Make this weekend all about you and your honey by spending time together in the great outdoors.  Take Friday to travel to a romantic location that’s off the beaten path — and yes, that may mean no cell phone service, which will really make it all about the two of you.  Use the commute as a way to discuss the activities you want to do once you’re there, and don’t forget to compromise if necessary.

On the night you arrive, set up the tent and use your natural resources, such as wood and branches, to start a campfire.  Cuddle under a blanket while roasting marshmallows and telling spooky stories.

By DeAnna Lorraine

Summer is here, which means wedding season is already well underway. That’s good news for those walking down the aisle, but how about for those who are still single? Sure, some might use weddings as a hot singles spot to meet someone new, but others just feel depressed. There’s a reason that therapy bills increase every summer. Though major movies like Wedding Crashers always cast single women as being desperate and emotionally vulnerable, it seems that men are more and more likely to be bitten by the love bug first at a wedding. In fact, they’re also just as likely as women to be emotionally vulnerable. Here are some other things you might not have realized about single guys at weddings:

Honeymoon planning might be the least stressful and most fun part of planning your wedding, but there’s still a lot to consider. While celebrities such as Carrie Underwood, Molly Sims, Fergie and Tiger Woods choose luxurious  locations like Maui, Tahiti, the Bahamas or the open seas aboard a $57 million yacht, we regular folks don’t have to sacrifice our savings to have an unforgettable honeymoon. You just have to know where to go.

There are some honeymoon destinations that are not only insanely beautiful, but that also won’t drain your bank account. Of all the places I’ve traveled, here are my three favorites:

The Rock of Ages star declared her love for boyfriend Ryan Seacrest on Friday while promoting her new musical movie on his radio show. According to People, 22-year old Hough closed the flirty interview with a simple, “Alright. Love you. Bye” after Seacrest complimented the movie and shared how proud he was of his gorgeous gal. The radio host was later teased by members of his staff for not returning the ‘I love you.’ But between Seacrest’s praise over his girlfriend and Hough’s declaration, love seems to be the least of their worries.

If you live in the U.S., you and your honey can get a taste of foreign culture without traveling overseas this weekend.  Traveling abroad is expensive and impractical for a short trip, but there are many places in the states dedicated to celebrating an array of various cultures.

Take a trip to Frankenmuth, Michigan for the Bavarian Festival, voted one of the top 5 festivals in the area. Running through the summer months, you’ll have a blast while immersing yourself in German heritage.  Enjoy games and rides with your other half, dance to live Bavarian music, indulge in ethnic food and try ice-cold, imported German beers.  The two of you will be getting a taste of Germany without having to spring for a pair of expensive tickets across the Atlantic.

For Will Smith and his leading lady Jada Pinkett Smith, two kids and well over a decade of marriage are definitely worth celebrating… with a high-five and encouraging words like, “We survived another year, homie! Yeah!” according to Jada Pinkett. Come December, 15 years will have passed since the Hollywood parents exchanged their vows in a secret New Years Eve ceremony in 1997. The Madagascar 3 star credits much of their long-lasting marriage to being “the best of friends,” telling People at the movie’s premiere, “You have to be there for each other. That’s how you build great relationships.” Despite years of speculation and recent rumors that Mr. and Mrs. Smith are experiencing marital problems, the pair continues to go strong.

We’ve made it! We’re finally to the halfway point when the superficial, made-for-TV drama must go away and make room for the real connections to bloom on ‘The Bachelorette.’ Emily Maynard is now in falling-in-love mode, so it’s time for the guys to get serious and show her they’re ready to fall in love too.

As you know, I work with thousands of men, and one of their biggest challenges is connecting. Connection is something that comes really naturally to women, especially to a woman like Emily. As a single mother, she is even more open to love. But for men, the ability to share themselves with a woman can be a daunting task.

Honestly, I have been surprised this season because most of the contestants have it figured out. But there are still some who struggle with opening up, which may hurt their chances of taking their relationship with Emily to the next level – especially as the number of men gets smaller and smaller every week.

Fathers have the ability to influence all aspects of their daughters’ lives, including areas most wouldn’t even imagine. According to numerous psychological studies, a father’s temperament, sense of humor and even facial features are stored in his daughter’s memory bank, becoming favorable traits in her search for a partner. While some of this happens automatically, most dads aren’t exactly passive when it comes to doling out their wisdom, especially when it comes to dating. In honor of Father’s Day, we’ve compiled the five best pieces of relationship advice ever given by dear ol’ Dad:

Let go of your inhibitions this weekend and do something daring with your other half.  Why not face your fears together?  Experiencing a riveting, heart-thumping activity with your partner is a perfect way to bond, especially when you’re holding onto each other for dear life.

For truly brave couples, get off the ground and go sky diving.  Many companies will videotape the whole experience, and although it’s an added fee, it’s worth the memory.  While the actual jump may seem like too short of a date, you’ll be taking your romance to new altitudes.

For some people, a long distance relationship can seem like a tremendous hurdle to overcome, and many couples who are apart frequently see these relationships as positive instead of negative. Celebrities are no exception.

One celebrity couple that speaks openly about the benefits of long distance partnerships is Victoria and David Beckham. Their busy careers frequently keep them apart, forcing them to have separate homes oceans apart. However, they feel the distance doesn’t take from their love. Instead, they think that the extra space enhances it.

By Lisa Moore

Many women obsess about having the ideal body, model looks and flawless hair. In fact, one survey suggests that 66 percent of women are so unhappy with their bodies that, despite the recent recession, they would spend money to achieve a perfect look. 90% of the 3,000 women questioned said their bodies depressed them, and 75% of women think about their shape and size every day. Gill Todd, a clinical nurse specialist at Bethlem Royal Hospital in South London, says that women are getting the message that they need to be thin in order to be happy and successful, especially in the romance area. It seems like women hate their bodies.

The question is, why should they? Why do women want these “perfect” bodies? Here are some misconceptions that put unneeded stresses on a female’s relationships and keep her from loving who she is:

Cupid's Pulse Article: The Single Love-Guru: Author Devan Sipher Discusses Relationships and ‘The Wedding Beat’

By Joseph Weissgold

Dating and searching for “the one” is an imperfect art. Gavin Green, the protagonist from Devan Sipher’s debut novel The Wedding Beat (New American Library), knows this better than anyone. As a sentimental, neurotic, middle-aged, Jewish man, he tries to use his profession as a wedding columnist to find a strategy to fix his own miserable love life.

The author, Devan Sipher, is also a single, Jewish wedding-columnist at the New York Times. But thanks to his years of romantic journalism, this book can be read as a dating guide for sensitive men as well as for its witty prose and fast-paced story.

We had a chance to speak with Sipher, and he revealed some of the conclusions he’s drawn about love, relationships and marriage based on the many interviews he’s done with happy couples on their road to tying the knot.

What to Wear to a Summer Wedding

Cupid's Pulse Article: What to Wear to a Summer Wedding

By Sarah Thaman

Spring has arrived, and along with it comes prime wedding Season! If you have a relative or friend getting married this summer (and you didn’t get called to bridesmaid duty), you may be wondering what appropriate attire might be. How can you dress to impress while still embracing the summer style? While the rules vary, here are some great ideas for three common types of weddings: Formal, Semi-Formal, and Casual/Beach.

Formal: Formal, or black-tie, affairs typically call for full-length dresses. Channel your inner goddess with a color block maxi paired with a headband and silver bangles. Mint green is a hot trend, and pairing this hue with an emerald jewel tone make it ideal for day or night. Wear your hair down, or stun with a low, loose bun. A small black clutch is a perfect complement, holding all of your night’s necessities.

Related Link: What to Wear on a First Date

Semi-Formal: Semi-formal weddings are often harder to decipher. It’s always better to be more dressed up than underdressed, so opt for a flirty cocktail dress. A chiffon dress with bright-colored accessories will always hit the mark. Nails are another great accessory — and they often go overlooked. Choose a pair of neutral peep toe heels and perfectly pedicured toes for an added pop of color.

Casual/Beach: If the event calls for casual attire, such as a beach wedding, choose a feminine sundress. This is a perfect opportunity to sport a trendy print such as florals. Dress it up with a pair of adorable wedges, or dress it down with a pair of flat sandals. A peachy cheek and a cute, pastel bag complete the look.

Related Link: What to Wear to Meet His Family

When choosing a color of dress, consider when the wedding will take place. If the event is during the day, opt for lighter colors. Remember that while you want to look your best, this is the bride’s day. Out of courtesy, stay away from ivory, or all-white dresses. If the event is taking place in the evening, consider darker, jewel tone frocks. Follow these tips and you can’t go wrong. Who knows, you may just end up meeting your future husband — possibly a groomsman?

Author Bio: While I may not be a professional stylist, I pride myself on choosing fashion that looks polished and classic, and I’m always helping friends choose their date outfits.  Although I’m a writer for HandbagHeaven.com by day, outside of work I take joy in being a matchmaker, a newlywed, and a momma to my precious puppy, Luna.
