Life and marriage throw curves at every turn. So why do brides expect nothing short of perfection on their wedding day? I blame it on the princess fairytale fantasy. We want everything to look as perfect as those staged pictures in the bridal magazines, the dress, flowers, cake, ring, groom, etc. Nothing less will do because we girls get told from childhood that this is our big day. Most guys are happy to let the bride steal the show, they'd just as soon just slip in at the last moment, say their I do, kiss the bride, and get on to the party at the reception. Putting together a wedding can challenge both your resolve to get married in the first place, and create a pressure cooker atmosphere that makes it hard to enjoy the beauty, significance …show more content…
Tip #1: Avoid last minute, drink laden bachelor or bachelorette blow-outs. Schedule the bash at least one week prior to the ceremony. Twice I've witnessed woozy grooms who couldn't stand at their wedding rehearsal. Both brides were furious, and one not so quietly told the groom he'd better be standing tall the next day or else. Fortunately he was and we didn't get to find out the or else part, but I bet it would have been loud and nasty. Needless to say that couple is now divorced. Tip #2: If the dressing room at the church or wedding venue can't be locked have someone secure the wedding party's purses and wallets. Thieves love weddings because everyone is paying attention to the ceremony or party and they know people will leave wallets and purses in the dressing rooms or unattended at the reception. Tip #3: Despite the stress and expense maintain a sense of humor. A friend's parents, who paid for two lavish weddings over the course of nine months, danced down the aisle after the bride and groom to the tune of, Happy Days Are Here Again. Tip #4: Do use bird seed instead of rice for the gauntlet run to the …show more content…

Glow sticks were first made in the 1960s when a scientist, Edwin Chandross tried to copy fireflies. He thought it was fascinating how they gave off a natural light. He made the first glow stick from oxalyl chloride and hydrogen peroxide. Since Edwin’s invention many scientist after made improvements to the invention. The United States Navy worked on creating glow sticks independently and received a patent in 1973. Glow sticks started to become popular in the 1980s and since then are still very popular today. The largest glow stick was made in 2009 and was 8ft 4 inches tall. Glow sticks can be used for entertainment when dancing they are very popular for raves, parties, night clubbing, special events etc. glow sticks are the safest light sources in emergencies, They are used because they are very efficient and do not require any batteries or electricity. Glow sticks are portable and waterproof can bear high pressure situations and that is why military forces and campers use them and have them on hand.
I’m guessing that my son might rename the "Rehearsal Dinner" to the "Rehearsal Dinner Kegger". The invitations would not read “Gracious dinning from 7 to 10” but rather, “Raucous Drinking from 7 until the cops show up.”
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - I must admit, I am more nervous about participating in this wedding than I was as the groom (bridegroom) at my own wedding. Maybe it's because I have been married thirty years and I know what my son is getting himself in to!
Light sticks work in a similar way. When you “snap” a light stick, the chemical in the glass capsule mixes with a chemical in the plastic tube and creates light energy. Instead of the chemicals used by a firefly, other chemicals are used to create a glow. The light stick that you can buy at a store usually contains hydrogen peroxide, phenyl oxalate ester, and fluorescent dye (New York Times Company, 1 of 3). The light stick will glow the same color as the fluorescent dye placed in it. In luminescence, the chemical reaction “kicks an electron of an atom out of its ‘ground’ (lowest-energy) state into an ‘excited’ (higher-energy) state, then the electron give back the energy in the form of light so it can fall back to it’s ‘ground’ state (Fluorescent Mineral Society, 1 of 2).
For thousands of years, before modern electrical lighting systems were developed, candles existed not for decoration but for the sole purpose of providing artificial light in millions of homes.
Keep an eye out for these telltale signs of becoming a bridezilla. Taking wedding preparations to the extreme and micromanaging your nuptials is not the best way to start your life with the person you love. When it comes to weddings, every woman wants to have her dream day, but it’s important to remember that all you really need is the person you love, family and
A candle is another light source that you could use to light your way, although not as bright as a flashlight, they can be useful for starting a fire and illuminating your trail. They are multi-useful.
In preparing for today the groom has given us a list of things we have to do, so if you don't mind, for our sake and for yours, we would just quickly like to run through it, sorry.
When I was asked to be best man I consulted the Internet for help. I must confess I was perplexed by some of the things I was expected to do:
I have a large library of stories to tell you that will leave the groom embarrassed and humiliated, but out of respect for him on his big day I have decided not to tell them. So I'm not going to tell you about the time he vomited over a taxi driver's head or ended up in hospital on his stag do.
Organise the stag night. Or in Brian’s case, hen night as Brian insisted on inviting more girls than guys. It was actually a very civilised affair, walk in the countryside, few drinks in a nice pub, then a lovely meal with fine wine and champagne in the evening.
This battery does have a couple limitations such as circuit protection to maintain voltage and current levels. Also, when this battery is not in use it still continues to age. It has a limited number of life cycles until the battery starts to lose capacity. Lithium-ion batteries are also more expensive to manufacture when compared to other batteries on the market.
Finally after what seemed like years, I walked out to greet my new father-in-law and my new wife. I shook his hands as he gave away his youngest daughter to start our own family, and then I reached out for the arm of my bride. Together we walked the rest of the way down the aisle and stood in front of the pastor’s
One of the important differences between the ways weddings are celebrated by Vietnamese and Americans is preparation. According to the culture, Vietnamese wedding first begins by choosing a date and time for the marriage ceremony which is matched to both bride’s and groom’s ages in the oriental zodiac. For example, I am married to a man who was born in the year of the cat, and I was born in the year of the pig. We therefore are two of three matched ages including pig, cat, and goat, so the best time for our wedding is the time of goat. Moreover, before the wedding day, the groom’s family would make a trip to the bride’s home to inform the best date for the wedding ceremony. After wedding date was informed, bride and groom start sending invitations to their guests. Vietnamese wedding uses lunar calendar for the ceremony and invitations for their guests at the wedding parties, even though people in Vietnam use both western and lunar calendars. On the other hand, Americans prepare their weddings by the most favorable day for both bride and groom which mostly happen on the weekend. Many American brides also have bridal showers before their weddings. For example, my next door neighbor in America had a bridal shower about more than one month before her wedding. After that, she and her fiancé started sending in...
Light bulb is one of the most influential inventions in the word. It makes us work more productive at night and helps us enjoy more activities at night. It significantly change people lives all over the world. The born of light bulb also helped us by making more inventions that related to light, such as phones, televisions, and computes. By using light bulb, we actually reduced the probability of having fire accidents because if we don’t have light bulb, we will use candles instead which can cause fire easily. There are a lot more benefits we get from light bulb, and all of these are credited to Thomas Alva Edison.
