OneWed recommends adding the "jumping groomsmen" to the do-not-take list

By Guest Blogger: OneWed.com

Have you seen the photo? The one of all the groomsmen jumping up in the air? What about that other one, you know, the one where the beautiful bride holds a fake mustache up to her perfectly made-up faced? What about that one in front of the local landmark that you’ve never actually visited?

A lot of photographers have go-to photos that they like to take to help loosen up the bridal party. There are also photos that become popular in a certain area, or with a certain group of people, so photographers get in the habit of taking them. But remember, it’s your wedding. If you know that you don’t want photos in front of a big chicken, or with a fake mustache, then tell the photographer up front.  The same way that you have a “Do Not Play” list for your DJ or band, it’s perfectly ok to have a “do not take” list for your photographer. Just make sure you save time by sharing that list with the photographer before your wedding day.

When a professional cage fighter gets married, I guess there shouldn’t be too much shock when you hear the wedding reception took place at a strip club. That’s exactly what happened when Alex Reid married his girlfriend, model Katie Price lastnight in Las Vegas.

Spearmint Rhino: An romantic spot for your wedding reception

Reid and Price were wed at Wynn’s Las Vegas Wedding Salon and then headed over to famed strip club Spearmint Rhino for the after-party (view photos here).

Funny, I ran this idea by my wife during our wedding planning and she didn’t think it was that great of an idea..

a truly incredible story…

When Chris Hulett asked Keni Carter to marry him, they knew they wouldn’t have much time to plan the wedding. Chris is suffering from Melanoma Cancer and, according to his doctors, will likely pass within a matter of days.  Not letting that stand in the way of them being wed, the two were married Friday, January 29th in the hospital chapel at Athens Regional Medical Center in Athens, GA (photos of the wedding can be viewed here).

The marriage of Chris Hulett and Keni Carter is one of the more incredible wedding stories we've heard.

Hulett is a Stephens County Sheriff’s Deputy in Athens. Last April, he was involved in a car wreck that broke his neck. While in the hospital, doctors discovered the Melanoma. He asked Keni to marry him back in December, but didn’t set a date. On Friday, they decided to go for it and get married that day. The hospital put together an impromptu reception hall where friends and family could gather for the ceremony.

“It turned one of the gloomiest days into the best day of my life.” Hulett said.

Even if you’re not a fan of the Philadelphia Phillies, you can’t deny that shortstop Jimmy Rollins is one of the more likable guys in the league… ok, maybe that doesn’t go for Mets and Braves fans. Anyways, Rollins married longtime girlfriend Johari Smith on January 23rd in the Cayman Islands. Shockingly, their wedding photos have been made public. You can view them here and here.
