As beautiful as a destination wedding at a resort on a warm and sunny tropical island can be, it does call for a change of dress. In response, Sandals Resorts worked with Vivian Diamond of the Dessy Collection to create a line of simple, modern, airy dresses ideally suited for destination weddings. Each dress is available in sizes 0-28.

Sandals Resorts coined the term "weddingmoon" — a combination wedding-plus-honeymoon getaway. Today, 16 percent of weddings take place in a destination away from home. In this exclusive interview, Joann Delgin, Sandals' director of wedding strategy, kindly answered questions about the new weddingmoon/destination wedding dresses.

Why has Sandals branched into wedding dresses?
John Lynch, evp of sales worldwide, was empathetic to brides standing in the Caribbean sun with full tulle ball gowns and gloves.

He became passionate about offering dresses designed with the Caribbean climate in mind, allowing brides to feel elegant yet without the weight and heat of a traditional wedding gown.

How many destination wedding dresses bear the Sandals brand?
We currently are able to offer five designs from the collection, each unique in style.

Who is the designer of Sandals' destination wedding dresses?
Vivian Dessy Diamond of The Dessy Group captured the beauty and carefree spirit of a destination wedding with her dress collection. They are casual but "island elegant" — chic, stylish, and fresh — what today's destination brides are seeking. Attention to detail includes special touches such as a jeweled brooch or lace-up back through crystal rings. Some feature slight "sweep" trains.

Where are these destination wedding dresses available?
On the Sandals Web site or by visiting one of the more than 200 fine retailers in the US, Canada, and the UK carrying the collection. Wedding dresses also will be available on-island at Sandals and Beaches resorts.

What is the price range?
The destination wedding dresses retail at $499.

What considerations should a woman take into account when selecting a dress for a tropical destination wedding?
The warm climate as well as the location (i.e., will she sink her feet into the sand alongside the splash of the ocean?). It is also important to consider how well the dress material will travel and how easy it will be to carry while embarking on planes and automobiles.

Are there certain dress fabrics that work better? Ones to avoid?
This collection was designed with lightweight, breezy fabrics such as chiffon and charmeuse with tropical settings in mind. The wedding dresses are cool and comfortable and the fabrics are light and wrinkle-resistant for ease of travel and packing. Each has a stretch knit lining that is designed for easy alterations. The best part of all is, they are washable. So there is no need to worry about sand and water affecting the look of the dress.

Fabrics to avoid in a destination wedding dress would be anything that stains easily or tends to be heavy. While a crinoline is pretty, it probably won't travel well, nor feel good on your skin while standing in the warm Caribbean sun.

What about destination wedding dress styles? Any musts to avoid?
The dress should be soft and fluid, not clingy, lightweight, and easy to pack. You cannot go wrong with a dress made of a fabric that fits and moves with the body. You'll be less stressed traveling and won't have to deal with finding someone to steam your dress upon arrival. I would certainly stay away from heavily jeweled or beaded dresses.

What should the bride wear at a destination wedding if this is not her first wedding?
Every bride should wear a dress that makes her feel spectacular! Our collection is offered in white or ivory. A bride should pick the color she feels she looks and feels best in.

What wardrobe advice do you have for the groom at a tropical destination wedding?
The groom will look dapper in a light linen suit or lightweight shirt and pants. A formal tuxedo is typically made of heavier materials not forgiving in the Caribbean heat. The groom should be smiling in the soft Caribbean breeze as his bride cascades toward him...not sweating!

What about shoes for the couple?
Most of our brides are happy in a strappy sandal and low heel. It also is common to see the bride barefoot with decorative jewelry around her ankle. The groom typically follows suit with a lightweight sandal or bare feet.

What's the best way to transport a wedding dress to a destination wedding location?
If you can avoid it, do not check the dress with your luggage. I suggest using a lightweight carryon bag that will hang in the first class garment bin. If that is not an option, I suggest keeping it close to you in the overhead carrier bin.

Is there anything you'd like to add?
We are so pleased to be able to offer brides this extraordinary collection and feel these wedding dresses are the final touch in Sandals' wedding Dream Team.

Away from the glare of television cameras that have beamed other first family weddings into American living rooms, Jenna Bush's outdoor wedding at the family's ranch in Crawford Texas Saturday reflected her family's penchant for privacy and her preference for the casual over grandiose.

After the event, the White House released the following photos.

It was arguably America's wedding of the year, uniting a presidential daughter
with a former White House aide - but its details were kept almost entirely
private.


 





 


Jenna Bush married Henry Hager in a down-home Texas wedding yesterday at the
family ranch in Crawford, Texas, before some 200 friends and relatives and
in front of a simple limestone cross erected near a lake.


“Our little girl Jenna married a really good guy, Henry Hager. The wedding was
spectacular, all we could have hoped for," President Bush told
reporters afterwards.


"The weather cooperated nicely and, just as the vows were exchanged, the
sun set over our lake... We're mighty blessed."


n contrast with other First Family weddings, details of Jenna's nuptials had
been kept secret, although the White House released about a dozen
photographs afterwards.


Jenna’s 26-year-old twin sister, Barbara, was her maid of honor and Mr Hager’s
brother, Jack, was best man. The bride and groom were attended-to by 14
young female attendants and 14 male ushers.


The bride wore a hip-hugging Oscar de la Renta white gown, and enjoyed a dance
with her father to the Joe Cocker ballad You Are So Beautiful.


As the nuptials drew to a close, tour buses loaded with wedding guests began
rolling through downtown Crawford, past souvenir shops which had already
sold out of Jenna and Henry coffee mugs and mouse pads.


The couple are expected to honeymoon in Europe and settle in Baltimore.

ON THE BIG DAY, LEAVE ALL OUTSTANDING ORGANIZATIONAL DETAILS TO SOMEONE YOU TRUST and accept that the tasks may get done a little differently than you would do them. Stressing over who’s holding the rings, handing out programs, or making sure Grandma is happy is the last thing you want to do on your special day.

IF YOU DON'T GET ALONG WITH A FAMILY MEMBER WHO’S ATTENDING THE WEDDING AND EXPECTING TO PREP WITH YOU, come up with a nonconfrontational way to keep that person busy and out of your hair. Assign her a "special" task or get family or friends to divert her so you can get ready in peace and stay relaxed during your walk down the aisle.

DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE MEANINGFUL EXCHANGES WITH ALL YOUR GUESTS. After the wedding, many brides are overcome with guilt or grief because they didn't get to spend quality time with people who have come to honor them. But as with any big party, guests know that the hosts are overwhelmed. They expect nothing more than the opportunity to share the joy of your very special event with you, and you should expect the same.

ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES. Like life, weddings don't always go as planned. Whether it rains on your nuptial parade literally or figuratively—with a trickle or downpour—the best way to ensure that you and your guests have a good time and fondly remember the day is to relax and make the best of it, even if that means dancing in the mud, laughing off the inappropriate speech by your wacky uncle, or graciously welcoming your fiancé's wedding-crashing ex.

HAVE FUN. Never mind schmoozing with your stepbrother's second cousin or glad-handing your dad's business partners. It's your day. Live it up and savor every moment exactly the way you want to. Let nothing stand in the way of a good time and you'll be left with magical memories that will last a lifetime.

Scarlett Johansson has become engaged to her actor boyfriend Ryan Reynolds after a one year courtship.
Scarlett Johansson announces engagement to Ryan Reynolds

The Lost In Translation actress, 23, and Canadian beau Reynolds, 31, started dating in March 2007 - a month after the Just Friends actor ended his three-year engagement to singer Alanis Morissette.
Johansson's representative Marcel Pariseau confirmed the couple's engagement to People magazine on Monday.
She said: "They're both thrilled."
Pariseau declined to say exactly when the couple got engaged, but admitted it was recently. They are yet to set a wedding date.
Johansson initially denied reports in February that the couple were getting married after she was spotted looking at wedding gowns at the Monique Lhuillier boutique in LA.
Before she starting dating Reynolds last year, Johansson was in a two-year relationship with her Black Dahlia co-star Josh Hartnett and previously dated actor/singer Jared Leto.
Friends of the couple believe they may delay the wedding until after this year because they are so busy.
Scarlett Johansson announces engagement to Ryan Reynolds

Johansson's debut album Anywhere I Lay My Head is released on May 20 and she has two movies Vicky Cristina Barcelona and He's Just Not That Into You coming out this summer. 
She is currently filming New York, I Love You in her hometown of NYC, while Reynolds is currently making romantic comedy The Proposal with Sandra Bullock four hours away in Boston.

The way he came into the store, the mood he was in, I knew this was very serious,' celeb blingmaster Jacob the Jeweler reportedly said of Nick's ring-shopping trip.


While there was no official word at press time whether Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have actually gotten married, People magazine reported on Friday (May 2) that Bishop Clifford Petty of the National Church of God in Governor's Harbour in the Caribbean island of Eleuthera confirmed that he presided over their wedding. Petty provided no details except to say that he did not give a sermon.

Earlier on Friday, the magazine reported that Jacob the Jeweler, who reportedly made Carey's ring, confirmed the wedding. The magazine also cited an unnamed source as saying that the singer obtained a marriage license in Eleuthera, although a representative at the island's register's office told MTV News on Friday that she has no record of a license in Carey's or Cannon's names. However, Monique Gomez, a Bahamian attorney in Nassau who specializes in family law. told People.com, "The minister would make sure [the license] goes into the registry. It's still a valid marriage even if it's not filed. Anywhere in the world."

Eleuthera is located next to the island of Windermere, where Carey reportedly owns a home. The Web site of the island's register's office states that couples wishing to get married there need only spend one day in the Bahamas before submitting an application for a marriage license; they also must fill out the application together at the register's office, pay a fee of $40, and in Mariah's case, a certification of her divorce (from her ex-label head Tommy Mottola) must be produced. The license is valid for three months. People's report states that Carey herself obtained the license.

Some have speculated that Carey actually may have married or be marrying Mark Sudack (a member of her management team whom she has long been rumored to be dating), but TMZ.com claimed on Friday that those reports are untrue. Also on Friday, a rep for "The View" confirmed that Carey had been scheduled to tape the show on Monday (for a segment scheduled to air Friday, May 9) but had canceled.

Neither Cannon's nor Carey's spokespeople have returned calls for comment from MTV News, and Cannon evaded a series of questions from MTV News on the matter Monday.

However, a relative of Cannon's, Linda Cannon (her relationship to the singer was not detailed), reportedly told E! News on Thursday, "Yes, we know. He called us and told us all about it. We are happy for him. If that is what he wants then we are happy for him. I'm not going to give you any details, but we are happy for him."

Carey, 38 and Cannon, 27, reportedly have been dating for less than two months, which is half as long as Cannon was going out with Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks when he proposed to her with a 15-carat stone via a JumboTron in New York's Times Square. Cannon and Ebanks broke up in October.

Last week, Carey was spotted wearing a large diamond ring that began the speculation that she and Cannon were an item. According to The Associated Press, Jacob quickly put out a press release about the ring Cannon reportedly gave Carey, which described it as "crafted from platinum and features a square emerald cut fancy light pink diamond as the center stone surrounded by 58 intense pink diamonds and two half moon diamonds on each side. ... The total carat weight of the ring — center stone is 10 carats — is a jaw-dropping 17 carats with a value of $2.5 million."

On Friday, People.com reported that Jacob (whose last name is Arabo) told them, "The way he came into the store, the mood he was in, I knew this was very serious. He said 'Jacob, I'm in love. This is what I want to do.' He said he wanted something in pink, so he picked something in a light purple-ish pink. He was very involved and he trusted me to design the ring."

Arabo reportedly added, "He loves her. That's all I know."

A number of media outlets have speculated that this episode is a publicity stunt, though the couple have been seen in public numerous times since Cannon filmed a cameo in the video for Carey's new single, "Bye Bye," several months ago.

Carmen Electra is engaged to her boyfriend, guitarist Rob Patterson, her rep Jill Fritzo confirms to PEOPLE.

"He told friends three days ago that he got engaged," adds a source. "The ring is a black diamond set in white diamonds."

This will be the third marriage for the actress-model, who was previously wed to rocker Dave Navarro and, briefly, to NBA star Dennis Rodman.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are ready to make beautiful music together. A source close to Mariah has confirmed to “AccessHollywood” that the music diva is engaged to the “Drumline” star. Reps for both singers were unavailable for comment. The couple sent the rumor mill into overdrive when 38-year-old Mariah (with Nick on her arm) was seen sporting a dazzling new piece of bling on her ring finger at the afterparty for her Tribeca film, “Tennessee, in New York.” When asked at the party what he loved about Mariah, Nick said “everything.”

Heidi Klum's engagement ring didn't go for the obvious ringWhen Seal proposed to Victoria's Secret model Heidi Klum, he flew her by helicopter to the top of a glacier and popped the question inside an igloo he'd had built especially. They are a very cool couple who choices: the sparkler that sealed the deal is this huge yellow diamond, mounted on yellow gold. Natural yellow diamonds are a rarity, particularly of this size.
