BRIDE SPRINGS INTO
ACTION REPORTING
CHINESE EARTHQUAKE
The earth moved on this bride's wedding
day--literally. News anchor Chen Ying was
on her way to her wedding when an 7.0
earthquake rocked Sichuan, China, The
South China Morning Post reported. Dressed
in bridal gown, Ying calmly transitioned
from bride to news reporter. She took to the
streets with a microphone to interview
locals on-air to report breaking news of the
tragedy. Photos of the reporter/bride in the
real-life trash-the-dress situation went viral.
She was widely praised for rising to the
occasion with superb professionalism.
Here's to a wonderful marriage Chen Ying.
If you are as dedicated to your relationship as
you are to your job, you and your groom are
bound to have a wonderful future.

REUSE, RECYLE,
RESULTS IN TRULY UNIQUE GOWN
Every bride wants a special bridal gown, but Stephanie Watson's vision for her
wedding gown was totally unique. This was definitely not white-bread wedding
attire! Australia's Geelong Advertiser reported this delightful story. Stephanie
dated Will Wapling for about 10 years before they took their wedding vows.
Throughout the years Stephanie collected 10,000 coloured plastic bread tags to
create the gown she designed for her wedding. Many followed the construction of
the gown, nicknamed "Nadine", on a blog. More than 300 hours were needed to
produce the one-of-a-kind, seven-kilogram creation.
All the best, Stephanie and Will--may you create a future together that is as fresh and
original as your wedding day vision.
PRE-WEDDING PHOTO
SESSION BECOMES
SURPRISE WEDDING
Everything is bigger in Texas, even surprises!
What would most brides think--and do--when
faced with this "Deal or No-Deal" question?
Seven months before their nuptials were
scheduled to take place in Southlake, Texas,
Brandon Cassata asked his bride-to-be to
prepare for a pre-wedding photo session,
dressed in her wedding gown. Imagine Mary-
Cathrin McCarthy's surprise on the way to the
hotel when she got this iPad video message--
"Let's get married today!". Family and friends
were already at the venue, watching a live feed
of her reaction. Cassata told TODAY.com that
he wanted "to reduce the stress on her. Her
mother...was kind of my coach in all this".
McCarthy said it was "perfect".
Best wishes Mary-Cathrin and Brandon.
Here's to a happy marriage filled with many
more wonderful surprises.
