"Aw"

I perhaps witnessed the most romantic event in real life last night.

A friend of mine was recently engaged and finally told my sorority that we are both involved in. After having a candle passing (a candle goes around in a circle of girls, once for getting a boyfriend, twice for getting a necklace with fraternity letters on it, three times for getting pined, four for engagement and five for being pregnant) her fiancĂ©'s fraternity brothers came up to our sorority house. They then sung a song dedicated to her and gave her flowers, his brothers with one color flowers and he had a different color flower. 
This happiness added to the sadness of loosing our seniors, well, lets just say that I lost it half way through. 
This gives me hope that there is true romance in the world and that everything is not just in movies.

Yey!

For your enjoyment, I have found yet another worst wedding moments video. Please pay attention to the second groom. If I were that bride, there might be some discussion...I mean yelling... later on.

Vows

I often find myself wondering about things to write about at strange times. For example today, while I was supposed to be listening in one of my classes, I started thinking about my next topic and therefore, here it is. Wedding vows, should you write them or use the traditional "in sickness and in health..."

Well, I think that they could both be very romantic. On the one hand you have a profession of love in front of friends and family. Why you love the person, what qualities you like, and maybe a joke at the expense of your loved one.

On the other hand, a simple tide and true method one that is simple and sweet. There is an element of hearing the specific words "I take you to be my lawfully wedded husband/wife..." that let the friends and family know that it is real and it is happening.

Which ever someone may choose, the words that are spoken will tell all the world that the couple has entered into marriage and they are tied together.

Here comes the bride

I was looking through the post's that have written through out the past couple of months and I realized that I have not written or showed a video on wedding dresses. Since the dress is one of the most important things in a wedding, I think that it is about time to give credit to the gowns that turn a girl into a princess for a day. Even though I have never been one for high fashion, I decided not to let my preferences get in the way of your enjoyment, so here are a couple of videos of fashion shows focused on wedding dresses.

Can't dance? Worried that you are going to look ridiculous at during your first dance?
Well I did some of the leg work for you and found a video that is a "how to" for a classic box step. Granted that it most likely won't work for all of the first dance songs that are out there, but it is a start. :-)


You are getting married where?!

I have heard many things about destination weddings.
They add an exciting and exotic twist to the ceremony, they can be extremely romantic and last but not least, they are expensive. 
Honestly, I think that it would be definitely be a romantic and exotic event, to be married on a cliff in Hawaii, or on a beach at sunset in the Caribbean. 
The major problem that I may have with a destination wedding somewhere, would be the cost. Asking family to travel to your hometown to the wedding is one thing in my mind and completely another to ask an entire family to fly to a foreign country. 
If I, along with my fiancĂ©e, decided to get hitched on a beach in Maui or something along those lines I would like to think that they would decided to spend the money in order to share in the love and joy that would be celebrated that day.

Did you know?

Is there anything that Disney didn't think of?
Along with the magical ceremonies that couples can have in Walt Disney World, they can also have their very own wedding dress created with the Disney princesses in mind. 
That's right, you could walk down the isle with in a Ariel, Aurora, or Cinderella Disney Wedding Dress.
