Sunrise or Sunset for a Romantic Wedding

Friday, March 12th, 2010

The average time of day for most weddings is one o’clock in the afternoon. There is nothing wrong with getting married at one o’clock in the afternoon, if you are an average kind of couple. However, if you are not average, you may want to consider saying your nuptials at a more romantic time of day. Another very popular time to sanctify your faith in one another is at sunset. Pulling in a close third is a fresh and renewing sunrise. To start the day rejoicing in the one you love is always a great idea.

Sunsets are wondrous affairs when shared with the one you love. As you look forward to a lifetime of sunsets together, why not kick your marriage off right and begin with a romantic sunset wedding. This can be particularly gratifying if you are on a beach, by a lake, or even in the mountains.

Take Extra Photos At Your Wedding

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Having a family member take photos as well as a professional photographer can be flirting with disaster. However, it can also be a blessing in disguise as it will not only keep the pros on their toes but you never know where that one great shot is going to come from. The trick is to make sure to have a reliable and responsible member of your family taking the extra photos and to have a candid conversation of what you expect from their behavior. Most families have a natural or someone who just seems to take great pictures.

Make sure your amateur family member photographer has plenty of film and a firm understanding that they are not to compete with or get in the way of the professionals for which you paid top dollar. Ask them to be as discreet as possible and let everyone know that they can cooperate with your Jr. P man so that it is easier for them to get that lucky shot.

Symbolism of Wedding Shower Favors in Movies

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Do you remember as a small child, watching The Little Mermaid or even Beauty and the Beast? As enchanting as these childhood movies were and still are, they had some familiarities. Everyone knows that the Little Mermaid finds love, and of all places it is not under the sea, just like the main character in Beauty and the Beast.

Both of the main characters in these movies meet their very own personal prince charming. Now you know how the plots play out, they fall into forbidden love of sorts, and get married. Now since there are weddings in these two films, how come we never see any bridal shower favors or wedding shower favors? Were these two strikingly and breathtakingly beautiful princesses deprived of a bridal shower? It seems as though old Walt Disney over looked a couple of things while putting these films together.

Golden Anniversaries and Wedding Guest Favors

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

As time seems to slip thought your fingers, you can not help but wonder where all these years have gone. It seems like just yesterday you were fast asleep in your bed, and your biggest worry was whether of not the boogie man really was in your closet. Those were the days weren’t they?

The days of infamous youth and oodles of energy seem to be a distant memory. Alas, at least your memories are still up to par, although at times it makes you wonder if indeed it is actually memories rather then your imagination. You can still see her, your blushing bride. It doesn’t seem like this is your golden years, your fiftieth wedding anniversary. You can still remember your first walk down the isle, and even what wedding guest favors were handed out at your reception to go along with your wedding party favors. It is amazing how all of these years have come to pass, and yet your feelings are still as strong as they were the day you first met her.

A Wedding Moment In Time

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Dedicated to my brother and his wife, who are no longer with us now.

There is a long moment in time as a you, the groom, waits at the alter. This moment seems to be suspended in time. It floats there before him, making him dizzy with anticipation. He is so much in love and on this day, the day they will promise to be together forever, he has only caught glimpses of her. Then suddenly, the moment is broken as she appears at the back of the chapel, holding her proud and beaming father’s arm. She begins to glide over the flower petals toward him and he catches his breathe, he has to because the angelic way she appears in her wedding dress has taken his breathe away.

Your near future Father-in-law gives you a last look that says you had better not hurt his daughter but you do not notice, because you are still enraptured by her beauty, her confidence, her elegant radiance. Suddenly, those decisions that seemed so important just a few weeks before, like whether to get wedding favors or unique wedding favors, are meaningless. They are so far away from you now, like a distant memory, wisping away in a breeze, that you barely remember them.

What To Expect From Wine?

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Does ordering wine frighten or confuse you? It may when you do not really order or drink wine beverages often and that is ok, there is a lot of mystery and also sometimes snobbery connected with wine.

Nevertheless, wine makes the ideal complement for many dishes and there are times when you might want to select a wine beverage in order to serve in the home or order in a restaurant. To learn about wines, taste them and find out what you prefer and what you don’t like in wines.

So why White Or Red?

Wine beverages differ in flavor and tannin content (pucker) as well as how the wines strike the taste buds. The white with pike or perhaps red with meats is often a rule about pairing wines with meals that you might often hear.

It’s a general rule based on the concept that red wine drinks often convey more flavor and white wines are typically lighter and the concept is that red wine beverages won’t be overpowered by the steak and white wine beverages tend to be delicate so go well with more subtly flavored dishes such as seafood. On the other hand, rules are made to be broken. Match meals and wines according to your likes instead.

A Beautiful Spring Wedding

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Ask any girl and she will most likely tell you that she would love to get married in spring. There is certainly some magic and romance about the way in which nature comes to life with a showcase of lovely flowers at this time of year. The delightful spray of color put forth by the beautiful spring blooms does help one to forget about the winter blues and look forward to a new beginning in all our lives.

It is no wonder then that spring is a popular time to tie the knot. To really make the best of a garden wedding, you could start planning in advance by planting bulbs, shrubs and perennials that will match the theme colour of your bridesmaids’ outfits and wedding bouquets. For instance, pink azaleas would complement most pink shades of bridesmaids’ dresses. Purple blooms would also create a great contrast to the white gown and the pastel colours of the bridal entourage.

Anniversary Gifts for Her - 4 Excellent Gift Ideas

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

Oh no! It’s your wedding anniversary again, and you don’t have anything for your wife! Don’t worry this guide to anniversary gifts for her is here to help.

A lovely poem written by you enclosed in a bottle makes for a personal gift. Some other personalized gift ideas include a locket with your picture inside, and an engraved fountain pen. A personalized present will make your wife happy and appreciative.

Especially if you don’t go out often, your wife will appreciate being taken out. Do things you don’t normally do. Go to a restaurant that is fancier than you normally go to and check out an evening show. You could even go ice-skating, to the ballet or to a musical. Make sure that it is an evening to remember - so you might want to bring your camera!

A day off from housework. This idea was submitted to me, I am not sure I entirely agree with it (husbands, you should be helping around the house anyway!). But it is good if you are on a budget and don’t regularly help out with the housework. An overworked and underpaid housewife will appreciate this break from the chores.
