Wedding Wednesday: How Twitter Made for a Dream Wedding

A 19-year-old Michigan resident is getting the wedding of her dreams, courtesy of a special Hollywood Twitter connection.

Former Tonight Show host Conan O Brien’s terms of departure from NBC famously preclude him from appearing on TV for 8 months. What’s a multi-millionaire funnyman to do? In part, O’Brien gave in and joined Twitter, an act he’d previously eschewed. He refused to follow anyone and noted things like his napping schedule and the squirrels in his backyard. One day, he proclaimed he was going to follow someone at random.

He chose Sarah Killen, who had thousands of followers within hours. Her Twitter feed revealed she was planning a wedding, and the freebies started pouring in - a designer dress and shoes from a New York boutique, wine from a California vineyard, a free limo, designer wedding bands, and more.

Killen says O’Brien’s Twitter patronage changed her life and transformed her wedding from a can-barely-afford-it affair to a ceremony fit for royalty (or Hollywood royalty, at least.) And Sarah’s more than willing to give back in entertainment what she’s gotten in swag - she says she and her boyfriend are willing to get married on O’Brien’s new show, if he has one by their big day.

Wedding Wednesday: Bachelor Wedding #2

The Bachelor has produced its second marriage born out of the popular reality TV show, and perhaps the most scandalous. Last year’s Bachelor, Jason Mesnick, is set to marry contestant Molly Malaney in a two-hour TV special on ABC next month. There’s just one catch.

As devoted watchers of the Bachelor might know, Malaney was Mesnick’s second choice. In the post-season finale wrap-up episode, it was revealed that Mesnick dumped his first choice, Melissa Rycroft, for Malaney (it is shocking how un-classy that reality television can be!)

The first Bachelorette to get married, Trista Rehn, criticized Mesnick’s 180-flip on Access Hollywood last fall, condemning him for being fickle in matters of the heart. And perhaps she has a leg to stand on - Rehn has been married to her first choice contestant since 2003. Mesnick and Malaney might want to take notes.

Will you watch the second Bachelor wedding?

Spring 2010 Paris Couture - Here Comes The Bride

The Spring 2010 Couture shows have just begun! Let the romance unfold as designers of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture present their most extravagant collections of the season.

As tradition holds, the very last look of each show is the wedding dress—the designer’s vision of our modern bride. Off-beat volume, varying textures, with a touch of ballroom tradition have been a common thread thus far; can’t wait to see what kind of brides the rest of the week brings.

For today’s Wedding Wednesday post, we rounded up the 5 most notable wedding looks so far. If your wedding was tomorrow and you had to choose: Would you wed in Chanel’s bohemian-mille-feuille chiffon mashup (with a groom from outer space!), Givenchy’s rough-around-the-edges purple statement, Armani Privé’s light, airy nod to wedding tradition, Christian Dior’s kitschy, goth-y Cinderella ballgown, or would you walk down the aisle in an igloo á la Alexis Mabille?
