Quote of the Day
“When love beckons to you follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth......"― Kahlil Gibran, Le Prophète

Quote of the Day
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer, no disease that enough love will not heal, no door that enough love will not bridge, no wall that enough love will not throw down, no sin that enough love will not redeem... It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough, you could be the happiest and most powerful being in the world...

Advice for the grandparents..
Did you know that traditional wedding etiquette dictates that all grandparents be ushered down the aisle at the beginning of the wedding ceremony. If requested by the bride and groom, the grandmother should wear a corsage. In some cases, the grandmother might also be asked to join the receiving line following the wedding ceremony. In this case, she should welcome and thank guests for attending the wedding.

Quote of the Day
“I didn’t marry you because you were perfect. I didn’t even marry you because I loved you. I married you because you gave me a promise. That promise made up for your faults. And the promise I gave you made up for mine. Two imperfect people got married and it was the promise that made the marriage. And when our children were growing up, it wasn’t a house that protected them; and it wasn’t our love that protected them – it was that promise.”
— Thornton Wilder

Grandmother's duties,..
As one of the oldest female relatives, a grandmother plays an important and special role on her grandchild's wedding day, whether she is the grandmother of the bride or groom. To ensure respect for the couple on their special day, a grandmother is expected to follow certain wedding traditions. Wedding etiquette for a grandmother is simple and straightforward.
Preparation
- Proper wedding etiquette dictates that the grandmother should inform the bride and groom of any special dietary or mobility needs as early as possible to ensure that arrangements can be made easily
, according to 1MotherOfTheBride.com. For example, the couple could reserve a special seat if she has difficulty walking, or request a special meal at the wedding reception.
Dress
- The grandmother should select her dress based on the overall formality of the wedding. According to wedding etiquette, she should not wear a dress in a colour or style that too closely matches the bride's wedding gown or the bridesmaid's dresses. For a semi-formal wedding, the grandmother might wear a pantsuit or casual dress. For a formal wedding, she should wear an elegant dress or skirt suit.
Offerings
- The grandmother should offer advice and suggestions when the bride requests it. Additionally, the grandmother should offer one of her personal items to the bride to be used as the "something borrowed" or "something old" item. Ideas include pearl earrings, a silk handkerchief or a hairpin.
Special Requests
- Traditional wedding etiquette dictates that all grandparents be ushered down the aisle at the beginning of the wedding ceremony. If requested by the bride and groom, the grandmother should wear a corsage. In some cases, the grandmother might also be asked to join the receiving line following the wedding ceremony. In this case, she should welcome and thank guests for attending the wedding.
Gift
- The grandmother should give a gift to the bride and groom on their wedding day, but there are no rules regarding the type of gift from grandparents. In fact, some simply choose to give a check or cash to help bride and groom start their new life together.

A Wedding Prayer with meaning...
Cherokee Prayer
God in heaven above please protect the ones we love.
We honor all you created as we pledge
our hearts and lives together.
We honor mother-earth - and ask for our marriage to
be abundant and grow stronger through the seasons;
We honor fire - and ask that our union
be warm and glowing with love in our hearts;
We honor wind - and ask we sail though life
safe and calm as in... our father's arms;
We honor water - to clean and soothe our relationship -
that it may never thirsts for love;
With all the forces of the universe you created,
we pray for harmony and true happiness as
we forever grow young together. Amen.

What are the duties of a step mum...
Traditionally there isn't one, because traditionally there aren't step mothers. The mothers and the fathers are meant to come together in honour of their child regardless of their relationship status. However, in more modern times many brides or grooms wish to include their step parents as well. If we're talking SMother of the bride, she can share in the responsibilities of the brides mother. Planning parties, removing the veil and of course escorting the father. If we're talking SMother of the groom, she can share in Mother of the Groom responsibilities, having or sharing a mother son dance with the groom, escorting the father or brother of the groom and other things. We tend to suggest that they try and split up responsibilities equally and share things like dances and such as equally as possible between bio and step parents. However each couple/wedding is going to have different needs.

Maid of Honour Duties | |
| The maid of honor duties are perhaps the most demanding of anyone involved in the wedding - possibly with the exception of the blushing bride herself. Being a maid of honour means, you are the bride's chief cohort, her number one assistant and best girlfriend. | |

Bridal Party Duties
When it comes to a traditional wedding, you would expect to see the full bridal party involved from the cute little flower girl to the page boy and to the best man. Yet many weddings have moved well away from the traditional roles so if you are involved in a bridal party, you will often ask the question - what are my duties?
Well obviously the bride and groom in question will be able to help you when it comes to working out what it is exactly that you need to do to make the wedding a complete success.
Stay tuned as we bring you more information daily...

Thoughts on marriage
Most people go into a marriage half hoping for a lifetime of love with that one person and half fearing that the marriage won't work out in the end.
Well, there's more than enough reasons that could be cited for a marriage that has gone sourly wrong. Yet, is it possible that if we just commit ourselves to making the marriage work through all the ups and downs of life, that somehow we would be able... to sustain a long and loving marriage? Instead of letting our fears get to us, can we focus more on making the marriage works and turning it into a success?
Instead of wanting to be right all the times and expecting our loved one to fit into our expectations, can we love that person enough to see that being right and winning aren't the ultimate goals in a relationship?
Can we put aside our egos and see that it's more important to make our loved one feel valued and loved rather than dominating over him/her?

What Are the Duties of the Father of the Groom?
The father of the groom plays an important role in his son's wedding. The parents of the bride play a vital role in planning their daughter's wedding, and traditionally, the father of the groom has had little to do. Times have changed and the father of the groom is becoming a bigger part of the planning and execution of his son's wedding. Some couples choose to include the groom's father in everything from planning the location of the ceremony to checking on the guests' welfare at the wedding reception.

Start planning your wedding..
From your engagement every moment is taken up with organising your wedding, from choosing your perfect outdoor wedding venue to your stylish dress. Flowers should always take a high priority on your wedding checklist for an outside wedding as they can make a strong impression regardless of what type of garden wedding theme you choose or size of budget you may have. Flowers have a pure language of their own, from the lily of the valley, signifying happiness to white iceberg roses meaning ‘I am worthy of you’.

Groomsmen Duties
Our research shows us that in ancient times, groomsmen were essentially the groom's bodyguards, so the groomsmen duties were to ensure nothing happened to prevent the groom from taking his rightful place next to his bride. Today, their duties tend to be a little less dangerous and are generally restricted to helping the best man organise the buck night and to ensure the wedding runs smoothly.

Quote of the Day
'To be contented human beings we need trust and friendship, which tends to develop much better once we realise that all beings have a right to happiness, just as we do. Taking others’ interests into account not only helps them, it also helps us. Warm-heartedness and concern for others are a part of human nature and are at the core of positive human values.' Dalai Lama
