If what reports are saying is really true - Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green got married while vacationing in Hawaii - then that's really fast!
Less than 2 weeks ago. they've just announced their engagement. A second engagement in fact for this couple who have been on-again and off-again in the past.
While we were all waiting for the announcement of a wedding date, they finally made it and tied the knot! I just hope that their Hawaiian wedding wasn't a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing. We don't don't wanna hear these two getting divorced and then married again and divorced again..don't we?
At least, their idea of a small wedding really happened this time. Congratulations Megan and Brian and all the best wishes!

In Vatican City (Italy), Mena Suvari (age 31) married Italian concert producer Simone Sestito (age 25) in a private church. The couple met at the Toronto Film Festival in 2007 and have been dating since 2008. They chose Rome for their wedding location because most of Sestito's family lives near there.
A wedding guest was quoted saying: "The ceremony was truly unique and Mena looked breathtaking. They are very much in love." A private reception following their wedding ceremony was held outside of Rome.
If you still remember, Mena Suvari was first married to German-born cinematographer Robert Brinkmann in 2000 and then later divorced in 2005.

Prince Albert with Charlene Wittstock
A bachelor Prince for a long time, Prince Albert is now engaged to Charlene Wittstock -- a South African ex-swimming champion who is 20 years his junior.
Prince Albert (age 52) said on Thursday: "I know the Monagesque population was waiting for this moment."
In the past, Prince Albert has gained too much press attention for dating well-known fashion models and actresses. But then his apparent disinclination to marry gave rise to rumors that he is homosexual. On this issue, he was quoted saying: "At first it was amusing, but it becomes very irritating in the long term to hear people say that I am homosexual".
He has consistently denied such rumors and then later confirmed that he is the father of two children.

My two very favorite personalities got married: Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart!
Last Tuesday, in a secret ceremony at the Governor's mansion in Santa Fe, New Mexico (where Harrison Ford is filming Cowboys and Aliens), the couple finally tied the knot. The couple has been together for 8 long years already and only got engaged 3 years ago.
Twice-divorced, top-grossing actor of all time Harrison Ford has warmed up to marrying again. They have an adopted son, Liam (age 9).
Harrison Ford is 67 years old while Calista Flockhart is 45. Calista was reported to be 'thrilled' at getting married for the first time.
Well I hope this will be the last marriage of each of them. It would be nice to see them growing old together.

Of course you can always cut your wedding guest list to save money, but even that may not be full enough to lower the costs of food.
Here are a few suggested tricks in order to lower the costs of your wedding food:
1. Order in Season
Make sure to pick out menu items that are in season and locally grown. The food will not only taste better with those but will certainly cost a lot less.
2. Pass Hors d'Oeuvres
Instead of setting up a buffet, have waiters pass appetizers during the cocktail hour. This way, people will tend to pick one item at a time instead of loading their plates full every time.
3. Enlist a Culinary School
Instead of a country club or a catering restaurant, why not enlist a culinary school to take care of our wedding food, cake and reception in general. You can end up cutting the bill to as much as 60%. Also, a bunch of students can attend to your wedding guests during the reception, making them feel truly pampered.
4. Stick to Cake
For most wedding guests, cake is enough dessert. So there really is no need for a separate dessert buffet table.
5. Scale Back Menu Options
Instead of multiple entrees, stick to just one or two but similarly priced. Bottomline, your guests wouldn't mind if that is the case.
6. Order Brunch
Instead of major meals, make your wedding reception a brunch reception. The cost would certainly be a lot lower as compared to opting for a major meal.
7. Skip the Shots
If hosting an open bar, ask the bartenders to adhere to a "no shot" policy to help keep down the added costs of late-night trips to the bar.
8. Schedule at Off Times
Like what is mentioned in the previous item, opting for an off-time schedule (like brunch!) will be a lot cheaper than major meals. Just make sure your guests know before hand that you are serving brunch instead.
9. Create Kids' Meals
For younger guests, have your caterer create a smaller plate. That's definitely a lot cheaper. This is also way of not wasting food as kids don't normally consume food as much as adults do.
10. BYOB
There's no harm in bringing your own wine bottles to your wedding reception. This way you can buy in bulk from a local liquor store and discount clubs that caters to non-members. Bulk buying is lot cheaper of course!
