March 6, 2010 Wedding Tip

Sat, 06 Mar 2010 15:17:51 EST

Why "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue"? The "old" was usually a personal gift from mother to daughter, a symbolic piece of wisdom for married life. "Something new" symbolized the new family formed by the couple. "Borrowing" is especially important, since it is to come from a happily married woman, thereby lending the bride some of her own marital bliss to carry into the new union. Blue has two traditions: Pagan Roman maidens wore blue on the borders of their robes to denote love, modesty and fidelity, while Christians associate it with the purity of the Virgin Mary.

March 5, 2010 Wedding Tip

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 10:52:44 EST

In theory, if you can get through the stress of planning a wedding together, you should be able to get through anything, right? Well, here is some time-tested wisdom to help couples get through the rough patches:

Try not to be angry at the same time;

Never go to bed angry or without having settled an argument;

Remember to treat each other with respect – too often we treat total strangers better than we treat our loved ones so try not to take each other for granted;

If you do have to say something critical, try to do it in a gentle manner – point out a positive before you point out the negative;

Let the past go – once you have forgiven past mistakes you must mean it! (And admit when you do something wrong)

Choose your battles – sometimes you come out ahead by letting your spouse win an argument (remember it takes two to make an argument – sometimes it’s better if you just back out);

Try to say something nice to each other every day;

Sometimes you have to put the whole world on hold and remember to spend time together – staying connected is so important and so easily lost in the chaos of everyday life!

February 27, 2010 Wedding Tip

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 12:30:20 EST

Here is a good timeline for the important stuff: Twelve months before your wedding should be when you announce your engagement, go over budget, start looking at reception sites, and come up with a preliminary guest list. Nine months before you should select your bridal party members, do your gift registry, start shopping for your gown and the bridesmaids' dresses, and choose your photographer, florist and DJ. Six months before you should order invitations, shop for rings, select tuxedos, arrange for hotel rooms for out-of-town guests, and arrange rehearsal dinner. Four months before you should make honeymoon arrangements, get blood tests and physical (if your state requires this), shop for bridal party gifts, order cake (if not included at reception site), confirm order with florist. Six to Eight weeks before you should mail invitations, do a hair and makeup "run through", schedule final dress fittings, set up a system for guest responses and start figuring table seating. Two to four weeks before you should choose all accessories you will be wearing, do seating arrangements for reception, confirm details with caterer, florist, etc., give caterer a final head count, make appointments for message, hair, etc., send engagement photo and announcement to newspaper, prepare lists for bridesmaids, ushers and anyone who will be a part of the ceremony. One week before you should host a bridesmaid luncheon, prepare envelopes with fees and gratuities for clergy, maitre d', DJ, etc., arrange time to drop of favors, etc. to reception site, pack for honeymoon, have manicures, messages, etc. during this week. The day before you should greet and settle any out-of-town guests, arrange for someone trustworthy to take care of license, rings and tip envelopes, arrange beauty touch-ups And don't forget to relax and get some sleep.

February 24, 2010 Wedding Tip

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 13:31:18 EST

Marriage License: Your marriage license is valid for 30 days and cannot be issued until 72 hours after application has been submitted. The license should be issued in the town that the ceremony will take place. Both Bride and Groom need to be present, along with one witness when filing the application and they will need to have birth certificates and another form of identification. If either was previously married, then that person needs to submit proof of the divorce decree. Some states do not require blood tests any more (NJ is one of those states). The officiator is the person who files the license in the town where the ceremony took place within five days of the ceremony.
