Weddings Are About Family
A wedding is an expression of love that you invite friends and family to witness. It then becomes a declaration of love or a vow that you will love, honor and cherish each other for the rest of your lives. Wedding planning is also an expression of love, not just to your future spouse but also to the loved ones that you have invited as your guests to share in the joy of this moment.
Every decision from the wedding favors to the location is a way for you to express yourself with the uniqueness and creativity that says I love you and I want to share this with you. Unique wedding favors are just the beginning of a total planning package that will launch you into the future with all your friends and family there to support you and your new bride or husband.
This celebration of love will include the coming together of two separate families in a way that is special. You are the common bond that will bind this new and extended family together through love and respect for the difference that each brings to this new marriage. The way you bring these families together will speak volumes to both sides as you build the memories that they will carry into this new relationship.
The wedding planning process that is based in love and respect is much more fun and productive than entering into the process with stress and worry. If you can approach planning your wedding knowing that the final outcome will be cherished by everyone no matter if there are imperfections because it was a labor of love and no labor of love, no matter how flawed, is ever turned away or unaccepted. Both families will return that love by supporting you and standing by you in all of your endeavors.
Family is one of the most important things in this life and this is made even more special when two families come together through two people who love and respect each other. Get both families involved in the wedding planning process and you will create yet another avenue for these two families to come together. There is more than likely a lot of talent on both sides of the family and if there is one thing that family loves to do, it is step in and help out another family member in need. That is, after all, what families are for and what they are.
What could be more exciting than welcoming your husbands or wife’s family to your wedding celebration and into your heart. To be surrounded by people that you love during what should be one of the happiest and most important moments of your life is a very special feeling. This is why your wedding should be planned with all the love that you can muster. Families will understand that most weddings are made with a budget and that is why they cherish even the smallest of gestures.
With this in mind, make sure that you have plenty of time to plan a great wedding and go into it knowing that it is not just your special day but a day to be shared with family and to be remembered with love by all. Let them know how much it has meant to you and how much it continues to mean that they stand by you and experience the joy that this special day brings.

It Is Never Too Late To Say I Do Again
I know a couple that has been married for fifty years. When they first tied the knot, they must have tied it well and double knotted it because they are more in love now than they ever were. I just had to ask what their secret is since I have been married twice myself and I’m hoping this one will last forever. What I learned is actually no secret at all. In fact, it is common knowledge that most of us tend to forget or take for granted from time to time.
John and Mary were poor when they married back in the fifties. He worked his heart out in the automobile industry and she waited tables deep into the night shift. They saved their money diligently and started a family. They encountered many difficulties over the years but the one thing they held true to was their love for each other. John told me that the secret to his marital longevity was simple. Whenever he tried to imagine what his life would be like if his Mary were suddenly gone it would scare him so bad that he knew he could not bear it. Mary told me just about the same thing. She looks at their friends who are married and thanks God every day that her John is not like the other husbands who stay out late at night and put their marriages second.
John and Mary are two of a kind yet they are as different as night and day. He would say the she is his polar south and he is a magnet. They push each other away so they have to work to stay together and that always made things interesting. It is usually at this point Mary would swat him with a rolled up magazine and tell him to stop kidding around.
John and Mary recently renewed their wedding vows and had the kind of wedding Mary always wanted but could never afford. After fifty-three years of marriage, they had a unique plan in mind and threw down on a wedding that no one who attended will ever forget. With their usual charm and wit, they made their wedding something special. Even their wedding party favors were unique. My favorite bridal party favor is a rope tying two coffee mugs together, one with a picture of John and the other of Mary. The writing on the rope says the family that shakes together stays together. They do love their coffee.
The point is that it is never too late to have the wedding of which you have always dreamed. A renewal of your wedding vows is an affirmation that you are still in love with each other and life could not change that. Mary would tell you that having a child together is also a very strong bonding point and that they were truly blessed to be able to have such healthy and hale children.
No matter how old you are or how long you have been together, you can renew your vows and make a re-affirmation of your love for each other. Doing it right the second time can be just as fun and possibly more romantic that the first. You will certainly have more time to plan and design an unforgettable experience that you can share with friends and family. It is also a wonderful goal for which to save money. You have proven your love and now you can reap the rewards of having a wonderful wedding and reception, the one you wanted when you first started out together but may not have been able to afford.

Symbolism of Wedding Shower Favors in Movies
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.
With Mrs. Tea Pot and Sebastian’s personalities alone, one would normally conclude that surely no stone was left unturned when it came to the timing and planning of the weddings. With movie characters so full of life and energy how could they possibly leave out a bridal shower for their key princesses? I suppose this is not something that children see, or rather don’t see in these films. This is because as we grow older we tend to pay closer attention to the truths in film. I can honestly not think of one single children’s film that has a wedding in it, that actually shows a bridal shower or even mentions one.
Surely if the old philosophy “life imitates art” is true then they should defiantly include something as simple as a bridal shower. I personally can not imagine how something as simple and yet monumental as a bridal shower, was completely left out by the greatest movie makers in all of history. As a child however, I simply did not pay attention to the detail, which is the reason why this little fact did not bother me back then. It is not so much that it bothers me or irritates me now in my adult years, but rather it irritates me by the fact that a company so akin to detail, overlooks and disregards an important one when it comes to fairy tale weddings.
It is not just the bridal showers which they missed. How many films from your childhood that had weddings in them also had bachelor parties in them? I’ll tell you how many, absolutely none! The closest any of us as children ever got to see to bridal or bachelor parties, was in the old Popeye cartoons. Yup that’s right, do you remember Olive being showered with gifts in the episode where Popeye proposed to her? Or how about in that same episode Popeye goes to a boxing match with his friends. These are not actually bachelor or bridal parties and showers; however they are as close as we ever got to seeing them as children.
If you could create your own cartoon with weddings with both bridal showers and bachelor parties in them, how would you go about doing it? Would you make these parties as fairytale like and majestic as the weddings themselves, or would you hint about them and not actually portray them like the Popeye cartoon did? I suppose it is true that some things are to be left to the imagination, especially when it comes to these pre wedding celebrations in childhood films.

Choosing A Best Man Can Be Difficult
Planning a wedding can be difficult enough without worrying about competition for the best man’s position. Sometimes, however, you are confronted with a situation in which you have more than one candidate and more than one person expecting to be chosen. Now you are not only worried about caterers and flowers or whether to choose regular wedding favors or unique wedding favors, wedding hall, ark, and a hundred other decisions that have to be made and there is no easy solution.
Scenario: You are in love and you are ready to make the big move. You have popped the question and she says yes. You were the best man at your only brother’s wedding and your best friends wedding and you know that they are both expecting you to ask. What do you do in this delicate and potentially sad situation?
Your best friend is a good person who has had your back in more than one dangerous situation. He has pulled your fanny from the fire a few times and he is like a brother to you. You can count on him in a pinch and he can do the same with you. When you manned the post at his wedding he let you know that he is there for you when you get married. Hey, you have to ask him, right?
You and your brother grew up in some hard times and you kept each other safe. He made sacrifices that helped you out and you would literally die for the man if it came down to it. You know for a fact that he chose you as a best man over his long time best friend and expects you to reciprocate. It has got to be him, right?
This dilemma pops up at almost every other wedding and there is no easy way to figure it out. You will have your mom and probably you fianc telling you that you have to go with family and in a way, they are right. Blood is not only thicker than water; it is louder too. You may never hear the end of a poor decision here so either man up and make the choice or let mommy do it for you. There are not many options here. Of course, if you do not mind having your mother pull this out of a hat every time she sees you, take the twins out of her purse, and choose your best friend like you had a pair. Your brother lives a thousand miles away and your best friend lives down the street. A third option and probably the safest is to let them decide.
Solution: Invite your friend and your brother over for a drink. Just the three of you sit down, pop open some suds, and explain the situation to them. Let them know that you do not want to hurt either one of them and you need help deciding. Now one of three things is about to happen. Either they will laugh at you for foolish worry and pull high card for it, get totally ticked off and tell you to pull your manhood out of your mommy’s purse and pick someone, or they will both refuse and you’ll have to find someone else. More than likely, they will see the very tough time you are having and after a little ribbing, one of them will take the job and you will be in the clear. Just remember one thing. If at the end of the day you still cannot decide, blood is thicker than water.
