 Wishing you always . . . 

Walls for the wind

And a roof for the rain

And tea beside the fire

Laughter to cheer you

And those you love near you

And all that your heart might desire!

Question from a Bride and Groom:  Do we have to have a Maid of Honor and a Best Man?  A Flower Girl, a Ring Bearer?

Response:  No, you do not.  A traditional wedding includes honor attendants but there is no rule or regulation that states you have to include honor attendants .  Many states require one or two witnesses but those witnesses do NOT have to be honor attendants, those witnesses can be guests.

 Question from a Bride and Groom:  We had to change all of our wedding plans due to a hurricane.  And now we have a lot of wedding day items like paper plates, silverware and tablecloths that were never used.  What should we do with them?

Response:  Keep any items that you may be able to use for a birthday or holiday.  If someone you know is getting married in the next year, contact them and ask them if they are interested in buying them at a reduction.  And if nothing else works, donate them to a Salvation Army Store or a Goodwill Store.

 Contrary to popular beliefs, you do not have to have an engagement ring to be "engaged".  When one person says to their beloved, "Will you marry me?" you are then "engaged" to be married.  A diamond ring does not have to be part of that process.
