Here is an example of a three piece wedding ring set.
The center ring is the lady's wedding ring, the wedding ring is worn closest to the heart (or inside).  The Groom's wedding ring is a duplicate of the lady's wedding ring, just a bit larger in size.
This type of set is usually purchased together.

Hot Dog Reception!

Many years ago, I worked with a Bride who was given a $10,000 wedding budget by her parents.  She selfishly purchased a $5000 bridal gown which left a balance of $5000 to cover everything else.

Question from an engaged couple . .

Do we have to have a theme or color theme for our wedding ceremony and/or reception?

Response . .

No, matter of fact the new theme is "No Theme" which means "anything goes".  The ladies can wear any color or any stye or any length of skirt and the men can wear a tuxedo or a three piece suit or a short sleeve shirt and rolled up kacki pants.  And sometimes, the theme is just the location like "beach wedding".

Question from an engaged couple . .

Where would a wedding ceremony take place on a cruise ship?

Response . .

On the deck or in the ship's chapel (if there is one) or in a lounge or in the library or in a boardroom.
While the wedding couple must be passengers on the cruise ship, most cruise lines with full-service packages include options for friends and family members (their wedding guests) to come on board for an hour or two (before the ship departs) so they can attend the ceremony and/or the reception.


Sunday, July 30, 2017

July 30, 2017

Question from an engaged couple . .
We are going on a cruise with about twenty friends and relatives.  We plan to get married on the deck by the ship's captain before we depart.  Do we need to send our friends and relatives a wedding invitation to our ceremony, they all know our plans?

Response . .
A wedding is a social event.  Yes, all of your friends and relatives should be mailed an invitation to the ceremony and the reception at least four weeks in advance of your wedding date.

Question from an engaged couple . .
Do we have to have a wedding cake?

Response . .
No.  I worked with a Bride a few years ago whose profession was "a wedding cake baker".  The very last thing that she wanted to do was bake a three-tiered cake for her own wedding.  So she made several different kinds of pies and homemade ice cream.

According to "Business Insider" the three most stressful things about planning a wedding are

(1)  Managing the guest list

(2)  Finding the perfect location or venue

(3)  Getting all the planning and work done by your wedding day

I have observed that the longer a couple takes to "plan and organize" their wedding the greater the stress.  And that's because you debate and discuss hiring the photographer, the caterer, the florist, the band, the ceremony location over and over again until one or both of you are weary and irritable.

When a couple decides to get married in thirty days or less, their result is the same as the couple who planned, discussed and worked for eighteen months.

I worked with a couple who did all of their wedding planning on a Wednesday morning for a Saturday afternoon ceremony and reception.  As soon as they found a vendor who said, "Yes" they moved on to the next vendor.  Yes, they hired a cake baker, a caterer, a florist and a musician between 9AM and Noon on a Wednesday.  They also rented an archway and chairs before Noon that day.

  The ceremony and reception took place at their home.  They invited about fifty guests to their wedding.
