If one of your resolutions is to elope on New Year's Day, but you're looking for something a little more romantic than getting hitched at a Vegas drive-through window, take a flight now to Maui.
Flying there is the hardest step to tying the knot. All you have to do is head to a marriage license agent with your soon-to-be spouse, show proof of age and plunk down $60. There isn't a waiting period and no blood tests are needed. You can save time by downloading a marriage license application here and having it filled out when you visit the agent. Just be sure to call the local agent to make an appointment so that you can get hitched on January 1 without any issue. ]]>
If you want to ring in the New Year with a ring on your left finger, make like Ed Helms' Stu on The Hangover and head to Vegas. Here's your guide on how to elope in Sin City, but if you're looking to pull out a tooth, you're on your own.
Obviously, Vegas is the capital of quickie weddings, with more than 100,000 couples saying "I do" there each year, according to the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority. And the options are overwhelming. You could do everything from a wedding-on-the-go at the Little White Wedding Chapel's Tunnel of Love drive-through window for as cheap as $40—though you have to supply your own car—to a slightly more upscale affair at the Wynn, where perks include a wedding consultant, a private limo ride from the airport to the courthouse for the license and use of the private wedding salon. Packages be as high as $23,090, to ensure you won't be cheated from that overpriced wedding feel. ]]>
Austin, the Live Music Capital of the World (TM) is having a sort of banner year already. Last month's South by Southwest festival was a huge success judging by the fact that so many folks were Twittering, texting and emailing on their iPhones that AT&T experienced a network outage.
Now there are reports that pretty young things Andy Roddick (26) and his fiancee/Sports Illustrated model Brooklyn Decker (21) are getting married in Austin this weekend. Turns out tennis ace Andy lived in the city from the ages of four to 10.
We don't have the detes on where they are tying the knot (it will be small, just "friends and family") but if they aren't getting married at a private estate we're betting the Four Seasons Austin would be a great place for a reception. The popular Driskill Hotel would also be a fun place to send out of town guests but rooms are a steep $376 a night. We hope Andy and Brooklyn were able to get a nice group discount. ]]>
One party just wasn't enough: After tying the knot in a private ceremony in Caifornia last month, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen got hitched again this weekend at her house in Costa Rica.
25 guests witnessed the re-hitching of Brady and Bündchen, who left her house to prep for the wedding separately at the Milarepa Hotel and Hotel Flor Blanca in the city of Santa Teresa. Guests included Brady's 1-year-old son, the source of controversy in Bündchen's recent Vanity Fair profile in which she said she felt like his mother (news to his real mother, Bridget Moynahan) and Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Paparazzi who managed to figure out the date and location of the ceremony were fired on by security guards hired for the occasion.
There are competing schools of thought on whether destination weddings will take a major hit or a minor hit during this recession. Bridal Guide magazine predicted destination weddings would be up 14 percent this year despite the downturn because they often involve fewer guests (and thus lower overhead). But AdAge found the average price of a wedding in the U.S. dropped in 2008 for the first time in 17 years, indicating that many brides are not only actively looking to cut costs, they're actually doing it. ]]>
Awful beard-haver Spencer Pratt and "singer" Heidi Montag have reportedly married while on vacation in Mexico. Friend of the now-family Perez Hilton says the ceremony was held at the One&Only Palmilla in Cabo, and it wasn't too fancy:
The ceremony was held on the beach. And, it wasn't planned.
There were no family members present for the ceremony, which lasted only 15 minutes.
Funny, we remember Heidi calling off the wedding when Spencer didn't want to invite the family and elope instead. Brainwashing complete!
