Joe Biden's Daughter Weds!

ashley bidenAshley Blazer Biden, a social worker and the daughter of Jill Jacobs Biden and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., married Dr. Howard Krein, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, this past Saturday in Wilmington, Delaware. 

"This is the right guy," the VP told People Magazine about his new son-in-law. "And he's getting a helluva woman." 

Biden escorted Ashley, the youngest of his three children, down the aisle in the same church where she was baptized. She looked ravishing in a custom silk mermaid gown by Vera Wang, featuring trendy illusion sleeves and a hand-cut tulle and organza petal skirt. According to an interview with The News Journal, the bride kept the dress a secret to everyone except her mother and Maid of Honor, so that her famous father would be surprised.

'Devil Wears Prada' Character Takes the Plunge

revenge wears pradaOur favorite fashion underdog, Andy Sachs, will return to the bookshelves next April in Revenge Wears Prada, a sequel to the 2003 bestselling novel Devil Wears Prada. The former assistant at Runway magazine will be even more lovable this time around, engaged to a gorgeous man and editing the best bridal magazine in the country, The Plunge.

Author Lauren Weisberger will take readers through Andy’s life as an engaged, working woman (something that many of us can relate to). She works at The Plunge with best friend and one-time enemy, Emily, as she balances the glamour of planning her wedding with a demanding career. But it's not always picture perfect— Andy's soured relationship with her dreadful ex-boss, Miranda Priestly, continues to get in her way.

Revenge Wears Prada is expected for release in April 2013, exactly ten years since we all fell in love with the original. Until then, we can watch Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep in the movie rendition of Devil Wears Prada and hope for a sequel to that, too!

Tell us: Will you be reading Revenge Wears Prada? How do you balance work with wedding planning?

Incredible Underwater Trash-the-Dress Photos

Photographer Michael Harris captured these unique underwater bridal portraits that add an artistic touch to a trash-the-dress session. 

To snap the photos, both the photographer and bride fully submerged themselves in a pool while wearing weighted belts, which enabled them to take a few shots before resurfacing for some air. Throughout the two- to three-hour session, Harris captures 250-500 raw images.

"As you can probably guess, a lot of the images aren't usable. Bubbles coming out of her nose just don't look good," said Harris. "This, of course, is not for everyone. The bride needs to be very comfortable underwater, but when she is, it can be a very beautiful image."

Check out the photos, and let us know what you think!
