Wedding Favors with Meaning

Wedding favors have been a traditional component to the wedding celebration for hundreds of years.  They are a way to thank your guests for sharing in the joy of your wedding.  Sometimes deciding what to give for a favor can get overwhelming.  I always like to consider the meaning and purpose first.  One of my favorite sayings is, “If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you get there?”  Often if I start by clearly defining the purpose, that alone eliminates half of my options.

Heart Cleaning Before Your Wedding

Entering into a new life in marriage means laying down the old life.  Often, our old life we hold onto is not the life we are living right now but memories and feelings left from the past.  Cleaning our heart is an important step in preparing for this new life.  Clutter from the past interferes in more ways than we realize.  Resentments and bitterness can come out sideways.  We attack our loved ones in the present because we can’t attack those that hurt us in the past.  As we remove these blocks, we have increased freedom to fully live and love in the present.

What about you?  What is cluttering your heart?  What do you need to let go of from the past in order to fully embrace the present? Continue reading Heart Cleaning Before Your Wedding

The New Face of this Website

Many of you may have read my entry, “The Truth About This Website.”

That entry was a crisis of character and a turning point for me.  It brought to a head an internal battle I’ve been fighting ever since I started this site.  I wrote that article almost two weeks ago and I’ve been silent ever since.  I’ve been evaluating things and deciding where to go from here.  Yesterday I made some decisions and changes.

The Truth About this Website

I have had enough. I am at my breaking point and I’m done.

I’ve had this internal conflict going on about this website.

On one hand, I am up to my eyeballs in debt. I was married to an abuser who left me deeply in debt and I’m holding on by a thread. One month we pay the phone bill and the next the electric. We are just barely staying a step ahead of total financial breakdown. And so, I decided to expand my income with this website. Except there’s a problem. Continue reading The Truth About this Website

Start Your Wedding Scrapbook

I wrote here about the importance of having an engagement photo taken. Your wedding experience starts with the engagement. Capture those memories and the entire wedding planning process for a keepsake you’ll cherish for years to come. I highly recommend starting your scrapbook as soon as you can after he proposes.  I look back fondly on the entire planning process, not just the wedding day.  (One of those memories is of my future husband spending six hours in the flower aisle at Michael’s and JoAnne Fabrics trying not to look bored out of his skull.  I married an amazing man.  True love.  Without question.)

The Best Men's Wedding Rings Ever

If your guy is anything like mine, he is going to hard on his wedding ring.  Guys seem to have a way to bang them up.  There is a solution.

Tungsten carbide rings are both beautiful and indestructible.  Literally.

If ten years from now your husband’s ring size changes, you will need to order a new ring because they cannot be modified.  These rings don’t scratch, dent or bend out of shape.  His ring will look as good in twenty years as it does on your wedding day. Continue reading The Best Men’s Wedding Rings Ever
