Wedding Insurance:Cheaper than Bail, Bounty Hunters, and Karate Lessons
>Let's face it, no matter how severely Bridezilla reprimands that rainstorm, even she cannot always cajole the perfect weather on her wedding day. And no matter how many exclamation points she inserts into her online travel reservation, she cannot ensure that the honeymoon flight will be on time. Rather than standing around shaking a fist and grumbling "whyioughtaa" to the sky, just buy some wedding insurance and show those unforeseen events who's boss!
Don't think of wedding insurance as another annoying pile of papers. Think of it as your personal attorney, advocating in writing when you're hoarse from screaming. The good news is, wedding insurance is surprisingly much cheaper than an attorney, running from $125-500 for some plans, and can cover all of the following:
Wedding Dress Damage-Wedding insurance can cover a repair or replacement wedding gown and tux if the baggage goes AWOL or the Best Man gets fall-down drunk all over your Monique Lhullier at the rehearsal dinner.
Lost Deposits-Bridezilla has been hearing many disturbing reports about fraudulent vendors cheating brides out of deposits and such, going bankrupt, or just not showing up. Wedding insurance reimburses those deposits and saves you from having to hire a bounty hunter named Moose. Bonus!
Lost Rings-If the canary diamond goes down the drain after a particularly woozy bout of Chardonnay drinking with the bridesmaidzillas, you don't have to buy a fake to hide it from the groom. Wedding insurance can help replace or repair your precious rock if you lose it-or if that cushion diamond turns out to be cubic zirconia. Yikes!
A few more things wedding insurance can cover includes botched transportation, ruined photos, a groom or bride called to duty, or sudden illness. Remember, the average bride hopes for a perfect wedding day, a Bridezilla insures it. Get a free estimate on wedding insurance and guarantee a blissful wedding day is in the bag.
Cool Wedding Sites in Crappy Towns, Part Trois
The third installment of our Cool Wedding Sites in Crappy Town Series proves that Bridezilla doesn't have to travel across the pond to feel like a princess. This fairytale castle brings back the magic of Medieval Times. Unlike with Cinderella's castle at Disney World, there's nothing tacky or cliche about this locale. It is truly a dream come true for a Renaissance-themed wedding.
Without further ado....
"Repunzle, Repunzle let down your hair." This castle, built in 1892 was the home of Charles and Kate Eisenbeis. A picturesque English rose garden, white-capped mountains, and a beautiful bay comprise the storybook surroundings. The library, with it's lavish drapery and rich wood-paneled walls evokes Victorian times. And every bridezilla will picture herself entertaining rich society types in this castle's banquet hall. Best of all, the honeymoon suite is cradled within the tower and boasts incredible views. Now that's room service!

The Five Shortest Celebrity Marriages (and Big Celebrity Wedding News)
Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds married this weekend in a small private wedding outside Vancouver, British Columbia. When previously asked about her engagement, Scarlett told reporters , "I mean, I'm 23. There's no reason to rush into it. Everything feels very natural and relaxed." Come again, Scarlett?
Truthfully, we are a little disappointed in Scarlett. All we wanted was to see her walk down the aisle in a vintage Valentino gown. Is that too much to ask? And we had her pegged as a bridezilla!
These days, it seems that celebrities prefer lackluster to lavish. No paparazzi. No castles. No helicopters. Yawn. For the love of bridezilla, please give us a glimpse of your gown or flowers or something. Your entire career was spent in the public eye and now you want a private moment - please.
What are the odds that Scarlett's marriage outlasts the other celebrity marriages? She's young, beautiful, and a major star - with these characteristics, it's not looking good. Convinced she'll stay married until those golden locks turn gray? Maybe our list of the shortest celebrity marriages will change your mind.
Britney Spears and Jason Alexander - When Britney was in her hey-day, everyone wanted to see her walk down the aisle. And some of us, admittedly, wanted to see her marry Justin Timberlake. Instead, she eloped with a no-name (Jason Alexander) in Vegas and stayed married for a whopping 2 days and seven hours. Bridezilla hint: impulsively buying chocolate ice cream is fine, impulsively picking a partner for life is not. Total time married: 2 days and seven hours.
