With less than five and a half months to go, Michael and I visited our jeweler last week to design our wedding bands. He opted for a solid platinum band, while I selected a platinum diamond eternity band with the same hand-carved leaf detailing featured on my engagement ring. I love that my ring has a classic design yet enough accents to make it entirely my own. Display your eternal commitment with a ring that is just as unique as the love you share for one another.

1. Think Pink

Love how bridal designers are infusing color into their gowns, but not sure if you could pull off pink on your wedding day? Embrace the trend by selecting a delicate pink gold wedding band, instead, like this 18k Cartier band set with a diamond. Priced at $800.

Gossip Girl's own royal wedding will air on Monday, January 30, marking the 100th episode. Check out this sneak peek at Blair Waldorf's walk down the aisle!

We already know that both Blair and maid of honor Serena van der Woodsen are wearing Vera Wang gowns, and the bridesmaids are wearing White by Vera Wang. What we don't know: Will Blair go through with the wedding, or will she become a runaway bride?

Last week, a favorite radio show of mine got together with Jad Mouawad, airline correspondent for The New York Times, to discuss airport security. Is it better in a post 9/11 world? Is it worse? Is it consistent? The segment was part of a larger series that looked at travel in today’s day in age (Interesting stuff; I suggest you take a listen!). As is fitting with the radio show, there were call-ins from listeners talking about their experiences with security. One thing that became totally apparent to me, your intrepid travel editor, is that there are a few things that no one really talks about when it comes to dealing with security. Without further ado, I present some of my totally important (and personal) observations about dealing with security.
