It’s wedding season, and brides, grooms and their photographers are popping up in scenic spots everywhere. What makes a wedding meaningful? Can stressful wedding preparation taint a marriage? What are some of the most special moments — and the biggest flops — of weddings you’ve been to or been in?

We consider weddings — from blowout seven-tier cake affairs to guerrilla weddings where participants illegally descend on a premiere spot for a quickie ceremony.

Guests:

Meg Keene, author of "A Practical Wedding: Creative Solutions for Planning a Beautiful, Affordable, and Meaningful Celebration" and publisher and executive editor of the website APracticalWedding.com

Kathryn Storke, founder and editor of SnippetAndInk.com, a wedding blog
