Do you remember how many weddings you were ever invited to? And how many of them you did attend?

I can’t recall such memories, but that’s for sure that I like to remember the funniest moments of my life. Weddings are not funny in general, but sometimes hilarious things can happen.

Like this cousin of mine, who wanted to get married in an absolutely romantic style, by recreating live the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet. She did everything, she had a small balcony built in the ceremony hall, but she didn’t think to try it before the wedding day.

The big surprise was that the floor did not resist her weight, and we saw the beautiful bride coming down though the balcony, while her Romeo was playing the guitar and singing a romantic song.

Luckily she did not get hurt, but her hair was looking strange after the fall, and she was not able to put it in order for the whole night. Each time we looked at her, we felt like laughing, and even the groom was laughing every now and then. Besides, her outfit and accessories got all wrinkled, for even more fun.

Boy, we had such a fun! I’ll never forget that wedding.

One of the most difficult things when attending a wedding, is to find an appropriate gift for the married couple.

Usually, we are either friends of the bride or of the groom, so w don’t know quite well the other partner. For such situations, there are a few items to be avoided:

- Decorations for house and garden: you don’t know what they really like to see in their own house, so buying them flower vases or small statues, or other pieces of furniture would make their situation more difficult. Only think that they would be forced to display the items you gave them each time you go visit them at home.

- Clothing items or shoes: most probably, the bride is going to get pregnant soon, so she won’t have the chance to wear too much the items you’d give her. As of the shoes, each woman wants to try the shoes before buying, in order to make sure they fit.

- Kitchen utensils: don’t you even think of that! she will be offended, and she may understand that you wish her a new happy life surrounded by her kitchen walls, cooking for a big family and permanently smelling like food.

What do you think? Are there other items to be avoided w3hen you go to a wedding and need to buy a gift?

Usually very young brides may experience trouble in their wedding day because of acne. Acne would prevent them from looking good, the photos will also look bad, and she’ll need to retouch them heavily. However, if she decides to go for a treatment, she may get rid of acne before the wedding. This Acne Chicago Treatment offered by two doctors, Eugene and Steven Mandrea, both of them Board Certified Dermatologists, can help people get rid of acnea and other skin ailments such as Psoriazis, or Rosacea. Their cosmetic and dermatologic treatments can also help wrinkle reduction.

So Chicago brides can be beautiful regardless their age.

The Godmother is usually eclipsed at the wedding ceremony by the bride. Of course the bride is the center of attention, and it is normal to be like this, because it’s her wedding, the guests are her friends, relatives or acquaintances, so she will shine and glow for them.

But there is always a Godmother in the shadow of the bride, and if she doesn’t look glamorous too, everybody would notice her and they would comment about how ugly she was, or how her shoes didn’t match her dress.Thus it is very important that also the Godmother looks gorgeous, that she pays attention to all details, so she can go unnoticed.

Have you ever been a Godmother? How was it? How did you feel?

I don’t know how many of you have heard about HDPE Granules, or how many of you actually have seen how plastic things are manufactured. HDPE stands for High Density Polyethylene and it is a plastic which is very widely used nowadays for manufacturing lots of plastic things, such as packages, or protection helmets for workers, or plastic bottles.

The best thing with HDPE is that it is recyclable, making it a very good material now, when we all seek to protect our planet as much as we can. Used HDPE is scraped, and washed, and filtered, and turned into granules, which are used again to manufacture new plastic products. In this way, the HDPE is washed out from all contaminators, and the initial raw material used to obtain HDPE, namely the petroleum is saved.

Another cool property is that the HDPE granules can be colored, thus offering a wide range of possibilities to get beautiful plastic items.

Have you ever thought what makes humans miserable? What keeps them away from the so much wanted happiness?

One answer which maybe you’ve already guessed is: ego. Yes, our ego is the one that prevents us from letting it go and enjoying life. Since oldest times, people were seeking spiritual enlightenment through meditation, religion or even hypnotic methods. Drugs induced euphoria is also part of this search for happiness.

The Sedona method shows you how to transcend your ego, to awaken your presence awareness and become part of the peaceful revolution in consciousness and value.
This method will teach you how to overcome conflicts and to find your inner peace, how to embrace this world with all its happenings and facts. There was a NLP saying that the most flexible element in an organization is always the winner. flexibility helps you to create a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere around you, it is your key to a better world. The Sedona Method teaches you how to master this key, and live in peace and happiness in your world.

It will teach you how to stop creating enemies and conflicts, and how to surrender to what is. Think of the water: it takes the shape of the valley it flows through, but in time it models the stones and turns them into sand. It always follows the course of minimum resistance, thus becoming unstoppable. Wouldn’t you like to be like a river, following your natural, minimum resistance way to the ocean of happiness?

Since old times, the wedding dress was supposed to be white. Of course, white was a symbol of chastity and purity, so the young girls who got married expressed that with the help of the white wedding dress.

Nowadays, more and more women are at their second, or even third marriage, so the white of the wedding dress has lost its meaning. There’s no wonder that most of the times, these brides opt for having the wedding dress in other color: beige is one of the big favorites, but I’ve encountered a lot of blue and pink wedding dress models which were appreciated by the brides to be.

White or not, bridal gowns are still hot. The wedding fairs are extremely crowded with lots of young people in love, searching for their perfect wedding.

We see so many happy brides every day, but it is hard to imagine what will happen to those happily married couples after a while. Many of them end up by divorcing, and usually, this leaves one of the partners with a broken heart.

If you are decided to go for a divorce, and nothing can be done to prevent it, than that;s life, maybe you were not meant to be with each other from the first place, so you don’t have to feel blue, or to endlessly cry on your friends’ shoulders.

First, be aware that you are not alone. There are millions of people who are in the same situation, and breaking up is not the end of the world.

Secondly, if you don’t have a hobby, get yourself one. There are so many activities one can do nowadays, that it is impossible not to find something you like to do, and become better in doing it.

Thirdly, don’t force yourself to go out on new dates, if you don’t feel like doing it yet. With time, your good mood will come again, and there’s no point in meeting new potential partners while you are still fragile and vulnerable, and suspicious, because you can easily hurt those people with your behavior.

If you feel lonely, you could consider getting yourself a cat or a dog. Pets can make great firends, and they love you unconditionally (providing you give them food)

Selecting the wedding location can be one of the most challenging tasks a bride to be has to overcome. Why? Because you’ll have to search for the place long before you can send out your invitations, so you won’t know exactly how many guests you are going to have. Then, there are a few periods which are preferred by most of the couples, and the good locations must be booked with many months in advance. Then, supposing you have a 9 to 5 job, you’ll be able to search for places only during weekends.

Luckily you can save some time by filtering possible locations directly from your home, from internet. Should you be looking for Wisconsin banquet halls, you could stop by Davians. Amongst other events, they are happy to host and organize wedding ceremonies, including menus, decorations and full event coordination. In order to make it easier for you to decide what you want, they have a big choice of wedding packages, or customized  wedding themes, in case you wish to be original. The packages are very detailed, with menu and costs (estimated according to various numbers of guests), so you can budget your wedding long before you actually go to see the locations.

If you like what you see on their website, the staff at Davians invites you for an Open house tour, which takes place every Tuesday, at 4pm, 5:30pm and 7pm. You don’t need any appointment. All future brides are welcome.

How do you choose your wedding location?
