can better assess and picture your needs as you shop room by room. How cool is that!
