		<description><![CDATA[Congratulations!  If you&#8217;re reading this it&#8217;s probably because you&#8217;ve recently gotten engaged and now the next decision, what day is best to get Married. There are a lot of things to consider when choosing your day.  Is there a time of year your family gets together regularly, are there dates or seasons your family will be unusually busy?  Is there a date special to you and your fiance, perhaps the first date, engagement date, a special holiday.  And then for the superstitious types here&#8217;s a couple rhymes concerning what month and what day to get married: Month to get married: Married when the year is new, he&#8217;ll be loving, kind &#38; true, When February birds do mate, You wed nor dread your fate. If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow both you&#8217;ll know. Marry in April when you can, Joy for Maiden &#38; for Man. Marry in the month of May, and you&#8217;ll surely rue the day. Marry when June roses grow, over land and sea you&#8217;ll go. Those who in July do wed, must labor for their daily bred. Whoever wed in August be, many a change is sure to see Marry in September&#8217;s shrine, your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day! For us this is our regular date night, you needn&#8217;t wait for just special occasions to plan romantic time together. So did He/She pop the question, if so congratulations! If not don&#8217;t stress out many people don&#8217;t want to be that predictable when proposing. If you are newly engaged I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve got a million things on your mind for the wedding. My number one piece of advice is to remember, the only things that are important is the bride, the groom, the minister, two witnesses and the marriage license. Everything else is fluff. Sure many people want the big dream wedding and these create life long memories, but you can quickly be overwhelmed by the expense of it all. For those who want the big wedding a great resource is http://theknot.com they have a lot of resources and check lists for the big day.

		<description><![CDATA[The vows are the center of most wedding ceremonies. Religious and cultural rituals differ, of course, but if you were to outline a standard service, the ceremony order would look something like this. &#160; Processional – The couple and wedding party enter the ceremony room or sanctuary, usually with accompanying music &#160; Opening remarks – The officiant announces that everyone is there to celebrate the joining of the two of you in marriage; if it’s a religious event he or she may offer a blessing to the congregation. &#160; The “giving away” – If you will have your parents or friends “support you” in your marriage, or if you opt for the tradition of the bride’s father giving her away, that happens now. This is also a time for your officiant and you to acknowledge your friends and family and the importance of their presence. &#160; Statement of purpose/declaration of consent – The officiant asks the two of you whether you are each coming of your own free will to marry each other, and if you are prepared to do so. This is yoru public announcement – to the congregation gathered – of the vows you’re about to take. &#160; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This joining ritual is quite popular tradition at Catholic weddings, but its significance is universal: the joining of the couple as a new family, as well as the merging of their two original families. Usually the officiant will explain the unity candle’s meaning – the following is an example: &#160; _____ and _____, the two separate candles symbolize your separate lives. I ask that each of you take one of the lit candles and that together you light the center candle. &#160; The individual candles represent your lives before today. Lighting the center candle represents that your two lives are now joined to one light, and represents the joining together of your two lives and families to one. &#160; After the candle is lit, your officiant or an honored friend or family member may recite a blessing, such as the following: May the blessing of light Be with you always, Light without and light within. And may the sun shine Upon you and warm your heart Until it glows Like a great fire So that others may feel The warmth of your love For one another. &#160; &#160; Candle Ceremony (Wiccan) &#160; The words of this Wiccan candle ceremony focus [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Triple Ring Exchange (Eastern Orthodox Tradition) The wedding rings are blessed during the betrothal ceremony. After reciting blessings and biblical passages, the priest makes the sign of the cross while holding the rings and declaring the betrothal. He may hold the rings in his hands while pressing the foreheads of the couple three times each. Then, either the priest or the koumbaros (the best man) exchanges the rings between the couple’s fingers three times, signifying that the weakness of one will be compensated by the other. Because the right hand has a rich and symbolic history in the Church, the rings are usually placed on the third finger of the right hand.

		<description><![CDATA[Seven Steps (Hindu tradition) After the couples has taken seven steps around the fire at their ceremony, their bond is sealed, and the following is recited in a ritual, Saptha Padhi. It also makes a beautiful reading on its own. We have taken the seven steps. You have become mine forever. Yes, we have become partners. I have become yours. Hereafter I cannot live without you. Do not live without me. Let us share the joys. We are word and meaning, united. You are thought and I am sound. May the nights be honey-sweet for us; may the mornings be honey-sweet for us; my the earth be honey-sweet for us; may the heavens be honey-sweet for us. May the plants be honey-sweet for us; may the sun be all honey for us; may the cows yield us honey-sweet milk! As the heavens are stable, as the earth is stable, as the mountains are stable, as the whole universe is stable, so may our union be permanently settled.
