Would I be able to have some of the veil over my face with this veil? One a separate topic, I mentioned a few months ago that I was interested in doing a Candelighting ceremony, more like a Christmas eve service, than a unity candle, where we spread the warmth of our love, to share with our friends and family- lighting candles and letting it spread. But this was before we'd settled on May in...

Much of ancient Roman literature dealing with magic are, basically, retellings of Greek myths. Roman poet Virgils’s Aeneid for example describes an interesting magical ceremony. The hero of the epic, Aeneas, who has landed on the coast of North Africa after fleeing from Troy, meets Queen Dido. She has just begun to build the city of Carthage. Dido falls in love with Aeneas, and wishes him to stay as...

I'm not terribly good at this dress diary thing. It's a lot of work trying to keep track of everything! Since last month, I: Completed handsewing lace to the train, except for the hem area Bought...form below: The left side is ok but I think it's somewhat boring: I'm pretty much happy with the right side except for the way that the pleating creates a lot of bulk across the front.

I can't believe there is only 1 week left until our ceremony!! Here is a little progress report for ya too. Venue paid for: check Caterer paid for: check Photographer paid for: check Bridal party gifts purchased: check Wedding present for her: check The only thing left wedding related we have to pay for would be the Rehearsal Dinner. Cash is stashed and ready to go! Her dress is still being worked...

...to balance plates on their poor little knees. Third degree burns, broken hips, and people slipping on spilled beans ensue shortly thereafter. See?! Anxiety ridden. I don't have music yet for the ceremony. I have asked some people, but have not yet gotten an answer. I am getting anxious about this because I think they should have some kind of time to practice together before the day of. Maybe I...

Иногда, мне по долгу супружества приходится смотреть за теми вакханалиями, что организует наша, всеми любимая, увы, единая (увы, не потому что единая, а потому, что кроме косорожей физиономии митрополита... нежели очередного брелока к своим ключам! Поверь мне! Да, и не только ты! Вот Таня мне рассказывала про некую Лену, которую я не знаю! Но охотно верю, что ваша работа заслуживает гораздо большего

For those of you who are having readings and a singer in your ceremony would you mind sharing how you are setting everything up... is the singer just going to sing a song and everyone just watches them sing or are you incorporating the song with something else? How many readers on average do people have? Is 3 to many? Thanks!

Ok so we are deciding between two venues for our wedding and reception right now. We are going to have both the ceremony and reception at the same place so here is the thing...Place one is bigger and would be easier to hold both things but it is more expensive because we have to rent out the room and pay for catering. Place two is a lot smaller but we would only have to pay for the food and the people...

We're writing our own ceremony and want to know what you think so far. I've taken bits and pieces from here, Indie Bride, and various other internet sources. We are writing our own vows too but haven't done that yet. If anyone has done/is doing a pinning of the sash in their ceremony, are you guys saying anything about it or during it? I don't know what to do there. PROCESSIONAL OPENING WORDS...

Friday: Home. Ran to the liquor store and to Fred Meyer for beer. ha! We drink so much. Terrible, terrible. ;) To the house. Made pizza, ate pizza, made another pizza, watched Sweeny Todd. All was...going to the concert, but decided we didn't need to spend the money and I wasn't really feeling up to it. Drinks and to WinCo for groceries (and junk food... *sigh*) Home. Snacks and Futurama.
