Grief is rarely simple to navigate. A daughter’s wedding date turned into a flashpoint for one family’s unresolved pain and raw emotions. A particularly painful question has been raised by the decision to have a happy event on a date that has already been marked by tragedy: was the daughter wrong to pick that day, or is the mother at fault for being open about the consequences? A close-knit family was devastated by a terrible accident about two years ago. A terrible car accident claimed the lives of a mother, a brother, and a nephew. The brother and his young…

The public was immediately enthralled with Julian McMahon and Australian pop sensation Dannii Minogue after their January 2, 1994, marriage. They were both young, unquestionably attractive, and engaged in two distinct but demanding professions. While Julian, the son of Australia’s former Prime Minister Sir William McMahon, was turning his attention to the U.S. television market, Dannii had already established herself in the British entertainment industry. Despite its glitzy appearance, their marriage was tainted by disconnection, which would become painfully obvious over time. Given their incredibly hectic schedules, it was hardly surprising that the couple separated a little over a year…

By creating dresses that are as structurally stunning as they are emotionally stirring, Vera Wang has consistently transformed bridal fashion. Her style is still incredibly successful at capturing elegance and reinventing bridal femininity after more than three decades of continuously inspiring designs. Brides who don her creations frequently talk about an inexplicable sensation—like transforming into a completely unique but marginally more radiant version of themselves. Following her own exasperating search for the ideal wedding gown in 1989, Wang took that difficulty and turned it into a momentous occasion for the industry. With a very distinct vision, she defied established bridal…

Sophia Loren’s wedding dress from Houseboat, a high-necked masterpiece with petticoats, a detailed soutache overlay, and a sophisticated bow at the back, is still one of the most beautifully remembered wedding dresses in cinema. The dress, which was made for her part as Cinzia Zaccardi, perfectly combined Italian elegance with American movie glitz to represent a time of romantic idealism and sophisticated femininity. The dress, which was remarkably successful in reaffirming Loren’s image as poised and nurturing, evolved from a costume into a symbolic piece for a woman rediscovering her identity and purpose. The impact of that 1958 dress has…

At her son Jake’s wedding, Coleen Nolan exuded such pride that the celebration was so incredibly emotional that it reverberated well beyond the picturesque field where it was held. Coleen was the epitome of style, dressed in a floor-length John Charles gown with a vivid green daylily print. Her ensemble was further accentuated by a matching leather bag, white open-toe shoes, and a floral shoulder accent. Despite being fashionable, her choice was more than just a style statement. It was evidence of a woman stepping into a new phase of life with grace, one in which happiness, family, and legacy…

With a grin that was unmistakably on her face, Lisa skydived into the ceremony space, her gown soaring like a parachute under the clear Swan Valley sky. Josh, dressed as a devil with horns and a tail, was standing excitedly next to a bouquet of broccoli below. It wasn’t satire. This wedding was authentic. One that the whole city of Perth came up with, created, and broadcast via Mix 94.5’s radio waves. Amazingly, it did the trick. The team behind Mix 94.5’s “The Wedding YOU Built” produced something especially unique by working closely with listeners—an occasion that transformed a public…

Not only was Ron Swanson following wedding protocol when he stood quietly next to Typhoon in the last episode of Parks and Recreation, but he was also redefining a beloved character through quiet devotion. One of television’s most strikingly successful attempts at subdued inclusion is that scene, in which Ron plays best man at the wedding of his flamboyant hairdresser Typhoon and the dramatic Craig. Applause and glitter were unnecessary. It required presence. And with his characteristic stoicism, Ron gave it. The actor who played Ron, Nick Offerman, recently brought this moment back into the public eye by directly responding…

The bridegroom’s mother enters a subtly potent space on a day filled with emotion, style, and countless photos. The bride is the subject of much of the visual storytelling, but the groom’s mother now finds her place—not in the background, but in the spotlight. Her hairstyle, which has been significantly influenced by identity and intention, is now a celebrated continuation of this moment. Mothers seeking to achieve that elusive balance—classic yet modern—have been consulting bridal stylists in droves in recent days. Enhancing what already feels right is more important than completely reinventing oneself. The most striking styles aren’t forced; they’re…

Ignore weather alerts and storm tracking apps. In an unexpectedly widespread wedding superstition, brides are being advised to bury raw sausages and dig holes in the hopes of sunny skies. After giving it a try, people are becoming ardent believers, despite the scoffing of meteorologists. Despite its peculiar appearance, the practice is becoming more popular for one straightforward reason: it is lighthearted, optimistic, and possibly incredibly successful. The sausage has significant culinary and cultural significance and is rooted in German traditions. The buried sausage serves as a peculiar talisman in pre-wedding customs, ostensibly shielding the ceremony from rain clouds. This…
