DIY Bride™

Well, lovebirds, those of you thinking about migrating over to Vegas for a quicky wee-hours-of-the morning ceremony are out of luck if you don’t plan ahead.

Beginning Wednesday, August 30, there will be no 24-hour marriage license service at the Clark County offices (the only place to get a license). They’re cutting back the 24-hour service to cut costs. Licenses will be issued only from 8 a.m. – midnight daily.

You can still have a ceremony after midnight — if you already have a license.

For more info contact the Clark County Clerk’s office.

Because, deep down, you really care…

Oh la la, mes amies there’s been much movement on the celebrity wedding front.

The latest scoop is that Madonna and Mr. Madonna (Guy Ritchie, in case you forgot) are set to renew their wedding vows once Madge’s current tour is over. Awww. (scooped by FemaleFirst )

Pam Anderson + Kid Rock got hitched in San Tropez last week aboard a beautiful yacht. It was a grand affair. The bride wore a mini dress and brand new Botox; the groom, jeans and a t-shirt (presumably without stains). Weddings are klassy gigs, y’all. Oh, yeah, they had a second ceremony a few days later in Detroit to make it all legal. (image Anorak )

“Rocker” Avril Levigne and Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley were married in mid-July. I have nothing really snarky to say here. They make a cute couple. (scooped by Canada.com)

The paparazzi are stalking Tom Cruise and Kate Holmes as their wedding day approaches. No official date as been released but Tom was quoted as saying they’re having a late-Summer wedding. It’s now August, so…. where’s my invite? The rumour mill is the fete will happen at either John Travolta’s home or the Montecito, CA, estate of The Oprah. May they have a lifetime of happiness.

Who do you think will be the next celebrity couple to tie the knot?
