Rock Of Love: Bride and Groom Perform Jimi Hendrix at Wedding

In adorably mushy love news of the day, we spotted this video on Jezebel of a bride and groom covering Jimi Hendrix’s “Fire” at their wedding reception.

How cute is the bride in her poofy 1950s poodle dress letting ‘er rip? Just as a friendly reminder to not forget to enter our Bora Bora Wed Like a Celeb Sweeps, ending July 1st, where you can win a designer gown and a dream Bora Bora honeymoon worth $17, 000.

That would put you in the mood to break it down like Jimi at Woodstock, huh?

Winning Spa Week Story #3: Bachelorette Bash at the Spa

Spa Week isn’t forever, but the wellness benefits and memories are everlasting! We asked for your Spa Week stories to share with our readers (see the contest HERE); we’re so thrilled to have been able to touch so many lives with a small dose of pampering! We’ve managed to narrow it down to 5 winners, each of whom will be receiving a $50 Spa Week gift card toward their next spa visit. You’ll see them published here throughout the week. Here’s #3–enjoy!

In lieu of a capricious night of scandal and a painful morning hangover, the blushing bride chose to celebrate her bachelorette bash at a relaxing Arizona spa.

I decided to use Spa Week as the perfect time for my bachelorette party.  Instead of a night out drinking and wreaking havoc on our bodies, I thought it would be way more fun to use this as an excuse to spend the evening at a fabulous resort here in Scottsdale and get pampered. We went to Jurlique Spa at the Firesky Resort in Scottsdale. I treated each of my bridesmaids to facials and they each got massages on their own as well!  With such great deals, there was no reason to settle for just one service =).  My sister who’s my maid of honor and I each got facials and massages as well.  It was the best bachelorette weekend!  In between our services we lounged by the pool and instead of waking up dehydrated with hangovers the next day, we all felt well rested and fabulous!

I heard there’s going to be another Spa Week in September – conveniently enough, that’s my birthday month so we’re already planning another spa party!

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?
