  by Sydney Barbara Metrick of Chicken Soup Counseling

  Getting married and being married require totally different skill sets. Yes, skills are involved in both. Planning a wedding is like planning any other party…times ten. In addition to setting a date, finding a location, deciding what to do about the ceremony and officiant, food, drink, cake, music, clothing, invitations, decorations and transportation, photography, and maybe a few other things, you have to prepare yourself.

• Liquid Assets in Little Boxes: A Proposal Story

  by Deenah Byramjee of Tango Magazine

  When I moved to New York City to start work at an investment bank, I wouldn't have considered myself totally green. I had the Manolo Blahnik biography of shoes on my coffee table and the Christian Louboutin inventory at Bergdorf's pretty much committed to memory. Something that was totally new to my hemisphere of style was that zoo of a city block on 47th Street between 5th and 6th Avenue, the Diamond District. At first I was attracted to sheer size, and as my new city life made me more jaded I learned the four C's, and eventually I began to lust after large diamond engagement rings.

• mywedding Ceremony: Ideas for a Multicultural Affair

  Photography by April Greer - see more at www.aprilgreer.com

  Many of today's couples are likely to come from different cultures, represent different races, and may even speak different native languages. No matter what path two people take to find each other, a good match is a good match. And as the saying goes, “Love knows no boundaries.” Cultural differences can make for a unique, meaningful ceremony. A wedding can include words or practices from any cultural tradition and can be blended in a way that works for both parties.

  Eco-friendly favors need not mean flower seeds, granola, or even hemp fabric. On the contrary, there are a multitude of chic gift options that are also good for the Earth. All you have to do is think outside of the usual gift box, and you might just find something affordable, reusable, and definitely favorable.

• mywedding Ceremony: Ideas for Blending A Family

  by Sydney Barbara Metrick of Chicken Soup Counseling

  Not all marriages are "the first." Designing a ceremony for a second or even third wedding may be a challenge if the bride and groom have children. Some couples like to have the new "parent" welcome the other's child into the family. You can incorporate this into the ceremony to represent the joining of families. The new parent can say a few words to the child or children, make vow-like promises, and give a token as a seal of the promises. A necklace with an inscribed charm is one idea for a gift. Since many couples include candle lighting in their ceremony, having an extra candle for each child is another way to include children. If the child is old enough, have them participate by lighting their own candle. Sharing food like braided bread or something that symbolically reflects the idea of family is another way to celebrate the creation of a new family through the union of marriage. A wedding not only joins the bride and groom, but also joins their respective families and creates community. In future posts, we'll look at how a ceremony can be designed to include the unique needs of the couple in order to create a personalized wedding event. After all, your wedding is about who you are and who you are becoming in the world and should reflect just that.

  I'm sure by now you've heard about the benefits of exercise. I guess that's kind of like asking if you've heard about the health risks of smoking. Anyway, exercise has a TON of health benefits including stress reduction! So when you're fretting over the seating chart and wondering who'll get stuck sitting next to Uncle Joe, well, I suggest you drop what you're doing and get your bridal butt moving!
