order. natalie? >> i am. i'm testing out the band right now. they're playing "as time goes by." play it again, michael. right here with me and heading up the hank lane 12 piece orchestra is steve delaney. such a pleasure to have you here. you're going to be sharing the stage and the dance floor with martina mcbride who is going to be performing the first dance. what is that like for you? >> it was a wonderful experience for us. we met with her this morning and she just sounds lovely. leigh and nick are in for some event here at the plaza. >> it's going to be amazing. once leigh and nick head into their chariots and come over here to the plaza hotel, the grand ball room is awaiting them. so matt and meredith, we can't wait for them to arrive. band sounds pretty good. >> they will be heading over, and so we will. >> that's right, soon. first we're going to go into the news desk.

getting some water for matt. >> this should be ugly. >> all right you guys, thank you so much. and we do have some news to get to this morning. in fact, it's very sad news. the iran state television is saying this morning that there are no survivors after a passenger jet with 168 people on board crashed today, shortly after takeoff. the caspian airplane was heading to armenia from tehran. a witness describes seeing the plane's tail burst into flames before the plane came crashing down, leaving a huge crater in a field. investigators in washington are now trying to figure out how a foot-long hole developed in the ceiling of a southwest airlines jet in midflight. recorders in the 737 section that peeled open have been sent to ntsb laboratories. the plane made an emergency landing on west virginia on monday night and it turns out the cracks had been found in the same aircraft six months ago. seven men are now under arrest in the murder of a well-known florida couple. among them, a number of u.s. air

force special operations, as well as a 16-year-old boy. police now say that they believe that they have all the primary suspects, but they are still seeking a person of interest. today, president obama makes another push to overhaul the nation's medicare -- the health care system. on tuesday, house democrats unveiled a $1.5 trillion plan that would greatly expand access to affordable health insurance. the plan would be funded in part by a 5.4% tax on those making more than $1 million a year. severe weather tror through parts of the midwest on tuesday, including a tornado that caused major damage in spicer, minnesota. it peeled off roofs and downed trees and power lines but there are no reports of injuries. it's no exaggeration to call this a death defying stunt. a german pilot lost control of a vintage biplane near frankfurt. he crashed into a car carrying a couple and their daughter. but no one was seriously injured.

and a credit card company is blaming a computer glitch for a whopper of a visa bill. it went to a north texas man. and said he owed more than 23 quadrillion dollars for a meal at a restaurant. visa is now working to fix the problem. it is now six minutes past the hour. get a check of the weather now from al. >> 15% on a tip for that. anyway, let's show you what's going on as far as your weather is concerned. honeymoon forecast for nick and leigh. they're in australia, thursday through saturday, clouds, limited sunshine. temperatures in the upper 50s. low temperatures in the mid 40s. remember they're in the southern hemisphere so it's winter there. sunday through tuesday, temperatures in low 60s and low temperatures in the mid 40s. and you can see we've got gorgeous weather here in the east, up and down along t t >> partly cloudy skies expected with the dry high of 86 degrees was central maryland.

84 in ocean city. tomorrow, signs of change as different approac that's your latest weather. and a quick note, last night on "america's got talent," a group of post office employees from richmond, virginia, took to the stage as the final act of the evening, and they sure delivered. the coworkers known as the spiritual harmonizers had the audience out of their seats and cheering in seconds. you can catch more unexpected talent tonight as auditions continue in new york and seattle. all righty now let's turn to "today's money." we're talking appropriately about marriage and finances. now that nick and leigh have tied the knot, what do we need

to know about merging your bank accounts? "today's" financial editor jean chatzky has always the answers. she writes about marriage and money in this mon's "more" magazine. did you shed a little tear? >> just a little. >> as somebody who just tied the knot you know all about this. >> absolutely. >> how important is it for them to be on the same page financially? >> i think this is a big myth. people think that just because they married somebody they're all of a sudden going to become the same person. what attracted you to each other are chances are the things that are going to continue to exist in your life. and so if you had different money personalities or different money goals going in, you're going to continue to have those. the important thing is just to communicate about them so they don't start to cause problems. >> therapists tell us the number one argument is money in a marriage. and of course, the basic thing is about separate or joint checking accounts. how do you determine what's best for you? >> you know there are some people out there who will tell you that a marriage is not fully merged or fully trusting unless

the money is commingled completely. i totally disagree. i think the system that works best is a yours, mine and ours bank account system, where we've got one account for the house that covers everything that we do together, but she still has some money of her own. he still has some money of his own, so that you can make decisions independently. >> now, let's say you have separate accounts. does that change how you would file taxes or anything like that? >> not necessarily. it really, you can file separately. you can file jointly, and it will depend on your economic situation. >> another big argument, household bills. when you're starting off, what's the best way to set that up? >> if everything is coming from that household account, the way i like to do it is to figure out what your household expenses are. if you are both working, figure out what equal percentage of your salaries you need to cover that amount for the house. and then everything else can stay in the joint -- in the separate accounts. you shouldn't put one person in charge of doing all the bills all the time.

because, whether it's the man or whether it's the woman, it puts the other spouse at a disadvantage. if something happens to that primary bill payer, the other person is going to be at a total loss. so even though one person is likely to take on these things more often, make sure that once or twice a year you just switch it up so the other person actually knows what they're doing. >> all right. so in honor of leigh and nick, let's look at some tips for newlyweds. first of all you say very important, schedule financial dates. >> once a week at a time when you know you are not going to be cranky. after your favorite television show just sit down and talk about whatever is going on in your financial life. if there's a big expense that has come up, with you know something else is coming down the pike, so get it out there, air it and be done with it. >> also you say know what pushes your buttons. >> so i am guilty of this. talking about money can make me a little cranky and a little crazy, it's no accident that i do what i do for a living. you have to know what is going to make you go off the deep end, so that your spouse and you can deal with it together.

>> and you say, know your -- i'm sorry, dream out loud. >> right. we talk about setting goals, financially, and how important that is. because only the people who actually have goals can achieve their goals because they know where they're going. it's just another word for dreaming. you've got to know what you want this year, in five years, in ten years. that's the fun part. talk about what you want together, and then just assign some numbers so you know how long it's going to take you to get there. >> and you say under no circumstances keep financial secrets. >> absolutely not. that's what causes marriages to crater. >> all right. jean chatzky, thanks so much. >> sure. >> and still ahead, looking good on your big day. we've got some wedding-day makeup tips. up next we're going to head uptown to the plaza hotel where the party's just about to get started. customer, you get to use any of our concierge claim centers. so i can just drop off my car and you'll take care of everything? yep, even the rental. what if i'm stuck at the office? if you can't come to us, we'll come to you in one of our immediate response vehicles!

menu. >> we do. what's really great is that we get to individualize every bride, make menus that they want for their wedding. and you can make these timeless, traditional foods that really incorporate local food. and having our own 60 acre farm really helps out. the farm supplies about 35% of all of our produce and really helps make beautiful, delicious food. >> so the heirloom tomatoes grown on that farm? >> how do you not take this tomato and want to put it on every single plate that you have? they really are fantastic. we consider ourselves tomatoaholics. we try to get it everywhere. >> and the pomona, that's an interesting drink, too. i was saying this is sort of a local drink but it's named after the statue and the fountain here on the plaza. >> that's right. the goddess of abundance. >> the god esz of abundance. >> and that's what we want to give nick and leigh today, plenty of abundance of love and happiness, and you're starting us off right here. >> that's right. >> thanks so much, chef

did not. i saw she and nick looking at each other and they just looked so into the moment with each other. i was so proud. because it could have been rather impersonal and it wasn't. it was just magical. >> and nick seems like such a special young man. how is it now to welcome him as your new son? >> oh, we are so thrilled to have nick as a part of the family. he's great. he's the perfect fit for leigh and we're just looking forward to embracing him and having him part of the family. >> all right, jan. we're going to be talking with you more later. i hope you're going to get out there on the dance floor with me a little bit later on. we're waiting for the couple to come up here from the plaza hotel. more from their reception in a few moments right after these messages. announcer: it gives the world fewer smog-forming emissions. it gives you a 50 mile per gallon rating. the 3rd generation prius. it's harmony between man, nature and machine.
