It’s your Wedding, so Express Yourself!
UniqueOver the course of their lifetimes, many people will be wedding guests on several occasions. During the height of wedding season, weddings can run into one another, as the format and the festivities are similar at various ceremonies. Couples interested in setting their nuptials apart may want to enhance the wedding reception with a few unique ideas.Who hasn't attended a wedding that seems formulaic? The couple en-ters, they do their spotlight dance, there's food, a bouquet toss and then the cake cutting. Guests may actually be able to predict what's com-ing next. While it is often customary and easy to follow tradition, that doesn't mean you cannot buck with tradition and offer a few creative ideas to make your event stand out.Here are several ideas you can introduce into your wedding to add something special to the reception.• Skip the big entrance. Those who were kind enough to attend the cer-emony have already been introduced to the newly minted happy couple. Instead of spending the cocktail hour in the isolation of the wedding suite, mingle with your guests from start to finish. So much time is spent posing for pictures or being out of touch with guests, the cocktail hour can be a great time to sit and chat. Being with guests during the cock-tail hour means you don't have to make that big entrance from behind closed doors. Guests will have all eyes on you when you step on the dance floor for your first dance together. • Dance to an upbeat number. Guests are expecting a slow, sappy tune. What they may not expect is an upbeat song that shows you are willing to have a little fun. If you haven't mastered the waltz but enjoy a little quick step now and again, feel free to choose a tune that shows your excitement and love for each other.• Encourage couples to dance together. It's often customary for the bridal party to join the bride and groom on the dance floor midway through the first dance. However, that leaves spouses or significant others waiting in the wings while their dates tango with groomsmen or bridesmaids. In-stead, don't have assigned partners. Rather, encourage your bridal party members to dance with whomever they choose.• Swap the garter/bouquet toss for something more meaningful. If you're
part of a couple who feels the garter and bouquet toss has become trite, there are other ways to create special moments in your celebration -- ones that don't single out the singletons who haven't yet found their special someones. Use this time to present a small gift or token of your affection to someone on the guest list who has served as a mentor or source of inspiration. • Choose one special component as an extra goodie for guests. Some couples feel the more they offer the better guests will view their wed-ding. Spending more money doesn't necessarily mean guests will have a better time. If you want to go above and beyond the ordinary, find one thing that you absolutely love and offer that at the party. It could be a flambe presentation, a chocolate or candy bar, a carving station with your all-time favorite food (even if that's PB&J), or a carnival-inspired automatic photo booth.• Hire a live performer. Although it's hard to beat the performance qual-ity of your wedding song being performed by the original artist, unless you're cousins with Celine Dion, chances are she won't be available to sing "My Heart Will Go On" at your reception. However, a live band adds a certain level of excitement that a disk jockey may not be able to provide. Those who are adding a cultural or ethnic component to their wedding may want to hire a dance troupe or another type of performer, like a bagpiper, as an added measure of entertainment for guests.• Let them eat ... cookies? Some people just don't like cake. Therefore, why should a couple have to cut a seven-tiered white confection? Tow-ers of different types of treats can be created from just about anything and serve as the perfect backdrop for that classic cake-cutting photo. A pyramid of cream puffs, stacks of brownies, a cookie castle, or cereal-cake concoctions can work. Some bakeries will decorate a "dummy" styrofoam cake, and then you can serve apple pie a la mode, if you desire.• Stage a costume switch. Let's face it, dancing all night in a long gown takes some stamina. As the bride, have a more comfortable cocktail dress available to switch into for the latter part of the reception. It will also add some variety to your wedding photos.
UNIQUE RECEPTION TOUCHESUse the bouquets of the bridal party as the centerpieces of some of the reception
tables as one way to bring something different to your wedding.

Despite the months of planning and poring over every minute detail of a wedding, it has often been said that what people remember most about wedding receptions is the food and if they had fun. Therefore, instead of worrying about choosing Jordan almonds over chocolate truffles, or whether the cake should have an extra tier, couples may want to pay more attention to selecting their reception menus.Although certain foods are wedding staples, it could pay for couples to think with their stomachs instead of their heads when selecting wedding day fare. Having a selection of foods that taste as good as they look is a wise idea over having certain foods simply because they are trendy.Whether you are cooking yourself, having a family member serve as chef or relying on the menu of the reception hall, think about foods that will please guests and select those items, regardless of them be-ing fancy. Here are some other tips.• You want foods to be filling but not so much so that guests have to waddle to the dance floor. If you're planning on several courses, keep portion sizes small to offer a taste of the different items offered.• Classic foods can work well as wedding fare. Roasts, barbecued meats and favorite pasta dishes can make guests feel like they're din-ing at someone's home and not at a wedding.• Choose items people have heard of. Instead of tornadoes of beef, select a hearty prime rib. Just because a dish sounds fancy doesn't make it taste better. If a guest doesn't know what he or she is eating, it can be uncomfortable. Now is not the time to experiment with exotic foods, either. Otherwise, some picky eaters may be left hungry.• Think about the foods you love and see if they can be incorporated at the wedding. Although a breakfast bar at an evening event may seem funny, waffles and omelets may appeal to a greater number of guests than a gourmet fish creation.
• Don't make vegetarians an afterthought. Too often, vegetarians must eat whatever the kitchen can pull together, which is usually a compila-tion of the vegetable garnishes from the meat dishes. Make an effort to have a true vegetarian dish that is intricate and delicious.• Mashed potatoes are a crowd pleaser. Serve little portions of mashed potatoes in cocktail glasses and enable guests to top as they see fit with bacon bits, cheese or chives.• No idea is silly, and serving any type of food in a hors d'oeuvre style can make it acceptable at a formal affair, whether that food is pizza or caviar-topped crackers.• If you have a favorite restaurant that serves delicious food, find out if they will cater your wedding.• Just because it isn't on the menu doesn't mean it cannot be prepared. Talk to the catering manager and let him or her know your preferences. Provided you're willing to pay a little more, there's a good chance you can have items that aren't on the standard catering menu.• Think outside the box for your cocktail hour "bars." A bread bar, a dipping station, milk and cookies service, or vegetable bar are options that go against the standard cheese and pasta stations.Although it's your wedding, ultimately the goal is to please the guests. By choosing foods they will love and rave about, you're guaranteed positive remarks on your wedding.

Chances are those who have attended a wedding have witnessed some popular traditions take place. The bride wears a veil, a court of wedding attendants accompanies the bride and groom, and birdseed, rice or flower petals are tossed. But have you ever wondered why? The wedding customs are ripe with tradition and harken back to days when superstition and myth often ruled the day.• Throwing rice: Today it has become de rigueur to blow bubbles, toss birdseed or release doves when the bride and groom leave the house of worship newly betrothed. That's because savvy individuals found that raw rice can pose a hazard to birds pecking in the area. However, rice throwing is an old custom that dates back to the Middle Ages, when wheat or rice where thrown to symbolize fertility for the couple.• Bouquet: Nowadays, the bride carries a beautiful bouquet of flow-ers. But the purpose of the bouquet held different meanings in the past. Saracen brides carried orange blossoms for fertility. Others car-ried a combination of herbs and flowers to ward off evil spirits with their aroma. Bouquets of dill were often carried, again for fertility rea-sons, and after the ceremony, the dill was eaten to encourage lust.• Bridesmaids: There may be arguments over dresses and how many bridesmaids to have in a wedding party now, but in ancient times it was "the more the merrier." That's because bridesmaids were an-other measure to keep the bride safe against evil spirits. Essentially the bridesmaids were decoys for the spirits -- dressing like the bride to confuse the spirits or maybe help deter them to leave the bride be.• Wedding rings: Wearing of wedding rings dates back to ancient Egypt. The round shape of a ring symbolizes eternal love. The ring is worn on the fourth finger of the left hand because it is believed this finger has a blood vessel that goes directly to the heart.• Wedding cake: The traditional wedding cake evolved from Roman times when the cake was originally made from wheat. It was broken over the bride's head to ensure fertility. All of the guests eat a piece for
good luck. Single women used to place a piece of wedding cake under their pillows in the hopes of finding their own husbands.• Father accompanying the bride: This tradition symbolizes that the bride's father endorses the choice in husbands and is presenting his daughter as a pure bride to that man.• Kissing the bride: In older times, a kiss symbolized a legal bond. Therefore, the bride and groom kissed to seal the deal on their be-trothal.There are many traditions surrounding a wedding that people simply accept. But understanding their origins can make the ceremony more meaningful.
ORIGINS OF BRIDAL CUSTOMSA wedding cake once symbolized fertility for the happy couple.

Few brides-to-be want to be tagged as a "bridezilla." How-ever, engaging in certain behaviors just might earn them that dubious distinction.It is believed the term "bridezilla" was coined in a Boston Globe article in June 1995. Since then, it has been widely used for an overbearing bride who is difficult and often a perfectionist. If a bride-to-be sees her own behaviors on this list, she may want to make some changes quickly or risk alienating friends and family members.• Talking about the wedding nonstop. It is good for brides to have enthusiasm about the big day, but speaking inces-santly over every little detail, especially when the conver-sation often veers to complaints about vendors and other arrangements, can be off-putting to people. • Extreme dieting. It's understandable when a bride wants to look her best on her wedding day, and this can create a desire to shed a few pounds. However, if dieting becomes extreme, it can be unhealthy and dangerous. • Failing to spend time with a fiance. When wedding plan-ning and meetings take precedence over spending time with your fiance, it can set a poor course for the future marriage and strain the current relationship.• A "me-first" attitude. Although it is expected that a bridal party will partake in some tasks and responsibilities, they are not the property or employees of the bride. • Going well over budget. While many people want to have the perfect wedding, fixating on every detail and spend-ing excessively to achieve what is perceived as perfection is bridezilla behavior. Entering a marriage already in debt can put a strain on newlywed bliss.• Fighting with friends and family. Fighting just to fight and draw attention to oneself is bridezilla behavior.• Expecting preferential treatment. Individuals should re-member that florists, dress shops, musicians and photogra-phers work very hard and often with couples who are emo-tional and feeling the stress of spending large amounts of money. Adding even more animosity to the situation could result in less-than-stellar results on the big day.

Not every bride-to-be has visions of walking down the aisle to Wag-ner's "Bridal Chorus." Some prefer other songs that are romantic or dramatic.

Contemporary1. "Sunrise, Sunset" (Hamick & Bock)2. "The Look of Love" (Burt Bacharach)3. "The Vow" (Lubbock)4. "Wedding Processional" (Rodgers & Hammerstein)
Here are some other contemporary songs that can be used with lyrics or in instrumental versions as wedding processionals or first dances.1. "Take Me As I Am" (Love Theme from "Jekyll & Hyde")2. "Marry Me" (Train)3. "Just the Way You Are (Bruno Mars)4. "That's All I Ask of You" (Love Theme from "Phantom of the Opera")5. "The Wind Beneath My Wings" (Bette Midler)6.

Every couple wants their wedding to be memorable. The goal of plan-ning a wedding is to create an experience that everyone will remember for years to come. For some couples, a theme wedding is the best way to accomplish just that.When it comes time to select a theme, the day the wedding takes place may dictate the theme. For example, if the wedding takes place on Hal-loween, the ideas for the theme are easy. Many other couples choose a theme that highlights a specific interest or hobby or something that is dear to them. Here are some popular wedding themes.• Holiday: The Christmas season lends itself well to wedding plan-ning. The colors (red, green, gold) are already established, and most churches and buildings are already decked out in holiday finery, cutting down on the amount of flowers and embellishments couples need. Because the holiday season is so busy and a popular time for social-izing, couples who want to tie the knot during this time of year should send save-the-date cards well in advance. Another option is to have
a Christmas in July" wedding, featuring the same holiday themes but without the hectic nature of the holiday season.• Vegas: Couples who want to tie the knot in Las Vegas but want to ensure all their loved ones can attend can recreate the magic of Vegas wherever they may be. Casino-inspired games and big buffet meals can make guests feel like they have stepped into a casino on the famed Vegas strip. In addition, an Elvis impersonator is essential to a Vegas wedding.• TV show: Some couples elevate certain television shows to cult status. Whether it's "Friends" or "Star Trek," popular television shows have been transformed into festive wedding themes. Whether the ideas to go daring and exchange vows in costume or simply name reception tables according to characters or show locations, couples can include a little television fun into the event.• Fairytale: Many men and women envision a fairytale wedding com-
Wedding themes can add up to extra fun
A masquerade theme might be an entertaining theme for a couple's nuptials.

plete with horse-drawn carriage and the "happily ever after." This is what makes Disney properties as well as the various castles around the world popular backdrops for wedding events. Those planning a fairytale wedding need only look to favorite stories or movies for their inspiration.• Interest or passion: Love to climb mountains? Avid about scuba diving? Couples who share a particular interest can include elements of this sport or hobby into their wedding. Invitations and decor can hint at the theme, and then special activities can further enhance it. Fish bowls as centerpieces may call to mind underwater adventures, while surfboard-shaped invites may set the scene for a beachside party.Theme weddings can add an extra spice to the festivities and incorpo-rate couples' interests into the event -- making it even more special.

We Do Weddings Right
Some might say a long celebrity marriage is one that endures the dura-tion of the newly betrothed's trip down the aisle. We've seen Britney Spears dissolve a marriage after 55 hours and Kim Kardashian call it quits after 72 days. It seems even money can't buy matrimonial hap-piness.But some couples have been together for 50, 60 years and say they're still as much in love as they were the day they spoke their "I dos." What do they know that others do not?According to clinical psychologist and relationship guru Dr. Phil McGraw, "We all need to be flexible and to compromise in marriage, but you've got to be true to your core traits and characteristics, what I call your authentic self." Some couples enter a relationship projecting a persona they believe the other person wants -- one that really isn't what they're all about. This could be a woman trying to fill the role of her husband's nurturing mom or a guy playing the protector to his
wife. In reality, marriage is more of a partnership, and truth and trust are often at the basis of good marriages.There are many other "secrets" that marriage experts will offer to cou-ples seeking the magic formula. Whether you're pondering marriage or have already tied the knot, consider the following advice to make a marriage endure for the long haul.• There's no such thing as the perfect marriage. Some couples create an image of what they think marriage is supposed to be, and that im-age that often goes "poof" once reality sets in. Even soulmates are bound to frustrate or irritate one another from time to time.• Couples should express their frustrations. Bottling up frustrations can eat at a person and eventually destroy a marriage. Talking about the things that are bothering you with your partner opens up a discus-sion and can help you work through things.
secrets to a long and happy marriage
Couples who have stayed married for decades often put each other first and share a mutual respect.

Make your wedding a fantasy…
• Divorce should not be seen as a viable option. Couples who want to bail on the marriage at every turn could be directing their energy toward divorce as the only solution instead of discovering ways to remove the cause of strife. Divorce can sometimes be the easy way out when you think about the work that goes into keeping a marriage working. Experts say that there are a few issues, like adultery, abuse and drug/alcohol addiction, that may be reasonable catalysts for di-vorce if personal safety and sanity is being compromised.• Make time for romance. It's easily said but not so easily done. Too often married couples forget what it was like to date when all of their attention was spent on each other instead of the house, kids, work, etc. Today there seems to be even more distractions, from e-mails to texts to pressure and obligations at the offi ce. Happy couples fi nd the time to spend quality time with their spouses -- even if that's only 10 minutes of alone time a day.• Put "we" fi rst. Many people operate on a "me" mentality. When you're part of a couple, give more to your spouse than you take. If he or she is doing the same, you're working collectively for the benefi t of the marriage instead of yourselves.• Respect each other. Often couples having troubles realize they treat strangers better than they treat each other. Would use the insults or unfl attering terms that you sometimes throw at your spouse with a complete stranger? Probably not. Good marriages are based on a foundation of respect and love. It's easy to lose feelings of love if the respect is gone.
Couples can realize that there are some thorns that come with the roses of marriage, and staying happy together does take work for it to all be worth it.
