What do international jetsetters, supermodels, Hollywood celebs, and Greek shipping heirs have in common? Well, a lot of things, but the answer we’re looking for: They all vacation in St. Barts. So what better place to shake off the stresses of wedding planning than with a mini honeymoon jaunt to this slice of paradise?

The French island territory, located in a northeastern section of the Caribbean known as the Leeward Islands, is full of European charm. French is the native language, and most residents have the same laissez-faire attitude as mainland Francophiles and an unrivaled affinity for eating, drinking, and partying.

To ensure you rub shoulders with beautiful people at the island’s hottest spots, follow our essential minimoon itinerary:

Getting There
There’s only one airport on St. Barts, and those with a fear of flying, be forewarned — the runway is so short that only propeller planes are allowed (sorry, PJ owners), and the approach at landing comes in dangerously low over the island’s mountainous peaks, so expect to be gripping your armrests tight. Good news: flying on Tradewind Aviation eliminates nearly all the anxiety. While most travelers to St. Barts make their one-stop connection on nearby St. Maarten, Tradewind has special hubs in Puerto Rico, Antigua, and St. Thomas, making the flight from mainland U.S. easier and cheaper, plus you get to skip the entire customs and check-in process, as a designated Tradewind representative will pick you up at your landing gate, escort you to the airline’s VIP lounge, handle all your customs paperwork, and then whisk you out onto the Tarmac for your luxurious semi-private flight, complete with complimentary snacks and booze!

Day 1, morning
Once you’ve landed, post up with the island’s poshest set at the ueber-cool Le Sereno. The 29-room resort plays host to the Victoria’s Secret Angels for swimwear shoots every other month, and with good reason. Famed Parisian designer Christian Liaigre infused the resort with a refined, minimalist sensibility that epitomizes breezy beach-chic. Guest rooms are outfitted with tall four-poster beds, low-slung couches, oversized soaking tubs, open-air showers, and plush daybeds on private decks. If you’re traveling with friends, spring for one of the two- or three-bedroom villas, which are set above the resort and have amazing water views, private entrances, an infinity pool, kitchen, and library.

Have lunch upon arrival at the on-site restaurant, where Chef Alex Simone turns out Mediterranean-inspired dishes like octopus salad and gnocchi with crab and zucchini, in addition to Italian classics like veal Milanese (especially fitting now that Le Sereno will have a sister property on Lake Como, called Il Sereno, this coming August).

Day 1, evening
One of the best aspects of Le Sereno is its secluded location on Grand Cul de Sac beach, away from the fray of hard-partiers on Nikki Beach and bustling day-trippers in the town of Gustavia. And few resorts are located within walking distance of the beachfront restaurants, so take your pick among La Gloriette and O’Corail, or head next door to Le Guanahani, the largest hotel on the island at 67 rooms. Thursday nights are especially great with a full-on beach barbecue serving up grilled surf and turf, made-to-order pasta, salads, and more — with a one-man-band singing Bob Marley jams in the background.

Day 2, morning
Rent a car for the day at Le Sereno — there’s a Hertz representative on-site, making it super easy to pick out a cute set of beach wheels. Make hairpin turns on the winding drive toward the airport, where you can stop across the street at Maya’s To Go, an adorable boulangerie with baguette sandwiches and tasty lunch bites. Pack your food picnic-style and head to Gouverneur Beach, a stunning swath of sand on the other side of the island. Make sure to bring a beach umbrella — there’s no shade, so without one you’ll be packing up by the time the beach fills up around 4 p.m., when locals roll in for an after-work dip.

Day 2, evening
There’s no better way to cap a day of sun and surf than with a crisp beer. Head to Dõ Brasil on Shell Beach near Gustavia for a cocktail and one last swim in the ocean. Then take a turn around town and pop into stores like Poupette St. Barth for chic cover-ups, Ligne St. Barth for homemade bath products, and Imrie for colorful swimwear. Rather than wait for a table at Bonito (and pay a pretty penny for your meal), do like the locals and stop by L’Isoletta, a casual pizza-and-wine outpost of the popular Italian eatery L’Isola. Then, head back to Le Sereno and take in the stars on your private deck, beer in-hand (mini-bar drinks and snacks are included).

Day 3, morning
Lounge in the sun on Le Sereno’s spacious pool deck or visit the spa, which is set in a beachfront cabana for treatments en plein air (with luxe Sothys products). Take a dip in the crystal-clear ocean, which is waist-deep for hundreds of yards, making this the ideal spot to test out your paddle-boarding, kite-surfing, jet-skiing, or windsurfing skills. Around noon, make the short drive to the LVMH-owned Cheval Blanc St.-Bart Isle de France, on picturesque Flamands Beach, for a toes-in-the-sand lunch at La Cabane de l’Isle. Expect endless Rosé and a surprising menu that ranges from Asian vegetable spring rolls to Black Angus bacon cheeseburgers. Should you be in need of even more R&R, book a facial at the hotel’s Guerlain spa (the 50-minute radiance facial will leave you glowing after a deep cleansing and restorative mask).

Day 3, evening
Stave off the dread of leaving this island paradise with dinner at the legendary Eden Rock — St Barths. Book a table (well in advance) at On the Rocks, a restaurant set atop a tall jetty overlooking St. Jean Bay, that serves decadent dishes imagined by Michelin-starred French Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. If tasting plates are more your style, try Sand Bar, an equally chic beachfront restaurant known for its mix of healthy dishes (like salmon sushi with crispy rice and chipotle emulsion) and indulgent options (like rigatoni with meatballs and smoked chili tomato Ragu.)

Yes! More pretty babies for us to fawn over! (Or in this case, just imagine how pretty they actually are…) Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds may currently be expecting baby number two, but they’re already thinking about number three… and four… and five! Cue our internal squealing. On Monday’s episode of the Today show, Lively was all about the baby talk, discussing her 2-year-old daughter James and and how she’s looking forward to giving her a whole slew of siblings!

We can’t wait to have more beautiful babies running around this earth — even if we don’t get to see their assumably adorable faces. Lively and Reynolds notoriously keep photos of their firstborn’s face under lock and key, and will no doubt be just as protective of their second little one. But the couple’s plans to expand their fabulous little family even more has got us so excited, we don’t care if we ever get our hands on those baby pictures! (Actually, we’ll probably be a little miffed, but hey, we’re still happy for them!)

Lively was all sunny and shiny on the morning show, rocking that pregnancy glow and the best dressed baby bump in the biz, when conversation turned to her little girl at home. “She’s always doing something fun and exciting,” Lively gushed. “She’s the most fun, funny human being I’ve ever been around in my life.” Aww! Who wouldn’t want more of those running around?

Then, Lively hinted at wanting to give little James even more siblings, as both her and her hunky hubby come from big families. And you can imagine how that sent our hearts all aflutter! “I’m one of five kids; my husband’s one of four,” the actress explained. “We’re officially breeders! You can go on our website and we will give you some of our children.” Is that a serious offer, Blake? Because you know that we would totally take you up on that…

Pamela and Eric’s relationship goes way back into the 20th century — the pair first met in their seventh grade homeroom class in September of 1997. The duo remained close friends until they started formally dating in 2011, and once both knew their union was the real thing, Eric wasted little time in asking Pamela to be his wife. “Eric proposed to me during a beautiful visit to the Stone Barns Farm in Westchester, New York, in September of 2014,” the bride remembers. “He got down on one knee in front of a pig pen and completely caught me off guard.” The surprises kept coming: Minutes later, a bus filled with the couple’s friends and family (plus plenty of champagne!) arrived to celebrate the happy news.

The future Mr. and Mrs. spent under a year planning their July 25, 2015, nuptials in Park City, Utah. Since the bride’s family has spent Christmas in the area since Pamela was a teenager, selecting the Montage Deer Valley was a no-brainer. “Eric has not spent a lot of time there and loves it as well,” she says. “It is the place where our longtime friendship turned into romance during a ski trip with friends one spring.” Knowing how much they loved elegant, modern feel of the hotel and its unbeatable views, the couple worked with Allison Jackson of Pineapple Productions to plan an organic, nature-inspired celebration with a touch of mountain charm. Patricia Lyons Photography was on hand to document every serene moment of this summer bash.

It was hugely important to both the bride and groom that their family and friends felt well taken care of during their time in Utah. “Since our guests were making great efforts to travel for our wedding, we wanted to treat them to something special and a touch formal and luxurious,” Pamela says. “At the same time, we wanted everyone to feel relaxed enough to kick off their heels and hit the dance floor.”

Their hospitality began with a seriously well-stocked welcome bag. Inside the custom monogrammed totes (created by Cheree Berry Paper, who also designed Pamela and Eric’s matching invitations) guests found an assortment of the bride and groom’s favorite snacks from Virginia and New York City, including Momofuku Milk Bar cookies, Route 11 potato chips, and Hubs peanuts.

Pamela went totally classic when it came to her wedding dress, selecting a look from beloved bridal designer Vera Wang. She went into the salon knowing she wanted something feminine, chic, and traditional, which drove her associate to pull the stunning silhouette. “It fit like a glove, and felt so comfortable and light,” the bride says of the strapless lace trumpet. “It’s structured on top but romantic and airy on the bottom. The train was exquisite and so unique.” Pamela also added a chapel-length veil from the same designer.

The bride carried a white bouquet of garden and bush roses, accented with gardenia foliage. “It was simple and sophisticated,” she says.

Eric’s custom-made shawl lapel tuxedo matched his bride’s formality to a T. “He wore antique basketball cufflinks that belonged to his late godfather,” Pamela says. “The only other accessory he added was a watch that I gave him as a wedding gift.”

“Our first look was epic!” Pamela says of privately meeting Eric on top of the mountain before the ceremony. In addition to the gorgeous landscape and seemingly endless views, the bride and groom loved spending time together before the day really kicked off. “There was nobody else around, the sun was shining, and we had the most special moment seeing each other for the first time.”

This couple is seriously loved! Both the bride and groom each had 11 attendants standing by their sides during the ceremony, plus one sweet flower girl and two adorable ring bearers. Pamela’s bridesmaids wore champagne-hued chiffon gowns from Amsale in a variety of different silhouettes while Eric’s groomsmen put on the black tuxedo’s Eric gave each of the men as a gift.

While the couple was incredibly impressed with the accommodations at the Montage Deer Valley, Pamela admits creating their ceremony space offered a unique challenge. “We wanted a Greek Orthodox church in a hotel ballroom,” she says. “We worked closely with our priest to make sure all our plans met the church standard, and it was quite an undertaking.” On top of that, it was important to Pamela and Eric that they bring in as much of the outdoors as possible, so they added lots of greenery, garlands, and lush flowers to the room to bring in the nature they enjoy so much.

The final result was spectacular. The back wall of the ballroom was lined with fruitwood panels and lemon leaf, complete with invisible shelves to hold candles. Large urns of white roses and garden roses were arranged on either side of the altar to finish out the look.

Although the ring bearers tried to encourage the couple’s shy flower girl to toss petals during her walk down the aisle, not a single flower ended up hitting the ground. Their entrance was still adorable, and the bride then followed on the arm of her father while members of the Utah Symphony Orchestra performed Pachelbel’s “Cannon in D.”

“We had a traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony,” Pamela says, explaining that the bride and groom actually don’t speak any words at all during that time! “The idea is that you’ve said everything you need to say before you get to the altar, and the ceremony is about being united as a couple.”

One they were pronounced husband and wife, the pair exited to Handel’s “Water Music Suite Number 2 in D Major.”

Since the pair went indoors for their ceremony, they invited everyone back outside for cocktail hour, where drinks were served on the grand terrace that overlooks Deer Valley. “We wanted the sweeping valley vistas to be the focal point,” Pamela says. Guests found their calligraphed escort cards arranged on flower-covered tables and anchored with Lucite cubes.

When the party moved inside for the reception, guests were treated to yet another gorgeous site: A mix of custom glass-topped tables paired with gold chiavari chairs and round tables covered with platinum linens with ghost chairs filled the space. Each centerpiece was different from the next, but all arrangements were made of a single variety of white blooms, featuring everything from orchids and garden roses to tulips and hydrangeas.

At each place setting, guests found a monogrammed menu that detailed the evening’s incredible offerings. After a field greens salad, friends and family enjoyed either seared Chilean Sea Bass with thyme polenta or Wagyu short ribs with potato puree and roasted mushrooms.

In addition to requisite champagne, the bride and groom also created two signature cocktails. Eric’s, a mix of Knob Creek Rye, Absinthe, Peychaud’s bitters, and simple syrup, was named “Beauregard” after his childhood black Labrador. Pamela’s, named “Greek Goddess,” was a mix of Prosecco, pineapple, and grapefruit juice.

The couple’s four-tier carrot cake wedding cake wasn’t the only sweet treat of the night. Guests also enjoyed root beer floats, an assortment of chocolate, homemade pop tarts, and fresh donuts.

Pamela and Eric honeymooned in Bali, but not before enjoying some late-night revelry with their guests. Everyone ended the evening in the hotel’s pub, where pizza, sliders, and French fries were served while loved ones played arcade games and kept the dance party going.

Having a B-List of wedding guests is either an idea you love or one you hate. On the one hand, it’s a great way to keep your guest list down — invite the number of people you’d like to have, and then if anyone can’t make it, invite B-List guests to fill the spots. On the other hand, though, it can be hard to navigate and decide who makes the cut, and even harder to prioritize who gets that coveted spot if someone can’t attend. And if you’re having a destination wedding, is it even an option at all? Our experts share their insight into the destination wedding guest list.

Inviting your B-List is all about timing. You have to balance sending your first round of invitations out early enough that the second round doesn’t immediately feel like an afterthought (so no, your RSVP deadline can’t be two weeks before the big day!), but not so early that you seem too far ahead of the game. With a destination wedding, however, the timeline is a little different. Since you’re sending save the dates six months in advance and invitations 12 weeks before the big day, you might think you’ve got a little more wiggle room. In a sense, you do — after all, the RSVP deadline is seven or eight weeks before your wedding date, which is before non-destination wedding invitations are sent out. But the trade off is the reason why destination invitations go out so early. With flights and hotel rooms to book, it’s hugely helpful to guests to have a little extra time to make plans, and those guests on the B-List wouldn’t have that same luxury.

If you’re on the fence about a few guests and decide you’d like to invite them if other guests can’t make it, consider asking for a preliminary RSVP when you send out save the dates. This way you’ll know four to six months before your wedding whether your VIPs can make it, and you’ll be able to stick a save the date in the mail to your B-List guests right away.

It also depends on the type of destination wedding you’re having. Is your gang from New York heading to Cape Cod for your big day? This really walks the line between local and destination, so a shorter timeline isn’t as big a deal. A train ticket or a rental car later, and those B-List guests are good to go. But are you heading west to California, or east to Europe? It’s probably better to narrow down that guest list to the people you really want to have join you, and skip the B-List altogether.

Let’s be real, all of us were secretly hoping deep, deep down inside that after Lamar Odom survived his life-threatening drug overdose against all odds he would realize just how good he had it when he was blissfully in love with the most down-to-earth personality on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, our wanna-be bestie Khloe Kardashian. And after watching the episode where Lamar and Khloe joke about getting married again (“if you’re lucky,” as Khloe put it) we couldn’t help but imagine the pair walk down the aisle once again — and hey, maybe even reintroduce their hit TV show, Khloe and Lamar! A girl can dream, can’t she?

But all of those hopes were quickly dashed when Khloe shared a heart-wrenching post on Instagram detailing (what we assume) is drama between her and her ex. “You don’t know what you got till it’s gone,” she opens up with to her fans before delving into a lengthy piece about truly appreciating what you have versus what you want.

“Don’t lose something you have for something you think you want,” the KUWTK star wrote. “What you have now was once everything you prayed you wanted. Think of how lucky you are to have someone you can be completely comfortable around, that is a true gift and one that should be cherished at all times.”

Is it just us or is everyone else bawling their eyes out right now, too?

She went on to say, “Too many times people don’t realize what they have because they are out there looking for something they assume is better. The grass ain’t always greener kids. ‘Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have you will never, ever have enough.'”

Shortly after posting the rather poignant letter, Khloe deleted the Instagram and replaced it with this:

If you’re a little confused, we’re totally in the same boat as you. But apparently this little Instagram stint isn’t the only sign of trouble brewing between the ex-NBA star and the TV personality. According to People, Khloe isn’t speaking to Lamar anymore. A source revealed, “The times she went to see him recently, he was pretty messed up. She’s sick of it. She feels like she’s done everything she can and it’s just ridiculous at this point.”

Khloe, our hearts are breaking for you. Here’s to hoping you’ll find happiness sooner rather than later!

Who can’t resist some extra sparkle on their finger? Stacked wedding rings have been dazzling their way into our hearts (and fingers) in recent years, increasingly appearing in the cases of jewelers and popping up on celebrity fingers, from Kate Bosworth to, more recently, Whitney Port. No longer a rarity, three rings (or four or five!) have become a full-on trend and a common way for women to make a unique statement.

One of the major appeals of stacked wedding rings is their flexibility and versatility. Depending on the woman’s mood or style, an engagement ring can be worn as a standalone piece on the right hand, with the wedding bands on the actual ring finger, or they can all be layered for a powerful look.

Whether separate or together, the right mix of rings complements one another — and luckily, women have endless options to express their individuality. While some prefer a smooth and streamlined look with a uniform metal and gemstone, others opt for a mix of metals; if you like the colorful look of the latter, make sure the finishes are consistent for a touch of cohesiveness. You can also get playful with the size, choosing a big band surrounded by daintier ones, or work with different textures, such as pairing a pavé band with one made of a matte finish. Another popular option is to rock nesting bands, in which the band is molded to fit perfectly with the engagement ring, bringing the stacked look to a new level.

Our favorite swoon-worthy aspect about this trend is that you can add bands over the years to mark milestones such as anniversaries or motherhood — so your hubby always has the perfect gift in mind! Building up the collection is also great if you’re tight on budget — you can start with a small band and add to it when the time is right.

Allow these sets to serve as your muse!

Pouring one out for Iggy Azalea and Nick Young. It’s official — the couple has broken off their engagement. The rapper and her basketball-playing beau had already postponed their wedding due to the performer’s work schedule, but now it seems like there are some more serious relationship issues that have caused the split.

The “Pretty Girls” rapper shared a heart-wrenching Instagram post about calling off her engagement to her beau. “Unfortunately although I love Nick and have tried and tried to rebuild my trust in him — it’s become apparent in the last few weeks i am unable to.” She went on to share that she has nothing but love for her ex, stating, “I genuinely wish Nick the best. It’s never easy to part ways with the person you’ve planned you’re entire future with, but futures can be rewritten and as of today mine is a blank page.”

The backstory? The pair got engaged after meeting through a friend in 2013. The 31-year-old basketball player proposed at his 30th birthday party on June 2nd of last year with a beautiful 10.43-carat diamond (with a whopping price tag of $500,000!).The ring was created by celebrity jewelry Jason Arasheben and designed by Young himself. The proposal was caught on video and posted to Twitter, with Young down on one knee while popping the question. “It was a beautiful celebration for Nick with only his close friends and family. Nick completely surprised Iggy with the proposal. She was shocked and so excited and emotional at the same time,” a source tells E! News.

Unfortunately all good things must come to an end — that is, if there is cheating involved. The New York Post reported that the 26-year-old rapper was unable to regain her trust in her fiancé after he was secretly caught on video by his teammate D’Angelo Russel while talking about his relations with other women. The video (below) was then posted to social media. Yikes.

Now that the Australian rapper posted the her final words about the relationship, we can safely say that she is ready to move on (even though returning that Giorgio Armani dress and sparkler may be quite traumatic). Hopefully the split will come as a welcome situation for Azalea to focus on creating some new music and moving on to bigger and better things. If she’s anything like Taylor Swift after a break up, she’s sure to write some songs that will be at the top of the Billboard Charts in no time!

We know we should talk about money before we get married, but what about before we get engaged? Absolutely. As Elle Kaplan, finance expert and founder of LexION Capital, explains, “it’s standard practice to discuss milestones like wanting kids, buying a house, or travel plans before getting engaged, but the truth is that most of these goals are connected to money. Couples need to be on the same page financially as well as emotionally to ensure a successful marriage.”

She continues, “Many marriages encounter trouble because financial disagreements pop up far too late in the relationship. It would be akin to discovering your partner doesn’t want to have children five years into the marriage. By discussing finances early, couples have a chance to make sure they can achieve their goals and smooth out any money wrinkles.”

So before you get engaged, Kaplan says these are the six money talks you need to have.

1. Your own money habits.
While you may not think your individual money habits matter before you tie the knot, how you save and spend now could have a big impact on whether you both reach your financial goals later. That’s why Kaplan recommends sharing your money views before you get engaged. “Just like your personalities, everyone is going to have their own unique approach to money,” she says. “One of you might be thriftier, while the other is a spender. The key here is to learn how to start honestly communicating and compromising together.”

2. Your long-term financial goals.
Says Kaplan, “Your long-term relationship goals are all going to be tied to money, so it’s important to narrow down the financial details and start planning early.” For example, let’s say you both dream of buying a house in the next five years. Talking about how much you’ll spend and how you’ll afford it before you get engaged is the best way to make that dream come true five years from now, Kaplan says. “By starting to plan early, you have plenty of time to get your finances in order and achieve your dreams,” she explains.

3. How you’ll save money.
Fact: The first year of marriage can be just as expensive as it is exciting (thanks to your honeymoon and wedding, of course!). So rather than scrambling to save or going into debt for your big day after you get engaged, Kaplan recommends talking about how you’ll save for that costly celebration now. “Couples can start their marriage off on the right foot by strengthening their savings now,” she says.

4. Your credit scores.
While your credit scores may not seem like a big deal now, “a poor score on either side can throw a wrench in your financial plans,” Kaplan warns. “Everything from getting a mortgage to interest rates on joint accounts are determined by these scores. It can take a while to fix credit, so couples should work together to get the highest scores as possible early on.”

5. Your income and expenses.
Before you commit your lives to one another, it’s smart to figure out how much (or how little) you make and have left over after your expenses each month. “It seems simple, but many couples don’t even know how much the other earns until after marriage,” says Kaplan. “If you’re both spending more than you’re earning or have very little left over, now’s the time to start coming up with a budget together.”

6. Your debt.
Kaplan says almost every American has some form of debt, including student loans. It’s not exactly fun to talk about, “but throwing this issue under the rug will only make it worse,” she warns. “What’s important is that you have a clear sense of any debt and a plan to tackle it. Be especially aware of any ‘dirty debt’ with high interest rates, such as credit card debt, which can easily snowball.”

Beware brides, there’s a lot of butting heads with your other half this week. But hey, that’s what makeup sex if for, right? Astrologer Celeste Longacre, author of Love Signs, breaks down exactly what the universe has in store for you and your boo this beautiful first official week of summer.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
The desire to stay home is strong right now. Invite your fianc&#233 over for a home-cooked meal or whip something up together after work. Think before blabbing too much mid-week. Fortunately, intuition kicks in by the end so your mouth doesn’t get the better of you.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
The focus in on fun this week, but money could be a bit tight so spend wisely and plan a date night that won’t break the bank. Burgers and mini golf, anyone? Use your imagination to generate some sex appeal with your fianc&#233 in the bedroom. Creativity is yours this weekend.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Avoid an argument with your fianc&#233 early in the week by getting out of the house to cool off and hanging out with your girlfriends. Money flow and communications improve by the weekend so you’ll be able to talk things out and resolve any issues.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Your fianc&#233 can’t take his eyes off you this week, as you’re literally oozing sex appeal. Don’t spoil the mood by saying too much. Instead, take action. A dream this weekend could have an unexpected message for you so be sure not to dismiss it.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Friends could be irritating you early in the week, and you’ll want to vent to your fianc&#233. Don’t let them get to you though. Instead, focus your attention on your partner, who finds you particularly appealing behind closed doors right now.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Beware Virgo, because there’s a distinct possibility that you’ll misinterpret a message from your fianc&#233 early in the week. Take a deep breath and try not to react irrationally. Step away from the situation and go blow off some steam with your besties. Communications get better by the weekend.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Behind the scenes activity can mess with your head early on in the week. By Friday, things begin to improve and your fianc&#233 may even want to take you on a surprise road trip. Pack your bags, and get ready for some romance and adventure.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Be careful what you offer a good friend (or friends) at the beginning of the week, as it may cost you more than you anticipated and even stir up trouble in your relationship. Your fianc&#233 finds you terrifically sexy this weekend so make sure to give him your undivided attention.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Avoid a potential fight with your fianc&#233 on Monday or Tuesday by not engaging. Focus your energy on career and finances instead. By this weekend your fianc&#233 has some unique ideas about ways the two of you can have some fun so hear him out.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Co-workers could be a bit cranky at the beginning of the workweek. A solo project might be best to tackle right now. Be sure to get your work all wrapped up by Friday though, as your fianc&#233 will want to spend time with you over the weekend. Go out on the town together, and stay out late having cocktails like old times.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Friends or family may give you a hard time about money in the first half of the week. But don’t worry, your fianc&#233 has your back and will want to help out any way he can. Your creative instinct is very strong this weekend; don’t ignore it. Perhaps now is a good time to dive into a DIY project.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
An inner restlessness could be a problem for your fianc&#233 early in the week. Friends quickly come to the rescue though. By the weekend, the two of you just want to have fun and let loose. An exciting date night will definitely do your relationship good.

She’s officially a Mrs. after another epic BRIDES Live Wedding for the books! YouTube star Elle Fowler and her singing sweetheart, musician Alex Goot, have tied the knot in one of the most breathtakingly beautiful weddings we’ve ever seen. And that’s all thanks to you! You helped your fellow bride-to-be with all her big day decision making (we all know how tough that can be…) and voted on all of the elements of her wedding day — from the décor to the dress and everything in between. And you’ll get to see every single detail you’ve chosen on July 8th, right here on BRIDES! But if you’re aching for a sneak peek, we’re happy to oblige! After all, we wouldn’t have been able to pull off BRIDES Live Wedding 2016 without you.

The dreamy day started with a sultry bridal beauty look courtesy of Mary Kay. Celebrity makeup artist Moani Lee got Elle looking beautiful for her walk down the aisle — although we doubt she needed any help with that! And after getting her long blonde locks all primped and polished by the hairstyling experts at Sexy Hair, Elle was ready to slip into that Monique Lhuillier wedding dress you’ve chosen and say her “I dos.” And guys, y’all didn’t let her down! (We knew you always had Elle’s back!) The romantic ruffled layers of her gorgeous gown have officially given us permeant heart eyes. Check the photo below now (and pick your jaw up off the floor later).

You guys apparently also know what you’re doing when it comes to bridesmaids’ attire, because Elle’s gal pals were totally pretty in pink in their fabulous frocks from The Donna Morgan Collection. And the groomsmen were dashing in their sleek black tuxes from Men’s Wearhouse. Kudos, you wedding day experts!

And Elle and Alex’s vows were just as beautiful as the seaside locale they said them in. The Bacara Resort & Spa in Santa Barbara, California was decked out in white and blush blooms which, coupled with the romantic resort’s gorgeous ocean views, made for some seriously stunning surroundings. Could you just?!

Fawn over the picture-perfect photos below and then be sure to tune in on July 8th to see all of the big day winners and watch Elle’s oh-so-beautiful wedding. (We know you’ve already started your calendar countdowns, right?)
