It's a ... veil??? Whatever it is, it can't be comfortable. And, unlike those shoes which are worth the pain because they're just soooo gorgeous, it's not even pretty. In fact, this is just ... silly.

Which is a shame, because the Jean-Paul Gaultier gown underneath that monstrosity is worth a second glance. Which it won't get. How could it, when no one will see anything but the wires and the crash helmet?

Oh, well. At any rate, she won't have to worry about her wedding hair. Though honeymoon hat-head might be an issue...

Wedding Betting allows you to view a picture of a happy couple and decide whether they'll stay together or not. You have a range of choices, from "barely past the altar" to "happily ever after." You base your decision on ... well, we're not quite sure what. The shape of their noses? The sincerity in their eyes? How many freckles she has?

If you truly want your relationship to be judged by legions of strangers, you can submit your own pictures. But what about follow-up? I mean, you'll have an obligation to all those people who voted. If your marriage doesn't make it to "happily ever after", which of you will pop back in and share the bad news?

There's a time and a place for laid-back, comfy and casual. There's a time and place for stylish (and possibly uncomfortable). Truth be known, there's a time and place for just about any look.

We're trying to imagine the time and place for these pajamas. Though they're billed as "wedding pajamas", we're pretty sure they're not intended to be worn to the wedding, unless, that is, you've taken "casual" to a whole new level. (Or you're Ricardo and Marcea!)

There can't be many brides who'd consider this appropriate "first night" attire. (Can there?) We'd be willing to bet there'd be even fewer grooms who'd be thrilled to see them make an appearance during the honeymoon. Well, maybe, if you're spending a night or two in an ice hotel.

So, they're soft and comfy and warm, and it's fun being the bride and all, but really ... where would you wear them?

Okay, so some of them are just high fashion from by-gone eras – perfect in their own time and hilarious in ours. Others are just plain what-were-they-thinking outrageous. For a fun glimpse at what not to wear for your nuptial hour, check out this ridiculous collection of wedding gown (and groom's attire and bridesmaid horror) photos. It's guaranteed to give you a laugh or two and blow away some of that wedding stress. Here's some to tickle your funny bone. For the complete guffaw, go here.

If you're convinced your wedding is Your Day, and everyone participating in it, from wedding party through parents to guests are there only as an audience ... well, you ARE a Bridezilla, and probably proud of it. You may skip this post.

If, however, you're generally a regular human being, but you're wondering if you're getting just a little ... intense ... about this whole venture, read on. It's easy, in the hectic throes of wedding planning, to get a little carried away. When you see your bridesmaids exchanging glances you're not supposed to see, you'll want to go through this handy checklist, and make the changes necessary.

Are you one of those cynical wedding guests who delights in seeing things go wrong at weddings? Well, shame on you, if you are. But even we have to admit that this Wedding Bingo game from Groom 411 is pretty funny. Just don't let the bride catch you playing.

The bingo cards are filled with things that can go wrong at weddings: groom says the wrong name, groom's ex makes a scene, someone objects during the ceremony, the bride's parents can't stop crying, etc. We really hope none of these things happen at your wedding -- certainly not enough for anyone to get a real bingo -- but we like the idea.

We suggest that it could be fun for guests to take this premise, but change the things on the card to something a little less disastrous. Things that happen at weddings, that could be fun to watch for, and that no one will hate you for laughing about: minister mispronounces the bride's name, maid of honor cries during her toast, you catch a groomsman and a bridesmaid making out, the bride smashes the cake in her groom's face, little kids break dancing, and so on. Have fun!

Someone's camera went missing. Someone threw out an accusation. Someone else threw the first punch. And from there, well, things just got out of hand. The riot "just kept going on and on", according to Sgt. Telerico, one of about 30 police officers called into quell the fighting.

Six arrests were made, and, though there were some 30 fights in all, only three people were hospitalized (is this good or bad?) -- one with a punch to the face, and two with stab wounds. One of the unfortunate victims was the DJ. Wonder if he'll be including danger pay in his fees from now on?

And the moral of this story is ... always provide disposable cameras?

You're married! The ceremony is over, and you're relaxing at the head table (or maybe the sweetheart table) with your brand-new husband. You raise your glass to graciously receive one of the many toasts ... and the nightmare happens. The glass slips in your hand, and drops of wine, deep red wine, spatter onto the bodice of your gown.

After your heart starts beating again, what do you do? If you have Madame Paulette's Stain Removal Kit in your emergency kit, you grab a few packets and get to work. A super-absorbent cloth here, a stain removal cloth there, a little diligent tamping -- and your gown is saved!

For more information about the stain removal kit, follow this link, and be sure to check out the video!

You're at the front of your assembled guests. The officiant pronounces you husband and wife, and you're invited to share your first married kiss. The last thing you want is your lipstick smearing up to your nose, or your groom ending up looking like he was wearing it first!

What to do? Some tell us to purchase "smudge-free lipstick", but although there are products being marketed which makes this claim, Terry Barber (senior M.A.C. makeup artist in London, England) sadly informs us that this is a myth. Well, he isn't so sad about it, really: "Ha! There is no such thing as a smudge-free lipstick."

Here's a wedding memory one couple probably wishes they didn't have: A Seattle man was arrested Sunday when guests at a wedding spotted him perched in a tree with his pants around his ankles. One adult and six kids (!!) saw the nude wedding crasher and called the cops.

The man attempted to flee -- still partially naked -- down a nearby trail, but park employees caught up with him and he was hauled off to the slammer, where he is being held without bond.

His excuse? He was only urinating! From a tree. Riiiiiiight...

Polka Dot Bride has the perfect way for you to get the DIY rush with an uber-fabulous result ... but it's not cheap.

The Bride's Guide handles the always controversial question of how a couple who wants cash instead of gifts can spread the word.

Weddings by Socialites has pictures of a wedding that almost makes us want to get married all over again -- or at least go to the beach and eat some candy!

Here at AisleDash we've got some classic wedding one-liners sure to give you a giggle.

If you're looking for material for your toast as the best man, or if you're a bride who just needs to laugh after a day of stressful wedding planning, jokes are always a good place to start. Gathered from around the internet, here are some of our favorites:

• Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor's Degree and a woman gets her Masters.
• Love is a long sweet dream... and marriage is the alarm clock.
• A woman bragged to her friends, "I made my husband a millionaire." "What was he before you came along?" they asked. "A multi-millionaire."
• Grooms, rest assured that in every discussion or argument, you will always get the last words: "Yes, dear."
• A husband says to his wife, "No, I don't hate your relatives. In fact, I like your mother-in-law even better than I like mine."

This little gem is a must-have for the bride with the taste for the outrageous, the woman with a wacky sense of humor, who wants to take the whole "Tacky Vegas Wedding" thing and just RUN with it. Be very sure that's what you want, though, because run with it all the way, and you end up here, with this, er, lovely, Elvis-inspired jump suit.

Made entirely of polyester-(of COURSE)-lycra, it is trimmed at every conceivable point with gold lamé: on the stand-up collar, the bell sleeves, the oh-so- tasteful slitted bell-bottom legs. It is finished off with a gold lamé sling belt.

The rhinestone trim is optional. Because, you know, it's good to know the bounds of good taste.

If you're really interested in this delectable bridal jumpsuit, you can find more information here. But before you take the leap, be aware, (in the words of the wise, funny and experienced-in-tacky Ms. Dolly Parton), "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap."

We had a casting call for all of your funny, blooperish wedding photos that might get featured on the TODAY show. Now you can view the first batch of those photos here. From the groom wearing the chicken hat to the bride who tossed the Sponge Bobs instead of the bouquet and the little flower girl napping on the dance floor, they are certain to give you a laugh in the midst of your own wedding planning.

This one's for the grooms out there. You're rented the tux, you've got the cummerbund, stud set and shoes. You're all set. When your bride asked how it all fit, you told her "fine", because you're sure it will be. No, you haven't really tried it on yet -- who wants to wear that thing twice? -- but it looks fine, there on the hanger.

You put the damned thing on the morning of the wedding. And the pants are three inches too short. Do you pack your bags and leave, knowing that you won't survive the ceremony anyway, once your beloved bride gets sight of you?

Or do you whip out your ever-helpful Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook for Weddings? Because the answer is right there on page 62. No, we're not telling you what it is! You'll have to buy your own copy.
