I, (bride/groom), take you (bride/groom) to be my lawfully wedded (husband/wife) for richer for poorer, and sickness and in health, to love, honor and cherish from this day forward, ’til death do we part.

This is the traditional wedding vow. We have heard it so many times in the movies that we have memorized it. Now, before you actually walk down the aisle, is the time to think about it and be very sure that you’ll say it and mean it.

Many of us have experienced the sorrow of being in a family where a loved one’s marriage has failed. We swear that our marriage will be different, that divorce will never happen. Here are some things to think about to help you be sure that it’s time to say, “I do.”

Can you live with his habits? Things like does he pick his nose? Will you still want to be with him if his snoring keeps you awake every night? Can you stand the fact that he may only take a bath once a week if he feels like it? How about the way he eats?

Think about your values. Look at the way you each feel about time, kids, family and work. If there’s a conflict in schedule involving you and your future mother-in-law, which way would he go? Can you live with your differences? Can you come to a working compromise if you can’t agree?

They say love conquers all, and this may be true. It will help though if you go into it with your eyes truly open. The Beatle’s sung it right: “Will you still need him, will you still love him when he’s 64?”

  • Bridesmaid Gifts

    A bride looks her best on her wedding day. Every woman is transformed into a lovely vision on her wedding day. She becomes the cynosure of all eyes and no one can stop talking about ‘Oh! What a lovely bride she makes.’ ‘She looks so beautiful today, she reminds me so much of how her mother looked at her wedding.’

    As much as we would love to believe, it isn’t magic that transforms even ordinary looking women into a princess for their wedding ceremony and reception. There is a team of people working to help the bride look her best and one among the team is a person called a bridesmaid.

    A bridesmaid is a woman who attends to a bride on the day of her nuptials. She is with her constantly, helping soothe frazzled nerves and whisper words of encouragement.

    As the bride walks down the aisle towards a new life, it is her maid of honor and bridesmaids at her side, ready to anticipate even her smallest need and ensure that all goes well.

    It goes without saying that a bridesmaid should also get something in return for all her efforts. A small token of appreciation would go a long way in making her feel special and thanked.

    TIPS TO HELP SELECT BRIDESMAID GIFTS

    Get Personalized – This is probably the one time your bridesmaid would not mind you asking her personal questions. Try getting to know her likes and dislikes. That will help you in making her gift something personal, something she would always treasure. Also, personalized gifts make your token of appreciation unique. For example, gifts like monogrammed cosmetic or travel bags, or inscribed gifts such as tote or spa bags make perfect bridesmaid gifts.

    Keep Sufficient Time – Bridesmaid gifts are not something you can get at the last minute, it should be planned well in advance. Devote sufficient time to the planning and buying of the gifts, this will help make it even more special.

    Do Your Research Well – With the advent of the internet, it is possible to choose an appropriate gift for your bridesmaid, in the comfort of your own home. Make the effort to do research on the internet, so that you can explore all the possible options.

    Get Creative – A bridesmaid is usually someone you know closely and you would want her to cherish the memory of your wedding and the gift you give her for the rest of her life. If you have sufficient time and are a creative person, put your creativity to work and come up with a unique gift she is sure to treasure. But remember – planning is of the essence. Ensure adequate time and resources for this – it’s a project on its own.

    Bridesmaid gifts range from tote bags, to monogrammed jewelry bags, to photo CD cases, to manicure sets, to travel bags, to a whole variety of things. But remember – more than the gift, the feeling with which it is given will go a long way. So put in that extra effort, go that extra mile – the look on your bridesmaid face when she receives a personalized and unique gift – will make you feel even more special on your special day.

  • In keeping with wedding tradition, the bride and groom give gifts to their bridal party to say thank you for their involvement in the celebrations. These gifts are then presented to the party at the wedding reception. But, who do you have to buy for and what do you buy?

    Well, gifts are usually purchased for the parents of the bride and groom, the best man, bridesmaids, ushers, pageboys and anyone else who has had a significant input to your special day. Generally speaking these are bought and paid for by the groom!
    Of course, each society and culture handles their gift giving differently and your decision should be your own and dependent upon your own preferences, religious and cultural beliefs.

    When it comes to giving gifts to the children, it’s always nice to give them something special to keep however, little ones are generally more appreciative of something edible. Many brides choose to give children [young bridesmaids, flowergirls, page boys, ring bearers etc] something nice to eat or a small toy to play with on the day, and then a small keepsake of the day. This may be in the form of an engraved box, a piece of jewellery, a personalised photo album, a personalised teddy or special book.

    With older bridesmaids, jewellery is again a suitable choice or perhaps an engraved box in which to keep jewellery. More traditional brides will choose jewellery where more modern couples give bridesmaids engraved compact mirrors, lipstick cases or an engraved glass gift. There is no structured protocol with these items although it is a generally held belief that brides should give some sort of keepsake as a memento of the day.

    Male bridal party gifts are sometimes more difficult depending on the age of the man in question. Again, silverware is a usual choice whether this is a personalised tankard, a silver hipflask, a bottle stopper or a boxed set of cufflinks. Some brides will give a best man or usher an engraved pen, a personalised paperweight or even a personalised chocolate plaque.

    When it comes to the parents, many brides choose gifts for the couple as a unit. For example, an engraved photo frame or glass vase is an ever-popular choice. Sometimes this is difficult, especially if parents are divorced, widowed or remarried. Of course, this will need to be considered when a gift is selected and there is no reason why you couldn’t choose separate gifts for each individual. If silverware or glassware is not suitable, a hand tied bouquet of flowers and a respectably sized box of chocolates always go down a treat!

    Whatever you choose, remember that it does not have to be a lavish extravagance but a small well-chosen token to thank everyone for being fundamental to a happy and successful day.

  • Choosing The Right Wedding Dance

    One of the best things about your wedding is that it’s your party! You are automatically king and queen of the event so you get the crown and the first dance. It’s time to get down.

    Traditionally, you’ll be doing the two step. Basically that means pick a song that you can sway and take two steps to as you stand on the floor. This can be really sweet but really… you can do that any old time. Come on guys, shake your tail feathers!

    If you have the least ability to dance and you’re willing to have some fun, learn to dance one very special number. Hire a choreographer if you need one. Show off your ability to dance.

    If you’ve only danced modern dances, you’ll find that ballroom dances are truly a blending of the skills of two people. You need to work with your partners strengths and catch the rhythm together. It may take a lot of practice so that you move and look beautiful together. After all, dancing should be beautiful to watch as well as execute.

    Of all the ballroom dances, the waltz is the favorite for weddings. It is fun and easy to learn. It is also easy to dance in a wedding gown. Classic music choices include the Blue Danube Waltz or the Skater’s Waltz. If you want to use more modern music, adaptations have been made of quite a number of songs as well, which may include your favorite love song. Moon River and The Way You Look Tonight are just two of the songs used as alternatives.

    The foxtrot is another well loved dance for weddings. Couples can move slowly to the strains of Someone to Watch Over Me or more quickly to Cheek to Cheek. This is a more lively dance than the waltz but still has that romantic feel to it.

    Of course if you really dance well together, don’t be shy about it! Why not go for the drama of a tango and heat up the floor. Make it absolutely scorching!

    Whichever dance you choose, have fun! Allow yourselves to be Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in your very own dance. Practice hard and don’t forget to keep the dresses in mind. Get the party started the right way… with you having a blast!

  • Yes my friends, believe it or not I can say that I have a 100% of effectiveness when I ask a girl to be my date or girlfriend.

    Sex? Well, I’m not the kind of guy that gets a girl just to have sex, however, let me tell you that out of all the girlfriends that I’ve had, I had sex with all of them eventually and with the rest of them, well.. honestly I didn’t want to but if I’d had asked them, I’m pretty sure they would have considered it.

    So, what is my technique?

    Here it is:

    1) First of all, I’ll tell you something that I recently told to a couple of friends who were suffering because of their girls…

    “You have to be willing to lose your girl since the very beginning….”

    You’d say I’m crazy, but it’s true.

    You see, anything can happen and if you are willing to accept that, chances are that if for some reason you get separate, your pain will be a lot less.

    2) Do without doing, say without saying, flirt without flirting.

    This is good. When flirting a girl, don’t let her feel that you are dying for her. Women have a sixth sense, they know when a guy likes her and they feel that everybody like her, so, what you should do is, be less attentive, pay attention to what she needs but don’t make her feel too important.

    Here is an example:

    Let’s say, that you are at a party and somebody introduces her to you.

    Tell her sincerely and SUPER INTERESTED that she’s got the most beautiful eyes you’ve ever seen. Really, pay the most attention you can to her eyes for about 3-5 minutes, looking at “them” not at her.

    The next 20 minutes do something else and don’t pay attention to her eyes.

    She’ll think that something is wrong.

    Then, bring her a drink and tell her again about her eyes, and go somewhere else.

    Are you following? Be attentive but, make her wonder, “why at the beginning he was so attentive and he liked my eyes so much, no he is a little cold? Aren’t my eyes that beautiful?”

    3) MAKE HER LAUGH!

    Laugh is the way to true love!

    ————————————————————————————–

    That’s it!

    Short technique but, super effective. It has worked for me every time.

    Take care.

  • Do you worry about your performance in bed – That you can’t achieve the satisfaction you want or find that you cannot satisfy your partner?

    If so, this article is for you and will help you last longer in bed and achieve greater pleasure for both you and your partner.

    The major point to keep in mind with sex is that it is an intense emotional and physical experience and to achieve great sex your mind and body need to work together.

    1. Relax

    If you feel under pressure to perform, anxiety will definitely affect your performance and you will end up trying to hard and will fail to achieve satisfaction for both you and your partner.

    Not being relaxed is a total passion killer.

    For good sex and lasting longer in bed, you need to be totally relaxed, free your mind and concentrate only on the sexual act.

    2. Go Slowly

    The number one way to last longer in bed is simply to go slower.

    Not only will this help you relax, it will make your body and your partners more responsive to touch.

    Take it all slowly (not just the sex act) but also all the foreplay that precedes the act of sex.

    This will help relax and connect you to your partner and let sexual energy flow free.

    3. Deepen your breathing.

    Breathing correctly is a great way to connect ourselves with our bodies (this has been used for centuries in Eastern society) and to relax and achieve connection between mind, body and soul and you should use it to.

    Try deep slow breathing in rhythm with your partner’s breathing. This simple tip will give huge pleasure to both of you.

    4. The whole experience is important

    Sex is not about simply achieving orgasm. It is about the whole experience and all the pleasure that precedes the final ending.

    The most important element of sex is the overall experience not just achieving orgasm.

    Sex gives us pleasure in numerous ways and our bodies simply love the whole experience.

    5. Communicate With Your Partner

    Don’t be afraid to ask your partner what she likes and you should do the same with her.

    Keep in mind all people are different. we have certain acts that turn us on and turn us off, so it’s important to know what gives each of you pleasure.

    Every time you have sex you should try new and different things and improve on the things you have learned.

    Many partners never satisfy themselves or their partners. This is simply down to a lack of communication.

    6. Guilt

    If for any reason you attach shame or guilt to sex, you will not feel relaxed and will not achieve satisfaction.

    Sex is one of the great gifts to you and everyone and should be enjoyed.

    Focus only on the positive aspects (and there are many) and you will achieve love and satisfaction.

    7. Feelings From Within

    Sex is both a physical and emotional experience and you need to feel both.

    Let your consciousness move from your mind to your body and focus on feeling your sexual energy coming from within your being.

    You will then are focused purely on sexual union and the pleasure and free your mind from all other thoughts.

    8. Good Sex Can take Time

    There is a lot to learn about sex the best positions, foreplay etc and we have covered them in our other articles (sorry not enough room here!) but to conclude you can learn a lot about your body and your partners and this will enhance your sex life.

    Good sex can take time and all men are capable of lasting longer in bed.

    Sure, you may need a bit of practice and some time to achieve satisfaction with your partner, but the practice will be fun!

  • Do you have a fear of being rejected? Some people get over rejection very quickly, but for others, the fear of rejection causes major problems. People who fear rejection often end up living very lonely lives because they never take the initiative in forming new relationships.

    If you have a fear of getting rejected socially, one way to overcome your fear of rejection is to deliberately go out and try to collect a lot of rejections on purpose. Make it into a game! When you’re trying to get rejected on purpose, it’s just practice, so it doesn’t really count. This strategy is used by some therapists who specialize in the treatment of shyness.

    For example, if you have a fear of being rejected by women, set out to get rejected by many, many women on purpose. Make it into a game, and give yourself points for every rejection you receive. Once you have collected say, a hundred points, give yourself a meaningful reward.

    If you’re really nervous about approaching women, start out with just a very tiny change in your behavior. Just say hello to every woman you meet. Count up all the rejections. Decide how many rejections you want to get in a day, and work hard each day to make that quota!

    Once you are used to saying hello to women you don’t know, add on a new behavior, such as making a comment about the weather, or asking a simple question. Keep counting your rejections, and set a quota of rejections to meet each day.

    Then gradually add more complicated behaviors to this list. Start asking women out for coffee. Then start asking them out on dates. If they reject you it doesn’t matter. Remember, you want to get rejected so that you can make more points.

    You want to get rejected so that you can learn not to take it personally.

    You want to get rejected so you become comfortable with the process of meeting new people and talking to them without having to worry whether or not it leads to anything.

    If you actually do this exercise instead of just reading about it, you can learn to experience rejection in a whole new way. Getting rejected will no longer feel like a terrible attack on your innermost being. It will simply be a light hearted exercise that you can learn to enjoy as you develop a new skill.

    Getting over a fear of rejection can require a lot of determination and courage. It also takes practice, practice, practice!

    You have to keep practicing new ways of thinking and new ways of behaving until they become second nature for you. A fear of being rejected doesn’t need to keep you in a prison of loneliness. If you keep trying new social behaviors, your shyness and your loneliness can become a thing of the past!

  • Wedding Advice for Men

    Getting married is a big step and it is important that you understand your role in the wedding planning and process. Here is some helpful advice.

    For many men, the biggest event in a relationship is proposing to your wife to be. It is without doubt a stressful, but fulfilling moment. When she says yes, you are probably going to be both relieved and floating on the clouds. After a bit, it is time to start thinking about the wedding. For many men, this stage is the start of one foreign, strange process and they have no idea how to handle it. Here is some advice in this regard.

    To most men, the most important thing about the wedding is exchanging vows. For your fiancé, however, a wedding is much more and it is incredibly important to her. Everything that goes into the planning stages is an important decision. Picking flowers, invitations and tasting samples from caterers is all part of the joy for her. For you, it may not be so. You may get annoyed at all the appointments and decisions. You probably don’t have a really strong opinion about the type of flowers that will be used. This is understandable, but these decisions are important to her.

    When going through the wedding planning process, it is important for grooms to be actively involved. Yes, even when you really don’t have an opinion on something such as invitations. You should never indicate that you don’t care. You should if for no other reason than it is important to your future wife. If you don’t have an opinion on some selection, do your best to form one. Your fiancé knows you probably are not particularly fired up about picking the table settings for your wedding, but she will really appreciate it if you make the effort to get involved. Doing so is a statement that you are committed to her happiness, not a particular type of flower and so on.

    Following the wedding, it is time for the reception. Ah, now I have your attention. Receptions are the festive part of the wedding event. How festive you get, however, is something you will have to gauge from your relationship. In general, it is important to be a bit conservative. While your wife may laugh about your getting very festive after a few years have passed, she probably will not be so happy on the night in question.

    The wedding day is an important one for both the bride and the groom. Take an active role in both the planning and the wedding and everything should go great. Well, not too active a role at the reception!
