“Married at First Sight” is an extreme social experiment following six
brave souls who are yearning for a life-long partnership as they agree
to a provocative proposal: getting legally married the moment they first
meet.
There are 4 experts who play matchmaker and create 3 couples who will
never meet until their wedding day. The show follows them for 6 weeks
after their wedding and decide at that point whether to continue or
separate.
The show is on the FYI Network, an A&E channel. I'm always up for new wedding shows but this may be a little too extreme with the whole "arranged marriage" subject. What do you think?
SheFinds.com has an interesting slideshow with 7 Money-Saving Tricks No Bride Should Ever Resort To. Some of these are a no-brainer for most brides and grooms on a budget, but a few may have you thinking you can pull it off. Read on to find out why there are major pitfalls.

Being a Wedding DJ, Entertainer, and professional MC, my favorite one is the iPod DJ. The Shefinds.com article explains the basics well enough.
"Let’s be honest: iPod playlists are for pregaming and the gym. So leave
your wedding music to the professionals. First of all, there’s the
setup–you need someone experienced to take care of it. (Do you really
want a blown speaker during your first dance?) And even if having total
control over your playlist and avoiding the DJ cost sounds attractive,
give it some thought–you’ll also be giving up any sort of emcee for your
reception. And what happens when the crowd isn’t feeling your mix? A DJ
can adjust in real time–your playlist is pretty much set once you hit
play."

The hottest trend right now in Wedding Rings is stackable wedding bands. Unlike the traditional single wedding band, stackable wedding bands are made of multiple smaller bands that are worn in sets of two to four. They can be similar in design and style or each one unique that is styled to work well together. It's a fun way to add a little variety to the standard wedding ring.

HuffPost Weddings has a nice gallery of images available to browse through.
Would you wear stackable wedding bands or go for the more traditional single band?
With everyone nowadays having cell phones with Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, etc. on there, it's almost too easy to take a pic or post a comment. Which brings us to the topic of wedding etiquette and social media sharing at weddings.
The "Today Show" has an informative video interviewing wedding etiquette expert Amber Harrison of Wedding Paper Divas. As a Wedding DJ, I have seen many guests staring at their phones instead of enjoying the action.
Check out the video and let us know your thoughts on social media sharing at weddings.
