Amongst the extravagantly wrapped packages of ivory and white are the equally as thoughtful card and monetary wedding presents in the presentation of a greeting card. Without a doubt, these too are just as valuable to you as the roasting rack you registered for through Wishpot. But how can you make sure that guests don’t just leave them on the gift table to be covered up by a larger gift. Or that they don’t get stuffed into another gift bag; later to be thrown away?

Whether or not to invite children to your wedding can be a dilemma of unforeseen magnitude. Everyone, it seems, has an opinion and is not afraid to voice it. Loudly. Including kids in your celebration can provide relief for their parents, who would otherwise have to deal with childcare (this is especially difficult if traveling for the event). However, as a parent myself, I can say that sometimes I secretly like not having the option to bring my kids to an event. It forces me to enjoy some adults-only time, rather than spend the evening constantly reminding people that we do not throw our partially chewed food at the bride (that’s just not polite). The most important thing to keep in mind when you choose whether or not to invite kids to your wedding, as with all aspects of your day, is that the two of you must make your decision regardless of outside pressure.

Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, the weather is as fickle as the proverbial finger of fate. After several glorious sunny, hot days the forecast called for the return of the fog that cools San Francisco and the cities around the Bay. I left my house in the East Bay, dressed in my summer officiant attire (a sleeveless silky dress) and headed across the bridge to Golden Gate Park. There I am, sitting in freeway traffic wondering if I'll make it on time. I gaze across the Bay and see an enormous fog bank rolling in over the city. By the time I reach the site, the temperature has dropped at least twenty degrees. I'm greeted by the happy groom in his three-piece suit, while the lovely bride looks like she just emerged from a walk in freezer.

As any bride or grooms knows, marriage isn’t just about a union between two people. It’s also a union between two families. And even under the best of circumstances, there can be some difficulties with the merger. For example: the mother of groom thinks that the wedding should be held at her house by the lake and the mother of the bride thinks that’s maybe the stupidest idea she’s ever heard.

Think of your wedding ceremony as a performance. Your friends and family (otherwise known as "the audience") take their places, the musicians begin to play and, if everything goes well, all those involved in the processional walk smoothly down the aisle to the altar. The music stops and the ceremony begins.

After the knot is tied, when the toasts are over and the dust has settled back on the dance floor, many newlyweds feel like they blinked and missed the party.

You finally find the perfect site for your ceremony, and it's available on the day you've selected. As the two of you look around excited by the possibilities, you can just picture the ceremony. The chairs will go in the green meadow, the altar will be on the foot bridge that crosses the stream, all the flowers will be in bloom and the sun will be shining. Your wedding will look just like the magazine photo you have tacked to your wall.
