Apparently, June is Miami Romance Month and Hotels Are Playing Along

They're at it again. The ever-busy Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau have a new marketing toy to play with--a promo and website called MiamiRomanceMonth.com, which plays up June as the month of brides and grooms.

But how are the hotels involved? For starters, next week five crazy loved-up couples will battle it out for a chance to win a $150,000 wedding at the fancy Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables.

Kelsey and Kayte's Plaza Wedding Reception Starred a Masterpiece Cake

Just days after his 56th birthday, actor Kelsey Grammer took to the Plaza Hotel to celebrate his marriage to 29-year-old Kayte Walsh—a former Virgin Atlantic flight attendant who may now count herself as Grammer bride No. 4.

The mismatched couple—known for shameless public displays of affection—were reported to have booked the hotel back in early February, and—thanks to a TMZ-released five-page banquet order—details of the lavish wedding reception soon became public knowledge. A $400 per head cost of the event guaranteed a "Premium" open bar, champagne toast (unfortunately, the speech itself remained un-published), and mouthwatering hors d'oeuvres like goat cheese truffles, butterflied ginger prawns, and handmade arepas. After reading through the five-star menu, even we would be willing to tolerate a poolside groping session with the Gramms himself.

Bam Margera Ties The Reality Television Knot at Loews Philly

Where: 1200 Market Street [map], Philadelphia, PA, United States, 19107

Bam Margera and Missy Rothstein were married back in February, and despite the spotty history of MTV reality show couples, the Margeras let MTV film the whole thing.

Last nights episode culminated with a 300+ person wedding ceremony and celebration that was held at Loews Philadelphia Hotel.

In a weekend celebration that featured Bam trying to push a broken footed, wheel chair ridden, Novak down an escalator, Iggy Pop hopping into bed with Bam and Novak in just a bathrobe, and plenty of jack-assian antics, the Loews appeared to hold up really well.  Sure the antics were noticeably toned and we have been to plenty of weddings that were way more jack ass antic filled than that one, however, the Loews Hotel still came out of the whole thing looking great.  

Staffers were pleasant and helpful, the rooms looked sleek and quite large, and wedding went off without a hitch.  

One caveat, the bathrooms, even in suite 2920, where the bride stayed, appeared to have that terrible fluorescent hotel bathroom lighting that shows every blemish--not necessarily a plus for worried brides, but just turn those damn fluorescent lights off and you will be set.
