\"\"Some modern couples are forgoing the typical and turning to the spectacular to make their wedding truly an event to remember. Here, we’ve compiled a list of old wedding traditions<\/a> and new twists that you can incorporate into your 2010 wedding.<\/p>\n

Old Tradition: Matching wedding parties <\/strong>

New Twist: Bridesmaid dresses of varying styles<\/strong>

Old Tradition: Wedding costs covered by the bride’s parents<\/strong>
\nRacking up exorbitant wedding bills? Just pass them along to good old mom and dad.<\/p>\n

New Twist: Footing the bill yourselves<\/strong>
\nThe average age of most wedding-planning couples is 27, which means many of them have established careers and can afford to take on much of the expenses themselves.
