Weddings!!! In!!! Space!!!

Okay, so taking the “Pigs in Space” theme song and applying it to weddings and Sir Richard Branson doesn’t work the way you’d think it would, but I tried. A couple of days ago, the Daily Mail reported that Sir Richard Branson was all set to marry a couple in space sometime next year on Virgin Galactic. I’m not sure this will qualify as a spot that 99.999% of people are going to be able to afford to get married (or even take the trip, frankly), but it’s an interesting concept nonetheless - talk about destination wedding.

Sarah Silverman isn’t digging the marriage thing, huh?

TMZ was cruising LAX this week, and caught up with Sarah Silverman, asking her what her thoughts were on getting hitched to beau Jimmy Kimmel. Needless to say, it wasn’t exactly humor-filled, but it was of interest nonetheless.

How not to look cool proposing

Okay, this is “impressive” if you really think about it, but that doesn’t mean you look cool doing it. The Star-Ledger’s Kelly Heyboer has a story about Bernie Peng, a New Jersey resident who spent a month reprogramming Bejeweled 2 so that his girlfriend would see a message with his marriage proposal once she reached a certain score.

Talk about customization. Some people think they’re cool for getting a plane to write in the clouds, others choose to go the Yankee Stadium scoreboard route, this guy rewrites a slew of code to put something in a place where his wife-to-be couldn’t possibly expect it, I guess. Wow.

Worst. Cake topper. Ever.

Okay, maybe it’s not the worst, but many people would consider it such, no? WeddingCollectibles.com features the Models # 8513/8512 for your purchase pleasure, the bride and groom who just can’t put down their cellphones.

Now I don’t know about you, but I’ve already been given the heads up that my devices won’t be making their way to the altar, though maybe I’ll scam a camera or something into the reception just because I’m such a photo-head. Suggesting these cake toppers might be a good way, though, to see how your future spouse might feel about the whole cellphone-at-the-wedding thing.

How not to be scruffy AND have good breath

Web Ink Now’s David Meerman Scott shares links to a couple of key things that all men should probably keep in mind, especially those in a relationship. In this case, it’s oral health and some solid tips on shaving, and he’s got two ebooks full of directives and suggestions having to do with both.

Just a thought. You know, like when your best man hands you a piece of chewing gum.

Push-up bras win!

Over at StyleDash, Josh Loposer details the news that according to a survey by Debenham’s in the UK, the push-up bra is the #1 fashion invention. Ever. I, for one, welcome our foam, liquid, or mystically magical bust improvers, and I’m presuming that most Groomify readers would agree.

While we’re on the topic, I’d just like to point out that the featured photo on our front page was of this item from Victoria’s Secret, the Infinity Edge ™ bra. Forget “it lifts and separates!” - this thing “eliminates the line between you and your bra.” And who doesn’t like that?

Blatant chick commentary

Rehashing a joke that’s been around for… well, as long as James Bond has been around, woot’s Matthew Norman posted 12 Rejected Names for Bond Girls. Nice.

On BridesDecide

Okay, I think I’m with Lish Dorset’s initial thinking on BridesDecide.com, the recently created election-focused site for brides (by brides?), in that it seems kind of random. All that said, should those about to participate in some nuptials be pondering how the upcoming presidential election might have a bearing on their future? Probably.

Then again, I’m filing it with the list of stuff that as a guy, I just don’t really have a big interest in finding out about - you know, like Hillary & Bill Clinton’s wedding.

Ice cream + Guinness = ???

Dethroner leads us to what looks to be a killer recipe for homemade ice cream, for those of us who have the hardware to make it - Guinness flavored. I mean, who wouldn’t want to tap into a bit of that instead of heading to the 7-11 or grocery store for some Vanilla, Chocolate & Strawberry? Sure, you won’t be getting your drink on, but Guinness is only like 150 calories anyway, so at least you’re splurging here.
