People Magazine Seeks Unusual Wedding Stories

Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway

It's official. We are a nation addicted to weddings, wedding stress, wedding disaster stories and romantic wedding proposals. We just cannot get enough!

Even PEOPLE Magazine is straying from the Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and Arun Nayar and Liz Hurley celebrity wedding coverage to take a peek as how the simple folk wed.

Known for celebrity news, features, photos and gossip and celebrity wedding stories that sell, the magazine is jumping onto the wedding band wagon with a their first issue of PEOPLE's Real Life Weddings.

This means your wedding may be as unusual and dramatic as marriages between famous people who tie the knot in castles, and celebrity couples whose nuptials are surrounded by controversy.

So, Las Vegas brides and grooms, here's your chance for 15 minutes more of wedding fame!

PEOPLE is looking for real brides and grooms -- not just Tom and Katie -- to feature in this new publication.

You can go to the website and fill out a slightly annoying form and submit your story, contact info and photo.

The categories of interest include:

1) Extremely unusual or somewhat wacky wedding ceremony.

2) Proposal stories

3) Wedding disasters

4) Destination weddings.

PEOPLE's Real Life Wedding goes on sale June 15. On the current blog you will find a funky feature on "real-life ugly bridesmaids dresses."
