&lt;P&gt;While we're on the topic of awesome dessert ideas, how about this one? Neither Tara or Mitch were really into cake so they decided to serve root beer floats and&amp;nbsp;chocolate stout floats instead! We just added their &lt;A class="" href="http://weddings.theknot.com/Real-Weddings/51591/view.aspx?type=1&amp;amp;id=51591"&gt;California ranch wedding&lt;/A&gt; to the site and I highly recommend checking out the rest of the details.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Using the unofficial wedding idea counter in my head, here's engagement photo idea&amp;nbsp;#199 billion:&amp;nbsp;Show off&amp;nbsp;your engagement photos at your ceremony, like this Alabama couple did here on their summer ceremony program fans.&amp;nbsp;(Okay, I exaggerate in the numbers department,&amp;nbsp;but seriously --&amp;nbsp;there are countless decor ideas for engagement photos!)&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Three steps to a way-cool bar:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1. Take engagement photos.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Wedding planner Steve Kemble, star of TLC's "Battle of the Wedding Planners," gave us his top tips for throwing a wedding guests will love:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Tell your love story in your ceremony programs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Combine the father/daughter and mother/son dances into one song.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Change the color of the lighting&amp;nbsp;as the reception goes on.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Tune in to his special on TLC tonight, November 13, at 10 p.m. EST!&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Okay, I&amp;nbsp;realize that theme-y engagement photo shoots aren't for everyone, but&amp;nbsp;I'm a big fan of this&amp;nbsp;&lt;EM&gt;North by Northwest&lt;/EM&gt;-themed engagement photo shoot! There's just something&amp;nbsp;so&amp;nbsp;desperately romantic about&amp;nbsp;being chased through a field by a crop-dusting plane -- you know, in&amp;nbsp;that classic-old-movie kind of way (*wink*).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
