Since today is 9/9/09, couples from around the globe are flocking to chapels, churches and city halls to get married on a day they say they will always remember—especially since it will be nearly impossible to forget.

According to this article from ABC News, there are some high profile weddings taking place in honor of the 9/9/09 date as well, including nine lucky couples who won the chance to get married at a 99-Cent Only Store for only $0.99. They were even provided with this “Chanel-inspired” wedding dress, decor and more, all made from items from the 99 Cent Only Store!

We applaud that kind of creative penny pinching, and we wish all of the happy couples getting married today the best of luck! Congratulations!

I found this adorable idea on Brooklyn Bride this morning. The groom, Andrew, wrote this book when he was six years old, and his mom luckily had it stashed away somewhere.

When he and Jami got engaged, the pair combined the classic childhood story with engagement photos to prove that little Andrew was part psychic, part storyteller back in the day.

They used their story as an engagement part invitation, but we think it would be a fantastic idea for wedding favors, a slide show or even a photo book.

Here are just a few pages. You can see more at Brooklyn Bride. So cute!
