It strikes when I least expect it: After a romantic, four-course meal; while I'm checking my news feed on Facebook; when I spot that Michael Kors bag I can't afford; during the meditation portion of yoga, when my eyes close and I finally give myself permission to relax and let go.

As I've gotten deeper and deeper into my wedding planning and it's time to select vendors, I notice that a budget-induced panic seizes me from behind and puts me in a chokehold during the strangest moments, when I'm not even consciously thinking about it. As a result, I find myself constantly bringing up the "B" word with a very perplexed Jason, my fiancé, who is much better at compartmentalizing subjects and doesn't understand why I'm thinking about which photographer we should choose while watching Planet of the Apes. Even though I try to rationalize that I know we can afford our budget, sometimes it just feels plain exhausting to be engaged.

I'm not alone: Every engaged or recently-married girlfriend I talk to seems to have had blowouts every time they communicate with their soon-to-be-spouse about money they spend on the wedding. I decided it was time to call in reinforcement: Farnoosh Torabi, a personal finance expert and fellow bride-to-be getting married next June in Philly! 

Another reason the bride and groom shouldn't see each other before the wedding: They might get their oufits mixed up?! Just kidding. We love a couple that doesn't take themselves too seriously, so we couldn't help but love Vivien and Ron's crazy pre-wedding shoot with Cream Pictures.

Once I discovered @ThatsMyFiancee on Twitter, I knew I had stumbled upon a comedic goldmine. Chris Winfield, the brave groom behind the account, documents his wedding-planning experiences with light-hearted, refreshingly honest messages that are 140 characters or less. "If the wedding is going to be fun, the planning should be also," Chris said. Here, he shares 10 exclusive things he's learned so far (Editor's Note: To my fiancé Jason, don't get any ideas!).

Last week, when a fan presented Madonna with hydrangeas, she was caught on camera telling a friend, "I absolutely loathe hydrangeas. He obviously doesn't know that."

Well, now Madonna has issued an apology to hydrangeas... in her own special way.

We don't really know what to say about this video... I guess remember to bring her roses next time??

We're curious: Which flowers do you hate? And which flowers do you  love? Tell us in the comments!

Hola, my lovely BG.com ladies! From the title, I'm pretty sure you all know what today's topic is about. Being 20 years old and preparing for a wedding that will take place a few weeks after your 21st birthday is a slightly...what shall we call it..."different" experience.
