Gift Card Registry
Asking directly for money can be extremely uncomfortable and is frowned upon by Dear Abby and Emily Post. Happily, there's a new way around this delicate situation. CardAvenue.com allows couples to register for gift cards from select stores and let friends know about their choices via E-mail. It's a simple as 1-2-3 and doesn't require a purchase or setup and transaction fees. Card Avenue also offers guests a resource for buying fulling-priced or discount gift cards.

Why a Ringbearer?
This custom is typically American and unknown in Europe although he is the successor the the English page boy who still carries the Bride's train in formal weddings at Westminster. Children have always been considered propitious in the wedding party, and in France they carried lighted tapers at the Bride's side. Charles Frederick Worth, who dressed most of the queens of Europe from his house in Paris, is said to have originated the court train, suspended from the shoulders, for the wedding gown. This gave the little train-bearer a definite job to do. But alas, court trains went out of fashion as skirts grew shorter, so the Bride's little nephew was given the wedding ring to carry.

What is photojournalism?
Rather than posing for your pictures (portraiture), the photographer will follow you throughout the day capturing events as they happen. this has become a very popular style of wedding photography and is essentially a series of candid shots. Wedding photojournalism is said to appeal to the Bride and Groom that are looking for a series of unique photographs to "tell the story of the day."
There are drawbacks, as there is usually no pre-planned "shot list." The resulting images can be unpredictable. it is a fact that some couples later regret not opting for the more traditional posed portraits in their wedding album.
