Couples Who Shouldn't Hyphenate Their Last Names
The best humorists couldn't come up with this stuff: Fillerup-Standing. Kumon-Topomi. And, my personal fave, Moore-Bacon.
Product of the Day: Bachelorette Party Invitations
Bachelor and bachelorette parties are so odd to me. Some of them seem to undermine the symbolism of the romantic gesture of getting married. Like, how does having a stripper grind on you during a lap dance signify that you're ready to walk down the aisle with your sweetie?

During last week's episode of The Office, lovebirds Jim and Pam discussed moving in together, but there was just one hitch — Pam wanted to be engaged first. Or, at least, that's what she said. This not-so-subtle hint didn't scare Jim off at all.

Steffi Graf Gets a Courtside Proposal
There's nothing a gal in the middle of a grueling tennis match would love more than to hear a stranger shout out, "Steffi, will you marry me?" Now, I had a feeling Steffi had a good head on her shoulders, but I had no idea how practical she was. Check out the video to find out her romantic answer.
The Prank War Proposal

He figured out when his buddy was taking his girlfriend to a Yankees game and arranged to have a fake marriage proposal flash on the Jumbotron in front of 57,545 fans. The dude's girlfriend was elated by the announcement, the dude was baffled, and our prankster couldn't help but laugh and pat himself on the back.
Animated Proposal
This is one of the sweetest proposals I've ever seen. It beats throwing a ring in a glass of champagne — a choking hazard, you know. Maybe it pays to fall in love with a geek!
Dear Poll: What's Your Ideal Engagement Length?
When it comes to weddings and wedding planning, there just seem to be so many rules and opinions on the proper etiquette of things.

In fact, if you really don’t feel like you’ll be a positive participant either because of time constraints or personal demands, declining her request might just be the best thing you can do. Though coming right out with “no thanks” may not be the best strategy, there are ways of refusing gracefully.
