On an otherwise unremarkable day -- May 9, 2012 -- you touched my heart when you 'came out' and said publicly that you have come to believe that same-sex couples deserve more than civil unions and should be allowed to marry legally.

A destination wedding is much more intimate than a large, grand wedding, and intimacy is the key reason destinations are so popular, whether you have a guest list of 10 or 100.

My sister got the invite, and since she's not seeing anyone and I live a quick cab ride away from the venue, I'm coming along as her guest -- which made me think of some things I wish plus-ones didn't do at weddings.

As an engaged couple, you have a nearly infinite number of choices to make. Incorporating earth-friendly elements takes little, if any, additional effort when you have the right resources.

One bride in particular asked my advice on how to wear different ceremony and reception dresses, while maintaining a consistent style. My conversation with said bride inspired this article because I know she is not the only woman grappling how to wear two different dresses, while maintaining one overall look.

Not every man is a conniving genius who strategically plans out every play or pass he makes at you. If you believe that, I think you're giving some men too much credit.

Whether you've just gotten hitched and want to get rid of your old jewelry from past relationships or perhaps you and your husband want to upgrade your engagement ring -- take a moment to go through your jewelry box this month and recycle.

In a word, marriage symbolizes commitment. Does that mean that Angelina and Brad weren't committed to each other before now? Of course not, but it is the ultimate vehicle to show that you are tied to one another in a traditional, social, and legal way for life.

My biggest fear is that I will have doubts the day of the wedding and be scared to walk down the aisle. How can I learn to trust that this is the last phase of the process and not think that this is a sign that I shouldn't marry?

Getting married is about love -- loving your future spouse, yes -- but also loving yourself enough to eat, and not being so starving at the altar that you forget to say "I Do."
