      <description><![CDATA[
As I pointed out previously, a wedding is a 'rite of passage.'  Your ceremony and celebration make a statement to your community of friends and family that you now have a different identity.  You invite friends and family to witness and celebrate this transition with you.  Whether your guests include neighbors, co-workers, people from your past, distant relatives or those closest to your heart, you think of these people as your community.  You've identified them as the most important people to be present for one of the most important passages in your life.

Last week we began the journey into the realm of Mother-in-laws and how to build a real relationship with them.  Our first mistake was forgetting to call them regularly and we covered how to mend this and improve our calling habits.  Remember that these tips, though seemingly small and simple, will help to improve your standing with your MIL as well as begin a friendship between the two of you.

Congratulations!  Now before you cue the band to play ‘Second Time Around’(it’s a great first song for non-first-time couples), you’ve got some planning to do!  Here are a few tips to help your return to the altar be as special and beautiful as possible.

The dreaded mother-in-law stigma is all too common but there are a few simple things you can avoid that will save you from repeat mother/daughter zingers that we all experience from time to time (some of us more than others!).  Although these exercises started off as a tongue-in-cheek coping mechanism, once I began putting a few of these strategies into practice, I noticed that my mother-in-law’s attitude started to shift (as did my own) and a true friendship began to form.

While your wedding day is undoubtedly one of the most magical and beautiful days of your life, marriage is also known for being complicated and stressful.  But if the everyday “which way the toilet paper goes” and “don’t squeeze the toothpaste from the middle” issues weren’t enough, throw in America’s legal system concerning marriage and suddenly ordering those flowers, booking your entertainment, and making that guest list seems incredibly simple in comparison.  Below is a list of the ten strangest marriage laws in the country.

Let’s face it.  Girls love to shop.  Being able get the lowest price in the shopping department is a skill many women pride themselves in.  However, when it comes to your wedding you may want to step back and consider a slightly different approach. While everyone would rather get something for nothing, when considering vendors for your event you also want to keep in mind that you are investing into a very important day of your life; quite possibly the most important day of your life.

Beautiful flowers, elegant music, heartfelt vows, the gathering of friends and family to witness the joining of two people. Are you thinking of a wedding? Although it does describe the elements often part of a wedding ceremony, we are in fact describing a “recommitment ceremony.” Commonly misunderstood as an anniversary celebration, a recommitment ceremony is much more meaningful and unique.

Take it from someone who attends weddings on a weekly basis, your DJ may try to play “YMCA” and other severely outdated moldy oldies! If you have had enough of songs like “Brick House,” “We Are Family,” and “Love Shack” than I suggest a detailed music consultation with the Disc Jockey you are considering to oversee your event. This will save you a lot of grief when you hit the dance floor.

I’ve had a number of couples contact me to perform their wedding ceremony who have already, in fact, tied the knot.  In recent years, marrying before the originally planned ceremony date is not at all uncommon.  Reasons range from insurance purposes to immigration issues or maybe it was simply a spur of the moment decision.  Whatever the case, invariably these couples wanted the fact that they were already married to remain a secret.

When I get an inquiry for my services from the groom-to-be, I am always impressed.  Overall, grooms tend to be less active in the wedding planning process. Let's face it, the wedding industry is largely catered towards brides.  However, men can and should contribute more…and we’re not talking about money.  There’s plenty of work and fun to go around.

There was a time when getting married was no more than a financial or familial arrangement.  This style of marriage arrangement is still practiced today in many countries around the world.  The courting gentlemen would present the woman’s father with money and/or dowry to prove his ability to care for her welfare.  A bargain would be made without the bride’s consent, a business deal of the heart....]]></description>
