Now you can choose your engagement and wedding rings right at the comfort of your home with Amazon. You get to choose exactly what you want — size, shape, setting, color — without the pressure and awkwardness of having a salesman hovering over you. And because there are no overhead costs, buying over Amazon saves you money could be spending on your other wedding needs.

Try it for yourself:

Open up Amazon's Create Your Own Ring page, and the first thing you'll encounter is a set of sliding bars to help you narrow your choices and select your diamond. Start by picking your diamond shape. Then you can further refine your search by adjusting the sliders to set a range for price, carat weight, cut, color, and clarity. You can click "see results" at any point in the process to view all the diamonds that match your criteria.

Once you've found and selected the diamond you want, you will move on to choose the setting. Here, you can narrow your choices to a particular style of setting or a specific metal type. The images will show you how your diamond will look mounted in the setting.

After you've chosen the setting that appeals to you, all that remains is to select the ring size, and then-you're ready to order!

I got the following email recently:

Dear Gloria

I run an advice website for grooms called GroomPower.com. I set the site up after my own wedding - there are so many helpful websites out there for brides but hardly any for grooms (and we need all the help we can get!). The site focuses on the groom's responsibilities - planning the honeymoon, writing a speech, buying the rings, and so on. The site is only a couple of months old, but so far we've received some really positive feedback.

I wonder if you would consider reviewing the site in one of your blog posts on White Lace Wedding? I am sure that readers of the blog would find it an interesting and helpful resource. In particular we are finding that women are visiting the site and recommending it to their fiances. Please do get in touch if you'd like more information.

Many thanks for your time
Benjamin Parker

Here's a recently launched online wedding planner: www.MyWeddingWorkbook.com that is free for anyone to use. There is a great story behind it, as told to me by Jeff Kear:

My business partner Steve initially built it for his then-fiancee Tammy, so she could plan her wedding the way she wanted (she is a stickler for details and was turned off by how the other online planners weren't well integrated and left things out). She showed it to her friends, who all loved it and thought it would be great if we could beef it up and let other brides use it. So that's what we have done...

Now, www.MyWeddingWorkbook.com have more than 1,500 DIY brides-to-be using it, and if you want you can either create your own account or view a demo account here.

What are you waiting for? Try it NOW!

It was like going back and forth for Salma Hayek. You know, announcing her engagement and then canceling it months later.

But then finally, she and beau François-Henri Pinault finally got married on Valentine's Day in Paris. The said wedding was really low key and might be the reason why they're having a "wedding redo" in Venice - a party to celebrate their wedding with family and friends. Since their wedding in Paris was just attended by few.

So they finally got married. I hope they won't be announcing any divorce sometime in the future. The couple already has a daughter, 1-year old Valentina.

May 7 marks the 100th episode of ABC's top-rating medical drama — Grey's Anatomy.

Will this be a nice day for a Grey's wedding?

Shonda Rhimes - creator of Grey's Anatomy- was quoted saying:

"The only thing I'll tell you about the 100th [episode] is that it takes place on Meredith and Derek's wedding day. That's big and that's all I'm going to say."

Well...let's all hope that the Meredith-Derek wedding goes without a hitch (unlike Cristina and Burke's wedding!). So, Grey's fans...watch out for May 7 and we'll all see what gives.

Funny guy - David Letterman - secretly married his long-time girlfriend last Thursday.

Regina Lasko, mother of Letterman's 5-year old son Harry, has been dating Letterman since 1986. (I assume they live together all these years.)

From Reuters:

Letterman, 61, and Regina Lasko tied the knot during a courthouse ceremony near their Montana ranch last Thursday. The couple, who have been dating since 1986, were accompanied by their 5-year-old son, Harry.

Well...that is quite a feat. Considering that David Letterman has avoided getting married in the lest 23 years. Congratulations to the happy couple.

"Wedding Crashers" star Vince Vaughn, 38 got engaged to Canadian gal pal Kyla Weber, a 29-year-old real estate agent from Calgary.

Apparently, funnyman Vince got down on his knees last Valentine's day and popped the question with a $125,000, four-carat diamond ring.

So goodbye wedding crashing, welcome wedding planning for Vince Vaughn. But knowing how tight lipped Vince is about his private life, I wonder if we are getting any wedding details from him.

Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria is scheduled to wed in the summer of 2010.

Crown Princess Victoria, 31 will get married to her boyfriend of 7 years, Daniel Westling, age 35.

The wedding will give Daniel the title Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland, but he will not be in line to succeed the Swedish throne because of the fact that Daniel is of neither royal or noble ancestry.
