A Dress for the Very Special Bride...

We at Wedding Heckler are proud to bring you the bridal dresses so beautiful, so daring, so...special... that we have scoured the globe to present them to you.

This bright red frock is reminiscent of Cruella DeVille's cape and a bright red popsicle (both are very classy). The long sleeved gown means it's perfect for a winter wedding. What better way to stand out on your big day against the crisp, clean snow than to wear a hot red gown. It gives fire and ice a new meaning.

Brangelina Wedding Obsession...Day 1

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been Hollywood's hottest couple since they sent tongues wagging in Pitt's post-Aniston life. Since their newest project, their baby, is reportedly due May 2nd, news about an impending wedding increases every day. We at Wedding Heckler are suckers for a love story (or just a train wreck waiting to happen) so we introduce the Brad and Angelina Wedding Obsession. When will they become a blushing bride and groom? Well, we are here to inform you of all of the gossip about their maybe wedding. Enjoy!

The National Ledger is reporting that not only are these celebrities getting married, Madonna's boy toy Guy Ritchie could serve as Brad Pitt's best man. This reportedly came after a quiet dinner with the former Material Girl and her director hubby. (Nothing like an appearance by Madonna to keep the wedding a secret...you know how she hates attention.)

Additionally, Pitt has reportedly commissioned royal jeweler Alberto Repossi, the designer of Princess Diana's ring, to make the rock of a life time for the possibly future Mrs. Pitt. (Love may not be forever, but giant rocks are! Good thinking Brad.)

Biggest Loser Wedding...Tastes Great, Less Filling

The "Biggest Loser" on NBC is not just a reality show about losing weight; it's also about losing weight with the one you love. (Yeah, I love you but...you could be a little thinner...) Two finalists on the show, Rasha Spindel and Edwin Chapman, were married Saturday at the Waioli Tea Room in Manoa. The formally plump couple lost a combined 133 pounds then married in Hawaii. Though they don't appear to have given up sweets all together as shown in their wedding photo released to the press. Cheers!

Rocks Off, Strikes Back!

Though Nicollette Sheridan may be cuddling up with Michael Bolton these days (...again...why?) her former fiance, Nick Solderblom isn't quite ready to let the relationship go gracefully. In a recent interview with Britain's News of the World newspaper, the jilted former flame reportedly told the newspaper that things in the bedroom may not have been all fireworks. The gentleman he is, Solderblom told reporters, “Nicollette was a cold, hard, and very, very boring lover.” Geez, nothing like a former fiance scorned.

Groom Kidnapped By His Attorney on the Big Day

A good piece of advice for anyone: pay your attorney because some lawyers aren't forgiving. An attorney in Waco, Texas was arrested this week after allegedly kidnapping a client on his wedding day to try to collect fees from him. The tale started in April when Waco resident Rolando Castelan hired attorney Paula Allen. After a series of bond hearings, put up by his attorney, Castelan allegedly didn't show up causing a warrant to be issued for his arrest. He refused to turn himself in and then things got...weird.

Though the groom made it through the December 10, 2005 wedding ceremony, by the time the reception came around he was gone. As it turned out, the family called the police and explained that three "associates" appeared at the wedding and went up to the groom telling him he was 'arrested' then handcuffed him and took him away where they then drove around for several hours. They were having the groom contact family members to get the money he owed his attorney, around $20,000 (Note to self, don't publicize wedding if you are wanted by police or owe lots of money.) He managed to escape when his ex-wife came to "drop off" the money and he managed to jump into her car and they sped off. The attorney is currently out on $1,000 bond. As for the blushing bride left behind, after a two-hour delay, the bride decided to go on with the reception and cut the cake and visited with guests. Ah, the show goes on for Cinderella.

Til Death Do Us Part...Super Creepy Couple to Wed

Just from their names you know they were meant to be together. Thailand’s Scorpion Queen and Centipede King are planning a Valentines Day wedding. These two love birds met while performing at a snake farm. (Isn't that how Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson met?) The Scorpion Queen and Centipede King received their respective names because of the publicity stunts they perform with the creepy crawlers. The bride is Kanchana Ketkaew, a 36 year old who set a world record in 2002 for spending 32 days in a glass cage with 3,400 scorpions. The 29 year old groom, Bunthawee Siengwong - who set a Thai record for enduring 28 days with 1,000 centipedes.

Instead of having a nice and quiet wedding that would be strategically leaked to the press (like most c-list celebrities) they decided to partake in their own level of creepiness. The wedding will be, we kid you not, in a haunted house where they will both wear bloodstained wedding clothes and exchange wedding vows in a traditional Thai ceremony. (Ah, a wedding that would make the Munsters proud) Instead of the honeymoon suite after the elaborate ceremony, the two will 'consummate' the marriage in a coffin. But don't think they are doing this for nothing. The event is sponsored by Thailand's Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum.

The Wedding Year of the Dog

Happy Chinese New Year to all! Though it may seem unusual for a pseudo-wedding site to it, The Wedding Heckler has just learned that the new year, the year of the dog, is supposed to be the best year to get married.(If dogs were really mans best friend, he would tell them not to walk the plank!) The previous year, the year of the rooster, was considered to be a particularly unlucky year to get married so there may be a rush to the alter for some Chinese couples. The Wedding Heckler always welcomes any event that will bring on more occurrences of giant frosted cake disasters and feuding families. So, if any celebrities marry this year and divorce, it's their own faults. (We're so tired of them blaming their bad marriages on those delightful placemats at China One.) Cheers!

Cheapo Wedding Dress, Aisle 9

With the cost of weddings skyrocketing, its no wonder that some bridezillas are turning to supermarkets to fulfill their tiara filled dreams. Now in the UK, brides can pick up their 'designer' wedding gown at a supermarket chain for about $105! (see picture) The supermarket claims it can outfit a bride and groom for $350. (Green velvet jumpsuit anyone?) So now brides can spend more money on the important things, like more vodka for the bar!

Advice For the Wedding Brat

In this weeks search for Advice for the Wedding Brat we have scoured the World Wide Web for advice you can use. We are proud to bring you the answer to the age old question...What do you do when your 29 year old daughter starts acting like a 12 year old brat? Plus, she insists you spend the big bucks on a princess style wedding when you are eating Ramen noodles every night? (We always advocate throwing an even bigger tantrum in return...)These answers and more!

Sewer No Match For Wedding Ring

Alright, who hasn't flushed something of value down the toilet before? (Like our beloved office goldfish Mojo...RIP) For one Hartford, Connecticut woman it was a flush that broke her heart. About 5 months ago, Dolores Del Ciamp lost her husband of almost 50 years. She was holding on to her late husband's wedding band in a folded up tissue to take to be polished and...OPPS! She flushed it down the loo. But no fear! After 4 rejections from plumbers telling her it was gone forever (geez, is there no romance left in the plumbing industry) But Edwin Ruiz persevered by running a tiny camera through the pipes and finding the ring. Who said there aren't any more heros in the sewer? (Beat that Ninja Turtles!)

Rocks Off!

Rocks Off!
(When You Are Ready to Tell Your Spouse to Shove It)

Melrose Place wasn't meant to last and apparently neither was the marriage between two of its c-list stars, Josie Bissett and Rob Estes. After 13 years of a largely unnoticed marriage, the two have called it quits. ::sobs:: Is nothing sacred anymore?!? Though few details have been announced, Estes did comment that it was Bissett who asked for the divorce and he was against it. These comments came during the very secret and safe haven of the Television Critics Association meeting earlier this week. I smell a reality show in the making.

...and All We Got Was 20,000 Blenders

Some people just don't know when to stop inviting guests, (like the 500 plus wedding list of Donald Trumps most recent acquisition...I mean wedding in January of 2005.) Well, I guess this means Donald Trump will have to take another walk down the aisle to upstage this wedding. A Taiwanese parliamentarian saw his son's wedding not just a joining of two souls but the social event of the century. With a guest list of 20,000, larger than some towns, the reception was crowded into a stadium in the small coastal town of Shalu. Approximately 1980 tables with 10 guests each shared the intimate ceremony. This makes for the largest wedding banquet in Taiwanese history and one of the single most pointless displays of wealth outside of Las Vegas.

A Pirate Makes an Honest Fairy Outta Her....

Sandy Hager and Indi Mage didn't want an ordinary wedding. Nothing subtle or classic, just your traditional wedding of a fairy to a pirate presided over by Elvis. This magical wedding took place in a Capitola, California park witnessed by 200 people, many of whom the couple didn't know, they just liked the theme and dressed accordingly. (Nothing like sharing your special day with all the weirdoes in the neighborhood.) After vows were exchanged, everyone was invited to join in the love parade that ended at the groom's house for a barbeque. Tinkerbelle and Peter Pan were invited, but were unable to attend.

Outwit, Outplay, Outbride....$16,000 up for Grabs

Sometimes the cost of a wedding is just too much for some to think about. No worries. A Seattle area radio station (KLSY-FM) opened their hearts for public entertainment. The radio station held a Survivor style contest for brides-to-be worth $16,000. Seven contestants braved the elements of a shopping mall (gasps! The horror) and had to camp out in a display area. Though they may be blushing brides, without showers and little sleep, these brides could also be called grouchy and stanky. (Aren't those the names of dwarfs?) The final two made it by outwitting, forming alliances, and voting out the other five contestants. Though it may be a tough as nails competition, one contestant proclaimed "I feel like I made six friends." Or, six bridesmaids? Hey, there is always room for six more in the bridal party.

Rocks on...Rocks Off

Rocks On!
(Newly Engaged Couples Ready to Walk the Plank)

Brittany Murphy has reportedly become engaged to some guy! (Joseph Cacaluso) Joseph reportedly gave Ms. Murphy a 3-4 carat Tiffany diamond engagement ring. (Some rich guy!) They reportedly met on Brittany's forgettable 2004 movie 'Little Black Book' where he was a production assistant. This is the second time Britany Murphy has become engaged. Her first Rocks on! (and subsequent rocks off!) was to talent manager Jeff Kwatinetz that ended in May 2004. The serial dater Brittany has reportedly been linked in the past to Eminem and Ashton Kutcher pre-Demi. This time, we hope Brit finds happiness with some guy. Cheers!

We all remember Andie McDowell....right?!? Well, it looks like after two previous Rocks On!/Rocks Off! Andie has decided the third times is worth it. She is reportedly marrying the latest love of her life, a car salesman named Kevin Geagan.(Some guy!) This twice divorced mother of three met her future husband near her hometown in Asheville, North Caroline. Rocks on Andie! Cheers.


Rocks Off!!
(When You Are Ready to Tell Your Spouse to Shove It)
Sexy Baywatch lifeguard David Hasselhoff, aka Mitch Buchannon, is saying rocks off! to his wife of 16 years, Pamela Bach. No reason on why she agreed to marry Hasselhoff in the first place, but good news to all those German women, David 'the bod' Hasselhoff is back on the market...Now...not everyone rush at once, there is plenty of Hasselhoff goodness to go around.

For the Very Special Bride...

We at Wedding Heckler are proud to bring you the bridal dresses so beautiful, so daring, so...special... that we have scoured the globe to present them to you.

This daring number is for the bride who doesn't just want the perfect wedding cake, but they want to be it. In a sky blue this sassy number is sure to draw plenty of ooos and ahhs from the church as well as some smerks and a few smiles from some not so supportive friends and relatives.

For All of Those Grooms Feeling Left Out...

Jake Schraufnagel and William Easton, two students with a bright idea and lots of hope, recognized a hole in the wedding market. With the loads of bridal magazines, from Martha Stewart Weddings to The Knot, aimed at the blushing brides and their daddy's deep pocket, these two young men wondered, what about the grooms? These entreprenuers have started the first ever magazine for grooms-to-be. One can only wonder what groom tips can be in there. (I hope they address the stripper versus hooker debate that often comes up when planning a bachelor party.) The magazine named "Today's Groom" is on shelves now.

A Train Longer Than Some Marriages

A bride in China started off the new year with a record long train of 324.8 feet (99 meters) making it the longest train in the history of weddings in China. The bride needed 50 flower girls to carry the train just so she could move.(Now that's committment to the Cinderella dream!) The blushing bride and groom were happy to pose for pictures.

Internet Marriage: No Personal Contact Required

For every single person who dreads going out on first dates but would love to be married, an Indonesian couple may have the key to the future of dating and marriage.
Rita Sri Mutiara Dewi, from Bandung in Indonesia, and Wiriadi Sutrisno, who is currently living in California, initiated their courtship online. Though the two live on opposite sides of the world, that didn't mean for their January nuptuals required either of them had to get on a pesky plane and fly thousands of miles with screaming children. (Ah, the bursting of love combined with the laziness only an internet relationship can provide) The couple decided to marry the same way they fell in love, online. The ceremony lasted a respectable 25-minutes and was conducted using video phones and a web cam. This unconditional wedding cost a meare $21.30. The bride will fly to California to meet her new husband later this month. Who says love requires close personal contact?
