Most people we've come across seem to have come to terms with, if not fully support and embrace, the passing of gay marriage in NYC, besides some Florida teachers, evangelical preachers, and crazy-eyed presidential candidates. Oh, and certain NJ bridal shop owners: a lesbian bride-to-be was scolded, and then turned away, by the manager of Here Comes the Bride in Somers Point, N.J.—"She said she wouldn't work with me because I'm gay. She also said that I came from a nice Jewish family, and that it was a shame I was gay. She said, 'There's right, and there's wrong. And this is wrong.' " more ›

The 23-year-old Westchester County newlywed who allegedly faked cancer to get her dream wedding for free is sticking to her story. Jessica Vega tells the Daily News that a doctor at a Bronx clinic told her in February that she has terminal leukemia, and that she hasn't needed chemo to fight her cancer, just "water, the right foods and exercise." She insists she has cancer, but couldn't show the News any immediate proof from her doctor. ("Maybe tomorrow," she told the tabloid.) more ›

A Nassau County judge has overturned an unwritten law of bad breakups: If a bride-to-be finds out her fiancé cheated on her and the marriage is called off, she is definitely keeping (and selling) that ring, ideally blowing the windfall on a rebound getaway weekend in Cancun with all her friends. Danielle Cavalieri, a former flack for fancy PR firm Dan Klores, was supposed to marry her Long Island high-school sweetheart, IT systems engineer John Gunther, last October. But after the whole thing went sideways, Cavalieri held on to the $19,000, 2.2-carat white gold engagement ring. So Gunther took her to court, to the abiding delight of the NY Post. more ›

Queens resident Jennifer Daddio was promised "enchanting river views" and the "best of everything" when she forked over a considerable deposit for her Summer wedding. But just 12 days after the payment was made, Hudson Valley restaurant/catering hall Monteverde at Oldstone Manor went bankrupt and, later, the wedding planner quit. According to court papers obtained by the Daily News, the 28-year-old "has not had one moment of joy or happiness related to her wedding day and instead has experienced extreme stress and anxiety over whether her wedding reception for 200 guests would proceed as planned." more ›

A bride is suing a wedding photographer for allegedly taking semi-nude pictures of her on her wedding day and posting them on the internet — despite her objections. Bride Sara Bostwick filed suit in Manhattan Supreme Court against photographer Carolyn Monastra and the Christian Oth Studio for causing her to "suffer severe emotional injuries, including post-traumatic stress disorder," the Post reports. more ›

Investigators, searching for missing bride-to-be and Yale graduate student Annie Le, found a body in the New Haven research building where Le was last seen. While the body has not been identified as Le's, New Haven police are assuming it is hers. According to the Hartford Courant, "The body was found inside a chase, a square area in a wall used to run pipes and wires from floor to floor. Police would not say in what area of the building the body was found. Le's family has been contacted." The 24-year-old, who was supposed to be married to Columbia graduate student Jonathan Widawsky on Long Island yesterday, had been missing since Tuesday, when she was last seen entering the building (she had left her purse, credit cards and cell phone in her office a few blocks away). more ›

We were dazzled by the story of Georgette Clemons, the Connecticut bride who jumped out of the car taking her to her reception in order to warn a family that their Bridgeport home was on fire. Now it turns out she's downplaying her act of kindness: The initial Connecticut Post story mentioned that she ran into the burning home to get the occupants out but now the Conn. Post says, "Clemons said Monday that instead of pulling the woman who was inside the house to safety, she and her friend coaxed the woman to come out" from the porch (she also says the friend went into the foyer; her husband was in another car). At any rate, 16-year-old Lowell Eitelberg, who was playing video games in the house during the time of the fire, told the NY Post: "Whenever you think of something like this happening, you don't imagine the person who's going to save you in a situation like this to be dressed in the nicest clothes they'll ever wear in their life. If someone was caring enough to ruin the best day of their life to save me, it's the most incredible thing." And his mother told Clemons, "Mazel tov!" adding, "I told her to go back to her festivities, but she stayed and helped." more ›

Hooray for Georgette Clemons, a literally newlywed bride and hero. The Connecticut Post reports that Clemons was being driven to her wedding reception with groom Charles Clemons when she spotted a North End home on fire yesterday afternoon in Bridgeport, CT. She yelled at the car's driver to stop and headed to the house—"charging through the thick curtain of smoke in a wedding dress." The car's driver said, "I don't know what she was thinking, she had just got married." Clemons yelled for the home's occupants to get out and eventually headed in, "The woman was yelling about her animals and didn't want to get out so I had to pull her out." The home's residents, including humans, two dogs and two ferrets, made it out and Clemons also warned neighbors. Though her dress is blackened from the smoke and her "shoes got messed up," Clemons told the CP, "What are you going to do? At least the people are OK." more ›
