Meghan and Chris’s November wedding was held at a gothic style mansion in the Catskills, New York. They were entranced by the venue, which was filled with rich history, and stunning woods surrounding it. They really tried to make it their own; the first dance, for example, was done behind a curtain with a spotlight so their 75 guests could only see their silhouettes. They also had a tarot card reader as an option for guests who didn't want to dance in the evening.

Mindy and Ben had two wedding days. The first, was their legal ceremony, at 30 Rockefeller Center in new York officiated by Hoda Kotb from The Today Show! The bride explained, "It was simply too cool of an opportunity to pass up! The people at the show took care of everything from the flowers to the dress, and it was a beautiful day. However, we only had three weeks notice that we'd been picked for it and since the show tapes in New York and we live in Chicago, we knew all of our friends and family would not be able to make it. So, on our first anniversary, we threw a groovy, carefree reception at a local vintage bowling alley."
