Here’s the video of my marriage proposal to my beautiful fiancée. It was done on Christmas Eve, December 24th, 2009, during a Christmas celebration in front of both of our families. She was expecting to open up a vacation as an early anniversary gift – instead, I wrote her a poem and proposed at the end of reading it. Enjoy!
Facts About Wedding Cake Decorating Every Bride Must Know
January 18, 2010
If you’re reading this then you are most likely planning your wedding, or perhaps helping a friend plan hers. This is a day that you may have pictured your entire life. However, when you were planning your wedding chances are you never pictured having cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake! While this may be a newer idea to some, many are finding that it is a very simple and fun option. But why would someone do this, you may ask. Let’s look at four advantages to having a cupcake wedding cake.
First of all, cupcakes are much easier to transport. Consider how most wedding cakes today have many different layers that are boxed separately and then put together at the wedding reception. Or, some bakeries layer the cake all at once and try to transport the entire thing to your wedding. In some cases, cake layers end up melted, dropped, and so on, which would ruin this fun part of the wedding.
Cupcakes however are generally boxed side by side and the boxes are full, leaving little room for the cupcakes to slide and get ruined. Because traditional wedding cakes take a great deal of time to assemble at the reception site, your baker will be charging top dollar for this additional work. Cupcakes, however, do not need to be “assembled.” This is much easier on your pocketbook.
The second advantage is that cupcakes are much, much easier to serve. Some reception halls actually charge money for cutting and serving cake but with a cupcake wedding cake this fee can be avoided. Without worrying about having to make perfect cuts, you can have a friend serve the cupcakes, or even have the guests serve themselves. This not only costs less, but takes the worry out of serving.
The third advantage of a cupcake wedding cake is the option of getting different flavors. With an actual wedding cake you can be very limited in this regard. However, with a cupcake wedding you have so many different options of flavors that it will be sure to match each of your guests own and unique tastes, leaving everyone with a happy and memorable experience.
Do you have to sacrifice beauty for convenience? No. Wedding cupcakes can have all the decorations of traditional wedding cakes. Figurines of the happy couple, bells, doves or hearts; decorations of flowers, fruits, candy, ribbons, jewelry and so on can all be used to decorate cupcakes as beautifully as traditional cakes.
The fourth advantage to having a cupcake wedding cake is the final result – the individual serving. Were you ever served a piece of wedding cake with a part of a decoration which you couldn’t identify? With a cupcake wedding cake, each serving is individually decorated. The result? Each guest is served a beautifully decorated piece of cake.
Consider these advantages to having a cupcake wedding cake for your special day. They’re beautiful, elegant, delicious, and appreciated by brides and guests alike!
3 Positives And Negatives About Buying Wedding Dresses At Consignment Shops
January 15, 2010
Consignment shops can be a good place to find a cheap price for a wedding dress. However, sometimes you might not get close to what you’re looking for, and the dress you end up with might not really be that cheap. Here’s 3 things that are both positive and negative about buying wedding dresses at a consignment shop.
Positives
1. You could find a great deal at a consignment shop. Sometimes women will sell their dresses at a consignment shop at a greatly reduced price without knowing that it’s a designer dress worth a lot more.
2. Consignment shops are close to home. You usually don’t have to travel all that far to get to a consignment shop, which means you can hit a lot of them if you’re a big time shopper. Also, it’s nice being able to buy something and immediately take it home, rather than waiting for something to arrive via mail.
3. You might find what you’re looking for. It might not be exactly right, but if it’s close enough and the price is right, you’ve got a great deal doing and you can stop shopping.
Negatives
1. You might get something that’s really bad. Not in look, but how it’s put together, or many other problems you might not know about, that both the bride and the shop may not know about either. People who run consignment shops aren’t experts in wedding dresses, or anything else; they just help sellers market their wares.
2. The prices might not really be that low. If a seller comes in with a certain price, consignment shop owners rarely have the discretion to bargain with someone over the price of an item. On the other side of things, every once in awhile a consignment shop person does get to bargain, and might mark up a dress higher than the seller had been expecting.
3. You often can’t take a dress back. Consignment shops make no promises, therefore there’s no warranty if there’s something wrong with a wedding dress. The discount might not be a bargain if there’s major problems that can’t be overcome, even by the best alterations person you know.
A Groom’s Speech should Make Everyone Feel Good
January 5, 2010
A groom’s speech can start his marriage off on the right note. Depending on what he says he can make his bride feel loved, his parents appreciated and assure his in-laws of his devotion to their daughter. Unfortunately many of the groom’s speeches miss out on these core messages and, instead, are boring and unoriginal.
Of course none of the things he has to say are original in themselves. It is the way he approaches his speech that will make all the difference to it. If he tells his bride how his breath was taken away by her beauty as she came up the aisle she will love it. If he tells her he is finding it hard to speak because he has a lump in his throat she will be touched. His guests will feel welcome if he tells them he could not imagine his wedding day being so special if they weren’t there to celebrate it with him. Naturally too he will thank them for their lovely gifts although, of course, he will also send out formal thank you letters later on.
Saying thank you to his parents isn’t enough. He might mention how they survived his teenage years with their sense of humour intact, or how they froze on the sideline at every game of football he played. In other words he should personalise his thanks. When he is speaking about his in-laws he might mention how his mother-in-law always makes his favourite apple pie or how his father-in-law has helped him cut his golf handicap. He should always mention, though, how much he loves their daughter and say how well he intends taking care of her.
A groom’s speech would not be complete without some mention of the best man. Usually their relationship is a long one because a best man is quite often a brother or a best friend. It is definitely in order for the groom to say something about their relationship in his speech. He might mention how much his best man snored and how relieved he was to go away to college or say something about the holidays they shared over the years. Naturally he should avoid speaking of old girlfriends they may have had unless of course he says he is now a reformed character being a happily married man.
Sometimes there are people who have helped make the wedding day special. The groom’s speech might include a thank you to the clergyman or woman or to a friend who sang in church. The traditional ending to his speech is a very special toast to the wonderful bridesmaids.
