...their house. Li and fiancé Bernie Tang are tamping down costs simply by being flexible with the time. "I had really wanted a night wedding," says Li, but it was hard to argue with the $15,000 savings they'll get by holding it on Saturday afternoon. Moving the date can help too. Danny Craig and Heather Pfisterer say holding their wedding on a Sunday rather than a Saturday got them a 33% discount at the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach, Calif., on the minimum amount they were required to spend on food and drinks.

In that regard, exit polls from her lopsided win over Obama in Kentucky pointed in an ominous direction: only a third of those who voted for her said they would support Obama over John McCain in the fall.

...What those laws should do is ban Céline Dion from singing, and award the the Legion of Honor to people who listened to her and survived," suggests Porte - who was hardly alone in decrying Dion's selection as the most egregious example to date of the institution confusing fame with substance. "Has she saved the planet? Found a cure for AIDS? Legalized adoption for gay parents?" asked the weekly magazine Marianne. "Not at all, she represents success."
