A Wedding Moment in Time

Dedicated to my brother and his wife, who are no longer with us now.

There is a long moment in time as a you, the groom, waits at the alter. This moment seems to be suspended in time. It floats there before him, making him dizzy with anticipation. He is so much in love and on this day, the day they will promise to be together forever, he has only caught glimpses of her. Then suddenly, the moment is broken as she appears at the back of the chapel, holding her proud and beaming father’s arm. She begins to glide over the flower petals toward him and he catches his breathe, he has to because the angelic way she appears in her wedding dress has taken his breathe away.

Your near future Father-in-law gives you a last look that says you had better not hurt his daughter but you do not notice, because you are still enraptured by her beauty, her confidence, her elegant radiance. Suddenly, those decisions that seemed so important just a few weeks before, like whether to get wedding favors or unique wedding favors, are meaningless. They are so far away from you now, like a distant memory, wisping away in a breeze, that you barely remember them.

She is here now and the guests begin to breathe again. Another magical moment appears within you as you reach out to take her hand, so small compared to yours. It reminds you of your promise to keep her safe and secure from all the evil this world has too offer. Then the preacher starts to speak and the moments begin to fly. He speaks of the love that you and your bride profess to have for one another but you cannot hear him. Being this close to her has taken the world and diminished it into tiny fragments of what might be reality or just an old memory, lost in time.

Suddenly, something changes, what has been five minutes seemed like five seconds to you. So caught up in the beauty that is your imminent wife that it is time to say I do. You say it…, you say it with such conviction that it is truth incarnate and everyone in the room knows instantly that you really do. You have just broken the heart of every man in the room.

As the preacher says I now pronounce you, the ball of tense excitement and anxiousness that has been building in your stomach leaps into your heart and the knowledge that she is yours, to love and to hold forever and a day takes you in its tender grasp and makes you feel more alive than you have ever felt in your life. You now realize the scope and magnitude of your love for her and nothing, nothing can ever change that. It is a fact that now occupies space in the universe. Words cannot express how grateful you are to see that love mirrored in her eyes.

If there is one thing that you know without a doubt, it is that you are happier now than you ever have been and that you think it is ever possible to be. You do not realize now, nor can you realize the joy of your son or daughters first breath until it actually happens and somewhere, deep inside your heart, there is a tiny space there, empty now but ready to be filled and to grow for that moment. You can sense this now but only vaguely and fleetingly, like an unrealized instinct.

Brother, you are married and I am so glad I was there to witness it.

Choosing a Best Man Can Be Difficult

Planning a wedding can be difficult enough without worrying about competition for the best man’s position. Sometimes, however, you are confronted with a situation in which you have more than one candidate and more than one person expecting to be chosen. Now you are not only worried about caterers and flowers or whether to choose regular wedding favors or unique wedding favors, wedding hall, ark, and a hundred other decisions that have to be made and there is no easy solution.

Scenario: You are in love and you are ready to make the big move. You have popped the question and she says yes. You were the best man at your only brother’s wedding and your best friends wedding and you know that they are both expecting you to ask. What do you do in this delicate and potentially sad situation?

Your best friend is a good person who has had your back in more than one dangerous situation. He has pulled your fanny from the fire a few times and he is like a brother to you. You can count on him in a pinch and he can do the same with you. When you manned the post at his wedding he let you know that he is there for you when you get married. Hey, you have to ask him, right?

You and your brother grew up in some hard times and you kept each other safe. He made sacrifices that helped you out and you would literally die for the man if it came down to it. You know for a fact that he chose you as a best man over his long time best friend and expects you to reciprocate. It has got to be him, right?

This dilemma pops up at almost every other wedding and there is no easy way to figure it out. You will have your mom and probably you fiance telling you that you have to go with family and in a way, they are right. Blood is not only thicker than water; it is louder too. You may never hear the end of a poor decision here so either man up and make the choice or let mommy do it for you. There are not many options here. Of course, if you do not mind having your mother pull this out of a hat every time she sees you, take the twins out of her purse, and choose your best friend like you had a pair. Your brother lives a thousand miles away and your best friend lives down the street. A third option and probably the safest is to let them decide.

Solution: Invite your friend and your brother over for a drink. Just the three of you sit down, pop open some suds, and explain the situation to them. Let them know that you do not want to hurt either one of them and you need help deciding. Now one of three things is about to happen. Either they will laugh at you for foolish worry and pull high card for it, get totally ticked off and tell you to pull your manhood out of your mommy’s purse and pick someone, or they will both refuse and you’ll have to find someone else. More than likely, they will see the very tough time you are having and after a little ribbing, one of them will take the job and you will be in the clear. Just remember one thing. If at the end of the day you still cannot decide, blood is thicker than water.

Let the Air Out of This Wedding

There you are at the alter with your new bride to be listening to the long-winded preacher go through his eloquently prepared speech. He is just about to get to the good part when suddenly, your stomach cramps up and you know…, I mean, you just know that you are about to pass some of the most noxious and disgusting gas imaginable. How you know is easy, because, like an idiot, you went out last night and sowed the last of your wild oats. That means you drank so much that you are still over the legal limit and its been 18 hours since your last drink. You find yourself wishing that Taco Bell did not have an all night drive through and wish you had not polished off twelve of them.

The empty bottle of pink, cherry flavored stomach medicine laying on the bathroom counter will do nothing but add a slightly cherry-ish tinge to an otherwise deadly fume and at this point, the only thing you can do is bend over and clutch your stomach, and your butt cheeks. But you can’t do that in the middle of a ceremony that will remain in your wife’s keen memory for the rest of your short and painful marriage should you blow wind and kill all the guests on this side of the church.

What can you do to prevent or at least minimize the damage? Here are a few tips at damage control because short of sticking a roll of quarters in a very uncomfortable place, in public, you are about to embarrass yourself.

One thing you can do is cut it loose. Just let it go and then quickly step back and glare at your best man. This technique, known as deflection, is the same technique you used on the school bus as a child when you wanted to embarrass your best friend who is now your best man. He will know what to do if he is still sharp. He will turn and glare at the unsuspecting groomsman next to him. This may actually work if your soon to be wife has the I.Q. of a muskrat and is deaf on the right side.

Another option is to ease it out and pray for a silent passing that is not so potent that it fuses the sand in the beach wedding favors or wilts the wild flowers on the summer wedding favors. A silent passage allows you the opportunity to take a five count before dramatically sniffing the air and looking around as if you smell smoke and are trying to locate the fire.

There are a few things you have to remember when deflecting a butt bomb away from yourself. Fisrt of all, never and I mean never deflect, even in the slightest way towards your new bride. For one thing, she will never forgive you and ca dial a divorce lawyer faster than you can say I’m sorry. Most important, if she does forgive you, which she won’t even if she says she will, revenge is a dish best served cold. Women know cold, brother, you don’t want to go there. Your apt to wake up on your anniversary with the twins in a sling. You cannot deflect towards the preacher either. Accusing a pastor, rabbi, or priest is out of the question, period. I think that it is a law, written or not.

Your best option is to just grin and bear it. Make your apologies, hope for the best because if she loves you, truly and deeply loves you, she will be embarrassed for you, and forgive you. But don’t hold your breath. Well…, you might have to.

Chose Your Wedding Planner Wisely

If you are lucky, you have a committed and talented family member that is eager and chomping at the bit to plan your wedding for you. Most people are not that lucky and will have to get out there and find one. Choosing a wedding planner is not as easy as opening the phone book and calling the first number listed although you could go that route and you might even get lucky enough to like that individual. The odds, I am sorry to say, are against it. A good wedding planner knows that you and he or she will have to form and emotional bond in the short time you will be together and you both will need to feel that bond on your first meeting.

This is a person who will come into your life and make help you make some of the most important decisions you will ever make. The wedding planner will be the maker or breaker of a wedding and a good one embraces this responsibility. They look forward to the challenge and they understand the gravity of the commitment.

Interview, interview, interview, and you cannot go wrong. A good rule of thumb is to meet with at least five event planners before you make a decision. If you find that it is a tough decision to make then you are doing something right. Let your heart help you make the decision or even better, let your heart make the final choice. That is usually the right thing to do.

Do not be afraid to ask for references and even quiz the wedding planner to test their knowledge. You do not want a planner that does not know the difference between beach wedding favors and summer wedding favors. You also want your planner to know the vendors you may hire by name. If, when it is time to talk about caterers, the planner pulls out the yellow pages and asks you if that would be under food or catering, you probably made a bad choice.

Wedding planners should come highly recommended. When they supply references, check to make sure that the references are actually married couples who used the planner and not just friend earning a few quick reference bucks. (It happens) One good way to tell if you have a reputable wedding planner is the way they interact with the vendors you will involve in your wedding. Call around in advance and get over the phone quotes to see if your planner is getting you better deals in person.

Once you have a good wedding planner, trust their instincts as well as your own. If they have been in the business for any length of time, they will know the tricks that will save you money and make your wedding an affair to remember. A good wedding planner makes between two and three thousand dollars per wedding and to many people they are well worth the money. Of course, the least expensive way to go is to plan your wedding yourself but only if your negotiating skills are very sharp. Part of a wedding planner’s job is to get you the best service at the best price possible. This is how they make a living and most of them are very good at what they do. The most important thing is to find one that you like and with whom you are comfortable.

The Last Moment

His hands were suddenly clammy and felt tingly cold. He could feel the sweat oozing from every pore on his body. There was a very irritating twitch that had developed in his left eye, which was now keeping a beat of which M. C. Hammer would be proud. He did not know how he was going to get through the next few seconds of his life without passing out. The world seemed to swim in and out of focus as he swayed unsteadily on his feet. People he knew and some he did not, although he was sure he should have, were staring at him in anticipation. He knew he should at least make the attempt, but he did not think he would make it.

“This is it.” He thought. “This is the moment I have dreaded all my life. The end is finally here.” He tried to speak but his saliva had dried up and all he could manage was a croaking sound. As he glanced around him, he could see the concern in everyone’s eyes. Some even registered alarm. He knew he had to try. Even if it killed him, and he thought that it actually might but he had to try. “I absolutely, unequivocally must find a way to miraculously survive this,” he thought, “Everything is hanging on what I do now. They are counting on me which means it’s all riding on this one moment.”

“One,” a sudden stabbing sensation pierced his chest. He could feel his pulse start to palpitate. For a brief moment, he thought he might actually pass out. “Two,” the pressure in his chest increased. He realized he had not taken a breath in quite some time and all the blood had rushed to his head, which felt the size of an enormous, hot air balloon. “Three!” He drew in a deep lungful of air and steeled himself. At first, absolutely nothing at all happened. He was sure his throat had seized and he would be completely immobilized like this forever. Then, at last and with great relief, he heard his voice boom through the room. It reverberated violently off the walls. An infant, somewhere in the large crowd started crying, startled.

“I DO!”

Music started playing and the preacher, looking very relieved, pronounced them man and wife. He kissed his new bride hello, and his old life goodbye. The guests, also relieved, crowded forward to congratulate the happy couple. He realized then that he had made the right decision and after all was said and done and the newlyweds had departed in their white limousine as the guests lingered, but only long enough to comment to each other what a lovely ceremony they had witnessed. They slowly left the chapel with their spring wedding favors and their garden wedding favors in their gaily-decorated packages and they all went home.

The pastor and his wife stood in the empty chapel surveying the left over decorations and little white specks of rice on the carpet. “For a moment, I thought he was going to bolt and I wondered,” the pastor’s wife commented as she put paper plates into a plastic trash bag. “Why do men have such a hard time with commitment?”

The Elderly pastor stopped trying to untangle the vacuum cleaner cord and sat down in the first pew. “My dear,” the elderly pastor began, “I thought you would have figured that out by now. I’ll explain it to you but you might not have the right genes to get it. I believe you have to have a certain level of testosterone to understand.” He reached up and loosed his tie before continuing. “You see, men can comprehend what is wrong and what is right, but unlike women, we can’t figure both, at least, not at the same time. I guess you could say we are like the moon, sometimes we are full of light, and we shine brightly. During that phase, we see the good in everything. Sometimes we have no idea what we want and that is the phase in which we are more like the new moon. You cannot see the new moon because the earth blocks the sunlight. So you could say that when a man is like the new moon he is there, he is just not too bright. Our young groom today was like the crescent moon. Half of his soul could see his lovely bride before him; the other half was not very bright. Fortunately, his bright side kicked in and it turned out okay.” The pastor’s wife slowly shook her head from side to side. “You must be a new moon tonight because you’re making no sense at all.

A Wedding Vow is Sacred

A Wedding is a sacred ritual in which two people in love make a vow before God to love one another and share their life together. It is also much more than that as we promise to obey and respect each other. Marriage is a sacred trust that should never be entered into lightly and yet some people will put more thought into buying a car than whether they should get married. They do not consider that they are devoting a lifetime to another person. This is such an awesome responsibility that it staggers the mind.

This kind of commitment is made everyday as people in love tie the knot and move forward with the hopes that their lives together will be rich and fulfilling. Hope springs eternal in the human heart when it comes to matters of love. People grow and change and with any luck, they will grow together rather than apart. There are so many things that could happen that can affect a marriage that it has to have a good, solid foundation of love if it is to have any chance to succeed.

It is sad to think about how many marriages fail when they start out so well. Some couples will never get past the first five years before they have drifted or grown apart. They do not realize that you have to work together every single day to make a marriage work. If they think the most important decision they will make is what kind of bridal shower favors to get then they may be doomed already. Wedding shower favors are important but the most important decision you will ever make is to get married and everything else is a distant second.

Of all the things that will strengthen a couple’s decision to get married, the wedding is right up there at the top of the list. It does not have to be an expensive, all out affair. Even if you get married without a wedding in the middle of the night with a justice of the peace, the important thing is how you remember it. Will you remember the flowers and the food, or will you just remember the look in your bride’s eyes. If you remember the love you feel for the person you are marrying more than the wedding itself, you are off to a great start.

A wedding is a great statement of love and how you are committed to each other but it is not the love itself, nor is it the commitment, which comes from your heart not your wallet. Two people in love will not care as much about the size and cost of the wedding as the look in each other’s eyes when they say their vows. That is not to say that the wedding is not important at all because it is. It is just not as important as the love you feel for each other.

When you are one hundred percent sure that you are in an all time, one of a kind, spend your life together kind of love that will last a lifetime, then go for it and plan the best wedding possible. Start building those memories that will help to strengthen your marriage and your love. Stand before God and your family and friends and say those magic words that will carry you through the rest of your lives. Everyone who attends and some who do not are praying for you and your lives together.

Using Beach Wedding Favors Outdoors and Indoors

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a wedding on the beach? The way you see actors do it in movies, leaves so much to be yearned for. It seems to be the perfect casual location, which can double as a formal setting as well. No doubt about it, a beautiful beach practically screams romance. Maybe this is the reason why we always see beach front weddings on movies and on television shows.

The irony about these types of scenes is that we rarely ever see any beach wedding favors or any summer wedding favors. This can sometimes make one conclude that even though these weddings take place on a beach, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is bright and warm outside. As strange as it may seem, even stranger things have been done before. Could you imagine trying to stand at the altar in the middle of the winter time? Of course not, well at least not outside. You could however picture standing at the altar in the winter, if the altar were indoors.

Even still, thanks to the popularity of nature themed weddings, the beach has become quite the popular wedding chapel these days. Is it really any wonder as to why Hawaii has become one of the most traveled too places in the United States then? Of course not, because it is literally a place for vacationing as well as for romance. This is because of the beaches and their crystal clear waters, not to mention their natural flowers. A beach front wedding on one of their beaches would be almost like Utopia. Then again, it all goes back to what time of the year it is. Even on a really warm day, it can be a bit cool at the beach. This is because not only do you have the wind coming off of the water, but you have vapor mists in the wind as well. This is why it usually is not a good idea to try to have a wedding or a get together on the beach during the cooler seasons of the year.

Sometimes people have beach themed weddings at places other then beaches. That’s right; sometimes people make their own beach setting in their own backyard, or a neighborhood park. As unusual as it may sound, it is true. Some times people who are terrified of water, or people who can not actually afford to travel all the way to a beach because they live on mainland, decide to create their own version of a beach without the water. Sometimes they even have props found at actual beaches such as surf boards, sand buckets and shovels, and of course lots and lots of sand. Then again, sometimes it is not the sand in between the happy couple’s toes which is requested.

Some people decide to have their beach weddings indoors. These generally only have a backdrop or painting of the ocean in which the couple stands before while reciting their vows. Sometimes they even go out and find a compact disk with the sound of the ocean on it to play at their reception. Now I don’t know about you, but personally if I were indoors, and heard a seagull, I would defiantly look up towards the ceiling just to make certain there wasn’t one present.

Looking for discounted beach wedding favors After doing some price comparison and research, I found that E-WeddingFavors.com has the biggest selection of beach wedding favors, summer wedding favors and much more, all at the best prices online.

Dreaming About Beach Wedding Favors

Close your eyes for a moment and imagine that you are trapped in a nightmare. Not just one of those nightmares that are guaranteed to have a happy ending either. This particular nightmare is not quite as simple as that. You are not as lucky as some, who open their eyes and wake up simply to doze back off fast to sleep with no reminisce left of your nightmare. No you are not as blessed as those whom can escape theirs simply by awaking themselves.

Your particular nightmare is set in a wedding atmosphere. You look all around and try to scream, but no words, or sounds can escape your mouth. On the tables before you are summer wedding favors. You suddenly realize where you are when you hear the sudden splash of waves crashing on the shore line of beach in which you are standing upon. From the looks of the decorations presently surrounding you, this wedding also has beach wedding favors. Whose wedding are you suppose to be at, and why are you the only one here?

You seem to be asking yourself repeatedly, why it is that you are here. Although there is no emanate danger surrounding you, you still can not help but to feel as though this is a nightmare. Why is it that you are so frightened? Your stomach churns with what feels almost like the flutter of a million little butterflies trapped in your lower intestines. Your palms are sweaty, and your head is pulsating with such an adrenaline rush that you feel almost as though you are going to pass out. You know this place, and yet for some reason you can not quite call it by its name.

It is not until suddenly others begin to appear in your dream that you realize that you are not far from having an anxiety attack. What is triggering this anxiety however, is still a bit of a mystery. You see the faces of family as well as friends joining you, but they are not at all having the same feeling as you. These people are happy, almost ecstatic. If all of these people are happy, then why do you feel like you are wound tighter then a guitar string that is about to snap? You are not far from having all of your questions answered.

With sea gulls flying about and the beautiful waves falling maliciously on themselves, one would almost swear that this could be a utopia of sorts. To you however this setting is more like a nightmare manifesting itself in the form of familiar places and atmospheres. It is not until that age old familiar tune begins to play that you realize what exactly is going on. Yes indeed this is a wedding, but not one of your friends, or even family members. This is your wedding. That is why you are so full of anxiety. Things begin to suddenly fall into place as the realization sets in. As the wedding march plays you glance up with your eyes wide open, eager to see you beautiful bride.

The congregation whispers while rising to honor your bride to be. While the wedding march plays on, you try your best to see your brides face through her beautiful veil of white lace. Alas this will not be easy, and even if she were to peer up for just one moment, it would be impossible to see through all of that lace. Alas as she makes her way to your side, your heart skips a beat. You reach out and begin to lift her veil so that the ceremony can begin, and suddenly you hear a buzzing sound. The higher you lift the veil the louder the sound becomes. You have it lifted high enough to expose everything from your brides blushing rose colored red cheeks, down to her chin. Suddenly your head swarms with the loud buzzing noise and you close your eyes for a moment in hopes to get it to stop. It is in that moment that you open your eyes only to find that you are awake. Everything about your dream has faded, and all that surrounds you are your bedcovers and the morning sunlight pouring through your windows.

The Best Unique Wedding Favors I Have Ever Seen

Have you ever been to an alternative gothic wedding? In many states it is said to be a thing of taboo. In any event, unless you live the lifestyle, or have been exposed to it in life before, you probably are wondering what it is that you should expect. Allow me to elaborate more upon the subject, so that you will have a clearer mental picture of what exactly an alternative Goth wedding is like.

I have two friends that happen to be very near and dear to my heart which live the gothic lifestyle. After their first introduction to one another, it seems as though they were almost inseparable. Next thing we all know, they are engaged to be wed. Now being neither eccentric as they are, not just any style wedding would suffice nor suite their tastes. In fact not just any type of wedding favors would suite them either. My friends went all out of their way to find the perfect unique wedding favors for their “unholy union”, as they so dubbed it.

These friends of mine, as I have said before, are considered by many to be extremely eccentric. Their all time favorite movies were those produced and directed by none other then Tim Burton, and their favorite character of all time was Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Can you guess what their wedding decor looked like? That’s right, they went and had custom favors and decor made. Everything was custom made just for them. Even their cake was in the shape of Halloween town, with the topper having Jack as the groom and the female character from Tim Burtons Corpse Bride representing the bride.

Now as I have said before, generally people would not choose to have their scenery at their wedding this eccentric, but hey it was their big day so I say whatever works for them, works for me. The bride wore an old tattered dress which was custom made to look as though it were made in the Victorian times, and underneath it she wore some very brightly colored stockings. The groom had a suite made to resemble that of none other then the character Jacks suite in the movie. Despite the decor, their wedding was beautiful.

In the reception hall hundreds of people gathered to congratulate the happy couple on their “unholy” union. Again the decor here was not something one usually sees at a reception. They had candles lit which were in holders made out of pumpkins and carved out to looked like Jack, a cake made that looked like a replica of Halloween Town, and music straight from the movie. Overall in my personal opinion, this was one wedding which was hauntingly beautiful to say the least. One thing is for sure, it was defiantly a once in a lifetime experience.

These friends took the time to prestigiously map out every single detail of their wedding, and seemed as though they went over it with a fine toothed comb and a huge magnifying glass to ensure everything was perfect. It was surely an event which will not easily be forgotten, and they even had little ragdolls made of themselves to give to the guests to remind them of the occasion. Overall I had a blast, and I still to this day can not understand why some people thing alternative weddings are taboo.

Weddings Post Dating Wedding Party Favors

Do you remember the late 80’s and early 90’s, when NBC use to air the Little House on the Prairie episodes? That’s right, back then Michael Landon wasn’t just a star, but he was a producer as well. If your not familiar with the television series, then you probably have not been familiarized with the book compilation either.

The setting for the story takes place in the 1870’s on the American Frontier. The characters which the story is based upon are known as the Ingalls Family, and they have literally faced joys and sorrow together. Relocating from Wisconsin to Kansas, the Ingalls family not only faces the rough and rugged untamed wilderness, but they have to build themselves a new home in it from scratch. Through all of the pearls which have befallen them, they still triumph victorious and even happy. One particular episode which aired on television had the whole fan base watching. It was the episode in which Laura Ingalls married Mr. Almanzo Wilder, thus becoming Mrs. Laura Ingalls Wilder. Seeing as to how the setting was the 1870’s there were obviously no wedding party favors and obviously no wedding guest favors.

This is because this family literally had nothing in aspects of money, yet they were rich in the since of love and strength. Their wedding was made special not because of the decorations, or how many guests were present. Their wedding was made special by the love in which was shared by their entire family. It is not often in this day and age to come across a couple who is blissful solely because they have found one another in life. Generally in today’s society a marriage is accompanied by gifts, music, and lots of guests. In Laura’s day and age, a traditional marriage was simple. A man, his soon to be wife, and their family, all stood before a pastor or justice of the peace. That was what a real wedding use to be.

These days when someone thinks of having a wedding, they generally think about how much money they will have to spend on it. Sometimes people overlook and ignore the true meaning of marriage. If the Little House on the Prairie saga has taught us anything, it should be that the joining of a man and woman in holy matrimony should require nothing more then two things. These things being the love they have for one another, and the courage to stand before themselves and God and vow that love. However times are not as they once were. These days men buy gifts for women that they are wooing after, they take women out on dates to movie theaters and to expensive restaurants.

Could you imagine what it would be like if you lives in the 1870’s? How would you celebrate your wedding if you were to be married in that time period? It is a rather interesting concept isn’t it? The mere though of living in a time where the wits of man triumphed over the wits of a machine seems unfathomable in these days. Living in an age where technology was something that didn’t exist, and an Instant message was considered to be yelling yellow across a field in hopes that you neighbor would hear you. The though alone makes one happy that we are not in those times, and even makes you appreciate how the world has changed.
