Washington, DC, United States (AHN) – Former U.S. President Bill Clinton needs to lose 15 pounds before he can walk his daughter down the aisle. Chelsea Clinton, who is engaged to investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, told her father to lose some weight in time for her wedding.
Speaking at a fiscal summit in Washington D.C., the older Clinton revealed that he was asked by his daughter to get in shape before the big event this summer, the New York Post said.
He said, “She doesn’t think I’m in shape to handle it. You know, she told me the other day, she said, ‘Dad the only thing you got to do is walk me down the aisle and you need to look good.’ ”
“So I said, ‘Well, what’s your definition?’ And she said: ‘Oh, about 15 pounds.’ So I’m halfway home.”
Bill still has a few months to go. He is set to walk Chelsea down the aisle in July for her wedding

Whether it’s the marriage of a dear friend or family member or someone I don’t know well at all, I’m guaranteed to cry during the ceremony when the couple exchanges vows. I’m also guaranteed to cry during any speeches or toasts at the reception. I think the only time I didn’t cry during a wedding toast was when I gave one at my sister’s wedding, and that’s only because my fear of speaking in front of a crowd was more powerful than my emotions about the moment.
In her “Wedding Book,” celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss writes that “toasts are one of the highlights of the wedding.”

So how do you decide who should speak, and when? And should you talk to them about what they’ll say beforehand?
Weiss says that you shouldn’t have everyone in your wedding party give a toast.
“Too many can bog down a wedding,” she writes in “The Wedding Book.” “So can toasts that go on and on.”
No toast should last more than five minutes, she says.
Toast Timing
Mindy suggests having the bride’s parents welcome the guests as the first course is served and then invite up the groom’s parents if desired.
The best man, she says, should give his toast “toward the end of the first course or during the second course,” followed by the maid of honor if you choose to have her speak.
As for the bride and groom, she recommends that they speak at the cake cutting.

As the entertainment reporters and bloggers of the world strive to cook up a clever Titanic reference this headline, the underlying story is one of the most searched for topics on the Internet tonight.
Leonardo DiCaprio and his on-again off-again girlfriend Bar Refaeli are allegedly planning to wed.
The evidence? Not much exists for now. The report, however, surfaced when Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli were spotted hot and heavy at a basketball game in LA.
Was Bar wearing a rock on her finger at the game?
Nope. Her finger wasn’t sporting anything like the Titanic jewel than fell into the ocean. And it makes sense, given her attitude toward marriage – at least these days.
Leo’s gal pal has reportedly been telling friends that 24 is too young to marry and that she is in no hurry to tie the knot.
Millions of Leonardo DiCaprio’s wannabe girlfriends are in no hurry either for him to marry bar either. For now, they’re keeping hope alive.

This weekend my mother and I did a “site survey” for my wedding.
Unique ideas for a guest book for your wedding day.
More PhotosWe staked out a wedding taking place at the church where I’m getting married in less than three weeks to see how everything unfolded. Parked strategically across the street from the church, we were able to observe what time the bridal party arrived, where guests were parking, and what time the ceremony started and ended. I even snuck unobtrusively into the back of the church to take a peek at the proceedings in progress!
The experience gave us some good ideas for the logistics on my wedding day. And now that I’ve tackled the wedding day timeline, the next step is communicating all of that logistical information to the wedding party and family members involved.

Many brides choose to preserve their bridal bouquet as a memento of the wedding. The odds are very strong indeed that the bouquet after a time , will end up after all in storage ( which after all often means someplace no one recalls or even remembers). Keep this in mind if you decide to take your bouquet to your local favorite florist for preservation : after all the process will probably cost you more than the bouquet initially did itself. There are , however cheaper and more practical ways , after all , to preserve the bouquet itself. If you do decide to take advantage of them, you can spend the money on something else – for example your honeymoon.

Well , you thought that you could meet your budget. But know you know more places where you could after all use the advice and products of a good florist. Now the issue of your budget , and how much funds that you have allocated portions of your budget to floral arrangements rears its head again. If you want more than you think prudence allows do not overlook the option of silk. When done well . silk flower arrangements can be as lovely as the “real thing” – and they even look more than real and realistic. With silk flowers you can even get a broader choice of colors. And while it can be said that real flowers perish and die quickly, leaving you to lament , money spent on something that just do not last long , silk flowers after all can be kept as decorations or keepsakes long after your wedding day and festivities.
If you cannot bear the thought and thoughts of not being able to smell the wedding flowers, but like the advantages of silk , compromise : use live where it is important to you and silk in other areas. Some brides actually have two bouquet made up , one real , the other one silk. The bride can then keep which either one they prefer and use the other one for the infamous ( or famous) bouquet toss.

The mothers of the marrying couple usually receive special corsages just before the ceremony begins. However if your ceremony includes any readings concerning the importance of family ( or similar elements), you may well decide to incorporate the act of passing along those flowers as part of the wedding itself.
Now you do won’t forget wedding flowers for the mothers , but what about grandmothers, great grandmothers , great-grandparents or Godmothers attending the ceremony who are special to you. You might want to recognize them with a gift of flowers as well.
Flowers for the men are pretty simple. The ushers wear boutonnieres , usually a carnation or a rose. Sometimes the boutonniere is dyed to match the bridesmaid’s dresses , some of the time it is simply white in colour. The groom wears a lapel spray to match the bride’s bouquet , or a traditional boutonniere. The fathers usually have a boutonnieres similar to those worn by ushers.
