Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Renew Wedding Vows


On Friday, April 27, 2012, Mariah Carey, 42, and Nick Cannon, 31, renewed their wedding vows in Paris. The couple was married in the Bahamas in 2008, and gave birth to their twins, Moroccan and Monroe, last April. Shortly after the vow renewal, Cannon and Carey boarded their private jet to Austria to celebrate the twins' first birthday. Sounds like they're going to have a wonderful 4th honeymoon! What do we think of Carey's dress?

Breaking Out of the Norm!


Getting tired of those old, worn-out wedding traditions? Well, we've stumbled upon a few alternatives just for you. Here they are:

1) Instead of getting married in the church by a priest, try a beach, mountain, or cliff (or ELABORATE EVENTS, of course) and have a family member get ordained to do the honors.

2) Instead of wearing a veil, just let your hair down and be YOU!

3) Instead of wearing white from head-to-toe, switch it up and wear whatever shoe color warms your heart!


4) Instead of having each bridesmaid wear the same old boring dress, have them wear differently styled dresses, yet all in the same fabric.

5) Instead of tossing the bouquet ONLY to single ladies, open it up to all of the women in the house, and offer a small prize to the winner.

6) Ditch that played out place card! Google "Wedding place card alternatives" and get inspired!

7) Get rid of that traditional flower centerpiece and Google "Wedding centerpiece alternatives."



8) Lose the plain table number pieces and spice it
up a little! Once again, Google "Wedding table number alternatives" for some great ideas.

9) Instead of the traditional "first dance song," surprise everyone with something unusual! Have fun!

10) Choose a cupcake tower with an awesome cake topper instead of the expected wedding cake.

11) Instead of spending money on favors, donate the money to the charity of your choice in remembrance of a loved one.

12) Last but not least, hire a wedding painter to capture all of that reception fun!
