How you express your love to your husband?

Its not hard, smile, and say I love you. If there is no reply or other response, then something is wrong, and not for me to judge, he has issues. Seek professional guidance. They are qualified more in such aspects then what us men are, or women.

ANSWER:

How to tell will be so easy, your heart will be your weapon to tell your husband. Love means that you accept him for who he is. Through thick and thin, good time to bad times, bickering are part of being married. And most of the time, just the way you look at him will tell him your true feelings for your husband.

Never stop telling your husband how much you love him, because if you don't you'll never know if you will be alive the next day, or vice versa. Most of the times we all take advantage on how to show our true feelings towards our spouse. Take my words for it, because this is the huge problem that I have with the man I married.

How many brides maids can you have?

A.

It's not necessarily tacky, but things can get out of hand if the wedding party is too big. For one thing, you'll want to be sure there aren't more people standing up at the altar than are sitting in the pews! It's true that you want your wedding party to be somewhat proportionate to the size of your guest list. Also take into consideration the size of your ceremony site -- will everyone fit up front? And last, consider the logistics -- finding a dress (or even a few styles) that ten women will like, making sure everyone gets fitted, and so on. Even the closest of friends sometimes find their relationships strained over this sort of thing. All that said, the truth is, the number of bridesmaids you have is solely up to you. If you have 10 dear friends and you want them all to stand up for you at the wedding, so be it. And it really doesn't matter if you have more women than men in the wedding party; symmetry is not required. Also consider this -- you can have your bridesmaids (and groomsmen too) walk in the procession and then simply sit in a row in the first pew. They don't have to stand up the entire time. (You and your groom will probably want to have your maid of honor and best man standing next to you however.) This way, everyone you want to honor gets honored, but it won't get too crowded.

Meaning of drinking wine in the wedding?

For ages the wine has been the symbol of fertility, joy, intoxication, healing and youthfulness.

In the Greek mythology, Dionysus was the god of wine and fertility. In the roman mythology, it was Bacchus.

In Judaism, the first of all the monotheism religions, wine is associated with blessings and sanctification. Through times wine has become an obligation for some Jewish customs (for example, Passover Seder).

The strong reputation of the wine and its associations make it the most appropriate symbol for weddings in Christianity and Judaism.

When do you throw your bouquet?

Typically this occurs immediately before the newly wedded couple leave the area of the ceremony to go to their reception afterwards.

Can you have a matron of honor and a chief bridesmaid at a wedding?

A chief bridesmaid is the maid or matron of honor. You can have one of each, and as many additional bridesmaids as you want--there are no rules. However, too many can look ridiculous and make taking pictures difficult.

What is a man of honor in a wedding?

Right behind the groom and just in front of all the groomsmen.

How do you get certification for financial planner?

There are lots of ways to get a CFP Certification Exam such as taking it online or enrolling in your nearest local school or university.

Why are weddings important?

Weddings hold different kinds of importances to different kinds of people.

Who is responsible for cost of traditional Mexican wedding?

Usually everyone from the family pays.

The whole concept is that there is a godfather and godmother say for instance: the godfather of memories (like the wedding books and photots. So that guy pays for the photography of the wedding)

Hopefully you get what I'm saying. Be lucky that you have a big family!

When should a bridal shower be given?

You should plan a Bridal Shower to be held about one month prior to the Wedding and only after the Bride has registered somewhere. If the Bride has a lot of family that won't be in town, you can have two showers -- one for the locals and one for the out-of-towners. This still complicates things as most people only fly in for a few days prior to the wedding and with all the planning and finishing touches the bride may not have time for a second shower so close to the wedding date.

Also keep these points in mind

  • The event is usually held within two months of the wedding, up to two weeks before the big day.
  • Don't invite guests to the shower who have not been invited to the wedding.
  • You also need to decide whether this will be just a girls party or a jack and Jill party

Can mother of groom and mother of bride wear long when bridesmaids wear short?

There is absolutely no reasons to not to! As long as your dress is not similar colour or style to the bridesmaid (and of course not white) then I think it should be fine. However, I think you have to in someway make it clear that you are the mother of the bride and not one of the bridesmaid - otherwise, a) the bridesmaid might not be happy thinking that they might not be valued and b) You played a big part in the Bride and the Groom's lives, you want to stand out and let people congratulate you on having a beautiful daughter

Duties of the wedding director?

A wedding director is similar to a wedding planner, but differ in one factor, who assures the big day goes down smoothly. The director coordinates the events such as the wedding and reception.

How much time is an RSVP needed before the date of the wedding?

I would suggest you RSVP as soon as you receive the invitation - if you are sure if you are attending or not. This way you won't forget to return the RSVP card. Otherwise, note the date that this card is due back (it is written inside the card when they need to have your answer) and mark it in your blackberry or on a calendar so you don't forget to send it back.

What does the bride and groom says to each other at the Jewish wedding?

In a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony, there are no vows recited. However, when the groom places the wedding band on the bride's finger, he says (in Hebrew): "Behold, you are consecrated to me with this ring according to the traditions of Moses and Israel."

If the bride gives the groom a ring, when placing the ring on his finger, she says (in Hebrew): "I am my beloved's, my beloved is mine."

Do the grooms parents play a part in the wedding?

* Etiquette states that the bride and groom's families can invite the same amount of guests. However, depending on the finances of both parents (especially the bride's parents) it's wise for both sets of parents to make a list as to whom they would like to come to the wedding and along with the bride and groom both families should sit down together and decide who should come to the wedding and who should not. The reason for this is that each place setting per guest can cost over $25 - $50 or more a plate. This can become extremely expensive and this does not include the reception area being rented nor the alcohol provided at the reception as well as a corkage fee (just for opening each bottle of wine.)

What should the mother of the bride wear if the wedding is red and black?

Usually, the mother of the bride tends to wear colors that compliment the bridal party rather then match them.

Colors that complement the bridal party are for example, if the colors are blue, the mother of the bride could perhaps wear royal blue, baby blue, navy, ocean blue. I think you get the idea. Usually there are two colors for the wedding and so that would open up more choices for colors to wear for the mother of the bride or groom.

How far in advance should the mother of the bride order her dress?

As soon as the bride decides on the color theme of the wedding and her bridesmaids' dress colors. A mother of the bride dress should be ordered right after the bride orders her wedding gown. The reason frequently being, mother of the bride dresses in the color, fabric, style, and size that she wants is never available at the first attempt at shopping. Then there is the queston of whether she likes the way to dress looks on her. The bride, believe or not, has a less taxing time and experience than her mother. If it is a traditional wedding, her two choices of colors are either white or ivory and normally, a bride is young and fairly thin. She is much easier to fit. Mother of the brides, on the other hand, have to coordinate color with the color theme of the wedding, and confer with the mother of the groom as well. Their outfits have to complement each other's. Also, mothers of the bride (and groom) want to look their best for the wedding and try to lose those few extra pounds. This delays the time they could use for shopping and when they finally take the plunge, they simply cannot find what they want and have big time crunch situation. Advice to mother of the brides out there is to never to wait till you lose that 10-20 pounds, etc. Buy a dress that you love and look great in and if you lose the weight, get it professionally altered. You will be much happier and stress-free knowing that you already have a dress to wear on that very important day.
