their “Tips and Trends” articles for them! Shouldn’t the wedding professionals invent
the trends based upon their practical and expert experiences? I
have said that for years! Even volunteering to write <i>about "All Things Ceremony"</i> for groups like The
Knot! In the end, when a bride attempts to utilize a “Wedding Trend Tip” from a
non-expert Wedding Magazine writer, the professionals, those actually working
with the couples, are inconvenienced! See
below…..? This is one of many examples as to why wedding magazine
conglomerates need our help! Their writers don't appear to have officiated
a wedding ceremony ever! What do they know?</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

made of knotted yarn (called “rya”) are an important part
of a traditional Finnish wedding ceremony? The couple would
say their wedding prayers while kneeling on the colorful
rug and then they later display it in their home.
Today, the hot trend is to take rugs from your favorite design
store or flea market and turn them into your ceremony aisle
(tip: check with friends and family to see if they have any that
might look pretty too!). If you do end up buying them, the best
part is you can totally reuse the rugs in your home later and
they make for easy set-up and clean up. It’s really a win-win. See
the photos of couples who used rugs as aisle runners below!

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At the wedding ceremony
rehearsal, the maid-of-honour says,<b> </b><i>“Hey, I think that it would be really cool
for the wedding officiator to stand with their back to the wedding guests! Don’t
you!” </i> At first, this suggestion
seems to defy convention, and provide an interesting option to the marrying couple. Even gives the illusion of diminishing the perceived
traditional dominance of the officiator in a standard pose and positioning. Without
thinking it through, the bride and groom agree, and arrange accordingly. This
is great, bride and groom will really stand out, the wedding guests will see
them better……! So, what’s wrong with this?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

will more naturally stand out in the pictures. This is also true for the live
audience. Especially, when, the wedding officiator is on the same level as the
guests. And, if there is not much difference in the elevation between the
officiant’s position and the marrying couple. See this publicly posted picture of such a
configuration. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

disaster. Is there a societal expectation which assures a well presented
wedding ceremony? I wish there was! And, if there were, so much of what traffics
itself as a well-written marriage ceremony wording would be banned, and the
seller jailed for indecent verbal exposure! Seems harsh, but really, if you
were able to comment unfettered as “Anonymous” what would you really say?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Recently, a client presented me with local wedding officiator’s
ceremony wording. This officiator was not with our group, as we custom write each of our ceremony
events with the clients. When reading this officiant's ceremony, there were more than a few concerns:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">1.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span></b><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The text was devoid of sectional <i>“Headings</i>”. Important for the one reading to assist in
the flow of presentation. Without “<i>Headings”</i>
it is far too easy for the reading officiator to miss sections, or to import
the wrong feeling to a section. Also, important when working toward the writing
of the final ceremony draft. This, because continuity and flow for reading is
easier to calibrate.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>

</span></span></b><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The ideas presented in the text were out-of-order. Honouring the deceased
groom’s mother toward the end of the ceremony. And, recognizing the couples’
children at an awkward juncture. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span></b><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There were no <i>“Transitional
Statements</i>”. These are necessary, so that what was said before in an
adjoining section, coalesces with the next section’s introduction. It also
prepares the presenting officiator for the next segment, as to verbal cadence
and feeling. Transitional Statements also have other important reasons.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span></b><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There was no “<i>Sign-posting</i>” as
to who said what or whom was being addressed. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span></b><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It was not paginated for oral presentation in any way. Including as to
the size of the print. The print should be larger in the officiator’s
presentation draft. This assists in
reading without omission. Also, the sentences were not “double-spaced”
or sections spaced properly. This also
acts in prevention of missing a word or sentence or segment. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span></b><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The wording was redundant at best. A good ceremony takes hours to write.
Remember my cousin’s quote at the start of this article.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In short, as a former Speech
Professor, currently a Wedding Officiator, the received officiant’s text was a
disaster waiting to happen. In fact, my client was confused. And, this is why this couple was now my
client.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Either people don’t know any better
or don’t expect any more. Let’s face it;
the wedding ceremony has become a formality, something that people hope to get
through! But, say it is not so! The words of a wedding ceremony should be at
least as beautiful as the cake, the bridal gown, and anything else of beauty on
the wedding day. The poor quality wedding ceremony wording and presentation
does not need to be normative. But, in Southern California it is very usual occurrence.

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So, I ask…. What are your suggestions
on making the wedding ceremony more interesting? Should Internet Wedding
Officiator Ordination groups be banned<i>?
(These groups do not require Wedding Officiants to be experts, but profit
through ordaining anyone!)</i> Should professional writers write the wedding ceremonies,
and the officiants simply learn them? Should Wedding Officiants’ be certified
in “Public Speech”? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Our
LegallyMarried & The Clergy Network phone rang. On the dialing end was an <i>officiator
shopping bride. </i>What was this bride's deal breaker? Would she know it was
him or her when she met them? Perhaps, she would have a "<i>good feeling</i>".
Definitely, not wanting a novice or someone without a background check? Right?
Perhaps, it was all about price? Certainly, she wanted to hire a reliable one!
Now, saying that, probably our most popular comment by a marrying couple is,
"<i>We are looking for just the right fit"! </i>After 24 years, one
could imagine how many times this was the recurring descriptive for filling the
officiator position.</span><br />

in a wedding officiator, let's talk. I would like to write a collaborative blog
article with tons of brides about "<i>Just the right fit". </i>I have

He is not going
to propose this year. And, it is o.k.
with you. Your relationship has long since transitioned from newish to a daily public
fact. Never-before-things say, <i>“This is certainly it!”</i> Yet, it is not quite right to say, “<i>Yes” </i>for life. But, those closest are expecting the “<i>big announcement</i>” of marriage. It has
been my experience as Director of Engagement & Proposals at LegallyMarried
and The Clergy Network, to meet couples wanting something significant “<i>in-between</i>”. And, Valentine’s Day seems the best holiday of
the year to take the next step. But, is “<i>Engagement</i>” the only next move? There is
dating, courting, engagement and marriage, right? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Back in the day,
there was a remedy for that <i>“Almost committed
for life feeling”.</i> This <i>“rite of
passage”</i> was a bonafide substantive gesture that promised a future together. This gift and a statement said, “<i>Ours is not a passing fancy”, or, “Until
someone better comes along”.</i> They called it a <i>“Promise Ring”</i>. It wasn’t only the not-so-gainfully unemployed teenagers
that utilized this method of declaring affection. Those a bit older might have
done so too! </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">

<b>Go For It - Throwing An “Almost Getting
Engaged” Party or “Almost Getting Engaged” Dinner<o:p></o:p></b></div>

<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
So, what does
this mean to your Valentine’s Day? Well, for the comic couple, a Valentine’s
Day get-together for the purposes of <i>“Almost
Getting Engaged”</i>, the giving of a promise and ring, has a certain humorous appeal. And, at an “<i>Almost Getting Engaged</i>” romantic dinner, for the serious minded
couple, there is intentional charm, and, a really significant advancing of their
relationship. As a wedding officiator, I
have conducted the simple, but tearfully joyful, <i>“I promise to get engaged someday soon”</i> ceremony before! After the vow is given, the <i>casual relationship</i> is in the distance
of love’s rear view mirror. And, with the gifting of a “<i>Promise Ring or Necklace</i>”, <i>“Becoming
Engaged</i>” is in the not-so-distant horizon. The “<i>Almost Getting Engaged”</i> vow is for the “<i>in-betweeners”</i> needing to take the next step. For some, it is a psychological necessity. For example, while setting the momentum toward
“Engagement”, it focuses each one’s thoughts on more seriously preparing for
marriage together. Or, it might even slow things down to a crawl. Which, until
a couple is really ready to “<i>get engaged</i>”,
may be a good thing! In any event, drawing the <i>romantic line in the sand</i> on Valentine’s Day could be the best
thing that you did for your relationship. </div>

A wedding officiator can be
interesting. Along with skill and
experience, perhaps, a little “free spirited” tempered by dedication and
discipline. After all “free spirit” makes him or her creative, and the
discipline makes them reliable. With a
“flexible” soul, a good officiator would preside the most quirky to the most
predictably practical ceremony themes. And, that is exactly the type that one
looks for when you are a grandmother and grandfather eloping to Starbucks. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Today, the same Celebrity Wedding
Officiator, whose co-officiator was once actor Rob Lowe, dashed off to the Orange
County Clerk to pick up a marriage license. </b>
And, from there, then off to a local Southern California Starbucks. Dr.
Brian waited to meet a very much in a hurry grandmother bride and a grandfather
groom. For this celebrity officiator, this was not his first Starbucks’
wedding. This grandmother bride, taking
a short absence from her pregnant daughter-in-law’s bedside, was not at
Starbucks for a frappuccino! All she wanted to hear was <i>“I Do”</i> and “<i>I now pronounce that
you husband and wife….!”</i> Perhaps, this couple would not have chosen a
Starbucks in which to marry, but “<i>Life
Happened”!</i> With a daughter-in-law’s
delicate pregnancy, simple but profound was the order. None-the-less, our celebrity
officiator found himself marrying a very appreciative couple. They didn’t plan
their wedding for a year. No, they didn’t spend thousands of dollars, but,
their chosen priority to be married before the grand baby arrived, meant
more. So, in this crowded Starbucks, to
grandma and grandpa, a moment so private, that they didn’t even kiss in the
presence of coffee drinking strangers. It
was a sacred but brief ceremony at Starbucks for these two, and our officiator
treated it with the love and respect it deserved. Soon, this couple will be helping to change
lots of diapers, but as a married grandmother and grandfather!</div>

<b>An Article about
Marriage Promise Making & Keeping!</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>By Celebrity Wedding Officiator, Dr. Linda - <a href="http://www.facebook.com/legallymarried">www.facebook.com/legallymarried</a>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Dear Bride or Groom, if the title
of the article makes you hesitant to read on, don’t worry, <i><b>“Me”</b></i> can be a good or bad thing.
In your impending marriage, it is your choice as to the kind of <i><b>“Me”</b></i> you
wish to be! <i>Pre-Marital Counseling</i>……What
about it? Well, you might be an advocate
of “<i>Pre-Marital</i>” counseling as it could reinforce the “<i>green light”</i> towards marriage. Maybe, you’re staunchly against <i>“Pre-Marital”</i> counseling, especially if
it leads to breaking up. Besides, it is just downright plain nosey and useless! At this article’s start, know that the government just might think they need to help you <i>“see the light”!</i> Let’s face
it, with consequences having actions, all people make stellar or ignorant or
innocent or disastrous choices. Some conclusions
are foreseen, while others unforeseen. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Let’s be more specific! Do you
learn from your mistakes? Perhaps, you
possess the foresight to <i>“obey”</i> that nagging
hunch? As it stands now, American societal
norms are complicated, unpredictable or hazily decipherable at best. On the
dark side, however, somewhat “<i>twisted</i>”!
Quite possibly, there is a remnant wanting to believe the best about others,
but, history has repeated itself! This can be a sad state of affairs. As it
applies to “<i>getting married</i>”, a
person the wiser might secretly hire a private detective to <i>“check out”</i> their intended! And, don’t forget the <i>“Pre-Nuptial Agreement”!</i> Who
is this person that you are marrying anyway?
With the predominant divorce rate, cited by newscasters, at <b><i>60
percent</i></b>, where do we go next? </div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Realistically, at some point the
marital mishaps of so many couples do affect the innocent, the unsuspecting and the unwilling others. Note, a reported divorce rate of <b><i>60
percent</i></b> is no small number! Included in the sizable grouping of affected
“<i>others”</i> are the Federal, State and
Local governments. So, yes, who you
marry does become the business of others!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So what is the government doing
to combat the assault? There are the governmental committees or studies on “<i>Marriage</i>”, special publications, even “<i>Covenantal”</i> marriage licenses. In
Colorado, there is the suggested legislation which will mandate <i>“Pre-Marital</i>” counseling for all wishing
to wed. No marriage license for you, until you make the effort to learn about successful
marriage! Behind this, is the idea that <i>knowledge
about a thing invokes right decision making</i>. But, does it always? And, could obligatory <i>“Pre-Marital”</i> counseling become a state to state trend?</div>

The Colorado law would require <b><i>10 “Pre-Marital”</i></b>
counseling sessions for the <i>first time</i>
marrying. To the <i>“second-timers”</i> there
are <b><i>20
mandated “Pre-Marital”</i></b> sessions. Lastly, to those wedding for a <b><i>third
or more times</i></b>, there is the required series of <b>30</b> <b>“<i>Pre-Marital”</i></b>
sessions. So, how is this idea faring
with people of the marrying variety? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Generally speaking,</b> the purest proponent
of <i>“Pre-Marital</i>” counseling firmly
believes it to be an ideologically good move. It also has is practical advantages. Some suggesting that access to this kind of
expert knowledge gives a couple the powers to confirm their choice of marital
partner. An informed assurance brought
by learning outside subjective feelings and affections. But, also supported by right affections too! After
all, is this not the most important decision in life? Singularly powerful in its
ability to bless or burden others? Pre-empting divorce and related heartache has
it evident positives. Especially in a “<i>Marriage Friendly</i>” counseling atmosphere,
whereby a couple is free to talk about things. Beyond this, when couples hash
out the “<i>red flags</i>” before walking
the altar, this saves the courts time and money with the lessening casualties
of divorce.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>For the opposed,</b> “<i>Stay out of my business!”</i>! Some just prefer limited government intrusion<i>.</i> Other disagreements are by virtue of the
principle which promotes living life on each individual’s own terms. Then, there is the four times married news
commentator hating the idea, just because she claims to already have learned from
her past mistakes. Even if a couple is
amenable to <i>“Pre-Marital”</i> counseling,
they may detest state mandated sessions. Rejected is the “<i>Good-Guy”</i> disguise of the government, with their real intention to
make money or to control! Don’t forget the resultant <i>“Pre-Marital”</i> cottage industry. The smell of “<i>money in the making</i>” can be much like “<i>blood in the water</i>” to the hungry shark. In this case, of course
these players would be for state mandated “<i>Pre-Marital</i>”
counseling!</div>

Educator, Writer & Professor. Admittedly,
my background in human behavior is a plus when working with couples setting
their sights on settling down for life. Let me share with you what I know.
<b><i>Firstly</i></b>, a bride’s or groom’s marriage vows shout <i>“This will last!”</i> or, <i>“This
is doomed from the start”! </i>Not just in
what they say, but through what they don’t say! Not only in their completed vows wording,
but during their collecting of words. Then, there is the wedding ceremony planning meeting.
- <i>If the groom accompanies the bride
willingly, that is positive. If the groom and bride agree on most ceremony matters,
that can be a good sign. If the groom is right in there asking for help “saying
it in the best manner!” this shows interest and character. On the wedding day, if bride or groom is drunken
out-of-their mind, numbing them from the true joys of the monumental moment…
then? And so forth.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Finally, now that you know, that we know</b>, perhaps a second or third
or fourth educated and experienced hand will put you happily on to your
marriage journeying? Certainly, learning about successful marriage is a smart
and beneficial idea! Despite popular opinion, studies seem to indicate that living
together before marriage is not the glowing determiner of one’s choice for a
life-long companion. Ask anyone on their
5<sup>th</sup> or 6<sup>th</sup> <i>“live – in housemate”! </i> Situating yourself for life, as a person of pleasant
character and remaining willing to learn through love’s tough or tender fixes is
something for which to aspire. Fore go
the excessive computer gaming or shopping or attending of sports rallies. Side
on the “<i>better odds”,</i> reconfiguring the
time before playing “<i>Here Comes The Bride</i>”
to the preparation needed for “<i>marriage
blissful”!</i> “<i>Pre-Marital”</i> counseling, coupled with other taken-to-heart learning
opportunities, can be wholly advantageous. Even before becoming engaged, inspire the lifelong
mindset which allows the refresher learning already known to the couple celebrating
their <b><i>50<sup>th</sup></i></b> wedding anniversary. <b><i>Happy Pre-Marital Counseling</i></b>! </div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Purchasing Your California Marriage License? It Is The Little Fees That Add Up!</span></strong><br />
<br />
In 2014 what about “all things” wedding ceremony, marriage license and name change? Let’s look at one first Marriage License Fee Change For This Year!<br />
<br />
California - <em><strong>How Much Does It Cost To Obtain An Official Copy of My 2014 Marriage License?</strong> </em>Its official… the cost per “Certified Copy” of a Marriage License is $15.00. With the average last name changing couple needing about 5 certified copies, this may be a pricey investment. As a Celebrity Wedding Officiator in Southern California, I can recall more than one marrying couple requesting about 15 certified copies for financial, medical and other verification purposes. I also know of couples, who, when requesting “Certified Copies” of their marriage license record, did so with out dated forms. Also, accompanying the requested form, was the last year’s related fees. Of course, this resulted in return of the request and delay in name change notification paperwork. – Certified Copies of the Marriage License are mandatory proofs in last name change due to marriage.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">State Marriage Fees Verses County Marriage Related Fees</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The State of California's fee changes related to marriage documentation are separate and distinct from each California county's service fees. The fee hikes from the state, usually begin on January 1st each year. But, the county related marriage fee hikes, occur somewhere between January and March of each year. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/legallymarried">This is one of many facts our officiators are trained to know.

<strong>Quick Thought For Your 2014 Wedding Ceremony & The Danger of An In-Experienced or Unknowlegdable Wedding Officiator</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A wedding officiator should know about “things official”, but most don’t take the time to learn or be informative. Why? Because many southland wedding officiators didn’t go to university to become career ceremony presenters. They shortcut all of the important education and practice that legitimizes and perfects their craft. Also, they often do not have the inclination to advance through education.This means that you are hiring a wedding officiator that knows less than you! One who is only officiating for pocket change or until they get the big break in another field. TCN is the only professional wedding officiator group in the area with degrees in the field, and thousands of weddings presided. This means you will be well informed about the “official things” ! Hire a LegallyMarried or The Clergy Network wedding officiator in California and learn about new marriage related fee changes, compliments of the State and County governments. Attending County Clerk meetings by special invitation, keeps us informed, and can give us important information before other wedding officiants. <span style="font-size: large;">

what about the amount due back? The downed registered highlighted the fact,
that the retail clerk didn’t know how to count the required change due at the
end of the transaction!</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">- </span><i style="line-height: 115%;">She had never learned how to do this! </i><span style="line-height: 115%;">This
article is about something like this. If you don’t read this article, then you
prove my point. And, if you do, perhaps we can talk about smartening up the
wedding industry, and inspiring thoughtful brides through providing great
wedding planning learning platforms via Internet.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 115%;">A cursory Internet review of keywords related to “<i>wedding articles</i>” left me briefly
stunned. Mind you, an exhaustive or
detailed survey could render a different yield. But, at present, the findings
seem to suggest far more interest in wedding related reading amongst the English,
Australian, Canadian and New Zealand peoples! Or, at the very least, even if
not true, certainly, these countries' citizens seem more aggressive at bringing content
to the top of search engine recognitions. Also, not a scientific experiment,
certainly there are variables or exceptions to consider. <span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">Moreover, when coupling the above with anecdotal experience,
I find cause to further wonder. If this generation’s American bride is not
devoted to education through reading…. And, if the American wedding professional
is not locked into professional growth through writing, discussing and reading....
then, how do they learn? Is it possible that
American brides or their wedding professionals are not convinced about learning
this way? Nor, that some of the most impressive and imperative learning comes
from organized ideas and facts formed into word communications? <span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<i><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A prominent national

<span style="line-height: 115%;">“We offered to write blog articles for wedding professionals,
and at no charge. But, the value of the
offer failed them. Then, looking at their blogs or Facebooks’ or other social
networking efforts…. Well, they were not even well plotted or tended verbal
gardens. Vacant and filled with nothing, or something looking much like verbal
weeds. Also, there were no signs of
life, like that often seen through the participation of others stopping by for
a good discussion, or to procure some new wedding planning insight. There were
few or no comments, discourses, objections, etc. Why?”<br /> </span><span style="line-height: 115%;"></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">Moreover, we too even offered career wedding service
providers and brides the opportunity to </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">add to our articles, or help us write
relevant ones. But, only a few takers! Don’t get me wrong, our articles are
read. It is more the lack of participatory interest that is glaring! Collaboration
is a wonderful way to accomplish many important goals through teamwork. And, if
you are reading this article, I don’t need to tell you this. In fact, for those who have participated, thank you. Professionals, such as <i>Wedding Manners </i>expert, <i>Maria Erdman</i> and <i>Healthy Bride Nutritionist</i> <i>Donna Schuller</i> are a few of the exceptional experts who have collaborated with some fine article writing. With new articles scheduled for the future.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">For the American bride, is it really true that she just doesn’t
want to learn in this way? Perhaps, she thinks a simple “Internet search” will
make her a wedding expert! Or, is she just the product of a failed school
system, which does not emphasize the basics, while, at the same time, ascribing
a “<i>god-like</i>” self worth to her that
leaves an unwitting bankruptcy? </span></blockquote>

<b><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Why Read Wedding
Articles? Just a Few Thoughts, Please Help Me Add to the List:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>1.</b> We are wired to learn. <i>So
learn</i>! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>2</b>. We find joy in learning. <i>So be joyful</i>!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>3</b>. We mature through discussion & thought. <i>So grow & discuss</i>!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>4</b>. We pass on good information to the next generation. <i>So pass it on!<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>5</b>. We avert mistakes, by learning from those who didn’t dodge
them. <i>So do it rightly!</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>6.</b> We are exposed to things that we did not know. - <i>Giving us new things to try</i>. <i>So, try something new!</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>7</b>. We learn from experts, determining what is outside our
reach, makes us wise consumers – <i>This helps
the non-expert to direct time and efforts and expectations accordingly.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>8.</b> It is a wedding professionals obligation to advise, and
writing about their subject is a vehicle. <i>So,
advise!</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>9</b>. It is a part of a bride’s wedding planning enjoyment. So,
enjoy!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>10</b>. Generally, reading energizes critical thinking. Critical
thinking is “<i>valuable livings</i>” advisory
tool, medicine, and protector!<span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>11</b>. It encourages and develops creativity while participating in a planning endeavour. <i>So, be creative!</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Let’s add more…. Your thoughts?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Concluding Thoughts</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">There is a lot to learn that must be placed in print, so to
speak. – <i>Both for the one writing, and
the one reading!</i> Not to mention how amazing the wedding planning experience
could be, if done in an educated manner. So, wedding professionals, how shall
we teach them? How shall we learn without discussion and the important
interpersonal communication of writing and reading? Brides, when planning a wedding, thinking
about things is beneficial. And doing
that through reading wedding articles or contributing to a written discussion
can propagate a sort of “<i>Wedding Planning
Nirvana</i>”. <span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 115%;">About This Article</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> – </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Why aren’t they reading wedding articles? My article is
not a rant, but, about an observation. It is about the potential loss of
something valuable, both for the wedding professional and the wedding planning
bride. Take time to write, read and discuss wedding articles, then share the
joy of learning with others. Wedding professionals make the wedding industry
what it could be through increasing knowledge and understanding, while honing
your skill set. Through the reading of wedding articles, brides explore the
wedding planning process by acquiring new ideas, facts and interests. Make the
journey to the wedding aisle interesting and memorable. If not for any other
reason, your first grade reading teacher would be proud! Use it or lose it!<span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<i>“MacGyver</i>”, was a world-wide sensation. Children wanted to be a “<i>MacGyver</i>”. The <i>MacGyver</i>
character’s </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 200%;">main assets were his utilitarian application of scientific
knowledge and inventive use of everyday items – along with his always near
Swiss Army knife. </span></span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This American
action-adventured television series encouraged my like inclinations too. In
fact, I am a sort of “<i>MacGyver</i>”
wedding officiator – researching the science of a matter and finding
an inventive use for it within a marriage ceremony. Shouldn’t all wedding
ceremony writers be a kind of “<i>MacGyver”</i>? </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 200%;">I was reminded of the “<i>MacGyver</i>”
character today, and how his skills could revolutionize the event industry. Whether
planning a wedding reception or a marriage ceremony….. A “<i>MacGyver</i>” wedding coordinator or a “<i>MacGyver</i>” wedding officiator has its merits. While sitting with a bride and groom, the “<i>MacGyver</i>” in me was again inspired. There, this marrying couple and I began to build
the sentimentally profound words of their marriage ceremony. And, then, the
bride remembered her Grandmother Stella’s love for the hummingbird. - <i>A
granddaughter’s love recollects the sweetest things, and this was one of
them. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 200%;">So, like a “<i>MacGyver</i>”
of the wedding officiator variety, I set myself to the task of inventively finding
a way to honour Grandmother Stella. And,
along this creative road, I learned about the hummingbird. This week, Lesli is married. As Grandma Stella is verbally revered, my
efforts are to be well rewarded by the tears of gratitude from so many. This is
my wedding gift to the bride, and it would make Grandmother Stella smile. - <i>She is not lost forever.</i> <i>Not out-of-mind.</i> <i>Certainly, not far from her granddaughter’s loving heart.</i></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 200%;">Today, having just about finished the <i>Hummingbird Tribute</i> to Grandma Stella, I sat with a recently
engaged couple. As wedding musicians,
they had seen many officiators, but, none like me. As we composed the words and
developed the ideas of their marriage ceremony, they were stunned. They had their <i>“MacGyver</i>” wedding officiator, and this was a good thing. We have already begun working on some new
ideas, which will be shared later. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Sometimes the smallest things can change our lives, and
bring the sweetest recollections. It is
that “<i>small thing</i>” which makes us
smile or laugh or tear joyfully. On this wedding day, there is a “<i>smallest thing</i>” that inspires strong and
happy sentiments for <b>Lesli</b> of her <b>Grandma Stella – </b>That<b> “<i>smallest
thing</i>”,</b> the <b>“hummingbird<i>”</i></b>!<b><i> </i></b>Grandma
Stella loved her hummingbird visitors.<b> </b>Each
one, with its eighty times per second fluttering of wings and humming
noises. <i>Their flying left, right, backwards, upside down or in a figure eight. </i>With
their minuscule hummingbird hearts, each one with its <i>1, 260 heart beats per minute</i>. <b> </b>These tiny creatures provided countless
hours of pure delight to<b> </b>Grandma
Stella.<b> </b>Their beautiful iridescent
colours and visual displays brought Stella such pleasure. So, on this joy - filled occasion, how
fitting to remember <b>Grandma Stella</b>
and her hummingbirds………. ! All of what she loved, silently and sentimentally
influences this minute. The shear memory of her brings a fuller inspiration to this<b> </b>marriage. At this threshold moment of
marrying, <b><i>Lesli </i></b>wanted you to know about her heart of love for Grandma
Stella, and, how she holds close her memory. These “<i>snapshots in time”</i> go happily into her future. And, today, smile
along with her too -- <i>for with any luck</i>--
<i>a hummingbird might pass this way</i>. –
A sort of <i>“kiss from the heavens”</i>
and a gift from Grandma Stella, on the occasion of her granddaughter’s wedding
day." </span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">(Copyright Dr. Linda – 2013)<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<h2>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">Part 1 - Series - An article
to inform Wedding Services Professionals</span></b></h2>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wedding professionals, due to my last few days on bride populated Internet social networking sites, “<i>madness</i>” has requested its domination. Of course, I refuse to say, “<i>Yes” </i>to its invitation to torment! Suffice it to say, event professionals, we may be in trouble! If your marrying couples are “<i>High Enders”</i>, perhaps this article is not for you. But, it could be. For those many wedding service providers delirious to find work at all or simply attracting the <i>average</i> bride, please join this series’ discussion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">News outlets have studied the <i>unfavourable</i> bonds formed within Social Media. Just today, a woman's Facebook post, featuring an image of her toned physique and her 3 young children, was barraged by <i>15,000 "name callers" (</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;"><i>predominantly women)!</i></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> And, for what? This young woman simply suggested it possible to be healthy and a mother of three young boys! Within a news story about this Facebook woman, the female commentator offered some descriptive words, often posted about herself, by social networking <i>"name callers</i>"! - <i>Such as "whale", "elephant", "gorilla", and the like. This news anchor also admitted a struggle with her body weight.</i> To take a big leap, it seems that there is a viciousness inherent within this generation's <i>Social Networking Culture, </i>and it makes these women's experiences more normative than isolated.<i> So, how does this translate within the "Wedding Planning Industry"? </i>In keeping up with the world outside The Knot or Wedding
Wire, there is an entire universe of engaged women, who might have possibly been
brought to earth by sadistic alien beings! Let me describe our experience on just
one of the more popular social networking <i>“Mods”</i> forums. My reason for keeping
up with the </span><i style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">new, newest and newer</i><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> of
the monstrously growing Internet social cafés might be different from yours,
but you still need to know. This new kind of bride may be coming through your doors very soon. Here we are, never thinking that this group of wedding professionals would write about such a thing! - <i>Especially, as birthed by their own
experiences!</i></span></span></div>

the kind of things that go on.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It is enough

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Let me introduce you to the first bride. She was a sort of a <i>“Greeter, Gangland Style</i>!” Within, just a few moments of posting an informative article for discussion, her response: “Get off of our site you
########! You are spamming, you ########.... We don’t want you here!” Now, do bear
in mind, there is no sign on this forum which says, “<i>Die Wedding Vendor Die!”</i> But, if she had fired a gun at me, I would be
deceased! Seriously, what is wrong with
this bride? Apart from possessing only a "<i>four letter word vocabulary"</i>! What is this "<i>false sense of territory</i>"? Why is she so naturally "<i>hostile</i>"? What are her mental and emotional issues? This was a <i>“Gun Moll</i>” of the <i>“Bride Variety”! ... And, she had followers!</i></span></div>

Now, don’t laugh but, I simply posted a link to an original article that was thoughtfully researched and compiled! Bringing to the light, a true concern for marrying couples. And, then asked if anyone would like to discuss it with me! Even inviting brides to help by adding to it also. This article's ideas were </span></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">posited by me, a human behaviourist, caring person, and devout wedding professional.

Crystal-clear were their messages of
contempt for my 24 years of wedding experience and education. (A “<i>Bully Bride</i>” actually wrote, <i>“I am an expert…. I have been planning my

<b>October 11, 2013 </b>- <i>United States </i>- <b>Maria Erdman</b>, an expert in "<i>Table Manners" offers this true story as a part of our series on "Wedding Manners". <a href="http://www.seeseelifestyle.com/"> www.seeseelifestyle.com</a></i><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">She was British, and she was royal. At a dinner party Princess Anne spent the entire meal talking about
horses with one of her dinner companions. Throughout the meal, beyond passionate about horses, this royal ignored her other dinner table neighbor. Until that moment when, the princess turned to him to ask for the sugar. At her request, the slighted man put two lumps of
sugar on his open palm and held them out to her!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Depending upon your vantage point, the ignored table companion either demonstrated his dismay with a well placed correction or with an out-of-order admonishment. Whether a graphic plea for acknowledgement, or something more derogatory... <i>Point Well Taken!</i> Does this kind of scenario bring back an <i>"I am invisible" </i>moment for you too? In an uncomfortable way, I too have been the victim of "S<i>ocial Dismissal" </i>at the wedding reception table. So too, at a wedding rehearsal and on a ceremony day. In fact, at a recent celebrity wedding, <b><i>"Invisible"</i></b> was my middle name! Whether the<i> "Brave New World of Technology Dependence</i>" is the culprit or the flawed "<i>Child-Rearing" </i>of the <i>"Hippie Generation</i>", it just is that way! But, it does not need to remain in this flagrant state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Be it self - absorbed</i> or<i> insecure.</i>.... <i>Single - tracked or Scattered.</i>.... or whatever disposition, the "<i>Invisible Ones"</i> at your wedding should certainly find their voice. Whether you consider yourself their <i>good friend </i>or an exceptional <i>bride - hostess,</i> it is your joyful responsibility to foster an inclusive wedding environment. So, how do we change the American culture on this regard? This is a good question which requires a big answer! So, let's just start with your wedding!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Firstly</i></b>, I will start off with a few suggestions, adding to the article with your ideas as we go along. This will be a "<i>Wedding Manners" </i>collaborative article. We will even give you a link credit for your accepted story or manners suggestion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1.<i> Study the "Art of Inclusion" -</i></b> At a social event or business mixer, pay attention to the presence of those around you. The <i>"Invisible Ones"</i> don't need to remain unseen. You can be that "<i>first hand-shake" </i>of acceptance!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2.</b> <b><i>Outside Your Familiar Social Circle</i></b>, find a common ground of interest, or invest a few minutes in discovery of another's passions. Generally speaking, human beings like to learn, and enjoy communicating their treasured information. Also, there is great satisfaction in acknowledging the value of others. Even those across the room, or standing by the guest table, etc. have a story to tell you. - A story with your name on it! Who knows, this here-to-fore "<i>Invisible One"</i> might mention something that they read about a recent <i>"Medical Cure" </i>or that invites some other solution in your own life. Perhaps, you may meet <i>Mr Right</i> or <i>Miss. Right</i> or, that "<i>Friend for Life". </i>When at a social event, become known for your character and class, choose to participate outside your familiar inner circle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3</b>. As the bride, discuss your requirement of "I<i>nclusive Enjoyment" </i>for all wedding guests. - <i>From the reception Master of Ceremony or D.J., to your Wedding Planner. As a Wedding Officiator, here in Southern California and as an International Wedding Ceremony Writer, I have many suggestions on <b>"How to Include Family & Friends In The Ceremony Moment!"</b> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/legallymarried">www.facebook.com/legallymarried </a></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>4. </b>Simply the <i>"Thoughtful Thing To Do"</i>, assign each table a host and/or hostess. - <i>Those selected should have an inclusive nature</i>.- This will facilitate natural lively conversation and enjoyment at their table of influence. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5.</b> Simply the "<i>Thoughtful Thing to Do", assign a person to attend to those wedding professionals providing services at your ceremony and reception. </i>Greet them at their arrival, thank them at their departure. Sometimes, on a hot wedding day, the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/legallymarried">Wedding Officiator</a> could sure use a cold glass of water<i> (That would be me)!</i></div>

Recently, after my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/legallymarried">Bravo T.V. wedding ceremony for The Reality Show - </a><i><a href="http://www.facebook.com/legallymarried">The Real Housewives of Orange County Tamra & Eddie</a>, </i>I received a number of compliments regarding the kindness and grace in my voice and in my deportment. Also, that these traits are not ones manufactured. Wedding or Celebrations Manners are more much more than <i>"have to", </i>they are public expressions of what a person values, and who they are or want to become. </div>

Southern California night, then, note a brightly lit structure in the distant
hills. And, now, imagine a second one, almost exactly like the first – <i>With one structure parallel to the other,
just on different hills</i>. Passing
through a chain of <i>green lights,</i> you
travel towards both hill-side palaces, just as it has quickly slipped into the
night with the brightness of the sun replaced by twinkling party lights.
Choosing the left gate and ascending the hill is altogether festive. There, along
with the tender breezes at the top, are happily racing parking attendant-greeters
and an amazing view of the Catalina Islands. Yet, as majestic as this moment
might be, you are there to work! </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Early, as usual, you exit
your automobile. Immediately, you navigate the people crowded entrance, walk straight
past the wedding venue’s hostess, and right down to the ceremony area.
Surveying the layout, saying “<i>hello”</i>
to the other wedding vendors, doing a microphone “<i>sound – check”</i>, and, so forth. There, diligently going through your
pre-ceremony paces, always competent, helpful, and organized. – <i>But, then, it happens, you hear the marrying
couple’s first and last names mentioned</i>….. Oops, your innocent mistake hits
hard, much like that childhood “<i>belly
flop”</i> on a swimming pool’s hard watery surface. And, under your breath, you
say, <i>“I am on the wrong hill!”</i> Now, you are not the usual “<i>Wedding Crasher”,</i> because you are a “<i>Wedding Officiator</i>!” This kind of crashing is excusable, and even humorous,
especially if it is by a diligent and legitimate marriage officiant. <b>Note</b>: <i>By the way,
exiting quickly, but still early, the real officiator of this true story found her

time-block. In fact, as a wedding officiator, scouting out my contracted ceremony
event, I have innocently walked into the wrong already happening reception and been greeted
warmly by the unsuspecting! It is just that easy to do! So, what about the new
wedding crasher? Are they drawn to the open bar and passed hors d'oeuvres at a wedding
cocktail hour? Maybe, the monetary treasures in envelopes ready for picking on
the gift table? Perhaps, he or she is using your wedding day much like a “<i>dating service”.</i> Certainly, there could be those.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

becomes corporal, much like punishing the whole fifth grade class just because
of one obsessively pesky student transgressor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The experts say today’s
“<i>Wedding Crasher”</i> is getting in on
the lower price connected with a block of rooms for a wedding or a corporate
event. Apparently, rates are steeper during high-demand times such as wedding
season or a busy convention period. And the wickedly resourceful know it. This crime
of a “<i>stow-away</i>” or <i>“camouflaged</i>” wedding guest is so easily
perpetrated. In fact, it is the 68 percent of the marrying engaged, with their
public wedding websites doing the “<i>aiding
and abetting</i>”. How you might ask?<span style="color: #424858; font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<h2>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">The Good Thing That Is Also The Bad Thing </span></span></b></h2>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 23.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The simple act of the on-line
posting of important wedding organizational details for genuine wedding guest
attendees is the culprit. For those <i>“devious for a discount”,</i> a wedding
website provides guest information, such as where to book rooms and deal codes
that often are not password-protected. Crashing a block is easy enough to do
with just a quick search for "<i>wedding
block</i>," <i>(along with a location
and date),</i> yielding potential dozens of examples</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 23.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Wedding website
couples, not-to-worry, and hotel purveyors don’t punish the “<i>whole for the few”.</i> Even though “c<i>rashers”</i> fly under the radar, it is easy to determine if one is a
victim. Together, with a representative of the hotel hosting your wedding
guests, go through the names in your discounted block regularly. If you don’t
recognize a name or two, just let them know. If your “<i>discount code”</i> was used by a “<i>Wedding
Crasher</i>”, the hotel might suggest the typical protocol for this offense. <span style="color: #424858;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 23.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Finally, a bit of a warning too </i>… Realize that Hotels aren't overly concerned
about crashers, as it's better to sell a room than have it go empty. So,
engaged couples, this leaves it to you to thwart interlopers. Do be diligent to
catch any c<i>rashers</i> in your room
blocks. Too many couples <i>“asleep at the
wheel”</i> could result in legitimate guests' paying higher rates or being
unable to book at all. Those not-caught uninvited can also leach right under
your nose. Perhaps, even padding the bill for things you might pay for per head
for your guests, such as breakfast, shuttle use or gift placed in rooms.
Certainly, there may be other un-intended consequences. So, for all of us
innocents, <i>Happy “Wedding Crasher” sleuthing</i>! </span><br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">October 3, 2013 - United States - </i><span style="font-weight: bold;">A True Wedding Story </span><i style="font-weight: bold;"> - </i>It was about 9 p.m.. Lisa, a bride-to-be, and Dr. Linda were to go over wedding ceremony details via telephone. Lisa answered her cell-phone, almost as if out-of-breath, her exhaustion ruminated. <i>"How are you Lisa", said Dr. Linda....Lisa answered, "I am exhausted... So tired, even if I get sleep, my engine is running low!" </i> Dear reader, Lisa is not the only bride on the verge of collapse! The tired state of a bride is a common theme in the <i>"getting married"</i> community. Work and school and wedding planning, or "<i>just life" </i>and wedding planning has deleterious effects on even the <i>"good-natured</i>" and <i>"well-healthed</i>" engaged woman. From "W<i>hat colour lipstick, nail and toe polish should I wear?" </i>to <i>"I want you to be my wedding officiator, Dr. Linda"</i>, the research, going here and there, and the decision making aligned with the over-all wedding planning is physically debilitating. As a bride "<i>treads water"</i> or <i>"wades"</i> through the planning process, she becomes simply beat! So, if a common problem, why don't we see more about this?</div>

I think, in all of living, as in planning a wedding, the <i>"becoming healthy or keeping healthy" </i>is not something that is practiced overall. Personally, I have studied Naturopathic Medicine for over 25 years. In basic terms, this is the study of encouraging the human body's own ability to repair or to continue in a healthier state. Lisa, my bridal client, needed this kind of help, and now! What bride-to-be doesn't want lovely skin on her wedding day, or whiter teeth or.....? It is a fact, when in physical pain or discomfort, a person does not enjoy their day in the same way, as when pain-free! And, every bride should enjoy their wedding planning and their wedding day. </div>

In starting with the "<i>pillar of the wedding planning endeavour",</i> the bride..... May I introduce to you..... Nutritionist Donna Schuller. In our newest edition, <i>Donna</i>, as a Health & Wellness expert, will bring <i>"Healthy Bride Wedding Planning" </i>tips to our Wedding Social Network. She has been a bride, mother of two brides and of the groom <i>(one more son to go!), </i>also<i> </i>is a wellness coach - <i> This is a perfect combination of experience and learning</i>!<br />

<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
"I've been a parent at three of my four grown children's weddings
so far. I have been married for almost twenty-nine years. I know from
experience that when you're planning a wedding there's a lot to
consider. Starting with yourself and your spouse-to-be. Are you on the 'same
page' when it comes to body, mind, soul health? Do you have similarly
aligned goals and aspirations for the future? Is your spiritual life
active and do you agree on how to raise a family when it comes to
religious teachings? Do you take care of your physical body by
exercising regularly and do you agree most of the time on healthy food
choices? Are you carrying any heavy 'baggage' into the relationship as
it pertains to unresolved issues with your family-of-origin? Remember:
what doesn't get worked out gets acted out. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">Although as the saying goes, "opposites attract", it is important
that you are not opposite when it comes to issues regarding your
overall health. Make sure that you are both committed in achieving
and maintaining health in all three areas of your person before you tie
the knot. Remember that the person you marry is the person you get!
You can do very little to change them so start aligning yourselves for
total body, mind, soul health before the big day. The great news is
this: you have come to this website to gain knowledge and insight so
that your future together can be all that you want it to be.
Congratulations!" </span></blockquote>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">Hundreds of years separate the 1969’s <i>“Wedding Bell Blues</i>” bitter- sweet saga
from the tender symbolism of an English woman’s “<i>Wedding Bell Blue”</i>. Not
related at all, is one <i>“blue” </i>to
another “<i>blue”.</i> With the English custom of <b><i>“Something
Blue”</i></b> are its companions “<i>Old, New,
Borrowed, and A Sixpence in the Bride’s Shoe.”</i> – <i>(“Sixpence” is an old form of British coinage).</i> - <i>Each selected item has its succinctly
punctuated wedding symbolisms. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">This bridal tradition of “<i>Something Blue”</i> comes from an Old
English rhyme <i>("Something Olde,
Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, A Sixpence in your
Shoe").</i> Each <i>“Something”</i> is an object added to the
wedding outfit or, to be carried with the bride as wedding day good luck
charms. <b><i>Something old</i></b> represents
continuity; <b><i>something new</i></b> offers optimism for the future; <b><i>something
borrowed</i></b> emblems borrowed happiness; <b><i>something blue</i></b> stands for
purity, love, and fidelity; and a <b><i>sixpence in your shoe</i></b> is a wish for
good fortune and prosperity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

genuine. - <i>Whether, due to ethnic
identification or fascination, or resultant of family tradition</i>. Showing off
your sentimental choices is something that brides or their mothers do not often
think about. As a bride what is significant to you, and why, is not always
noted by wedding day others. But, do announce the traditions, as guest may find
added enjoyment in your selection of meaningful things, such as “<i>Something Blue”.</i> It will educate, make it interesting, give
them something to discuss with others, and by “passing it on” bring added value
to another’s future wedding planning. <span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<b>Facebook Discussion of "Something Blue"</b> Dr. Linda Officiated Real Housewives of Orange County Wedding of Tamra and Eddie Bravo T.V. on June 15th 2013</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently, after my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/legallymarried">Bravo T.V. wedding ceremony for The Reality Show - </a><i><a href="http://www.facebook.com/legallymarried">The Real Housewives of Orange County Tamra & Eddie</a>, </i>I received a number of compliments regarding the kindness and grace in my voice and in my deportment. Also, that these traits are not ones manufactured. The command of th wedding ceremony showed knowledge and experience. Wedding or Celebrations Manners, along with acquired knowledge and experience are more much more than <i>"have to", </i>they are public expressions of what a person values, and who they are or want to become. <a href="mailto:info@theclergynetwork.com">info@theclergynetwork.com</a> - <a href="http://www.facebook.com/legallymarried">www.facebook.com/legallymarried</a> - <a href="http://blog.theclergynetwork.com/">blog.theclergynetwork.com</a> - <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/livingfestive">www.pinterest.com/livingfestive</a> </div>
