(The butterflies below are cut from invitations. Swoon! ) Both collections will be available in January. 6 THESE 8 COLORFUL REAL-GIRL ENGAGEMENT RINGS We saw a few colorful engagement rings in 2013&amp;amp;#8212;I&amp;#x27;m looking forward to seeing more next year. 5 THIS WEDDING RING INSCRIPTION At this year&amp;#x27;s Glamour Women of the Year Awards, Hillary Clinton introduced Glamour Couple of the Year Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly and shared this little tidbit: On their wedding day, Mark&amp;amp;#8212;who is an astronaut&amp;amp;#8212;gave Gabby a wedding ring inscribed with the words &amp;quot;The closest to heaven that I&amp;#x27;ve ever been.&amp;quot; Guys, the man is an ASTRONAUT. I&amp;#x27;m crying again. 4 THIS UP-THEMED PROPOSAL You can relive the totally magical proposal that Joe created for Laura by reading his side of the story here. 3 THESE 6 FRESH WEDDING DRESSES Of the many, many wedding dresses we&amp;#x27;ve seen this year, I&amp;#x27;m naming these six my favorites.

The Supreme Court struck down DOMA (celebrities were PSYCHED) giving same-sex couples the same federal marriage rights as the rest of us, and same-sex marriage was legalized in 10 states in 2013&amp;amp;#8212;California, New Jersey, New Mexico, Utah, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, Maryland, and my home state, Rhode Island&amp;amp;#8212;bringing the total number to 17, plus Washington, D.C.
