We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been named to Bridetide’s Top 100 Blog List for the fourth consecutive year. It’s an honor to be included and we highly recommend checking out the other 99 great blogs here.

If you haven’t been over to our Facebook page lately, check out our brand new cover photo.  Eugenio from The Wedding Traveler was kind enough to grant us permission to use this awesome dirtbike shot. If you’re not familiar with Eugenio, you should be. He’s shot weddings in over ten countries and in 25 US cities.  If you’re in the market for destination wedding photography or a photojournalist wedding shoot, contact The Wedding Traveler here.

If you’ve followed this blog in the past, you know our affinity for beer pong. Over the years, we’ve seen some pretty bad ass new products. However, we’ve never seen anything like the new table designs from C5. Chicago-based C5 is the new kid on the pong block and we think they’re here to stay.  Their uniquely designed tables are constructed of seamless Poplar wood that’s given a natural finish to enhance tone and grain. LED lighting illuminates opposing triangle formations for a perfect rack, every time. Professionally powder coated table legs bring a full of color palette to room’s aesthetic. Finally, the rear hidden compartments unhinge revealing a perfect storage space for all your beer pong cups & balls! From their founder, “The C5 Custom Beer Pong Table is designed to transcend dark closets and pull beer pong out from under the bed and into the center of conversation. The new stylistic element introduces the “skeet-shot” and is changing how, when, and where beer pong is being played.”

One of our favorite non-wedding blogs to follow is Uni-Watch on ESPN.com. While they normally cover news & trends in the world of sports uniforms, today they featured an NFL themed wedding that gives new meaning to the term “mixed marriage.”
