Well, as modern technology makes life more and more convenient, it was only a matter of time that they introduced the Bridal Diaper....
Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed....something stinks. In recent months, there has been increased internet chatter revolving around a "new" bridal fashion trend: The Bridal Diaper, an adult-diaper that creates an easier alternative to taking a pee-break during your wedding day.

Periodically, Real Detroit Bride's Guide likes to profile local businesses for you to find out more about them, and to give you a professional's opinion on the state of the wedding industry in the Detroit/Metro area. This time I talk with owner (and active DJ) John DeVergilio of JD Entertainment DJ & Video.
Today is Mother's Day, a day to honor a very special person (or people, if you
include grandma and stepmom!) in your life. Your mother will most surely be involved in your wedding, in some way, shape, or form, even if it is a remembrance and celebration of her legacy (if your mom has passed, here are some ideas to remember her and others that have passed on your wedding day.) The white wedding dress is perhaps the most symbolic part of today's wedding ceremony. Through different religions and denominations, each wedding is unique in its customs. And although the styles may differ, and color accents may be added, in most every modern wedding you will see the bride wearing a white wedding dress.
Thanksgiving has traditionally been a very popular time for weddings, as the holiday signifies many of the main ideals of a wedding: family, food, and giving thanks. If you are planning for a wedding for next year, here are some tips for having a creative and unique Thanksgiving-themed wedding.
WeddingPhotoUSA.com has some good tips to help with colors, and decorations. Check out these sites as well as suggestions for fall weddings by The Knot. It must be nice to live outside of the regular economy! Although the average wedding in the Detroit area is just over $28,000, according to Forbes, here are the 20 most expensive weddings.
The 2002 wedding of Liza Minelli and producer David Gest tops the list, with their total wedding budget coming in around 3 million dollars. Their cocktail hour featured a 60-piece orchestra and Tony Bennett. Michael Jackson served as the Best Man as Elizabeth Taylor was the Maid of Honor Cake has been a part of wedding celebrations since the Roman Empire. Back then, there wasn't even icing, and the common tradition was for the groom to break the bread over the top of the bride's head, to signify his dominance over her!
Many brides today spend an incredible amount of time and effort, in an attempt to make their wedding different, and as unique as possible. But every wedding has many of the same basic elements and traditions: the white dress, the best man/maid of honor, the wedding cake, etc. But where do these traditions come from? This time, we'll look at the Maid of Honor & Bridesmaid.
The Maid of Honor (or Matron of Honor if she is married) originally referred to the female attendant of a queen. Typically it is the bride's closest friend or sister. The tradition of the Maid of Honor (and Bridesmaids) is thought to have originated from Roman law, which required ten witnesses in order to outsmart evil spirits. These evil spirits were believed to be present at all marriage ceremonies. So the Bridesmaids would all dress in identical clothing to the bride and groom, so that the evil spirits would not know who was getting married. It's fairly common to tie holidays in and around your wedding celebration: 4th of July weddings, for example, will often have red, white & blue accents as well as fireworks or sparklers. The same holds true this time of year, with Halloween fast approaching. Looking for some good ideas for a Halloween-themed wedding?
Right behind "what is the meaning of life?" comes another age-old mystery: "Why do people feel the need to have raunchy bachelor/bachelorette parties?" This topic has polarized both men and women for many years. But really, what are people thinking?
