What kind of person would somebody be, in order to arrive late at his own wedding? Maybe just a distracted one.

If you are one of those “bridezillas”, terriefied and terrifying everybody, fearing that your wedding won’t be the best, you could prevent your future husband to be late at the wedding by giving him an watch. Watches always make nice gifts, and if you don’t know where to start your search from, you could try for example Timesqare.com, an online store where you can find mens watches & mens designer watches. Amongst the watches brands you’ll find here, there are Alessi, Aquaswiss, Bulova, Coach, Croton, Invicta, and many others. Shipping is free across US for orders of minimum $150.
Should you decide to buy a watch from TimeSquire.com, make sure you read the returns policy: for non-defective items, there is a 30 day money back guarantee (minus 25% re-stocking fee) or full credit toward the purchase of another item. If it happens that you buy a defective watch, return it within 30 days and you’ll get a 100% refund of your money.

Have a good relationship with your photographer: You will get back from your wedding photography experience what you put into it. If you click and really get along with your photographer your formal images will be better.

If you plan on taking some pictures at a wedding, there are a few shots That seem to end up in every album. If you capture all of these events, you will be known as a great photographer.

Number one is the cutting of the cake picture. The usual sequence starts with a close up of the cake followed by both bride and groom looking down and cutting then looking up (this is the best shot). It ends with a ritual feeding each other and hopefully not a smash job. One full length shot is enough. The rest should be cut at the knees for a medium crop. The feeding can be closer.

Tip! Add your personal touches. For example; if you have children you may consider making them an important part of your wedding.

Second is the first kiss after the ceremony. This event can come quickly so you’d better be positioned ahead of time with your finger on the button and the camera to your eye. You only get one chance. This picture is mostly symbolic so it doesn’t matter if you can’t see all of the faces.

Third most popular is the picture of the bride and groom getting in the limousine after the ceremony. Right after the throwing of the rice shot, you must race around to the street side of the car, open the door and be prepared to stop the bride from entering prematurely. You must get the bride and groom’s faces close to each other for a good shot. Take two to be sure.

Tip! They have your itinerary / wedding party names to review and make sure there are no issues and that transitions from one thing to a next have a natural flow to them.

Loved by brides, grooms and parents alike is the close up picture of the bride looking up into the groom’s eyes. Include the bouquet and show the rings in the shot. Make several variations: looking at the camera, touching heads, and looking out to the distance. Of course take some full length pictures, some with the flowers on the ground , the bride and groom hugging.

Fifth is the toast picture. It makes a great wallet and thank you card as well as ending up in every album. Because it is so popular, take one toasting each other and two looking at the camera. The same shot works well with the parents as well. If engraved, be sure the glasses are turned toward the camera.

Tip! Maintain a to-do list for the major wedding-related jobs. If you use Outlook, this is easy to put together and print out with their Taskpad, along with percentage completion.

Pictures in the house are kind of anticlimactic, but there is one shot that gets all the oohs and aahs. This one has the bride with her bouquet looking out of the living room window for the limousine to arrive. Usually no flash is needed, the light from the window supplying a perfect portrait quality. Her left hand can be parting the curtain and the right hand holds the bouquet. The lace always looks great.

Finally, the first dance picture showing happiness, togetherness and action at the same time. The ideal shot is full length taken as the bride and groom tilt toward the camera. The photographer is at a low angle and the bride and groom are cheek to cheek. Because the timing is so difficult, no one will mind if you take several tries for the perfect shot. Though these wedding shots are the most popular, the most important shots are the family picture and the portrait of the bride and groom.

Tip! Size Matters: Keep the guest list as small as possible. Editing the guest list will most likely cause the most headaches of the entire wedding process.

Honeymoon is a very delicate subject. That’s because all brides want to have the best time of their lives and all grooms want to spend the less money possible on that. Mont Tremblant Quebec, offers lovers Blueberry Lake: first class services in a wild environment, nearby a beautiful lake. 50 luxury log chalets are waiting for their inhabitants, in the middle of a forrest.

It actually doesn’t matter in which season you are getting married: the resort offers leisure activities for all seasons. You can do cross-country skiing, skating, snowboarding, tennis, or water ski. I very much doubt that a romantic honeymoon includes to much sport, but even if you just want to enjoy your partner, Blueberry Lake is the cozy place to be.

It’s natural to want everything perfect on your wedding day. That’s why it’s important to have your makeup look selected and perfected long before the big day arrives. Take the time to call in the experts. Call a local Beauty Consultant. The beauty of Beauty Consultants is that they make house calls. Finding a beauty consultant near you is simple, first check with your local salon, ask a friend, or check the internet for beauty consultants in your area. Some charge a fee for their consultative services, others only charge for products purchased. Mary Kay Cosmetics is one such company whose Independent Consultants do not typically charge for a consultation. The bride and her bridal party are free to try out a skin care program and color look with no obligation. Independent Beauty Consultants can easily be found via the internet on the Mary Kay Corporate Website at www.MaryKay.com.

The next step after finding the right beauty professional is to choose your color look in advance. Choosing your look is as important as choosing your gown. Don’t wait until the last minute to decide what makeup look to wear for your portrait or your wedding day. Choose products with a matte finish. Too much glitter and sparkle may interfere with your portraits, leaving you looking shiny or sweaty. Your complexion may be dewy, but we recommend a matte finish for your bridal portrait. You may want to switch to a creme-to-powder foundation, but if not, be sure to set your foundation with loose powder. If you have extremely oily skin, you can apply Oil Mattifier before your foundation.

By all means…don’t forget about the condition of your skin! Start a skin care program that will get your skin looking and feeling smooth, soft and radiant for your big day. Do this well in advance for ultimate results. I suggest you start at least six months prior. After all, if your skin is not in its healthiest condition, no amount of makeup can hide it.

Define your eyes in smoky shades. Try eyeliner in a sable brown or charcoal, and apply lightly along the upper and lower lashes. Be sure to smudge and blend the eyeliner to keep your eyes looking soft and pretty. For eye shadows, choose soft, neutral shades that enhance your natural eye color - not compete with it. You want the attention to be on your natural beauty not your make-up. Again, stick with eye shadows with a matte finish.

Your cheeks should reveal a soft natural glow, dust a light pink to the apples of your cheeks if your skin is fair, and choose a rose shade if your skin is beige to bronze. Blend upward toward your hairline following your cheekbone. Remember not to overapply on the apples of your cheeks. I’m sure you’ve heard of the term “blushing bride”, but you don’t want to look like you are burning up inside. Follow with a light dusting of loose powder to set the look.

Your can improve the look and feel of your lips by using exfoliating products in the weeks prior to the big day. Select an creme lipstick to keep your lips feeling moisturized, choose a neutral lip liner and finish with a layer of lip gloss. You may even use the lip liner to fill in your entire lip before applying lipstick for staying power.

Relax and enjoy your big day!

Of all the pictures taken at a wedding, the one most important is the portrait of the bride and groom. Some wedding couples depend on a relative or a friend to take a few good photos for their album and others reserve a professional photographer to do the honors. This article is for both the real and wanna-be photographers at the wedding.

A good time to photograph the bride and groom is after the ceremony and before the reception. Ideal is an open lawn away from any building. Other photogenic locations are at the edge of a treed area, under an arcade or at home in the backyard. Important is to choose an evenly lit background: one that does not contain light and dark areas. Place the couple in the shade at least thirty feet away from any background objects with their faces toward the main source of light.

Turn the bride thirty degrees away from the camera and fluff the train behind her so that only half of the train is visible from the camera position. Never pull the train around to the front of the bride since this is most unnatural and would never occur in real life. Pose the groom slightly facing the bride and have him offer his arm for her to pass her through. Make sure her ring is visible. The groom’s outside hand can be in his pocket or touching the bride’s hand. The bride should shift most of her weight to the foot furthest from the camera and the groom should have his weight evenly distributed on slightly spread feet. Never let his hand drop straight down at his side. The bride may hold her bouquet in her outside hand at a level below her waist with some daylight or background showing between her elbow and her waist. An alternate place for the bouquet is on the ground next to the groom’s feet. Turn their faces toward the camera but not fully straight on, but at a slight angle toward each other. Their expressions should show their happiness, but not laughing.

Angles other than the view straight on without changing their positions often present another good composition for a portrait. Consider also a view from behind the couple, requesting them to turn their heads directly toward each other, giving the photographer a profile of their faces. A variety of shots are possible with this pose. A medium shot (at the knees) with their faces closer together and an even closer pose with the cheeks almost touching make wonderful portraits. Try having them look into each other’s eyes with his arms around her. Natural light from the side is the most beautiful source as long as the reflector of some sort balances the light. Watch your cropping in the viewfinder carefully and leave some space over their heads. Pay attention to the position of the feet (no soles showing) and be sure only the sides of the bride’s hands are presented to the camera. The groom’s coat collar should fit snug to the neck.

A beautiful portrait of the bride and groom can be their most treasured reminder of the most important day in their lives. You can make it happen.

Comments Welcome.

Honeymoon is very important for both bride and groom. After all, they have worked a lot for their magnificent wedding, they’ve suffered all kinds of frustrations, so they deserve agreat honeymoon. But the question is where to go.

If you don’t know, why don’t you check on Rocky Point? This is a seaside resort, very close to Tucson and Phoenix (US) and you can get Rocky Point house rentals with view at the Sea of Cortez. These apartments look great and should you decide to go there, you don’t have to bring in towels or chairs for the beach, as these items are included in your accommodation.

If you are willing to start cooking for your husband, now you have the chance: the kitchens are fully equipped, so you’d better know some good food recipes!

“I Do”. And so you find yourself in a new world, only by saying these two short words. And who saud teleportation is not possible? But how do you know that you are ready for a 50 years or even more trip of a lifetime? Joining your destiny with the one of your beloved one is not a joke, and it shouldn’t be taken easily. Unfortunately, too many people jump into the marriage without thinking if they can actually live with that.

Here’s a helping questionnaire to ask yourself before starting to run for your wedding dress:

1. What’s my biggest wish from this marriage?
2. How do I feel about myself when I am with my beloved one?
3. What am I bringing to the table?
4. Do I really feel happy inside myself right now, as I’m thinking at the big moment?
5. How do I feel about having children?
6. Do I have healthy financial habits right now?
7. Am I willing and able to share my earnings with my beloved one?
8. Do I feel spiritually connected to my mate?
9. Am I free to be and express myself in this relationship?
10. Have I let go of past hurts and pains, and all bad feelings?
11. Do I take responsibility for the things that happen my life, orI just put them on faith?
12. Are my children (if any) valued and respected by my mate?
13. Can I look into my own eyes (this is what mirrors are for) and tell myself out loud “I love you.”

How did you do with your answers? Are these questions you have truthfully answered for yourself before? Would you feel comfortable sharing your answers with your mate?

The key to a healthy long lasting marriage is to know yourself and to be emotionally grown up, so you can handle the life in common. How can you expect someone to make an informed decision about marrying you if you don’t even know yourself?

A couple is much more different than a single you: others will perceive you two as an entity, they will invite you to go together in many places, they will see you as a whole. Are you ready to be only half of an entity? Are you prepared to enjoy this? Do you want to enter the deeper dimensions of love?

If your answer is unequivocally yes, then go ahead and say “I Do”, and live your married life happily ever after!

I don’t know about you, but I adore some old cars like Citroen 2CV and Volkswagen Beetle. They are so romantic, that they inspire me to use them at my wedding. But the problem with such cars is not the buying price, as they are reasonably cheap. It is the spare parts, that are so hard to find, that you won’t have the chance to use your car most of the time. The Beetle repair can be very difficult to make, exactly from this very reason.
However, there is this website, bfyobsoleteparts.com, which supplies you with all kind of accessories and parts for your beloved Beetle.

They have an impressive stock of Beetle parts which can be browsed and filtered by SKU, product or price, easing your search. They have even very small parts like the oil change gasket kit, which is a must if you don’t want to lose your engine oil on the way to the church. New parts are added to the collection every day, and although they are not original, they are very fine imitations of the original parts, so you can feel the old times atmosphere to the full.

How cool is this for a romatic wedding? Would you prefer a pumpkin carriage instead?

All important events in life are subject to superstitions. Wedding is one of them, and if you fear bad things that may happen to your marriage, beware of the following:

1. Don’t wear red when you go to a wedding, because it means disrespect for the bride
2. Don’t choose a redhead as your bridesmaid as she will steal your groom.
3. Saturday is a bad day for marriages, being ruled by Saturn, which is associated with negative energies like jealousy
4. Don’t buy a second hand wedding dress which was not worn at a wedding:  it is jinxed
5. A cloudy wedding day means troubles in marriage
6. Bridesmaids should not wash the dishes or they will fall out with the married couple
7. Buying your partner a watch before the wedding is a symbol of the running out of your relationship’s time
8. Rose petals are thrown before the bride as she walks down the aisle to ward off the evil spirits that live beneath the ground from coming up at her

I don’t know any cases when these superstitions went true, but if you are concerned about that, just avoid doing those “bad luck” things and you’ll be safe, and your marriage will be happy
