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 — 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.

Day 2: Drop Weight Fast With HIIT Workouts

High-intensity interval training (HIIT for short) is the “it” method of doing cardio these days, and for good reason: By alternating bursts of all-out cardio with more moderate ones, you can burn more calories in less time compared to aerobic workouts you do at a single, less intense pace.

In fact, a study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that HIIT training burns a whopping 44 percent more calories than doing moderate-intensity cardio for the same amount of time. And get this: You’ll continue to burn calories at a faster rate long after you’ve gone home and showered, because your body must work harder to return to its pre-workout state. So if you’re looking to drop weight quickly in the next few weeks, this is the cardio workout for you.

Just don’t overdo it! “Stick to just 2 or 3 intense workouts a week, otherwise it can be too hard on your body,” says Pete McCall, an exercise physiologist and personal trainer in San Diego. “On the other days, just make an effort to move more.” Stand at your desk, walk instead of drive when you can, and aim to get 10,000 steps a day (if you don’t have one of those trendy wristbands to count them off for you, use your phone or get a free pedometer app).

Here’s a quick HIIT routine to get you started, but feel free to play with the timing of the intervals:

Warm up with five minutes of brisk walking.

For one minute, up the intensity by either increasing your speed or the resistance, so you’re working at a seven or an eight on a scale of one to 10 (with 10 being the heart-hammering hardest you can possibly manage!).

For two to three minutes, drop the intensity so you’re working at a four or five.

Repeat these intervals for 20 to 30 minutes.

Cool down for five minutes.

JoJo Fletcher is engaged!

It seems like just yesterday we were sobbing tears of joy when JoJo went from Bachelor Ben Higgins’ cast aside final rose runner-up to the all-star, fan fave Bachelorette. And guys, she did not disappoint. While there were some definite highs and lows this season, we’re equal parts thrilled and saddened to see it come to a close. And in the battle of Jordan Rodgers and Robby Hayes, only one man can be victorious.

So if you have yet to press “play” on your DVRs and watch The Bachelorette finale 2016, you might want to stop reading — spoiler alerts!

Congratulations are in order for JoJo and Jordan! After the reality star said a tearful goodbye to Robby, JoJo was “so ready” to present her final rose to Jordan (who also happens to be Aaron Rodgers‘ brother). “I’m so unbelievably in love with you,” Jordan, in a crisp blue suit, said to JoJo (who was wearing a GORG off-white dress), before getting down on one knee and presenting her with a solitaire, oval-cut Neil Lane diamond set on a pavé band. The pair proclaimed “I love you” over and over again, before JoJo gifted Jordan with her final rose and they embraced each other in the sunset.

Let’s hope the Final Rose goes smoothly!

To be honest, rumors were swirling through the interwebs about JoJo and her final pick — The Bachelorette was spotted holding hands with Jordan in April (before this season even aired).

After a long, winding season of falling for a slew of attractive men (who kind of all looked the same…), JoJo has chosen her guy — despite being seemingly totally conflicted up until the very last moment.

In a sneak peek of Monday’s Bachelorette finale, exclusively obtained by People, JoJo admitted that she’d fallen for both of her final two suitors.

“I love you,” Robby tells her in the clip, followed by Jordan’s own declaration to JoJo: “I’m in love with you.”

“I’m in love with two people,” JoJo told the camera before breaking down into tears. “I’m feeling so confused,” she said. “I feel like I’m having a panic attack.”

In another sneak peek of the episode, we saw Robby take a moment to ask JoJo’s parents for their daughter’s hand in marriage (!!), which brought her mom to tears, People reports.

“I have a really important question to ask JoJo’s father,” Hayes said before sitting down with The Bachelorette‘s mother and father. “I want to ask for his blessing in marrying her, but I included her mother.”

Hayes then began his speech. “I’m here for Joelle, and I’m not going anywhere and she knows that,” he said. “She means the world to me and I can sit here and honestly tell you both that she will be my number one priority in all of life and in everything I do.”

Addressing JoJo’s father, Hayes continued: “Dr. Fletcher, in asking for your blessing to marry Joelle today, I don’t just want her hand in marriage,” he said as her mother gets emotional. “I want all that is Joelle Hannah Fletcher, because you guys have raised such a special girl.”

“If I’m fortunate enough to receive that blessing, I can promise you both to protect her, to care for her, to love her for my entire life and commitment is a lifetime thing,” added Hayes. “It will be in that blessing and through that commitment that I would be honored to be part of your family.”

If you ask us, Jordan and JoJo’s chemistry couldn’t be denied from the get -go. Congratulations to the happy couple!

You said yes to his proposal, picked a wedding date and venue, and even have the perfect wedding dress picked out, the only thing left on your wedding to do list is the registry. Your wedding registry is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in the wedding planning process — people will want to send you gifts almost as soon as you get engaged, so you may as well get what you want. Whether you’re into a classic registry, or wanting to devote everything to your honeymoon excursions, sometimes you miss out on some ideal registry items by going with what is expected. Ready to start thinking outside the box with your wedding gifts? Here are some unexpected items you should definitely consider adding to your wedding registry.

Mix and Match China
Long gone are the days of registering for a fully matching set of china. Take advantage of this time to mix and match patterns and colors. That way, you can use these alone for a more simple table, or mix patterns and colors for a more modern home decor statement. Best-selling dinnerware maker, Lenox, (above) often carries the same styles in different patterns that can easily complement each other.

A Ring Dish
You’ll want a place to safely store your new bling on those rare occasions you take off your engagement and wedding rings. Add a fashionable ring plate to your registry and let friends give you something you’ll use daily.

Salt and Pepper Shakers
These might be one of the most overlooked items when building a kitchen, and perhaps the ones you’ll use the most. Salt and pepper shakers are a nice option to give guests on a budget, who still want to get you something meaningful and nice but not break the bank. Choose a pair with a little whimsy, like adorable elephant figurines.

Cooking Classes
Focusing all of your experiential registry picks on a honeymoon? It’s time to think of an activity that’s a bit more local. A cooking class is not only practical, but it’s a romantic date night to look forward to with your new spouse after the wedding and honeymoon have come and gone. Plus, you’ll have all those new kitchen items to practice on when you set up your new home together.

Food Delivery Service
Keep up your health goals, and make newlywed life a little easier, by adding a food delivery service like BlueApron to your registry. Many companies just send the ingredients for the meal you’ve selected and you get to do the cooking in your own kitchen $ with a bottle of wine, naturally.

A Tent
Are you and your new spouse outdoor lovers? Friends who know your love all things outdoors will be very excited to gift you something they know you’ll get use out of, plus it gives you a little extra incentive to cuddle up together under the stars — as if you needed any!

A Camera
Put down the iPhone, you’ll want a real camera to capture all of those honeymoon pictures. You’ll be thankful you registered for a splurge-worthy camera when you’re framing your honeymoon and wedding photos for a gallery wall, or creating some unforgettable photo books as a first anniversary gift (paper, duh!).

The popularity of wedding insurance has grown, probably because the average cost of weddings has topped $30,000. That’s a whole lot of money to lose if something goes wrong and your wedding day doesn’t happen, or isn’t what you had planned through no fault of your own.

I think that wedding insurance has become more popular because brides and grooms are aware it exists now, whereas not that long ago, travel insurance was the only option, and that didn’t cover anything more than the couple’s cancelled trip. In fact, the popularity of wedding insurance has led companies to expand wedding coverage to include other planned events.

Travelers Insurance recently released a fascinating study of what EXACTLY are the top claims brides and grooms have used their travel insurance to cover:

30% – Vendor Issues
Everything from a no-show DJ to replacing a venue that went out of business is covered.

29% – Illness or Injury
When the bride or groom, or one of their parents, become sick or hurt, and cannot attend.

16% – Weather Issues
Blizzards, hurricanes and tornadoes are a fact of life in some places. Previously, you could recoup only what your vendors’ coverage allowed them, but now couples can insure themselves.

10% – Military Deployment
Covers changing a wedding date (or cancelling) if the bride or groom is deployed after the wedding contracts have been signed. Fortunately, most vendors try to be sympathetic and patriotic in an effort to reduce loss for active-duty military.

6% – Property Damage
The bride and groom get stuck with the tab when their guests get out of control. Even accidents can be expensive when paid out of pocket.

2% – Attire
Wedding gown disasters, lost rental tuxedo pieces, etc. add up if you have to pay for them twice.

7% – Other
I’ll let you use your imagination.

Just to be clear, wedding insurance doesn’t cover rain on your wedding day just because you’ve always dreamed of saying “I do” under a clear blue sky. I asked the experts to explain how it works.

“We understand that extreme or severe weather can happen unexpectedly — 16 percent of all wedding insurance claim payments over the past five years were due to weather. There is a difference, however, between a rainy day and truly catastrophic weather,” says Ed Charlebois, Vice President of Personal Insurance at Travelers. “If catastrophic weather, such as a hurricane, causes cancellation or postponement of the wedding, we can provide reimbursement for certain non-recoverable expenses such as lost deposits, subject to the terms of the policy, of course.”

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that any of the popular wedding insurance policies extend to weddings cancelled due to the Zika virus. It’s considered a known risk the bride and groom took when they made their decision to get married in that location.

Known for its canals, row houses, old-world charm and progressive, bike-centric culture, picturesque Amsterdam is a destination that should be on the list for every bride-to-be considering a romantic European mini-moon that is an eclectic mix of old and new, culture and nightlife, and is readily accessible from the States.

Getting Here
Getting to Amsterdam is a breeze — which is key when you’re planning for just a few days away. A seven-hour direct flight from most East Coast airport hubs, Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport connects to the compact city center via a 15-minute train ride; once on the ground, most everything you’ll want to see or do is walkable, bikeable or a short Uber ride away. Cycling in Amsterdam is more than a pastime, it’s a way of life: the ratio of bikes to residents is 1:1. Most hotels will have bikes on-site for guests to borrow or rent; otherwise, the concierge team will be able to point you in the direction of the closest bike rental facility.

A Dose of Culture
Amsterdam is home to an impressive roster of cultural institutions, including the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, the Hermitage Amsterdam and the Anne Frank House, as well as a number of quirkier cultural offerings, including museums dedicated to bags and purses, cats, fluorescent art and, yes, the world’s oldest sex museum. A smart way to organize your days is to plan to visit 1-2 sites each day, allowing for plenty of time for an afternoon pint and people watching from a sidewalk cafe or one of the city’s many terrace bars, Amsterdam’s version of a beer garden. Strolling or cycling through Amsterdam’s lush parks is a must — Vondelpark, the city’s largest green space, is located adjacent to the Museumkwartier and makes for a perfect picnic destination after a morning museum visit.

Amsterdam After Dark
Sleek hotel bars, serious cocktail dens, traditional Dutch pubs known as “brown cafes” — a completely different side of Amsterdam heats up as the sun finally sets, which can be as late as 10 p.m. in the summer season. Door 74 is credited with introducing the speakeasy-style cocktail bar to the city and remains a sought-after destination. Tunes Bar at the luxe new Conservatorium Hotel, which overlooks Vondelpark, is a prime example of the next-gen wave of hotel bars that are upping the ante when it comes to both ambiance and cocktail offerings. At Tunes Bar, “G&T’s” are the signature cocktail and can be made with more than 40 kinds of gin and six kinds of tonic. Curious about the city’s infamous Red Light District? Sign up for one of the tour offerings with Amsterdam Red Light District Tours, which are led by local resident guides and depart nightly.

Sightseeing By Sea
There’s no better way to see Amsterdam than by boat. Gliding through the city’s canals and waterways, past pedestrian promenades, under bridges — you get a completely different sense of the city from the water. Daytime, sunset, after dark, you really can’t go wrong with choosing a boat tour, although a honeymoon-worthy splurge would be a private boat tour for two, complete with Champagne and a romantic dinner, such as can be arranged by the Pulitzer Amsterdam, a chic, art-filled hotel that occupies a series of interlinked row houses in the city’s historic core. The Pulitzer’s resident boat, a stately 1909 salon boat called “Tourist,” has hosted many historic guests over the years; a sunset cruise aboard her would indeed be a memory for a lifetime.

Tommy Hilfiger may have a new wedding muse, because his daughter Ally is about to be a married woman!

Ally Hilfiger, 31, and her boyfriend of six years, Steve Hash, got engaged in Paris last month according to People. Making the proposal moment even more magical, her fiancé presented her with a ring he had designed himself. The couple have a 17-month-old daughter together named Harley.

“I was so surprised and overwhelmed with happiness and excitement,” Ally told People. “We are having fun planning a lovely wedding at our family’s home in Connecticut.”

Sadly, aside from a selfie of the couple posted on Hash’s Instagram page (which you can see below), we have no details about their engagement, how he popped the question, or any of the planning details for their upcoming nuptials. However, it is hard to believe that anyone else would design her wedding dress aside from her father, one of the most famous American designers. His simple, all-American approach to wedding gowns would look lovely on his daughter, and we can’t help but picture the Hilfiger family wedding following the same trend. If the wedding takes place at Tommy’s Greenwich, Connecticut home, we imagine simplistic linens and lots of blues to compliment the town’s natural rustic and colonial charm.

But planning a wedding isn’t the only thing on Ally’s mind, thanks to the recent release of her first book, Bite Me. The book details Ally’s history with Lyme disease.

“It’s very difficult to struggle in the public eye with Lyme disease because it’s a very complicated disease,” Hilfiger said in a previous interview with People. “You can really look great and be on one day and feel fine and happy and then the next day or five days or month and you can’t get out of bed. It’s crazy.”

Congratulations to Ally on her engagement, her new book release, and the custom Tommy Hilfiger gown she will no doubt walk down the aisle in! (Yes, we can’t stop thinking about the dress possibilities. Can you blame us!? It’s Tommy Hilfiger!)

One night in Paris…

It’s been said not to mix business with pleasure, but after Drew Swanson interviewed Ashley Schulz for her very first job out of college, the pair couldn’t help but cross that line. “Drew asked all the questions, and I must have had all the right answers,” Ashley laughs. Of course, she got the job. And one year later, she got her first date with Drew.

Four years after that, Ashley accepted another offer from Drew: This time, she agreed to be his wife. The couple soon began to plan their September 26, 2015, wedding in Kamas, Utah, a destination for almost all of the couple’s 180 guests. Because of that, the couple knew they wanted to capture the true essence of Utah and show all of their family and friends why we love the state so much. That meant hosting an outdoor wedding was a must, and a rustic-yet-timeless look emerged. Joey Kennedy Photography captured every detail, which you’re bound to want to copy for your own big day.

Ashley’s trumpet wedding dress featured delicate head-to-toe lace and was only the third dress she tried on. “I could just tell it was my dress,” she says. “It felt perfect.” She finished her look with a light veil and a belt.

The bride’s mother tied a piece of her own lace wedding dress around Ashley’s white rose and succulent bouquet. “It was my favorite touch of the entire wedding,” she says. “That one detail got a lot of tears.”

Ashley’s ‘maids donned floor-length gowns from Donna Morgan with mismatched necklines. But the long dresses were more than just pretty — they had a practical component, too: “I wanted them to be warm since our wedding was outside in September,” says the thoughtful bride.

The very light mint hue of the gowns paired perfectly with the bridesmaids’ baby’s breath bouquets.

Drew and his groomsmen dressed in slate-grey suits paired with light green ties and a succulent boutonniere. For a pop of color, each guy wore red bandana socks, a gift from the groom that was nod to the couple’s outdoor wedding.

The ceremony was held beneath a giant tree on the grounds of the High Star Ranch. Guests were seated in rows of white chairs, with the breathtaking mountain backdrop behind them.

Programs tied with twine — another rustic touch! — gave guests all of the information they needed about the nuptials. Ashley’s father walked her down the grass aisle, which was lined with metal lanterns and galvanized buckets filled with baby’s breath. The couple chose a whiskey barrel topped with a fresh floral arrangement as the backdrop for their “I do’s.”

The couple didn’t write their own vows, but scoured the Internet until they found examples that resonated with them. Then, Ashley and Drew recessed the aisle as the bride’s cousin sang “Like I’m Gonna Lose You” by Meghan Trainor.

Ashley and Drew’s cocktail hour featured a spread of cheeses and meats, fresh fruits, and sliders, plus signature hard-lemonade cocktails served in outdoor-appropriate mason jars. After filling up on the pre-reception grub, guests could find their seating assignments on chalkboard-inspired signs that were done up with a twinkle-light design.

Candles, lanterns, buckets of baby’s breath, and mini succulents dotted tables topped with ivory linens, all beneath the glow of café lights. Tables were numbered with calligraphed wood blocks, while each guest took home boxed filled with chocolates as their favors.

Ashley and Drew’s chairs were identified by two wooden Mr. and Mrs. signs.

The couple offered guests an almond and vanilla wedding cake. But the real sweet treat were donuts the couple brought in for an additional dessert.

The newlyweds danced the night away, beginning with their first dance to “Bonfire Heart” by James Blunt. “Our first dance is something I will never forget,” Ashley says.

Reflecting on their wedding day, the bride urges other couples to not sweat the small stuff. “People won’t remember the details,” she says. “So, relax and have fun during the process! Incorporate your significant other. Have date nights where you cook meals, drink wine, and plan. We wish we would have done more of that.”

When you’re choosing what to serve for dinner at your wedding, there’s more to consider than just beef or fish. From allergies to vegetarians, it’s a good idea to have choices so everyone can find something they’ll enjoy. Another choice to add to the list? A kids’ meal. Whether it’s chicken fingers, pizza, or a dressed-down version of your roast chicken entree, having something little palates will enjoy will give you major bonus points with Mom and Dad. So how do you let the parents know there is a kids’ meal available? Take a cue from our experts.

If you are inviting a large number of children to your wedding, think about including kids’ meal information in your invitation. If every couple with children is being invited as a family, include the kids’ meal as an option on your RSVP card (and specify that it’s for those under a certain age to ward off more humorous guests). Inviting some families but not others? Print an insert to tuck into certain invitations to let parents know that a child-friendly option is available without suggesting to those invited without their kids that little Tommy is actually on the guest list.

This is also one of those wedding details that you can definitely share via e-mail. Gather up the addresses of all the parents with young children, then let them know that there is an additional option available. Confirm whether there are any allergies amongst the kids, then count up how many will be taking you up on your offer!

Of course, you can also pick an age and decide that anyone under 12, for example, will be receiving the kids’ meal, while anyone older will get an adult option. If you are inviting young kids but no teenagers, this is a great solution. Most four year olds will be much happier with macaroni and cheese than beef tenderloin!

Attention Duggar family super fans! If you just so happened to drop a wedding invitation in the mailbox (or inbox) of TLC’s most famous family, it looks like you’re going to have an extra 19 seats at your reception. The Duggars are checking ‘no’ on those RSVP cards, according to an email response fans are receiving from the former 19 Kids and Counting clan. The least they could do is send a gift, right? Miss Manners would so not approve…

Nineteen extra reception meal plates sure ain’t cheap, so we were super surprised to learn that brides-to-be were extending wedding invites to the stars of TLC’s Counting On. (But to each their own, right?) However, these to-be wedded couples in question probably won’t be seeing any famous faces amongst their wedding guests come the big day. According to International Business Times, Duggar devotees who have emailed the Counting On fan mail account have been receiving an automated response stating that, no, the conservative brood won’t be able to attend your nuptials — even if your relationship so far with your hubby-to-be consists of chaperoned dates and side hugs only.

The email response begins with the Arkansas fam thanking their fans for reaching out, but due to the number of messages they get, they aren’t able to personally respond to every single email. Hey, raising 19 kids eats up a lot of time! But then the clan drops the RSVP bomb.

“Unfortunately, due to the number of invitations and our schedule,” they wrote. “We cannot entertain invitations to personal events such as birthday parties and weddings. We wish we could go to everything!” Cross the Duggars’ names off the guest list, guys. The fam is regretfully declining your invite.

The email goes on to plug their book and the family’s newsletter, before getting a little, uhh, preachy. “Above all, remember that God loves you so very much. He gave his only son, Jesus, that you may know God personally, have forgiveness for your sins and gain eternal life. Nothing in life is as important as this!” We’re going to go ahead and assume that, in their opinion, that’s gotta be much better than a wedding gift.

We can’t really blame the Duggars though for being too busy to attend the dozens of weddings they must be invited to on the reg. After all, they’ve got their own wedding to plan — that of daughter Jinger and her fiancé Jeremy Vuolo. Wonder if anyone will be sending them an email rejection to that RSVP…
