What was nine feet around, weighed 300 pounds, and was 14 inches high? Give up? Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's wedding cake. Though that much of any baked item is extreme, most about-to-be-betrothed couples choose to have some form of sugary deliciousness to cap off their wedding. No longer relegated to three-tiered, white-icing cakes, the reception dessert table now often presents tasty delights such as cupcakes, fine chocolates, or make-your-own sundaes. Check out the numerous bakeries listed to find the confection creator that's just right for you.

In addition to legally binding yourself to the one you love-and having a great party-weddings are arranged to have all eyes on the bride as she glides down the aisle to her beloved. As such, at the top of her to-do list is sorting out hair and makeup. Some coiffures specialize in up-dos, while others focus on giving you the perfect cut. Then there's your mug-finding the artist who understands your look is key, whether it be gothic, understated, scary clown, or a natural look. Fortunately, there are a plethora of options to choose from on these pages, whether you're looking to get just your tresses done, focus solely on makeup artistry, or need a combination of the two.

I'm wondering if Mondial is still in business? They contacted us in January to tell us that they were going out of business and that they would have to cancel our reservation for a May 2009 rehearsal dinner. They had already cashed our $1,000 deposit check but promised to refund it by the end of January. They have not refunded that money, nor have they even returned our calls/emails in the last two months. Please be very wary of hiring them given their apparent book-keeping/ service issues.
