Brit and Drew are both huge hockey fans. So what better way to celebrate their wedding than on the ice? The couple came up with the idea while watching a typical "Hockey Night" in Canada and wondering aloud if it'd be cool to get married on a rink.

Brit is an event planner, so she jumped at the idea and put the plans into motion. Guests were given rally towels (and were warned to dress warm!), and the bride, groom, and bridal party all donned skates. The bride and Dad skated down the aisle, and after the rings, the happy couple showed off their skating skills.

"After we did our rings, we did the ceremonial puck drop, we did our first kiss and then skated out to the Oilers goal horn and goal song," Brit told Yahoo! Sports.

Each week, we feature music recommendations from Scratch Weddings, the nation's leader with the best wedding DJs at affordable prices. This week's post comes from DJ Jon Blak, whose client list includes Beyonce, Jay Z, Jermaine Dupri and Ryan Leslie. He describes his style as "retro/future”, a seamless blend of old and new that translates well to wedding guests of all ages. "I love the challenge of crossing genres and generations and playing a diverse mix that's totally seamless. At the end a wedding, I'd like the bride and the groom to be exhausted from dancing!" Jon is known infusing any event with energy and cool, while always keeping the client's musical preferences front and center in his music selection.

The work starts before the wedding; I try to get an idea the bride and groom’s musical tastes while also getting a sense of what family and friends will enjoy.

Let’s face it: Boys need help. I think I’m surprising no one here when I say that, although we love them, oftentimes the men in our lives don’t have it all going on sartorially. Ditto for the wedding vibe. I mean, you may be super into choosing the flowers, signature cocktails and first dance song, but if your guy is anything like mine, chances are, all he wants to know is if there will be beef and lobster, a nicely malted whiskey, and if he can wear flip flips to the rehearsal dinner (in our case the answer was “yes!” on all points).

While I’m sure you’ll answer every one of your lovely husband-to-be’s wedding related Qs, there may be a few times that you just don’t have time—hello! This bash won’t plan itself. And that, my dear brides, is where the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London comes in.

Every year, Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings hosts more than 1,000 weddings. But the 11 weddings taking place on November 11 will be the first time that the number of weddings coincides with the wedding month, date, and year. 

“Our couples have always loved sequential number wedding dates and we are already beginning to hold space for 12/12/12,” said Korri McFann, Worldwide Marketing & Business Development Director, Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons. “Couples have even moved venues to make sure their wedding stays on one of these very special dates.”

Some of my favorite dresses of the season featured sparkling bodices. These shimmering styles evoked a vintage deco feel while still captivating a modern bling appeal. When accessorizing one of these twinkling stunners, choose vintage inspired jewelry to complete your look and give you that Hollywood starlet feel.

In my years covering Hollywood, now with Entertainment Tonight, I’ve seen some spectacular weddings. My own tastes, however, run a little simpler. When Keith and I were married in June 2005, we kept it to just family and a few very close friends. That was part of a conscious effort I made to keep focused on what’s important to Keith and me.
