Did you miss Friday’s chat with the Reluctant Groomzilla? Or did you like it so much you want to read it again? Either way, we’ve got you covered. Check out the chat transcript to read Josh’s thoughts on bachelor parties, why some guys like wedding planning, and if he’s allowed to see his fiancée’s dress before the big day (apparently, the nuclear launch codes are less tightly guarded).

A rainy wedding at least makes for some cute photos.

Get married at sea.

Ivana Trump's April 12 wedding will be ridiculously lavish. Is anyone surprised?

The Wall Street Journal talks about the expenses of being a wedding guest.

Emily's bridesmaids will look like a million bucks—for about $130.

Another great idea to keep wedding costs down is one I thought up myself: bridesmaids. It just so happens that all of mine are extremely good-looking and very glamorous. With the seven of them lined up together inside a gorgeous church on (I hope) a beautiful August afternoon, it’s already going to be aesthetically over the top. And that’s without flowers or ribbons or candles everywhere. My best friends are actually doubling as decorations.

In picking out their bridesmaid dresses, I wanted something that looked great on all of them. As I said, they’re all drop-dead dazzling but, for instance, Jen is taller and Erin is shorter. Michelle is a redhead, Katherine is platinum, and Lindsey is a dark brunette. Natalie has fair skin, but Katie gets really tan.

I can’t even imagine a name with 67 characters—but if that’s the case at your wedding, don’t stress about fitting it all on a place card. A good calligrapher with a small pen can do almost anything, says Itsy Kliman of Calligraphy by Itsy. In yesterday’s chat, Itsy also answered questions about colored ink, the different fonts you can use to address invitations, and calligraphy-inspired wedding tattoos (that one, sadly, is still just a concept).

Meet the semifinalists vying to say their vows at the Made of Honor premiere.

Small cakes can be pretty, too.

Today I thought I’d share an easy way to save some money—especially for a large wedding, when cutting back on the number of guests just isn’t an option. You know it as well as I do: When you walk into a reception, your eyes go straight to the cake. Everyone wants to see what the bride and groom have chosen. The problem is, that cake of your dreams can get kind of pricey—whether it’s a “fancy cake by Leslie” or one from your local baker.
