		<description><![CDATA[&#160; The first thing the Best Man normally thinks about is the bachelor party.  The bachelor party goes back to ancient Sparta when soldiers would celebrate and feast with the groom and raise money so he could continue to go out and drink with them after his new wife took control of the finances. Of course there&#8217;s the traditional booze and women party.  Grab a roll of ones, or if you really want to confuse them and stand out go to the bank and get a bunch of two dollar bills.  Often you can get the dancers to come to the party if you feel like spending the extra. However the reality is that these parties can get old quick.  Believe it or not unless you&#8217;ve lived a pretty sheltered life chances are paying women to be teases will get boring fast. One of the biggest pitfalls of the bachelor party is thinking you just need to grab a little cash, hit the steakhouse and let the night unfold.  Chances are you&#8217;ll fall back on hitting the strip club until you&#8217;re all too board or drunk and one by one the men will slip away to the comfort of home.

		<description><![CDATA[The couple have chosen to build upon the ancient tradition of handfasting.  To tie the knot, did not start out as an abstract term.  It is a phrase that grew from the act of unions being made by the joining of hands over a village anvil, in the fields, or a group of trees prior to marriage being sanctified in the church.  The knot that binds the hands together symbolizes the bonding of two hearts as on. Woven into this cord are the hopes and wishes of all friends and family as well as the Bride and Grooms’s own for their new life together.  With the fashioning of this knot I will tie all the desires, dreams, love and happiness wished here.  I ask now that you join hands and look into one another’s eyes. Will you share each other’s pain and seek to ease it? Will you both look for the brightness in life and positivity in one another? Will you share the burden of each other so your spirits may grow? Will you dream together, to create new realities and hopes? Will you endeavor to maintain the purity and sacredness of this union? The true knots of this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, and a Sixpence in your Shoe&#8221;. This rhyme originated during Victorian times and is still commonly practiced for good luck. Something Old ~ The &#8220;old&#8221;signifies the hope that the couple&#8217;s friends will stay with them. ~ The &#8220;old&#8221; also symbolizes the bride&#8217;s connection to her past &#8211; a sense of family, continuity and tradition. ~This would traditionally have been the garter of a happily married woman, with the thought being that her good fortune would be passed down along with it. Something New ~ Optimism and Hope for the future. Something Borrowed ~ This is usually a much valued item from the bride&#8217;s family or a close friend. ~ It also reminds the bride that family and friends will always be there for her. ~ By borrowing something from a happily married friend or family member it is a wish for your married life to mirror their happiness (So Choose Carefully!). Remember! &#8211; The borrowed item must be returned to ensure good fortune(not to mention to keep from burning any bridges.). Something Blue ~ Blue represents faithfulness, fidelity and constancy. It is also considered a lucky color in Ireland. ~ In early [...]]]></description>

		<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[Unless you&#8217;ve been to a ton of weddings you probably have no idea of the ceremony order.  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. Processional – The couple and wedding party enter the ceremony room or sanctuary, usually with accompanying music 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. 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.

		<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: _____ 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. 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. 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.

		<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.
