A Ceremony on the 50-Yard Line

Elaine and Andy married on the field at Michigan's "Big House" -- the same place the couple had fallen in love watching football games together. How romantic!

A Stadium Reception
Sweet Little Photographs
Kristin and Jon had their reception at Penn State's Beaver Stadium -- those crazy kids!

A college mascot groom's cake is a totally memorable way to show off your spirit! We're guessing the groom is a Cal Bears fan.
Sign a School Jersey Instead!

How different would it be to have your guests sign a college jersey instead of a traditional guest book? Just remember, if you have guests who graduated from a rival school, you'd better be prepared for some playful banter!

By now, you've probably either heard about or seen Magic Mike. Talk about mood-setting entertainment for your bachelorette party! We rounded up seven movies with amazing male eye candy, starting with Mike -- put one or two of these flicks on while you're getting ready to head out for a night of dancing or spending a weekend away with friends for a good time.

Magic Mike
Channing Tatum shirtlessly takes a younger male stripper under his wing, all under the watchful eye of Matthew McConaughey (the strip club owner). Lots of shirtless synchronized flexing ensues. Need we say more?
How to survive a bachelorette party
Crazy, Stupid, Love.
Ryan Gosling doffs his shirt repeatedly throughout this movie, bless him. Keep your eyes peeled for the sauna scene with Steve Carell and his steamy conversation with Emma Stone. And as Stone's character points out, it's like he's Photoshopped.

Wearing a teal garter isn't the only blue option on your wedding day.

Floral Hair Clip
Nordstrom.com
A pretty way to inject some blue is with a romantic flutter of flowers in your hair. Go for a lighter shade, like this periwinkle blue, in flowy fabrics like organza and chiffon to keep with the whimsical vibe. Wear this colorful topper toward the back of your hair -- that way you'll have a hint of petals peeking out from the front and a cascade of blooms from behind.

Wedding dress mistakes not to make
Statement Earrings
Tejani.com
Brighten your entire style with crystal-blue dangling earrings -- the crisp and clean color feels elegant yet fresh. The teardrop shape is also incredibly flattering, especially on brides with round or oval faces (long earrings elongate the face). If you like the idea of statement earrings but are afraid of going too dramatic, wear your hair down to soften the look.

Okay, so we realize there isn't a crystal ball to tell us which celebrity couples will last. But with a little help from the zodiac, we thought we'd take a stab at it. From Miley Cyrus to Anne Hathaway, here are our astrology predictions for the most famous engaged couples.

The Bachelorette's Emily Maynard and Jef Holm
During the epic finale of The Bachelorette, Jef proposed to Emily with a $150,000 Neil Lane diamond ring (the most expensive ring in The Bachelor/Bachelorette history!).
Are they a match? Maybe. Emily Maynard is an Aquarius and Jef Hom is a Leo.
Emily and Jef's astrology reading: Leo is 180 degrees away from Aquarius in the zodiac, indicating that you two will either snap together like two jigsaw puzzle pieces or kill each other. There's no in between! Leo's generosity and sense of fun are good for you both, and Leo admires Aquarius's strong intellectual logic. One problem is that you're both fixed signs. This may mean that if
If you only have time to focus on one area at the gym, make it the one that will give you the most noticeable results.
By Doug Rice of Bridalicious by The Knot
Think about it: On your wedding day, all that fabric will be covering your legs. But your arms, shoulders and back will be on display the entire time. That's why resistance training that focuses on the bridal trifecta is key.
1. Collarbone Contouring
One of my top client requests is a defined collarbone, or, as some put it, "that dent." Your collarbone will show in gowns with or without straps, especially if you wear an updo.
Shoulder shaper: Tone this area with shoulder exercises such as an overhead press or upright row.

2. Arm Shaping
Your arms will be on display throughout your ceremony and reception (even pretty lace or sheer sleeves highlight your arms), so the last thing you want is to jiggle during the ring exchange or as you wave to guests during your big exit.
Arm shaper: Focus
