NEWS UPDATE: Good Morning America investigates Chinese-run wedding gown websites that sell knock-offs of famous dresses. Watch the video clip here.

Dress designer Mori Lee has issued a warning against buying gowns online from non-authorized retailers.

We've heard about many brides who try on a gown in a salon, then search the designer and style number online to find the dress at a lower price. What you may not realize, though, is that most websites claiming to sell designer dresses for less are actually selling counterfeit gowns.

What this means for you is that the look and quality will not be anything near what you just tried on in the salon. And even more importantly, these online stores tend not to stand behind their products, meaning that if you have a problem with the gown, they're not going to solve it. And since the dress is not from an authorized retailer, the designer is also not likely to correct the mistake.

Yesterday, thousands of runners participated in the New York City Marathon. One couple, Mary and Raymond Donaldson, didn't just run the race together—they got married in the midst of it!

At mile 22, with an officiant running along with them, the couple exchanged vows and rings. Then, they finished the race together.

The couple met while running, so Mary says it only felt right to get married while running. Their families were even able to watch from the sidelines as they exchanged vows.

Earlier this week, a video of Texas bride Ashley Richmond's wedding dance with her dad, David Sparks, went viral and was quickly hailed as the greatest father daughter wedding dance ever.

Their four-and-a-half minute routine started with a classic father-daughter song, "My Girl" by the Temptations. But before long, the pair launched into a hilarious—and impressive!—choreographed routine that cycled through 10 different songs, from Motown classics to Beyoncé.

We love how Dad looked a little nervous in the beginning, but then he really got into it!

It’s a good thing I was decisive when it came to finding Corey, the man of my dreams—choosing the dress of my dreams has proven to be much more challenging.

Let me start by saying that I’m a very practical person, which makes me a very tough shopper. Seeing veils for $200 and finding a dress that I loved, only to learn that alterations would cost $400 - $500, is pretty hard to compute. Wedding dress shopping by the numbers: Thousands of gowns (priced between $100 to tens of thousands of dollars), only five to ten dresses that you actually get to try on (if you're going by the standard recommendation), just one dress that’s “The One.” In a sea of white, there's a whole lot of green! 

Even if you're skipping the garter toss tradition, there's no reason you can't still wear one—especially when they're this gorgeous! Bleu Garters specializes in handcrafting keepsake garters from fine silk and antique lace. 

“A big trend I'm noticing is brides being more adventurous with color and not sticking to white/ivory/light blue," said Jaime Lawson, founder of Bleu Garters. "Don't get me wrong, the classics are still the most popular garters, but brides have also been ordering their favorite bright colors, as well as the black floral lace garters for their wedding day!”

Garters range from $60 to $120 at shopbleugarters.com. Here, some of our favorites from the new collections.

There are a thousand and one gajillon travel websites out there, and figuring out which one to trust can be a major time-suck. That’s where I come in. True story: I’m a mess when it comes to managing my miles. I know, I know, with the amount of flight time I do, you’d think I’d want to cash it all in for more rewards. Part of my problemo is that I rarely fly the same airline. The other excuse? Well, I’m not really sure about that answer. Luckily for those who are a little less organized than most type A-ers, there’s a new site that can streamline the process. PointHub.com not only helps you manage your miles, reward points, and other accumulative prize scenarios in a single spot; it also offers a side-by-side analysis of cash vs. rewards, so you can decide which is the best option for you.
