Posted on Saturday, January 27, 2007 by Suzy Plan For Rain It may sound like a simple thing, but we really didn't plan on having a rainy day on our Wedding Day. It never rains much around here, so we didn't give it a second thought. Make solid plans in case it rains! Our wedding wasn't ruined by it, but with a little better planning, it wouldn't have phased us a bit.

Posted on Tuesday, December 19, 2006 by Brett and Michelle Use Lapel Microphones to Record Your Wedding When we were getting ready to videotape our wedding, we intended to have a camera at the back of the church, and then use whatever footage we could borrow from the guests. A friend of ours suggested that we get some inexpensive digital voice recorders with lapel mics for me, my wife and the Pastor. It worked like a charm! The sound on the tape was muddy and noisy, but when we edited in the audio from the voice recorders, it was crystal clear! You could hear the preacher and our vows just perfect.

Posted on Thursday, November 16, 2006 by John Never Say Divorce These days it's far too easy to enter a marriage because, in the back of your mind, you always know that divorce is an option. Unfortunately, by considering divorce as an option you may be ruining your own marriage before you ever get started. You and your fiance should discuss this openly and agree in advance that, at least for you, divorce is not an option. It's far easier to work through the eventual problems you will have if you have decided up front that you HAVE to solve them. If you think you can bail out at the first sign of trouble, you will.

Posted on Friday, November 03, 2006 by Brenda Watch the Size of Your Wedding Invitations Boy, was I surprised. We bought what we thought were the perfect wedding invitations. They were absolutely gorgeous. They were also square! Big deal, right? Wrong! Guess what folks, square letters under an ounce cost an extra 13 cents to mail (I have no idea why, but they do). That may not seem like much, but with 300 invitations it works out to an additional $39 dollars on an already tight budget. Plus, we were running behind in the first place, and our beautiful square wedding invitations were all returned for additional postage which delayed them a few more days! My advice, no matter what invitation you are considering, is to take a sample to the Post Office BEFORE you purchase them to find out for sure what they will cost to mail.

Posted on Thursday, October 19, 2006 by Thomas Fly Out the Day After Your Wedding When we were making plans for our wedding and honeymoon, we debated whether or not we should try to fly out that night or wait until the next day. We decided to get a hotel room for the night of the wedding and then schedule our flight for the day after. That was the best decision we made! The wedding day was busier than we expected, and we probably would have missed our flight had we tried to make it that night. As it was, we had a helluva good time at the hotel and we were able to really enjoy the rest of our honeymoon without that initial mad dash to the airport.

Posted on Monday, October 02, 2006 by Brittney That Time of the Month You would have thought it was obvious, but when planning our wedding date, I completely spaced what time of the month it would be! Dave was so understanding on our wedding night and honeymoon, but things could have been a lot better (if you know what I mean) had I just given it a little more thought.
