Incredible Proposal in a Romantic Helicopter Ride

When Jonathan Salama took out girlfriend Zuleth Telleria on June 10, she was in for the ride of her life.

Salama created one of our favorite proposal moments with the help of friends, family and a proposal planning service, The Yes Girls. And a helicopter, of course.

Check out the amazing video — we admit, we teared up a bit!

shot the couple as they flew over Huntington Beach, CA — the spot where they first became official three years prior. We especially love how Salama included his and Telleria's loved ones in the proposal while still having a romantic moment alone in the air. And how sweet are his hand-written signs?

We’re sure the duo must be flying high!

Top 10 Disney Wedding Photos

There's something about Disney that feels oh-so-magical, even as an adult. In honor of Lillian & Walt Disney, who tied the knot on July 13, 1925, we've highlighted our favorite photos of couples basking in Disney joy on their big day. Starting with...

Lillian & Walt Disney

The Disney founders celebrated their 30th anniversary in Disneyland a few days before the park's grand opening. Since Disney Fairy Tale Weddings first launched in 1991, another 40,000 couples have celebrated their nuptials in the parks.

 "We love Disney and fell in love at Disney so I cannot think of a better place to start our lives together," said Amber. "Oh, and the families did not mind the vacation either." We love how they stayed true to the playful theme of their wedding with matching, bright blue sneakers!

Here, Rosanna discusses how to find the perfect veil.

Wearing a veil is one of the oldest wedding traditions — and a fun one, too! A few weeks ago, we looked at short and sweet veils, and today, we're sharing some options for brides who prefer longer, flowy veils.

guide to veils

 

Keep in mind the following when shopping for your veil:

► Your veil should complement your look, not compete with it.
► Simple gowns will offset any intricate lace or beadwork on your veil.
► Heavily beaded or laced gowns look best with sheer or transparent fabric veils (silk chiffon, voile, or organza).
► A blusher, a single layer worn over your face during procession, can be added to any veil.

Now, onto the long veils!

Keeping the Romance Alive—Thousands of Miles Apart

For most couples, the first year of marriage is usually wedded bliss. As your lives begin to intertwine and mesh into one, it’s not uncommon to see the glow on a newlywed’s face, long after the honeymoon’s over. Although we did have one short week together after getting married, my husband Michael and I have had to experience the aforementioned bliss over the phone, not in person. Like many other military couples, we have to think of creative ways to keep the romance alive.

We talk as often as our schedule allows. However, it's difficult to find time because of our packed schedules and the nine and a half hour time difference (between New York and Afghanistan, where Michael is deployed). We try to talk about twice a week, but we send Facebook messages more often, almost every day. There’s nothing like seeing his number and hearing his voice, even if we have to deal with a three-second delay and lack of privacy on his end.

We’ve only seen each other once since he’s left. I learned more about his deployment during those two weeks we shared in New York than I had in six months of back-and-forth phone calls. There's something about being face-to-face that fosters a special type of intimacy where you open up and say things you just can’t during a 30-minute phone conversation. I won’t experience that again until he comes home for good in November.

Fun Ideas for Your Wedding Sendoff

We real brides are constantly planning ahead, painstakingly plotting all the grand details of our big day. One thing you definitely don't want to forget: The exit. I honestly don't know what Corey and I are doing for ours, because as a fun surprise, my mom is coordinating it! I can't wait to see what she has up her sleeve. Sure, it'll be tough to top a dramatic, long walk down the aisle for your entrance, but if you plan it right, the exit from your ceremony or wedding party can be just as memorable. Here are some romantic, funny, unique exit ideas we love.
