Dear Poll: What's More Important? The Wedding or the Honeymoon?

DearSugar — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 08:00:00 -0700

My friend is getting married later this month in a fairly modest wedding - just over 30 people at her grandparents' home. She and her fiancé decided to take all the money they would be spending on a bigger wedding and plan an ultrafabulous honeymoon.

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard a couple put their honeymoon plans before wedding celebrations, and while I can’t say whether or not it’s what I’d want for myself, I definitely see the appeal. What do you think? Is the wedding or the honeymoon more important to you?

This or That: Honeymoon Disasters

DearSugar — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:00:00 -0700

After all the stress of your wedding , the honeymoon has finally arrived, and you and your new husband couldn’t be more excited. The last year has been a whirlwind and you’re ready for some serious relaxation. But within hours of arriving, your dream honeymoon is turning into a vacation nightmare. Would it be worse if . . .

This: Your luggage never makes its way around the baggage turnstile? When you talk to a rep at your airline, they inform you that they don’t know where your luggage is or when it will arrive, but hopefully within five days - nearly your entire trip.

Or . . .

That: Before you have a chance to even change into your bathing suit, you’re sick beyond belief? You’re stuck in the bathroom sick to your stomach for half of your stay.

Book Review: TravelFit London

FitSugar — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:00:00 -0700

Vacations and honeymoons are a great time to sit back and relax, but that does not mean you have to let all your healthy efforts go to waste. If you and your new spouse are heading to London for your honeymoon then you'll definitely want to bring along TravelFit London ($15).

This handy, little travel guidebook gives you the ins and outs on how to keep off holiday weight gain in a city that treasures its fish 'n' chips. From finding bike tours to health clubs that offer day passes, to health-food stores, to walking tours, you'll be sure to keep up with your health while still be able to take in the sights. I love that it's small enough to fit in your purse so you can take it on all your outings. After all, Ben may be big, but you don't have to be.

If the City of Lights is your destination, be sure to check out TravelFit Paris.

You Asked: My Fiancé and I Can't Agree on Our Honeymoon!

DearSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 06:00:00 -0700

Dear Sugar,

My fiancé and I are getting married in a few months - everything is planned and ready to go, but we just can't seem to agree on where to go for our honeymoon! I know it's typically the man's responsibility to plan and pay for it, but if I left it up to him, we'd be hiking in the Himalayas when all I really want to do is relax on a beach somewhere.

Without creating an argument, how can we come to an agreement on where to go and what to do? I don't want to sound like a spoiled brat, but I think it's important for us both to be happy. - Honeymoon Fiasco Francesca

Dear Honeymoon Fiasco Francesca,

You're right, you and your fiancé should definitely agree on where you go for your honeymoon so why don't you start off by writing a list of the things you both want out of your vacation. It sounds as though relaxing is important to you while being adventurous is important to him, but there's no reason why you can't meet somewhere in-between. Consider someplace like Costa Rica, New Zealand or South Africa so you'll have both the ability to hang out on the beach and explore your surroundings.

While tradition says the groom should plan the honeymoon, I feel it should be a mutual decision. Your honeymoon is supposed to be about spending time with your new husband and basking in your wedded bliss so it's imperative that you're both happy with your final destination, even if that means a few trips to the drawing board. Good luck, but most importantly, have fun!

The Office, "The Lover": Best Lines of the Night

BuzzSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 05:30:00 -0700

Yay! Jim and Pam return from their romantic honeymoon, but there is no rest for the newlyweds at The Office. Michael crosses the line - and Pam bears the brunt of his antics, like usual - while Jim fends off a nosy Dwight. I'll admit that Pam got on my nerves this week but I was glad to have Jim back so he could one-up Dwight.

I found this week to be much more engaging than last week's post-wedding episode, and I'm pretty excited to see where the storyline is headed now that the co-workers are all together again. But before I give away any spoilers, check out my favorite quips plus a few more thoughts when you read more.

Meredith: "What'd you bring us?"
Pam: "Some candy."
Meredith: "What else?"
Pam: "That's it."
Meredith: "Ohhhh, because you spent so much on the wedding."
Poor Pam and Jim. They walk into Dunder Mifflin bearing gifts with the honeymoon glow still on their faces - until they realize they're back to working with goons again. I love the bit between Pam and Erin over the candy distribution. (Erin's such a goody-goody that she has to clear everything with Michael.) But my favorite is definitely the rum with the stuffed parrot. Mainly because watching Steve Carell talk next to a stuffed parrot holding a bottle is kind of hilarious.

Michael: "You know what? I'm going to start dating her even harder."
Pam: "What's that supposed to mean?"
Michael: "You know what that means."
So yes, Michael is dating Pam's mom, which he reveals after she gets wind of his fancy dinner reservations. I agree with Pam's initial anger - no one wants their mother to date Michael Scott, especially when he keeps using the word "lover." (Though "pickle" may be worse). However, I'm giddy over this new development, because I can't wait to see what it spawns. Pam and Jim on a date with Michael and Pam's mom? That would be a-ma-zing.

"You know, I really would've appreciated a heads up that you were into dating mothers. I would've introduced you to mine."-Dwight
Just picture Dwight's mother in your mind for a second. That's funny in itself.

"I have plenty of female friends...My aunt, but she just blocked me from IM; the woman from Quiznos."-Michael
Poor guy. I'm curious to see how Michael's new romance ends up affecting his relationship with Pam. She's got to forgive him at some point, but do you think she's overreacting? Personally, I find her complaining kind of grating. She has every right to be P.O.'d, but as the episode went on, she seems angry more out of spite than anything else.

"Did you really think I would put my primary listening device in a wooden mallard? I'm not insane."-Dwight
The mallard! I always enjoy a good Jim versus Dwight scuffle, so this was one of the highlights for me, especially when Jim tries to throw Dwight off by playing opera music or giving the wooden duck to Kelly. Then just when you think Dwight is a total idiot, he pulls out a twist, having hid a pen recorder amongst Jim's office supplies. Jim may have won the promotion, but Dwight's out to win the war.

So what'd you think about the episode? Are you on Team Pam, or were you a little annoyed by her screaming fit like I was? Weigh in below in the comments, and tell me your favorite lines of the evening!

Oh, and don't forget that you can discuss the episode in full over at The Office! group in the BuzzSugar Community! Here's a topic to get you started: Ryan's fedora. Discuss.

The Office, "Mafia": Best Lines of the Night

BuzzSugar — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 05:30:00 -0700

After last week's wedding extravaganza on The Office, we come back to a Dunder Mifflin minus Jim and Pam. With the two lovebirds on their honeymoon, the focus shifts to Michael, who once again gets himself into a pickle with a guy - who he thinks - is affiliated with the mafia. I always love Andy, Dwight, and Michael banter, and this week's episode is full of it.

Debate the events of the night with The Office! group in the BuzzSugar Community, and then check out my favorite lines of the evening when you read more.

"Jim is gone on his honeymoon, so I started opening his office to fart in."-Kevin
Kevin is so creepy, it's hilarious. First he takes over Jim's desk while Jim's gone - then his identity. I love his conversation with the credit card company where he tried to convince them to let the "criminal" (meaning Jim) continue to spend the money.

"Criminals are like raccoons. You give them a taste of cat food, and they'll be back for the whole cat."-Dwight
I really wish they could string out this mafia storyline a bit longer, just so I can watch Andy and Dwight strategize. My favorite part is when Andy dresses up as a car mechanic (Pat!) with a tire iron - "It's metal, so I can hit somebody with it." Gotta love Pat.

"I wouldn't last in jail, Oscar, I'm not like you. You don't know about jail? You would love jail."-Kevin
Ha! I know it's totally un-PC, but I think this line is hilarious. Oscar definitely puts up with way too many gay jokes.

"I think I'm in trouble with the mob. Or a major insurance carrier."-Michael
Michael's powers of perception have no bounds, as usual.

"If there's one thing I hate more than the mafia, it's a liar. I wish the mafia would go out and kill all the liars and then bury them in my yard." - Michael
Michael goes on a major power trip after making the "mob" back down. Not like Michael needs a power trip, but oh well...Hopefully, he won't take it out too much on the rest of the office next week.

So what'd you think of the episode? I'll admit that I sort of missed Jim and Pam, and I could always use a little more Kelly.

Jaime Puts Her Bikinis Away and Returns Home to Married Life

PopSugar — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 07:00:17 -0700

Jaime Pressly and Simran Singh had a special newlywed glow earlier this week as they arrived back at LAX after their honeymoon in Mexico. Their trip gave Jaime a chance to show off her impressive bikini body during one of their relaxing afternoons hanging out at the beach. Jaime seems to have a clear schedule now that My Name Is Earl has ended its run on the small screen, so she should have plenty of time to enjoy life with Simran and her son Dezi.
