Kristen and Paul met at a house party thrown by some mutual friends where Paul—whose self-assuredness impressed Kristen—asked for a date the following weekend. Three and a half years after that first dinner at Hank’s Oyster Bar, they were engaged in Paris. Their September wedding began with a ceremony at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation on Capitol Hill (officiated by Kristen’s pastor of nearly 30 years), and culminated in a reception at the InterContinental on the Wharf.

Paul’s favorite part was the indoor fireworks that lit up their first dance photos and added excitement to the evening; one of Kristen’s favorite parts was the inclusion of pennies hidden in each of the bouquets—a nod to a tradition she’s had for years in which whenever she sees a penny, she writes down the date and time, what she’s thinking about, and what she’s grateful for. For decor, they took inspiration from vineyards and the outdoors, combining natural elements such as fruit (plums, figs, and berries) and greenery with candlelight for a romantic, getaway-in-the-city vibe. Following the reception, the newlyweds hosted their guests for an afterparty at Kirwan’s pub nearby. See all the details below.

When planning their wedding in 2023, Cara and Matt envisioned all their closest friends and family there to celebrate with them. But it was only once the ceremony began that they realized there was one unexpected guest present, who would later become part of the family.

The couple, from New York City, got married on September 15, 2023, but during the outdoor ceremony, the uninvited guests made themselves known. Members of the bridal party and the groomsmen started laughing when they heard loud meowing coming from behind the altar, and soon enough Cara, 30, had to ask them what was going on.

Cara, who doesn’t wish to disclose her full name, told Newsweek that “it felt like such a sign” that the cat appeared at her wedding, and she knew “this was all meant to be.” As soon as she was told that they had an extra guest in attendance, Cara spotted the cat “perched on a tree stump” with a perfect view of the event.

“Neither Matt nor I heard the cat meowing during the ceremony as we were so focused on each other, but we did hear others laughing,” Cara said. “I could maybe ignore the laughter, but

A stray kitten was adopted by an adorable couple after she interrupted their wedding last year.

Cat owner Cara racked up over 3 million likes after posting a video of her meow-filled wedding ceremony on TikTok. The wedding was held at Curry Estate in Hopewell Junction, New York in September 2023.

The video shows the groom reading his vows to the bride when audience members suddenly hear a cat – now named Daisy – loudly meowing.

Cara told Fox News Digital that she originally didn’t hear the chatty cat.

Cara’s sister, who served as the maid of honor, then called the couple’s attention to the matter.

“[She] kindly let us know that there was a cat right there meowing,” the wife explained. “She was so perfectly perched on a tree stump behind us demanding

Wearing your mother’s wedding dress is one of the most thoughtful ways to honor the matriarch of your family and incorporate a sense of nostalgia and tradition into your celebration. While you can certainly wear the frock in its original condition, the vintage garment might look a little too outdated, and it may not reflect your own personal style or work with your body type.

Instead of forcing it, another trending option is to revamp your mom’s special gown by getting it altered, converting it into a piece that feels fresh, fun, and current. “Repurposing allows you to breathe a whole new life into the dress,” says Kersten Brittle, owner of the custom bridal service When We Were Young. “Not only can you tailor it to the bride’s specific style and preference, but it allows you to truly wear something unique and custom without having to source fabric and start from scratch.”

Getting your mother’s wedding dress altered is a popular trend that many brides are following at the moment, in part due to

Just a year after the Call Her Daddy host got engaged to Kaplan, the 29-year-old has partnered with SKIMS. She’s leading the way to the chapel for the return of Kim Kardashian’s shapewear Wedding Shop.

The new campaign featuring the bride-to-be channeled the campiness of Las Vegas’ little white chapels. Cooper was photographed alongside Kaplan, 39 — whose face was aptly covered throughout the photo shoot, directing all eyes to Cooper in the bridal wear.

The imagery includes Cooper in a Lace Long Slip in Snow, a Fits Everybody Lace Onesie in Snow, a SKIMS Romance Satin Corset in Snow and more.
