While this might not be for everyone (or for most anyone), I'm sure there are some
Ikea addicts out there who will be charmed by the prospect of getting married at the big blue store.
The
Ikea "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" Want to Get Married at the Mamma Mia. The Movie Wedding Event Couples Search (whoo. that's a mouthful, huh?) will take place on July 17th, a day before Universal Pictures' release of Mamma Mia.
Day-Lab DIY, whose

If you happen to be in Kobe, Japan, make sure to ride the rails, since through May 6th, the train is decked out in Ikea seating and textiles. The Kobe Portliner Monorail has been decorated in Ikea gear to celebrate the launch of an Ikea store at Port Island.

Ikea's new
Ange Chair ($129) may look like it's made of rattan, but it's actually made of twisted paper. And lest you doubt the strength of paper, I should note that I used to have a bench made from twisted paper, and it was pretty darn strong (at least, it held up under the weight of a couple of ladies lounging on it on a Spring afternoon). I think a few of these would look great on a patio or deck.
