One groom tells BRIDES the top 10 secrets he'll never tell-at least not until after the wedding.
1) He wants to register for one item on his own, even if he never uses it.
2) He cares about the music so much, he'll pay the DJ a bonus to not play "Celebration."
3) He has inexplicably developed a sixth sense: When the phone rings, he knows it's your mom. He'll start answering the phone again after the wedding.
4) He worries he won't look half as good in his tux as the little man on the cake does.
5) He liked taking dance lessons but wishes they'd included the funky chicken.
6) He will be nervous about his hair and may reach for the mousse. Don't let him.
7) He wants you to take his name, no matter what he says. Unless your name is Springsteen, in which case he'll take yours.
8) He never wants to know which friend gave which gift at your lingerie shower.
9) He doesn't want to write his own vows. He really likes the ones in the book.
10) He's as

Bizarre wedding dreams are almost universal among engaged women. BRIDES magazine got experts to decipher the most common scenarios and symbols.
Scenario #1: You're naked at the altar.

It can also mean that you're still coming to terms with the changes marriage will bring. "This dream is typical of someone who's embarking on an enormous change," says Gillian Holloway, Ph.D., a psychologist and author of The Complete Dream Book of Love and Relationships. "It can reflect that you're feeling vulnerable." If your dream-self isn't embarrassed about being naked, though, relax. This can mean you're at peace with both the attention and the upcoming life changes.
Scenario #2: You're missing something.
When a bride dreams that something critical is absent at the wedding, it often means that something's missing in her life,

New York dermatologist Macrene Alexiades explains how to determine your skin type-once and for all-so you know how to get the right products for your face.
DRY Your face feels dry to the touch, and when you blot, no oil comes off on the paper. Other indicators: Your skin becomes parched after washing, and you observe tiny flakes if you skip moisturizing.
Product for you: Try SK-II Skin Signature Melting Rich cream. It contains pitera, a pricey softening ingredient derived from sake yeast; http://www.sk-ii.com/
OILY If your skin is moist after washing, feels supple even without moisturizer, and gets shinier as the day progresses, chances are it's oily. When you blot with paper, you may even see the oil.
Product for you: Mario Badescu's Special Mask for Oily Skin ($18). It has calamine, which acts as an astringent; http://www.mariobadescu.com/

We asked real brides to share their best budget-trimming tricks. Here's what they said!
We called a local art college and asked the staff to recommend a photography student for our wedding. The guy we chose had won awards, was eager to please, and charged thousands less than many of the professionals we considered.

We got married in a villa in the Dominican Republic. The villa chef prepared the meal-a resort would have charged far more. And since it was a destination bash, the guest list filtered itself. Brilliant!

Instead of hiring a DJ, we asked five musically inclined friends to do it in shifts. I sent them a list of must-plays and do-not-plays, and the rest was up to them. We used Google Docs so they could submit proposed playlists, and bought inexpensive DJ software to ensure that the music sounded professional. They were a hit-and they totally felt like rock
