Funny Wedding Vows

June 4, 2009

Welcome back!

Isn’t it silly to think a marriage contract must be serious all the time, allowing for a breather only during the wedding reception. Do people really frown on funny wedding vows? If the marrying couple are always serious and want to break up their own lives with a bit of humor, whose to say that it is wrong. That is not a question open for answers, it is a statement, like; whose life is it anyway. You don’t really want an answer, you are stating a frustrating question out loud. No answer required.

Of course, saying vows is important as you must abide them for the rest of your married life. But, isn’t the act itself serious enough? That can be answered. If you want to break a serious situation up with laughter, wouldn’t that set the tone for the rest of that glorious day? If you and your fiancé want to do something different, because you want different results than the standard marriage, try making each other laugh. You both must agree that it is acceptable to say your funny wedding vows, that way no one is surprised.

It’s not a comedy show, but since everyone is sitting there anyway, some may even be sleeping, so liven up that beautiful day by showing your guest that it is okay to smile, and even chuckle. It doesn’t have to be the end of the world if your parents don’t think it’s proper. They had their turn. Besides, those funny wedding vows can go a long way during that stressful time. Practice in the mirror or with your partner. Make your day, your day. No one else can live it for you or can be blamed if it isn’t exactly what you wanted. Even if everyone protest because they don’t think you are being responsible, you are committing the rest of your life to someone, isn’t that enough?

Take in mind, I am not talking about the reception toast. That is a personal blessing from your best friends. They usually are funny and everyone laughs. What if you think you and your fiancé are being cute and funny and no one laughs? Would that end your world, make your commitment less sincere, or mean that your marriage is doomed to fail? Of course not, it means you have a bunch of old fashioned folks in your audience, and if the standard vows were good enough for them, their grandparents, and their grandparents’ grandparents, it should be good enough for you.

Whoever you are, remain true to yourself and your relationship. If you want to laugh instead of faint from stress, make up something cute and sweet to say to your future spouse. I’m sure it will be a welcome relief. If not, maybe you need more time to figure out who you both are, step back, find a safe ground to stand on. The stress of getting married can ruin any good wedding, and most brides are so stressed out, they don’t even remember the day. Give yourself and your honey something good to remember. Say your funny wedding vows and have a great day!

Wedding Acceptance

May 31, 2009

What happened to the ‘American Dream’ of brides, grooms, bridesmaids, groomsmen and all of that partying? If you ask someone walking down the street, they’ll each have something different to say about weddings. We won’t even go into marriages. That’s not our main focus here. No, what we are talking about is Wedding Acceptance.

It doesn’t matter what your beliefs are concerning weddings. What is important is your being invited to share something that is important, to someone else. That means, you must put your thoughts aside, whether they are positive ones or not, and find a reason to celebrate someone else’s happiness. Just the thought of watching people in love can turn the stomachs of those unfortunate souls who have not had success with either a good wedding or a good marriage following the wedding. So, what is that poor unfortunate soul to do?

First, decide what is more important. Will it be the essence of the invitation, or your own personal experiences? If you are the kind of person to accept an invitation, go to the wedding, and spend the day being a negative force, either passively or aggressively; you should have declined. Make up an excuse, or something nice, but do not go. There is nothing worse for a bride and groom to look into the crowd and see someone who looks like they’ve smelled something bad, all evening long. Are you guilty of this? What do you get by putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation like that, just to save face?

Of course, the invitations are sent out long before the actual date, so if your first instinct is not to go, then by all means, kindly RSVP back and tell the happy couple you will not be attending. Wedding Acceptance is more than a couple bragging about their good fortune. There are many factors that must be addressed, and the invitation is the way of figuring out cost. The day will continue with or without you, so why not tell them to move to the next person on the list.

I guess it’s difficult for a divorcee to attend a ceremony so filled with happiness and hope it can make you cry, when your marriage itself ended disastrously. Best not to go. No one would hate you, besides, you can always look at the photos, or videos later and the pretending won’t be as long.

There is such a thing called Wedding Acceptance etiquette, whether it is discussed or not. Perhaps, it should be discussed more with the public. Another must know, is for the bridal party to RSVP as well. If you think that just by being at the wedding is enough, you are so terribly wrong. What if you were to bring a guest and you hadn’t told the caterer yourself, how would they know? Should they assume an extra guest for each member for the party? What if that person doesn’t bring anyone, but the caterer assumed you would, and charged the bride and groom for that extra plate? The cost can be outrageous when planning a wedding, and even though the parents of the happy couple don’t mind paying, it stands to reason; they don’t want to pay for absentee attendees.

If you receive an invitation and you don’t want to go, please be considerate. There is protocol to Wedding Acceptance. Someone will form a negative opinion about you if you don’t RSVP Do the right thing folks.

Wedding Hairstyles For Short Hair

May 28, 2009

Would someone please show me the rule where it says you must have long, flowing hair when you get married. There are so many wedding hairstyles for short hair, it’s hard to select just one. And, with all the veils and hair accessories to choose from, a good hairstylist should be able to have the blushing bride looking like a goddess, on her special day.

After all ladies, there was a reason you chose to have your hair short. So why go through all of the hassle to create something that isn’t who you are for the most important day of your life. Other than birthing babies. There is that same philosophy. There is a lot of pain until the actual moment when you say, ‘I do’. And then the work begins. Just like having a baby. Only, on your wedding day, you are the focus and you get to dress up, and be the ‘Princess of the Day!’

What a moment! So if you do decide to sport short hair for your wedding day, try slicking it back and decorating your head with a diamond studded headband. Your wedding hairstyle for short hair may last throughout the evening or you may have to keep checking it. Or, just add some colorful barrettes. It is your day, so if you want the little girl in you to shine, let her out. After all, it was her idea.

If you are brave enough to add extension, or weaves, please make sure they are secured. There is a lot of hugging going on at weddings, and a loose extension or weave can end that special day, quickly. If you are feeling adventurous, wear a wig. Some women would have a fit if their daughter wore a wig to her wedding, but with the chic styles these days, no one would really notice. Especially if you decide on a headpiece that compliments it. Just remember, a wig should not look like a wig, so if you do choose that route, with either half, full or partial wig, a ponytail, or extensions. Just remember, it’s not what you wear, it’s how you wear it.

So ladies, do your research and find the right wedding hairstyles for short hair on your wedding day that matches your dress. Your wedding day goes down in the history books, and there are pictures. If you want to say something with your look that doesn’t make you look like you are going to work or out for cocktails, be bold and try something different for yourself. It’s only for one night. Besides, I think your groom would see how very special he is to you, because you went out and turned yourself in the most beautiful woman in the room. Your face is your face and that will never change, but our hair? We change our hair more than we change our clothes sometimes, don’t we?

Short hair or long hair, it doesn’t make a difference, as long as you radiate and celebrate in style. Enjoy your short hairstyle on your wedding day. It is a special day after all, and besides, your hair will be different tomorrow anyway.

Choosing your Wedding Dance

August 24, 2008

One of the greatest things about your wedding is that it is your celebration. You are consequently the king or queen of the occasion so you get the crown and the first dance. It is the moment in time to get down.

By tradition, you will be doing the two-step. On the whole that means pick and choose a song that you can move back and forth to and take two steps to as you position yourself on the floor. This can be actually sweet but if truth were told… you can do that at some old time.

If you have the slightest capability to dance and you are eager to have a bit of enjoyable time, find out how to dance one very exclusive number. Take into service a choreographer if you require one. Show off your skill to move to the music.

If you have only done modern dances, you will come across that ballroom dances are beyond doubt a combination of the skills of two people. You need to work with your partner’s strong points and grab hold of the tempo as one. It may perhaps take a lot of rehearsals so that you move about and seem to be stunning together. After all, dancing should be striking to look at as well as to perform.

Out of most ballroom dances, it is the waltz, which is preferred most at weddings. The waltz is enjoyable and simple to become skilled at. You will also find it easy to dance the waltz in a wedding dress. Traditional music selections include the Skater’s Waltz or the Blue Danube Waltz.

If you desire to use more contemporary music, variations have been made of fairly a number of songs as well, which may consist of your most wanted love song. The Way You Look Tonight and Moon River are just two of the songs used as options.

The Foxtrot is one more well-appreciated dance for weddings. Couples can sway fast to the melody of Cheek to Cheek or more slowly to Someone to Watch Over Me. The foxtrot is a much more energetic dance compared to the waltz but it retains the same romantic and dreamy feel.

Of course if you in reality dance nicely with each other, do not be timid about it. Why not go for the performance of a tango and warm up the floor. Make it totally sizzling!

Whatever dance you opt for, just have fun and enjoy yourself. Let yourselves be Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire and enjoy your dance to the hilt. Practice a lot and do not overlook to keep the dresses in mind. Get the celebration in progress the right way… with you having a great time.

Wedding Toasts

July 15, 2008

Wedding toasts are a time that is remembered by everyone for the wonderful thoughts, stories and anecdotes about the bride and groom, this is also a time when every guest is watching and listening. When you ask someone to say a toast at the wedding, it is very important that you ask an individual with whom you can trust. Wedding toasts are not a chugging contest. Your glass should not need to be refilled after each toast. While wedding toasts are very common, it can be difficult to give a great toast if you’ve never done it before. Sure, you see the movies where toasts are spoken as if they are poetry, seemingly with no forethought or effort.

It is a good practice to write a groom speech of about five minutes but that must include all the gratitude towards the friends and family, humor or healthy jokes.

And it could be so that you really don’t have the time to browse the internet to find resources and tips on groom speeches. And, to be honest, for you alone, the groom speech is not among the major responsibility of the day nor it is a priority. It is a good idea to write out and practice the father of the groom speech in advance to make sure all goes well on the big day. Try not to sound like a robot as can happen when one over-practices, but give a speech that is heart felt and honest. It’s about everything you need to know about delivering a smashing Groom Speech. Watch the video and then click the link below to learn everything about it.

Some Maids of Honor like to be spontaneous and not rehearse anything prior to making the toast while others (the majority) usually bring notes or a prepared speech. Thats why there are folks who are professional writers that put together speeches or toasts. That is where their talent is in life. During the event of a wedding, there are numerous opportunities for the use of custom-written speeches and toasts. In many instances this can turn an ordinary event into an extraordinary one!

Remember, a toast does not just have to be talking. A lot of times the best wedding toasts are song in a song. Remember, the more you practice, the more relaxed you will be on the night. Remember that these quotes can be used anywhere throughout the eulogy. Use as many as you feel are necessary.

Funny wedding toasts are growing in popularity in many countries. This is because people like to have a little bit of fun at a wedding as well. Funny wedding toasts are not limited to the best man, though. Actually, anyone can give a funny toast at a wedding if they have a mind to it.
