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.

Rollins and Smith’s wedding photos were taken by Rebecca Davidson Photography of the Cayman Islands.

Here’s an all-time classic entry for the bizarre wedding file: an 11-year-old girl in Bulgaria has given birth on her wedding day. Kordeza Zhelyazkova gave birth to a baby girl, Violeta, while still dressed in white.

Just to clarify, this is the baby... not the bride

Kordeza says she met the baby’s father, 19-year-old Jeliazko Dimitrov, on a playground at her school. They had no idea what a condom was when they  began their sexual relationship.

So, let me do the math… will Kordeza still be in high school when Violeta is starting kindergarten? Maybe they can share a ride to school!

Trent Reznor takes the (wedding) cake as this week’s most bad ass groom. The Nine Inch Nails founder married Mariqueen Maandig last Saturday October, 17th. Reports have Reznor wearing a traditional black tux and looking “swanky.”

Men and skin care. Two words that probably should never be uttered in the same sentence. We’re assuming that skin care isn’t something that’s crossed you grooms‘ minds out there – but we’d bet that it’s crossed the mind of your fiance. She’s going to want you to look perfect for the thousands of photos that will be taken of you on the big day.

Real men get makeovers.

Sarah Nash of the Los Angeles Fashion Design School has stopped by with four key steps to getting your skin prepped for the wedding day:

CLEANSE

The first basic step to your skin care regiMEN begins with a good facial wash & cleanser. A deep cleanse for your skin to help remove all impurities, dirt, excess oil & residue, sweat, and environmental stress. This process is easy and will help prep & maintain your skin for the following easy steps:

When choosing a face wash that best fits your skin type, make sure to do a skin care evaluation, specifically targeting your T-zone. If you’re unfamiliar with a t-zone, imagine drawing a “T” on your face. Your t-zone consists of your forehead, nose, and chin. These are common places for excess oil, acne and blackheads for people who fall in the oily or combination skin type.

EXFOLIATE

Exfoliating your skin will decongest and gently remove dirt, excess oil build up and dead-damaged skin cells. This step helps to clean, polish, tighten & brighten your skin, while working deep into your pores. It will leave your skin feeling soft & fresh!

When choosing an exfoliating scrub or cream, make sure to choose one that best fits your skin type. If you fall into the category of acne prone or irritation/sensitive skin you should use a gentle exfoliate such as the cream based exfoliate, rather than the scrub. If using the scrub, remember that the best scrub/ deep cleanse

Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty. Zoolander anyone?

should have either flax seeds or linipack seeds.

MOISTURIZE

A good moisturizer will help re-balance, rejuvenate, and revitalize your skin for your youthful, more refreshed, non-greasy look and feel! For the best results, make sure to get a pH balanced moisturizer to help prevent signs of aging. If you are out in the sun a lot, you should definitely use an SPF 15-30 to protect against sun damage- UVA/ UVB sun rays.

When choosing a moisturizer before bed, you should look for the ones that help prevent signs of aging-fine lines, smoothes out irritation-red spots, and works to keep your skin hydrated and plump to wake up fresh faced & handsome!

TONE

Toners and spray mist is a great way for your skin & face to stay hydrated and fresh throughout the day! This step helps to rebalance your skin against harmful toxins while purifying & toning all skin types. Your toner can also help control excess oil & shine.
