Weddings are all about love, compassion, and commitment. Such sentiment should extend not only to the people, but to the entire event.

What does this extra drop of “bling” (a word, by the way, that I never want to hear again after it being mentioned 35 times in a “We” channel wedding special) indicate about me, anyway?
