Question of the week . .

I know of a Bride and Groom who secretly arranged their ceremony and reception to avoid the Bride's Mother interference and control.  The Bride's Mother and Father did not even know that a wedding date had been selected until they opened the wedding invitation and learned the wedding was taking place in another state in four weeks.

So, if your know your Mother and/or Father are controlling and you know that getting the wedding that you and your fiance envision is going to be impossible under the Bride's parents control, would you plan, organize and pay for your own wedding?

The custom or Mothers and Grandmothers handing down heirlooms . . such as jewelry or antique clothes, fabric or trimmings . . to the bride-to-be is worldwide and often fulfills the "something old" requirement for a traditionally minded bride.  Even remnants of a treasure can help personalize your new bridal ensemble.  For instance, old lace can be rescued from a tattered gown and used to trim a veil or the neckline of a new bridal gown.  A broken necklace or broken earrings can make a beautiful and sentimental finishing touches when glued to a handmade drawstring bridal bag or silk wedding shoes.

Question of the week . .

Your Aunt and Uncle have been very generous and kind to you, the Bride, throughout the years.  And much to your surprise they did not give you an engagement gift nor did your Aunt attend your bridal shower.  You have just opened the wedding card they gave you, and much to your surprise there is only a $25 restaurant gift card inside the card.  Are you going to share this disappointment with your Mother who is your Aunt's twin sister?

The beaches of Sarasota County stretch over 35 miles along the west coast of Florida on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and have the most awesome, colorful sunsets over the water.

And that's just one of the many reasons why thousands of couples have gotten married at sunset on the beach in Venice, Sarasota, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, and Nokomis.

Question of the week . .

I will never forget reading a question in Yahoo Answers (Weddings category) from a Bride who wanted to know how she could insist that her wedding guests give her a minimum of a $100 cash gift (per person) because she was spending a lot of money on entertaining them at the reception and she wanted to make sure that she was getting a "nice gift" in return.

Do you know of a mercenary Bride and/ or Groom?  And what makes them mercenary in your opinion?

Do you feel obligated to tell the family and/or friends who purchased wedding gifts, that you do not want or like, that you are returning them?  And will you tell them the item is being returned for something else you prefer or that you are turning it into cash?  And will you tell give them this message in person or in a Thank You note?

Medieval European brides believed that knots symbolized good luck, hope and steadfastness, so their bouquets were tied with numerous knots.

And that is why you will see that many bridal bouquets include streams of knotted ribbons hanging down.

Q is for Queen as in Queen size mattress, bed frame, box spring, bed and linens.  If you have decided to get new bedroom furniture before you are married then you should know the difference in dimensions between a double bed . . a queen size bed . . and a king size bed.  And you should also take in consideration the dimensions of the room where that new furniture is going.  Can you really fit a queen size bed, a lady's dresser, a man's dresser, and two night stands in this room?  And after all of that furniture is put into the bedroom, are you going to have room to walk around comfortably?
