Be honest: Whenever you think of Queen Elizabeth, you don't think of a warm and fuzzy ol' granny. That woman is a monarch. She means business. But, you know, to Prince William, she is HRH Grandma. And having a grandmother with that much power has its perks! Especially when it comes to a wedding, which -- even when it's not a royal one -- can get so out of hand super fast.

In a new ITV1 documentary about Queen Elizabeth that airs next month, Wills opens up about how when he first started planning his wedding to Kate Middleton, he was handed the original royal wedding guest list (by whom is not clear) with 777 names on it ... and apparently, "not one person I knew or Catherine knew." How horrific! And we thought the royal wedding was all fun and games. Ha!

So how did Wills cope?

Better check to see if you can still return those wedding gifts, everyone. Turns out Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie might not exactly be getting married anytime soon. Brad just talked about his engagement and he sounded decidedly nonchalant about the whole thing. First, he said that the engagement "made sense." Okay, Brad, flood insurance makes sense. Investing in your 401(k) makes sense. Engaged to the mother of your six children and love of your life? That requires a bit more flamboyant language, no?

Then, Brad said that he and Ange don't have a wedding date and that they are "still hoping for marriage equality in the States" before they walk down the aisle. Eh, boy. Sounds like we're going to be waiting a loooong time for the wedding of the century (sorry, Will and Kate). I mean, North Carolina alone will hold this shindig up for eternity.

So, by now you've probably heard that filthy rich Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg got married over the weekend to longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan, in what could be described as the Royal Wedding of Silicon Valley. But completely unlike the 2011 nuptials of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, there was zero lead-up and anticipation for the general public. In fact, it sounds like even their closest family and friends, who were invited to the wedding, were caught off-guard, as they were told they would be attending a soiree for Priscilla's med school graduation. Wonder if Zuck's folks even knew the real scoop ahead of time?!

And if not ... oh man do I envy these blissful newlyweds! That's right. I'm not lamenting the fact that I didn't just make bank like Zuck did on the Facebook IPO. Oh no. I am more envious of his spontaneous "I do"s!

Ah, weddings. No matter how much you plan, there's no guarantee that everything will go off without a hitch. Take Lauren and Nick. They were saying their vows and all was going well until, that is, the officiant lost her place in the reading and accidentally implied that Nick is, uh, well endowed. Not that there's anything wrong with telling the whole congregation that Nick's penis is large and in charge, but I have a feeling that wasn't exactly what the bride and groom had in mind for their "I do"s.

This hilarious accident is the stuff the Facebook share button was made for. Check it:

They say timing is everything. And now we know why Mark Zuckerberg went public with Facebook this week. He needed a really good wedding gift when he married long-time girlfriend Priscilla Chan in private. Aww!

Put it that way, and all the bad stuff we're always hearing about Zuck in the news kind of pales, doesn't it? It sounds like a pretty darn romantic gesture.

As we all know by now, North Carolina voted to pass Amendment One, which bans marriage and domestic legal unions between members of the same sex. This was done, of course, to protect the sanctity of marriage. But let's face it. Divorce rates are pretty high -- as high as 50 percent in a lot of studies. And the vast majority of those people are not same sex partners since, you know, that's still illegal in most states. So I'm putting it out there and saying that the sanctity of marriage is under attack -- by heteros!

There are many factors that help contribute to the sky high divorce rate. Younger people tend to get divorced more often, so perhaps there should be a ban on anyone under 25 getting married. I've also read studies that people with high levels of "neuroticism" -- those who tend see the negative in everything -- also get divorced more often. No more marriage for you, neurotic types!

Here's 7 other types of marriages North Carolina should consider banning:

Apparently Kris Humphries wants his soon-to-be-ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, to hand back the 20-carat engagement ring he gave her. Who can blame him? Their blink-and-you'll-miss-it marriage lasted only 72 days. Plus, Kris feels the entire thing wasn't based on love, but deceit. Says a source:

Kris wants the ring back because the marriage only lasted 72 days and he believes it was based on fraud and deceit. Remember, Kim filed for divorce. Kris paid for that ring, and he just can't fathom why Kim would want to keep it. It's not like she is ever going to wear it again.

I sympathize with Kris. I really, really do. But he's wrong.

My little workout equipment corner in our apartment I am not one of those brides who plans to stick a tube up her nose or go on some wacky no-carb crash diet to get "fit to wed." On the other hand, I've always thought that leading up to The Big Day, I'd commit to a hardcore workout plan (paired with sensible, balanced eating). Seems like something realistic, healthy, and above all, effective.

Enter Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution. Going beyond the former Biggest Loser trainer's tried-and-true 30-Day Shred (love!), Body Revolution is 12-weeks worth of 30-minute circuit training workouts that pair cardio with weight training for major "metabolism-boosting." Being that my sluggish thyroid and sedentary lifestyle could use exactly that, and I already loved Michaels' no-nonsense style, I decided to go for it when I was offered a chance to test-drive the program. That was six weeks ago.
