This is it… The final countdown to your big day. And along with settling those last few details — figuring out where to seat your eccentric Uncle Carl, firming up the flowers, deciding on your first dance song — you’re likely also making one last push to make sure the body that will be wearing that gorgeous white gown looks as good as it possibly can. You and nearly every other woman with an engagement ring on her finger. In fact, research shows that an overwhelming 91 percent of brides-to-be are anxious about their weight. But from here on out, you won’t have to be!

Whether you want to drop those last few pounds or look more toned — or both — we’ve got a month’s worth of daily tips (none of which require starving yourself or working out nonstop!) that will help you feel stunning and confident when you walk down that aisle. You know where to send the thank-you card. Let’s get started!

Day 13: Aim to Get Seven Hours of Sleep a Night

Easier said than done, we know, when you have 500 wedding tasks swimming through your head all night. But getting a good night’s rest — and for most people, that means seven hours of shut-eye — can actually make a big impact on your weight. Lack of sleep alters levels of two hunger-related hormones, which will not only make you crave fatty, salty, and simple carb-y foods, but also dampen your body’s “I’m full” response, causing you to overeat. A study at the University of Colorado found that people who didn’t get adequate sleep for just five nights gained an average of two pounds. But other research has shown that the flip side is also true: Get a good night’s sleep and your odds of losing weight jump by 33 percent.

Here are some tips for making sure those seven hours of rest are actually restful:

Try to wake up and go to bed at around the same time each day. It helps set your body’s internal clock so you sleep more soundly.

Make sure your room is cool, dark and quiet. If your guy’s a snorer, wear earplugs.

Get off screens — your smartphone, laptop… — an hour before you hit the sack. The blue light they emit can suppress melatonin and stimulate your brain to stay awake.

Skip the nightcap. Yes, alcohol might help you nod off faster, but as it wears off, it has a rebound effect that will disrupt your sleep so try to avoid it for several hours before bedtime.

Set the sleep timer if you need TV to nod off. It doesn’t mess with your sleep the way your iPhone does, but you don’t want to wake up at 2 A.M. and get sucked into an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

If you’re planning to do a rain dance or bury a bottle of bourbon to try to deter even a single drop from falling on your wedding day, pause to read these brides stories and you might find you want to pack a poncho instead.

“My mother-in-law, ever the planner, checked the weather forecast for our wedding day several days in advance. Once she saw there was a chance of rain, she picked up matching black umbrellas for everyone in the wedding party to have on hand. And when our photographer saw all of us with our umbrellas arriving at our house, the scene of our post-ceremony photos, it gave her an idea. She instructed us to hold up the matching black umbrellas on the front porch of our 1920’s Tudor-style home. The result was one of my favorite photos from the entire wedding: The bridesmaids were all dressed in black dresses, the groomsmen in black suits, me in my white gown, my husband in his black tuxedo and everyone was smiling through the rain while holding our black umbrellas. It’s a stunning black-and-white photo that captures the timelessness we were going for in our wedding decor and photos, and the element of fun we incorporated throughout the big day.” — Lauren

“It poured on our wedding day. Our picture session got cut drastically short as everyone was getting soaked and we were all freezing. I got my dress muddy, and I ruined my hair running from the church to the limo after the ceremony. We had a BBQ dinner planned, as our venue had a huge patio — for which I had painstakingly planned the decor. Needless to say, the patio was closed completely for the duration of the reception, and the BBQ turned into a strange makeshift buffet set up in the venue. And the ambience was somewhat detracted from with the huge yellow ‘wet floor’ signs everywhere. But rain didn’t ruin our day. The thunderstorm was atmospheric in our reception venue, which featured glass walls, and it also made everything dark and cozy, which complemented the candlelight inside. The photos?
Well, I didn’t get many of the outdoor nature shots I’d hoped for, but our photographer captured some awesome candid shots of us all huddled in the limo, the girls wrapped in the men’s’ damp jackets, drinking champagne and laughing. And best of all, the rain kept everyone together. The dance floor was packed and everyone socialized in the reception area, while on a sunny evening, they would have been scattered around the patio and venue gardens.” — Christina

“We were married in September on an island off the coast of Maine. It was an outdoor ceremony and the week leading up to our nuptials was perfect: clear skies, high 70s, and no chance of rain. The morning before our wedding, it was beautiful out. It wasn’t until I was dressed and ready to go that the skies started to darken. The rain held out until we said, ‘I do.’ Moments later, it started to drizzle and we all moved under the tent. Thankfully we had one. Like all true island weddings in Maine, however, the ground was just grass so as the rain started to pour, everyone kicked off their wedding shoes and danced in the mud. Our photos were absolutely gorgeous. In the background you can see huge clouds rolling in and the sky darkening. I don’t think our photos would have been half as magical had there been clear skies. And while my wedding dress got stained all across the hem with mud, I didn’t get upset. I kicked off my sandals and danced in it. Afterward, I never got my dress professionally cleaned. Now every time I see that mud stain on the bottom, I’m reminded of how beautiful that day was. I’m also reminded that sometimes when things go wrong in life, it’s best to just embrace the storm and ride it out. Something amazing can come out of it.” — Laura

“I was married two years ago in what can only be described as a monsoon in Florida. Our wedding was all outdoors; we were promised the venue had never had a wash out. Well, we set the record. It rained sideways for hours. The venue was flooded up to the mid-calf level. The cake was sitting in an un-air conditioned garage — which doubled as the groom’s quarters — sweating. But somehow the rain only delayed our wedding 30 minutes. I told my bridesmaids to bustle me up — the rain was over, but the mud was there to stay — and to get everyone in line. Our friends and family scrabbled to get the chairs dry and the decorations out. A few items had to be ditched, but no one noticed. I was never once anxious, which isn’t like me at all. All I can remember is my groom telling me no matter what he would marry me. And we did — we got married. Because of the storm, the sunset was so stunning it made our photos magical. You would never know it was the wedding that almost wasn’t. The real kicker is my new sisters-in-law carrying the sweating cake to its home through a gate and winding path and a tiny wooden bridge. It was the most magical day of my life.” — Michelle

“My husband and I chose our wedding venue because of all the outdoor photo-ops. A barn, lake and an apple orchard sealed the deal. We planned our ceremony in the apple orchard. I had ornate vintage details like gold frames and paper fans ready to hang on trees. We had a special arch made out of branches for the alter. And we splurged for a hot apple cider station to warm up guests on our fall morning affair. Then, it rained and everything was wet. We could have still held the wedding outside, but I didn’t want our hair to get frizzy. So we moved it inside and actually scored big. Our guests were going to stand outside for our quick vow exchange since the venue charged an absurd amount for chairs. But inside, the chairs we free! And I got great photos using pretty white umbrellas as photo props.” — Joelle

“We had a backyard wedding at my best friend’s home outside of Chicago. It was in the 80s and humid, and right as we said our vows, the ominous clouds erupted into thunder. We all kind of giggled — small wedding, 60-some guests. As we walked down the aisle as man and wife, it started to sprinkle, then it rained harder. Everyone scrambled to the tent where the reception was to be held. It only rained for about 20 minutes, and then a gorgeous rainbow came out, the temperature dropped ,and humidity broke. It was like God orchestrated the timing on the whole thing. And I have the pictures to prove it.” — Susan

“There were multiple road and bridge closures in the area that affected our guests’ ability to get to the church on time. Then, our reception hall’s basement flooded, knocking out the facility’s furnace. So, we had an unheated reception in Illinois in February. Our guests wore winter coats over their finery while eating. And after the reception, on the way to our wedding night accommodations, we navigated flooded roads in an unrelenting rain storm. But rain did not ruin our wedding day. The goal of a wedding is to get married — and that was accomplished. As long as the bride, groom, and officiant show up, isn’t that what matters? Plus, my husband and I were both old enough at the time of our wedding to know there is no such thing as a perfect day. Things happen. Weather happens. Wardrobe malfunctions happen. Events don’t always go according to plan. You just roll with whatever life throws you and consider it an adventure.” — Leigh

“Having in August wedding in Florida meant a few sprinkles as the ceremony ended. Several guests had walked from the hotel to the ceremony, so I felt terrible that my guests would get wet! It was a struggle for me and my new husband to get into our limo without getting soaked. But, this was the perfect occasion for the guys attending to show how great of gentlemen they were. They held doors and helped people in and out of cars as we went from the ceremony at a local church to the reception at the hotel. The rain actually helped cool the temperature too.” — Theresa

On your wedding day, there’s nothing like honoring the loved ones in your life with something old and borrowed, or you know, several of both. From cuddly handmade quilts that will wrap your guests in love to coveted family recipes passed down for generations, here are four creative ways to incorporate family heirlooms into your wedding.

1. Wrap your guests in grandma’s quilt
Calling all alfresco brides! According to Chancey Charm Houston wedding planner Skylar Caitlin, heirloom quilts and blankets can be strategically used for an outdoor wedding. Consider placing them in a box near your lounge seating for guests taking a break from the dance floor, she advises. “And if you’re the cheesy, sweet type, you could even add a sign that reads ‘wrapped up in love’. Your guests will love that you thought about their comfort and you’ll adore the photo opportunities it creates for the heirlooms.”

2. Toast with heirloom champagne glasses
Wedding planner Samantha Wiley of Chancey Charm Charleston loves incorporating unexpected, and sometimes even unnoticed, heirlooms into a wedding. “Whether it’s toasting with your great grandmother’s champagne coupes or adding ambiance with your grandfathers brass candlesticks, having these antique pieces surrounding you on your big day makes your wedding that much more special,” she says. Plus, it can always be your little secret! “I personally think it’s sweet when just a few people know about these heirlooms at the wedding.”

3. Share a family recipe (and give guests a taste too!)
For the foodie bride, why not have someone in the family make a dessert from a passed down recipe, suggests wedding and event planner Cat Feliciano, CEO of Events by Cat. Include the recipe on postcards for the guests to take and communicate the meaning behind the dessert in a frame by it, she says. “I worked with a couple that chose to do something like this and had a thin layer cake called Baumkuchen Tree Cake displayed with a tent card explaining the special meaning to the family. It was a beautiful dessert and the guests loved the sentiment.” Another idea would be to use a family recipe for your favors (think cookies or biscuits!), offers Charleston-based wedding planner Francesca DiSalvo-Follmer of Pure Luxe Bride.

4. Decorate your bouquet with heirloom jewelry
An heirloom brooch is a no brainer, of course, but what about something like a family watch, bracelet, necklace or even a rosary, recommends Chancey Charm Richmond wedding planner Alana Futcher. “Wrapping your bouquet is always a good sentiment and you can use anything to do so,” she notes. “Also, as heirlooms often include pieces of jewelry, while you use the original heirloom you can have your girls wear cloned pieces that look just like it!”

Weddings can certainly be a bit cheesy — and if you and your fiancé are mad about the good stuff than you’ll love all the ways you can incorporate cheese into your wedding day. From bar snacks to appetizers and mains and even dessert, there’s no limit to the number of ways you can celebrate cheese at the same time as celebrating you. Just try one of these delicious, ooey-gooey cheese recipes below.

Goat Cheesecake with Figs, Pecans, and Honey (Above)

Pepper Jack Crackers
Skip lining the bar with traditional snacks like peanuts and opt for these savory, slightly spicy crackers instead. Made with flavorful pepper jack, they also make a good alternative to a bread basket. Get the recipe here.

Cheesy Pigs in a Blanket

Balsamic Blueberry Grilled Cheese
This sandwich is a jack of all trades: A tasty appetizer, a delicious main course, or a sweet and savory dessert! Stuffed with a jammy mixture of tart blueberries, brown sugar and vinegar, this sweet sandwich gets its balance from arugula and creamy Havarti or White Cheddar. Get the recipe here.

Lemon Cheesecake Doughnuts

You will never look or feel more beautiful than on your wedding day. Beaming from the inside out, you’ve been professionally made up and coiffed, and everything is perfect. Then, as fast as you can say “I do,” many brides wake up the next morning and head straight to a long flight (and jet lag) en route to their honeymoons. Fear not! Keep that beautiful bridal glow and arrive to your honeymoon fresh-faced and ready to embrace your first trip as Mr. and Mrs. by following these 6 tips.

Hydrate
Drink up! Water, that is. Save the indulgences for your destination and focus on hydrating beverages such as water, coconut water, natural juice or decaffeinated tea. Alcohol and caffeine can cause dehydration, resulting in tired, dry skin. No, thank you. While you may need some Starbucks to wake up for an early flight, try to limit it to that. Your skin, and complexion will thank you.

Moisturize
This is a no-brainer. Not only will flying and traveling dry out your skin, chances are your skin can use some TLC after wearing professional makeup, crying happy tears, and sipping one too many celebratory cocktails on your big day. External moisture is just as important as hydrating internally.

Eye Cream
It’s simple — if you don’t use one regularly, it’s about time to start. And regardless of whether you slather it on religiously or are a first-timer, the right eye cream can really help to keep eyes bright, tight and alert. (Or at least help to fake it!) Look for eye potions specializing in brightening and cooling specifically for in-flight treatments.

Lip Treatment
Altitude and dry air can also lead to cracked, dry lips — NOT what you want heading into your honeymoon where tons of kisses are inevitable. Combat these unpleasant possibilities by liberally applying a lip balm the moment you feel you need it. Start with a scrub (you should do this prior to the wedding for extra kissable lips on your wedding day!) to exfoliate and follow it with a hydrating and soothing treatment. Then, pucker up!

Beauty Sleep
There’s a reason it’s called beauty sleep. If the time zones and flight schedules allow, try to catch some quality slumber. In the restorative phase, sleep can help repair cellular damage, dehydration, and help you avoid those dreaded dark circles and under-eye bags. If you have trouble sleeping in flight be prepared with a comfy neck pillow and eye mask to make the most of your nap.

Touch Ups
Packing your entire makeup bag in your carry on just won’t do. But with the help of a few essentials, you can fool onlookers by looking rested, bright eyed and bushy tailed when you arrive. You’ll be surprised at what a bit of under eye concealer, a créme blush that doubles as tinted lip balm, and a coat of mascara can do after a long flight.

Have you ever seen a groom wear a kilt on the beach? Neither had we, until now. When Stephanie and Andrew got engaged in Cabo San Lucas, two years after they met at a tech conference in Las Vegas, they knew exactly where they would say “I do”: On the beach in Sayulita, Mexico. “My family has been spending the holidays there since I was a child, and Andrew fell in love with it during his first visit. Thank goodness, since he didn’t actually visit Sayulita until after we’d sent out our save the dates!” says Stephanie. For their May 9, 2015, wedding, the couple booked a private residence, Villa del Oso, as the setting for their 125-person bash. The beachfront estate, with stunning sunset views, was the perfect place for their sunny celebration!

Stephanie and Andrew pulled out all the stops for their big day, serving amazing local food and flying in a DJ from the U.S. to keep the dance party going all night long — with a few surprises tossed in for good measure. And of course, the Scottish groom made his grand entrance in a kilt! Take a look at this colorful Mexican celebration, photographed by Ryan Flynn Photography, below!

Pops of coral were perfect against the green palm trees and blue ocean. Stephanie found the hints of color in her Christian Louboutin pumps and her bridesmaids’ J.Crew dresses.

The bride caught the sea breeze in a BLISS by Monique Lhuillier mermaid wedding dress with overlapping layers of tulle. “We planned our wedding in six months, so I didn’t have a lot of time to shop for dresses. With this one, I knew I wouldn’t have to fuss over alterations when it came in, which was two weeks before the wedding!” Stephanie says. Her bouquet combined peonies, orchids, and local blooms, with the ruffled petals and yellow centers adding some Mexican flair.

About that kilt: Andrew hails from Scotland, so he wore a traditional kilt in his mother’s tartan. “It’s pretty colorful and has some coral notes in it, so it ended up being perfect alongside everything else,” says the bride.

The villa and surrounding streets provided a unique backdrop for portraits prior to the ceremony, with colorful flags and white stone streets tying right into the couple’s theme.

To complement both the bridesmaids’ dresses and the groom’s punchy attire, Andrew’s groomsmen wore tan suits with coral ties. The mix of neutral and bright hues worked well with the couple’s colorful bash.

The ceremony program featured a blue and coral floral design that was also used on the invitations.

An altar draped with white fabric and tied with roses and greenery was set up on the villa’s lawn, with a perfect view of the ocean. “We had umbrellas set between the benches to shade our guests,” says Stephanie. Everyone was greeted with margaritas and miniature beers to help fight the heat.

The couple wrote their own vows, for two reasons. One, to add a personal touch to the proceedings. The second? “We wanted the ceremony to be quick!” says Stephanie. “We didn’t include any special readings so it wouldn’t last too long.”

With epic views of the ocean, Stephanie and Andrew knew their reception didn’t need much to look incredible. Wooden tables were decorated with blue glassware, coral napkins, and low centerpieces in peach, coral, and white. “We had a lounge area overlooking the water, sting lighting over the tables, and Mexican star lanterns over the dance floor,” says the bride.

With food as a main focus of the event, Andrew and Stephanie offered three entrée options after the grapefruit and avocado salad: Mahi mahi with passion fruit purée, coconut and jasmine rice, and vegetables; chimichurri flank steak with potato planks; and vegetarian risotto. Instead of cake, guests snacked on cheesecake, Belgian chocolate cake, and gelato.

A Mariachi band serenaded guests during dinner, then a DJ took over for the dance party.

Stephanie wouldn’t let a few injuries prevent her from having an incredible wedding. “I suffered a pelvic stress fracture a few months before the wedding, and was on crutches until just a week before I walked down the aisle,” she says. But that’s not all! “An Uber driver slammed my hand in the car door the day before I left for Mexico. I had to wear a brace on my fingers the whole week — thankfully I could take it off for pictures!”

After their first dance, Andrew and Stephanie had a surprise for their guests: A fireworks display! “It was one of my favorite memories. It was a great way to get the party started, and caught everyone off-guard!”

Stephanie is a good reminder that it isn’t worth sweating the small stuff. “I was planning the details instead of enjoying my week in Mexico with everyone, and none of those details ended up being important. What we really remember is the dance party!”

Couples are constantly told that setting up a wedding registry will make it easier for their guests to pick out wedding gifts. However, sometimes it feels like no one told guests that, and they start picking gifts they think the couple will love — even with a perfectly good registry easily accessible on the bride and groom’s wedding website. It can be extra frustrating when you really need new plates or a less-ratty set of towels, so how can you encourage guests to actually buy gifts from your registry? Here are a few tips from our experts.

While you can’t force your guests to get you a particular present, you can do your part in encouraging them to follow your lead. First up? Make sure your wedding registry information is SUPER accessible. Ensure that the page on your wedding website with links to your registries is easy to find and well labeled, and clearly list where you’ve registered. Are you really hoping someone will chip in for those new dishes? Add a note along with the link letting guests know why you registered where you did, whether it’s to finally upgrade from those plastic plates from college or to spring for a new couch for your home together.

The only invitation where etiquette allows you to print your registry information is for your bridal shower, so ask your host to include a list of where you’ve registered along with the invite. Bonus: If there’s one store you’re really hoping guests will head to, only include that store on your invitation, or choose just one other to give guests an option.

And of course, ask your parents and wedding party to spread the word. While cash gifts are great (as are those perks and discounts for shopping where you registered in the months after your wedding!), this is a great way to encourage guests to steer clear of picking up anything off-registry and instead shopping where you’d like them to shop.

It takes a lot of work to pull off the perfect proposal — hours of planning, rehearsing the speech, and having to pick out a beautiful, yet affordable, engagement ring can put tons of pressure on a guy. Which is why we were SO excited when we found out famed photographer Gray Malin ‐ who we actually use for tons of beach honeymoon inspo (seriously, just take a look at his Instagram!) — is getting in on the proposal game. In the first round of his “proposal series,” Malin helped two couples bring their perfect idea of a proposal to life. Here, you can read their adorable stories and see the amazing photos.

Couple #1 — Don and Nicole:

In Don’s perspective — “We have been fans of Malin Gray’s work for years, starting our collection the year that we moved to LA. We both take a lot of pride in our home and are always on the lookout for cool pieces that we’ll be able to keep forever. Our first purchase from Gray was one of his classic beach scenes and we’ve since added several more. When Nicole surprised me with the ‘I AM BUSY’ print, I was inspired to incorporate our shared love of Gray’s work into my wedding proposal.”

“I reached out to Gray to ask if it’d be possible to shoot something with the phrase ‘MARRY ME,’ thinking that I was really setting myself up for disappointment given the demand for his work. But, sure enough, Gray responded and told me how much he loved the idea and that he could shoot it two short weeks later. I was able to curate the entire proposal around the print — which turned out absolutely perfect, I should mention, I decided to recreate the photo in person at our favorite celebration spot, Mr. Chow. Fast forward a few weeks and she said YES!”

As for what was going on in his head before he dropped to one knee, Don told Gray, “I remember pulling up to the restaurant with intense pain in my stomach, hoping that all of the work that I had put into this surprise would play out without any problems. Nicole and I spend all of our time together, so pulling everything off without her knowing was a HUGE feat. I also remember being absolutely speechless as I got down on one knee — fortunately the balloons and the print ‘said’ it all for me.”

And Nicole’s reaction? She told Gray, “Honestly, the fact that Don was able to pull it off is really impressive. He has the hardest time keeping surprises from me and there were so many fine details to the event that I really can’t believe it! We have been dating for several years and grown so much in our time together that I was absolutely overcome with emotion when I realized what was going on. He always goes above and beyond to take care of me, but he totally outdid himself. Seeing the print was the icing on the cake — our shared admiration for Gray’s work is even greater now than before.”

Couple #2 — Jesse and Becky:

In Jesse’s perspective — “Becky bought one of Gray’s Prada Marfa photos years ago. It was really the only piece of art in her studio apartment. When we moved into a one bedroom together, it came along too and had a prominent place on our wall. Becky and Gray actually started to work together on a few projects and she adored him. She always mentioned their projects to me and how much she loved working with him, so I reached out to Gray to create the most special surprise and to be an important part of our engagement.”

As for getting a picture of Becky from above (for the “MARRY ME” photo in Washington Square Park Gray would create), things proved more difficult. “It was easy to photograph me on a knee. I went home and had my dad take a picture of me from above on a balcony while I was across the street. But photographing Becky was hard. How do you take a good, clear picture of your girlfriend from several stories up without giving it away or feeling like a complete pervert? Not easy. So naturally, I decided the best idea was to get Becky drunk. There was one snowstorm that seemed like a good excuse, but the lighting and the depth were off. A few weeks later, I took her to brunch and then we walked along the High Line. I told her I was feeling ‘artsy’ and asked her to stand below the High Line so I could take pictures from above. That should have been a red flag, but she didn’t oppose. Mission accomplished.”

And Becky’s reaction to this well-thought out proposal? “I was incredibly surprised and impressed! He thought about every single detail and crafted such a special proposal. We have always loved Washington Square Park — we live two blocks north and spend a lot of time there so it was very meaningful that he asked me to marry him in the park. I didn’t know at the time that there was one more surprise, which of course, was Gray’s beautiful photograph.”

“After the initial shock wore off, Jesse told me he had one more surprise, which I would get that evening. I had no idea what he had planned. When I got to the bar and saw the photo, I was overwhelmed with love. It is, by far, the most thoughtful gift I have ever received and I can only image the amount of time and effort that went into creating such an incredible piece of art. Before I knew Gray, I loved his work and then when I got to know him, I absolutely adored him, so his involvement in our engagement means the world to me.”

We can’t wait to see more of Malin’s incredible work!

Alessandra Ambrosio sizzled in a thigh-high slit, Camilla Belle was elegant in an illusion neckline, and Kim Kardashian West demonstrated the power of the maxi skirt. Here, the red carpet looks we couldn’t get enough of this week.

Alessandra Ambrosio at The Omega House in Rio de Janeiro Party: When you’re a supermodel, you can look fantastic in just about anything. Case in point: Alessandra Ambrosio this week in Rio. But her look was something to write home about: a white halter top, gold sandals, and a Misha Collection Astrid Skirt. This ensemble screamed engagement party, and would totally start the journey to your wedding with a sartorial bang. Her sleek hair and flawless skin were the perfect complements to the sultry getup, though you could easily wear a ponytail and an eye-catching lip for a pop of color.

Camilla Belle at The Omega House in Rio de Janeiro Party: Carolina Herrera is one of our favorite designers of all time. Whether it’s bridal or the red carpet, few make a dress as beautiful as she does. Camilla Belle slipped on one of her designs this week in Rio: a Short-Sleeve Tulle-Embroidered Midi frock that was the epitome of elegance. Wear this number for your rehearsal dinner if you’re looking to flaunt your decolletage. You’ll definitely want to pull your hair away from your face to let the dress’s neckline play centerstage — pulled back behind your ears like Camilla works, though we also love a simple chignon.

Kim Kardashian at BlogHer 2016: Fashion is all about bringing the boudoir to the street right now: slip dresses and nighty-inspired skirts are all the rage. Kim Kardashian is one of the fans of the trend, and chose a Nili Lotan Maya Skirt to uplift a white t-shirt this week. Her gold Gianvito Rossi sandals anchored her look — perfect for your bachelorette party or post-ceremony brunch. Her sleek angular bob is a great cut to choose if you’re looking to switch up your hair for your wedding, though your voluminous natural curls or iron-created waves would pair amazingly well with this ensemble.

Looks like Jerry Ferrara’s entourage just got a little bigger! The Entourage star has just announced his engagement to actress Breanne Racano in a sweet Instagram spiel. And the bride-to-be’s sparkly solitaire engagement ring is worthy of an entourage of its very own!

“I SAID YES!!! Wait I mean..,” Ferrara jokingly began, captioning a photo of himself embracing his sweetheart. “I’ve had many great blessings in my life. But this one by far is the best of all time. You are the greatest person I ever met!” Racano also posted the celebratory snapshot on her Instagram page, writing “I am so lucky to marry this man.” Aww! And needless to say, she’s also pretty lucky to be rocking such a beautiful bridal bauble. In the photo, the bride-to-be can be seen showing off her engagement ring that features a haute and hefty round-cut solitaire stone. Who knew Turtle had such great taste in jewelry?

According to Us Weekly, the to-be-wedded couple has been dating since 2014 after Racano had appeared in a 2011 episode of the HBO hit and scored an uncredited role in last year’s Entourage movie. Nowadays, the couple has been keeping busy with their podcast Bad 4 Business with Jerry Ferrara and celebrated their 100th episode earlier today with an on-theme installment called “Bad 4 Engagements.” But don’t let that title fool you as it sounds like these two couldn’t be happier with their new relationship status.

“Is it bad for business to go on your podcast and talk about the fact that you just got engaged?” Ferrara reportedly asked guest psychotherapist Sarah Michael Novia. His bride-to-be certainly didn’t think so as she gleefully added, “Yay! I’m getting married!”

Yay is right! Crossing our fingers that Vince, Ari, E, and Drama all make the groomsmen cut — or at least take this groom-to-be out for an Entourage-esque bachelor party!

I SAID YES!!! Wait I mean… I've had many great blessings in my life. But this one by far is the best of all time. You are the greatest person I ever met!
