In the "reality" television show Kourtney & Kim Take New York, the two Kardashian sisters deal with overcoming some of life's most difficult challenges while maintaining the grace of a spoiled teenager slamming the door in her parents face. Like, what do you do when your sham marriage is falling apart right before America's eyes? In last night's finale of the show, you can see just how Kim handled this obstacle in her life—as she "falls apart" and "cries" to her sister, acknowledging that she "feels" bad for having wasted everyone's time and money with her highly publicized wedding vows to Kris Humphries.

Are Empire State Building V-Day Anniversary Passes Forever?
For the past 17 years, a handful of lucky couples get married atop the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day—and those couples all get lifetime anniversary passes to the building. But you better put the "lifetime" in quotation marks, as one couple discovered on Monday.

The individual ceremonies began with sunrise at 7 a.m. and are still going on.

Newlyweds Lose Precious Memories In Cab
A Pennsylvania couple, David and Kimberly Reim, did that whole "oops, we left our irreplaceable items in a cab!" thing at the end of their wedding day. The newlyweds left behind their camera (and with it the memory card holding their wedding photos) when they were dropped off at the Cassa Hotel and Residences at West 45th Street and 6th Ave avenue on December 3rd around 11 p.m. Now they tell the Daily News they're "looking for a holiday miracle.

Jilted Husband On "Self-Serving, Narcissistic" Times Vows Couple
The saga of the controversial NY Times Weddings "Vows" column continues to rage on—this time, the ex-husband of the bride (you know, the guy who was dumped because his wife fell in love with a married father from their kid's pre-K) is talking! Bob Ennis is upset at ex-wife Carol Anne Riddell, her new husband John Partilla AND the NY Times, telling Forbes' Jeff Bercovici, "No, I wasn’t contacted or interviewed or given any opportunity to opine on any of it, including having my seven-year-old daughter’s picture in the paper. The primary story here is not that interesting. People lie and cheat and steal all the time. That’s a fact of life. But rarely does a national news organization give them an unverified megaphone to whitewash it."
Newlywed On "Homewrecking" Times Wedding Feature
So, you know that now-controversial NY Times Weddings "Vows column" about the couple who met each other at their kids' pre-kindergarten class while they were married to other people? The Times even opened up commenting for a while, but then had to stop accepting them (example: "If the couple had a sense of decency and wished to truly respect the feelings of their ex-spouses, they would have denied themselves the pleasure of having their 15 minutes of fame in the New York Times. Their choice to satisfy their own vanity is very telling."). Well, now the bride, former WNBC 4 reporter Carol Anne Riddell, is explaining why she and new hubby advertising executive John Partilla told their story.
Times Wedding Couple Dumped Spouses For Each Other
The NY Times wedding section is a place where people go to envy, analyze, or mock couples who manage to get announcements of their happy unions immortalized. It's not usually a place where you reel in disgust—until today's Vows column which describes two successful middle-aged people who "met in 2006 in a pre-kindergarten classroom. They both had children attending the same Upper West Side school. They also both had spouses." Dunh dunh DUNH.
10/10/10 Means Marriage Luck For Some Couples
Happy 10/10/10! There are a number of superstitions surrounding today's date. In mathematics, 101010 equals 42 in binary, which is the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything according to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In Chinese culture, 10 is a lucky number. For what it's worth, it's the atomic number of Neon. And all of these reasons combined are sending a massive number of people to the altar.
Angry Mob Going After "Cancer" Bride
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.)
Gawkers Will Not Get the Hell Out of Rhinebeck
Even though the Clinton-Mezvinsky wedding was two days ago, the Wall Street Journal (paywall) reports that paparazzi and out-of-towners are continuing to wander the streets of the Hudson Valley town, hoping the former first family is still there. They are most likely not. The Sunday brunch after the wedding was held a mile away in the town of Grasmere. However, attendees must have been tired—the reception reportedly lasted until 5 a.m.!
That Other Rhinebeck Wedding Went Well Too
Brooklyn teacher Emn Haddad-Friedman was worried that Chelsea Clinton's big day would ruin her wedding, which was set to take place in Rhinebeck yesterday. But it looks like she and her now-husband had nothing to worry about. Though they weren't interested in providing the press with any sound bites, the Daily News says guests had no problem getting to the 4 p.m. ceremony, despite all the road blocks. Though the bride's uncle say the Clinton's choice in venue shows his niece's good taste, another guest said the Clintons should have gone elsewhere. "The area has personal significance to us. The Clintons could have done theirs in Martha's Vineyard." Near all the riff-raff in Oak Bluffs? Never.
Photos: Chelsea Clinton And Marc Mezvinsky's Wedding
[UPDATE BELOW] In a lavish, much-anticipated interfaith ceremony in Rhinebeck, NY, Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former president Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, married Marc Mezvinsky, the son of former Congressman Edward Mezvinsky and former Congresswoman Marjorie Mezvinsky. The bride's parents issued this statement:
Chelsea Clinton Getting Married Any Minute Now
Hey, did you know Chelsea Clinton is getting married in Rhinebeck, NY today? When we last left off, Bill Clinton had arrived in the Hudson Valley town and kibitzed with the townsfolk. One local described her meeting as "better than meeting George Clooney!" The Clinton-Mezvinsky wedding planner also sent bottles of wine to Rhinebeck's miffed residents, apologizing for keeping them out of the loop and warning them about "periodic road closures." But now, the day has finally arrived, porta-potties and all.
OMG: BILL CLINTON IS IN RHINEBECK
Former president Bill Clinton arrived in the Hudson Valley town of Rhinebeck, NY in advance of his daughter's wedding tomorrow. Clinton was looking trim (Chelsea did ask him to lose 15 pounds!) and happily chatted with residents, tourists and media, saying, "Today is the most beautiful day ever." Aww. One Hyde Park resident said, "I shook his hand and said congratulations. It means a lot to the people of Rhinebeck that he took the time to talk to me on his big day."
Aww, Chelsea Clinton's Future Ex-Con Dad-In-Law Speaks
Chelsea Clinton will be marrying Marc Mezvinsky on Saturday and the city of Rhinebeck is flooded with the curious and security (one resident said to NY1, "I think I just saw secret servicemen over at the Burts Bees corner of CVS"). One of the proudest people is likely Mezvinsky's father, Edward, a former Congressman who went to prison for fraud. He told Inside Edition, "I’m remorseful for what happened, it was a terrible time, and I was punished for that. And I respect that and accept responsibility for what happened, and now I’m trying to move on and am grateful I have the opportunity for that."
Daily News Describes Clinton Wedding as "Practical"
What does a now-estimated $3 million budget get a bride these days? $15,000 porta-potties, and modesty. That's what the Daily News attempts to argue by comparing Chelsea Clinton's upcoming wedding to other outlandish celebrity weddings. Ok so she doesn't have a "Swarovski-crystal-encrusted tuxedo made for a pet Chihuahua" like Carrie Underwood did, nor will she stuff "magnolia trees with white roses" like Fergie. She'll just reserve part of the budget for shutting down all the airspace above Rhinebeck, NY. Totally low-key.
Chelsea Clinton's Wedding Means Hudson Valley Lockdown
Last week, two Norwegian journalists were arrested outside of Astor Courts, the 50-acre estate rumored to be the location of Chelsea Clinton's wedding to Marc Mezvinsky this Saturday. According to the AP, "Thomas Bjorn Nilsson, 43, of New York, and Kjerste Sortland, 41, of Snorova, Norway, were charged with a [trespassing] violation after they were stopped around 2 p.m. Wednesday on the" sprawling estate's ground. The journalists' editor said the fine will be paid, but the police were overreacting and that they were not trespassing, "We did not realize it was forbidden to take the picture of the gate of the house where the Clinton wedding is to be." Never underestimate the importance of a Clinton-connected gate.
Chelsea Clinton's Wedding Is Ruining Everything
Chelsea Clinton's "Wedding of the Century" is set to be held in Rhinebeck, NY on July 31st at the Astor Courts estate in the area. And though a great time is sure to be had by all, one Brooklyn teacher is pissed. Emn Haddad-Friedman has been planning her wedding for the past two years, set to take place in Rhinebeck on the same day of the former first daughter's nuptials. She told Yahoo, "I know she's not doing it on purpose. But Chelsea Clinton has taken what was supposed to be a special day for me and turned it into hell." There's only one way to solve this: Bridezilla boxing!
Levi's Mom Wants Invite To Palin-Johnston Wedding
While Sarah and Todd Palin gave a measured statement about daughter Bristol's engagement to Levi "Yeah, I Made Up Stories About You AND Posed For Playgirl" Johnston, Johnston's mother and sister were definitely not restrained when chatting with Inside Edition. His sister Mercede said, "I never thought this would happen. I don't think it's sincere. I think that there's something going on. Since he and Bristol got together, I haven't heard a word from him. When he told me that they were thinking about getting back together, I just started crying."
