It has been a busy couple days for celebrities and their unions. Just this last weekend there were three celebrity weddings; hopefully we can get some good tips.
My Name is Earl” actress Jamie Pressly married entertainment lawyer Simran Singh this past Saturday in Malibu. Jamie’s dress was by British designer Jenny Packham. Pressly told Redbook in March, “I’d like to be with somebody who isn’t afraid to take care of me – whether they have the same financial means as me or not.” Their ceremony was held at the Dick Clark estate which was also the site of Adam Sandler’s wedding in 2003.

LA Laker Lamar Odom and reality star Khloe Kardashian wed in Beverly Hills this past Sunday night after a month long courtship. Kardashian wore a Vera Wang gown and the bridal party wore lavender dresses and carried bouquets of white roses. Their recepetion consisted of a four course dinner and had a night club theme. It’s impressive they were able to pull all this off in so little time.

Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy reportedly wed in a secret wedding in France recently. That’s all we can say about this one but good for them for keeping it personal and under the paparazzi radar.

I am completely clueless when it comes to sports but I happened to marry someone who lives and breathes any kind of sporting event. Read below for the proposal at last week’s Cowboy game would have even made me find a new appreciation for football.
Damon Callaway’s proposal for his girlfriend Frances Duran was a long time in the making. His proposal to Frances was embedded in a brick paver he bought a year and a half ago. On Sunday September 20th before the game at the new Dallas Cowboys stadium, Callaway got down on one knee and proposed in a very special way; both of whom are die-hard Dallas Cowboy fans. Frances said yes.

For you Sex and the City lovers we just came across this photo. Either Hell is freezing over and pigs are flying or the writers of the Sex and the City sequel are trying to throw us off. While filming in New York City recently, Kim Cattrall was photographed in a wedding dress and matching veil. Could Samantha Jones be changing her ways?
