The best humorists couldn't come up with this stuff: Fillerup-Standing. Kumon-Topomi. And, my personal fave, Moore-Bacon.

If you have
an engagement in your future, lead your boyfriend to
Brilliant Earth. Based in San Francisco, the company grew out of a real marriage proposal. After founder Beth Gerstein's fiancé couldn't find a source for conflict-free diamonds, the couple took matters into their own hands.

Bachelor and bachelorette parties are so odd to me. Some of them seem to undermine the symbolism of the romantic gesture of getting married. Like, how does having a stripper grind on you during a lap dance signify that you're ready to walk down the aisle with your sweetie?

During last week's episode of
The Office, lovebirds Jim and Pam discussed moving in together, but there was just one hitch — Pam wanted to be engaged first. Or, at least,
that's what she said. This not-so-subtle hint didn't scare Jim off at all.

With wedding mania in full effect here on the Sugar Network, we have found some pretty geeky ways for you to shop for those
engagement rings and streamline your
engagement announcements with technology.

wedding planning stages, how geeky are you willing to go for your big day? Would you have a cake master create
the ultimate geeky wedding cake, or even don some uber geeky cake toppers like this
(totally awesome) Robot Couple from Etsy?

Combining animal families can be as tricky as blending each other's human families, both needing lots of love and patience. To make all the members of your new and improved pack feel welcome, include them in on your wedding shower festivities.

I'm not married, or engaged, but the idea of creating a wedding registry totally excites me — dancing around a store (ahem,
27 dresses) with a barcode scanner, scanning to your hearts desire?! Good times indeed (yes, I'm delusional!). Scratch that thought for just a sec, and let's get back to basics and practicality — online wedding registries.

Anyone who has ever
registered for wedding gifts knows that the process can be pretty overwhelming. Where should you register? And what should you choose once you've got that barcode scanner in your hot little hands?
