Remember those super-cheesy but totally addictive dating shows that ruled the airways? We sure do—and we miss 'em, in fact. Enter Tacori, one of the most amazing diamond jewelers around (you can check out our favorite ring here). They've decided to make engagement ring shopping a bit more fun—not that buying diamonds isn't fun—with the recent debut of The Tacori Mating Game. Play along with slick host Guy Goodall by asking your potential suitors typical questions, such as "If you could have any super power what would it be and why?" When all's said and done, you find out who your mate should be, how he/she could propose, and the most important piece: The ring! And although I do consider myself one with discriminating taste, the game was spot on, picking a gorgeous cushion-cut center stone ring set in a pavé diamond band. You can share your results on Facebook (follow BridalGuide, too!) for your friends or significant other to see, and hopefully purchase, of course.

Bonjour mon cheries, honeymooners if you love the great outdoors, but don’t love sleeping in a sack, have I got a concept for you—glamping! I know, I know, convincing your guy to take part in something that sounds like it came out of the mind of the writers of Sex and the City may take some convincing, but not when you tell him about The Resort at Paws Up in Montana. Located on a riverside working cattle ranch, the 24-tent resort offers all the rugged outdoorsy adventures for woodsmen and a healthy helping of luxurious amenities for the pampered types. There are jetted tubs, butler service and sumptuous linens, as well as delectable cuisine and activities a go-go. You, darling honeymooners, will love the new Tango Point tent, which is set on a bluff overlooking Blackfoot River and Ele Creek. The tent also has a gorgeous claw-foot tub—did someone say champagne bubble bath?—and a fantastic perch for star gazing. The new Moonlight Camp is adults-only area where six-tents sit under the shade of towering pine trees. Stay here and you’ll be closer to the glampiest canvas-sided spot around—the Spa Tent.
For more information, including the deets on all manner of activities (which include kayaking, fly fishing, hiking, horseback riding and hot-air ballooning), check out the resort’s website pawsup.com.

Writer aside: This post has very little to do with travel, and even less to do with honeymooning. I just thought it was way cool...

Have I ever told you about my MOH/sister Alison? She’s got more talent than most anybody on the planet. She’s a classically trained opera singer, who has performed with the Rachel Barry, er, I mean Lea Michele, and was a soloist at the Vatican. (Yep, she sang for the really Big Man in Rome.) My sister is also a master baker, who makes the most ridiculous vegan and gluten-free wedding cakes. And in her free time she makes vintage-inspired bridal accessories. Some of which have been featured in major mags, including the fashion pages of Bridal Guide.

As for the first-born of the family, well, I’m about as crafty as a hippo. So when I saw this story about making passport stamps into wall art I thought, “Wow. That’d be a cool thing to have my sister make me!” JK... well only slightly. But I do think that this is a super fun way to immortalize some travel memories.

The ingredients: Wood blocks, gold paint, paper images that fit the wood blocks and some spray adhesive. The result is a lasting remembrance of your favorite destinations. For a step-by-step tutorial, visit brooklynlimestone.com.
