Deciding to commit your life to someone special is a wonderful time in any one’s life. Most women have been dreaming of that day for most of their life, the day that they will be married to the man they love. Though the time is magical, there is much preparation to be done for the big day. Many enjoy the decisions and the preparations, but some actually do not. So what happens if you met your soul mate, but have no interest in planning the big day? This is where …

Planning and experiencing your very own wedding is a whirlwind time. There is so much to plan, so many decisions to be made, so much fun to be had! Once everything is done and that special day is over, most newly married couples breathe a sigh of relief and relaxation. Their next step is to enjoy their new lives together, but there is one thing that still has to be done. I am referring to the wedding thank you card. If you are not familiar with what this is, it …

Engaged couples usually love to tell stories about how they met their significant other. Often times they are quite different and intriguing. Smart couples who can boast an interesting or unique “how I met” story, many times often incorporate it into their wedding theme. One of the most beautiful examples of this is with an Asian wedding theme. I have been lucky enough to be a guest at one of these beautiful and unique weddings. About four years ago, my best friend took a one month trip to China. She …

Not everyone enjoys the warmer weather. Many enjoy a cold brisk day. No one is right or wrong, everyone has their own preference. Though the majority of wedding days are held during the warmer months, there are those who have dreamt of marrying on a cold day in December or January. Though this may not be you, it would be hard not to admit the beauty of a winter wedding theme. My own baby brother was married four years in the middle of December. My mother and I were so …

Many would agree that one of the nicest times of the year to get married is during autumn. How could you not love the cooler weather, and of course the beautiful foliage too. It makes a beautiful backdrop for any special wedding day. Many couples who choose to get married during the autumn months also like to incorporate a fall wedding theme into their big day as well. I remember when I was married back in October almost eight years ago. The leaves on the trees were turning a beautiful …

There are many different types of weddings. Some short and simple, others produced as if they were a Broadway play. Neither is right, neither is wrong. When you make the decision to start planning your big day, the choice is up to you and you alone. It is fine to include certain aspects and to not include other aspects of the “typical” wedding. You should plan the most perfect and memorable day of your life. In fact, some things are not even as popular as they used to be and …

A wedding is usually a joyous time and a time of celebration. Two people have come together to commit the rest of their lives to each other. In some cases though, this can often be a sad time as well for the bride or the groom. In some occasions, a close relative or friend has passed on and not there to be able to participate in this wonderful time in their lives. When I was married eight years ago, sadly my mother had passed away from lung cancer two years …

I met my husband to be about 12 years ago and we were married shortly thereafter. Thankfully, we have been happily married for almost ten years now. Many times over those near ten years I have been asked what attracted me to my husband. It is still the same answer after all this time, his funny personality. My husband has been a jokester from the first day we met, even on our wedding day he didn’t let up on his carefree ways. Because this is the first thing that attracted …

Every since I was eight, I dreamed of what my wedding would be like — what I would wear, where it would be, what the food would be like (at eight, it was pizza and hamburgers!), and what I would give away as a wedding favor.  Almost twenty five years later, I got the opportunity to plan my actual big day.  To my surprise, you will never guess what the hardest thing to choose was….the wedding favor!  We (me and my fiance) literally looked at a hundred different options.  From …

Planning a wedding can often be an extremely expensive undertaking. Though many couples want the picture perfect wedding day, they would like to cut costs if at all possible. Because of the sheer amount of things that have to be planned and paid for, to cut costs in any area can be quite difficult without sacrificing the tone of the wedding itself. One way that you may want to consider cutting costs is if you decide to make homemade wedding favors instead of store bought. If you are having even …
