"Wedding Day Revision"

For those of you who are married. I am sure when you think back on your wedding day, there are some things you would have done differently. I know when I think back on mine there are several things I would have done different. I am not trying to take anything away from my wedding day but of course with time things change. The number one thing I would change is the number of bridesmaids I had. I am guessing I would have had 5 instead of 9. I have no clue how I would have done it because the people I had in my wedding played a part in my life some time or another and are very special to me. I would have begged and pleaded with my husband to change the guys’ suits to white. I would have taken my wedding pictures somewhere else instead of just the church and had some nontraditional pictures taken also. I would have had more candid pictures also. I would have made sure my husband and I both went over the selection of the music for the reception. Oh and I would have forgotten to mail Aunt Evelyn’s invitation. I am just kidding. I love you auntie. I am interested in hearing somethings you would have changed and if possible send a picture.

Candy Stations

Candy stations are a new trend at wedding receptions, bridal showers, and anniversary parties. You can take it further and go back into your childhood and use your favorite cereals, candies, cookies, or any other sweets you or your guest enjoyed. Imagine a cereal bar with a variety or your favorite cereals. I am thinking of a few I enjoyed as a child: Froot Loops, Apple Jacks, Lucky Charms, Frankenberry, Frosted Flakes and Rice Krispies. Can you imagine. How about candies you enjoyed as a child like: Now & Laters, Boston Baked Beans, Lemon Heads, Laffy Taffy, Kits, Toosie Rolls, Vanilla Caramels. The sky is the limit. Be creative and have fun with it.

Adesso Albums

Add a little glamour to your wedding by having Adesso Albums. You have to have a guest book anyway, so why not have pictures with a personalized message from your guests? You can have both photos and a guest book as a keepsake. Its also something fun for your guests. As your guest arrive their greeted by your host, instructed to sign the guest book/adesso and take a picture. http://www.adessoalbums.com/abc.html

The Engagement

Congratulations! The love of your life has finally popped the big question and now you are not sure what to do. Today, a couple's decision to marry will be made together. Even though a man no longer needs to ask the father's permission to marry, he should have the courtesy to discuss the planned marriage with the family of the bride-to-be. The couple should then discuss their future plans together. The goom should discuss any potential problems he may face such as health concerns or obligations from a previous marriage. Whatever you do, make sure you inform your parents of the decision before spreading the news. Although there is no specific rule about how long a couple should be engaged, an ideal period is usually at least six months.
