Not every woman is cut out for a big Kim Kardashian-style bash for her big day.  Many would prefer a quick and discrete elopement, much like Tara Reid’s wedding.  So, what’s a girl to do?  And how do you decide what’s the right choice for you?

Let’s take a look at things objectively for a minute.  If you have a large family (and, wow, Kim K. does), then you have to examine how many people you’re comfortable inviting to your celebration.  If you have dreams of being a princess, a big traditional ceremony is just the thing for you.

Kim Kardashian’s ceremony was just about as close to a fairy tale wedding as you can get…without actually being a royal.  Between the three costume changes, black and white color scheme, and nearly 400 guests, she wowed the guests with glitz and glam.

Celebrity. For some, the word implies arrogance, narcissism, and superficiality. For others, it implies kindness, charisma, and power. While it’s true that both definitions have their part in celebrity culture, more and more celebrity couples are trying to change those stereotypes by turning their focus towards charity and humanitarian efforts. Here are some of the main culprits:

1. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: It’s no secret that longtime partners Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt like to give back, especially when it comes to adopting children from impoverished countries.   Jolie, a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN since 2001, has traveled to over 20 countries in attempts to raise refugee awareness. Brad Pitt, though relatively new to charity work, impressed many by starting The Make It Right Foundation after seeing the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina. The Foundation has built over 50 “green” houses, and has brought more than 200 people back to the Lower Ninth Ward, a devastated neighborhood in New Orleans.  More recently, the Jolie-Pitts made headline news when they donated $500,000 dollars to the Joplin Tornado Relief Services in Missouri. Also newsworthy are the Jolie-Pitts tax returns, which according to Britain’s The Independent, show that Jolie and Pitt donated almost 5 million dollars to various charities in 2009.

You’ve heard it before: “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.”  While men all over the world ”eat up” this saying, what they forget is that food is a major way into a woman’s heart, too.  More to the point, couples who share a mutual love of food form stronger bonds with each other.  Statistics show that 75% of Americans eat out at least once a week, so why not spend that meal with your special someone?

Here’s a list of restaurant genres that should be on every couple’s food forecast:

1. The Quiet Café

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why not find a café that both of you love that’s calm and cozy.   It will make waking up every Saturday morning even better, and there’s nothing more comforting than a place that knows exactly how you like your eggs and coffee, without even asking.  The best cafés are less crowded and more secluded, so find a low-key spot that not a lot of people know about.  For extra intimacy points, opt for al fresco seating!

2. The Favorite Pizza Joint

On nights when neither of you really want to cook, pizza makes a great fail-safe plan.  Better yet, pizza can be taken to go, when a Friday night spent cuddling in front of the DVR is in order, or eaten right at the “joint” itself, when a laidback, Italian atmosphere is just what you need to relax and wind down.   Having a favorite pizza joint to turn to, where you can enjoy some quality, casual conversation, is the perfect pair pleaser.. Bon appétit!
