 Walking Down the Aisle Songs |
Hey. I am getting married next year. It's a outdoor wedding. My groom-to-be and I are not traditional at all. I want my wedding party and I to walk to music unlike any other wedding we have been to. Do you have any ideas on out-the-norm music? "Beautiful Day" by U2 may be a song I use. So I need one for me to walk to and one for when we are coming back down the aisle.
Thanks!!!! | 05 May 2008 20:39 |

 ORIGINAL SONGS |
THAT IS PRETTY COOL. THE SONG U OICKED SOUNDS GOOD. WE'RE NOT BEING TOO TRADITIONAL EITHER. FOR OUR ENTRANCE INTO THE RECEPTION - WE ARE GOING TO WALK INTO "THIS IS WHY I'M HOT" AND WEAR HOODIES, SUNGLASSES, AND GOLD CHINS WITH DOLLAR SIGNS. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE ORIGINAL, FUN, AND COOL PICTURES. | 12 May 2008 17:01 |

Try asking a DJ? |
Have you tried asking a DJ their recommendation? We found a great guy here: http://www.gatheringguide.com/ec/bands_djs_entertainment.html and you can have them do all the work for you. We wanted a hands on wedding where he wouldn't talk too much, just play our songs. Does that help? | 27 Jun 2008 16:26 |

We are also going non-traditional. The wedding party is entering to Loius Armstrongs \\\"What a Wonderful World,\\\" I am walking down the aisle to \\\"It had to be You\\\" and we are walking back to \\\"Happy Together\\\" by the turtles. All are being played on violins though. | 08 Sep 2009 01:01 |

Best of luck on your wedding! | 09 Sep 2009 17:21 |

Rocking Aussie wedding! |
I'm getting married in 3 months, and really want to bust out from the traditional slow song thing.
So if wife-to-be agrees, we'll be walking down the aisle to "you shook me all night long" by AC/DC and I'll do a bit of that rolling around on the ground air guitar and kicking stuff.
It will be awesome and really shock a few of our stuffy old guests! | 25 Jan 2010 03:41 |

Wedding Gifts for Young Couples |
Brides and grooms are making things much easier on their guests nowadays. When it comes to wedding present shopping, most couples pick a few stores, set up a bridal registry of gifts they’d like to receive, and leave guests to choose items from their lists.
And while shopping from the gift registry is sure to secure a present you know the happy couple will want and enjoy, it doesn’t leave you with the most original, creative wedding present by any stretch.
If you want to give the bride and groom a gift they will love and cherish for years to come, you had better find something besides that decorative potholder set or the trio of mixing bowls. Here are just a few creative options for your consideration.
For the cultured couple
Find a stunning piece of artwork – a painting, a sculpture – or get a professional artist to render a sketch or painting from a photograph you provide of the happy couple. For friends with a passion for music, consider passes to the orchestra, the symphony, or the opera.
For the domestic couple
If your friends love to cook and/or eat, get them a unique cooking appliance. Forget about your run of the mill mini kitchen gadgets and devices… you need something unusual and unforgettable. Better yet, get them something they can both use at the same time – like a fondue set, or Raclette, a Swiss dish that has a grill on top of the appliance and little dishes to melt cheese or heat sauce underneath.
For the fun-loving couple
For spur of the moment, say anything, try anything once type friends, the wedding is sure to be a blast and your gift had better be, too! Ponder a few upscale game sets that would nicely accent their fun style. Check out dartboards that come with their own solid wood cabinet, or look for other social items. Scour the glassware section for a classy margarita set, some shooters, and other useful barware items.
For the sentimental couple
Ahh, the memories. If your best friend or a close relative is just about to tie the knot, think about all your memories together and the best possible gift may come to mind. Create a memory book or a scrapbook for your friend, showcasing many times you spent together. Use your own handiwork to craft a handmade blanket. Pick out some velvety photo albums and elegant photo frames so the new couple can fill their home with happy memories and images of loved ones. Rack your brain for any details about the couple’s first date, the proposal, or any event in the relationship that could relate to a gift of some sort. Indulge them with a gift basket if you think of too many memories!

My opinion on a Black Tie wedding and other stuff |
As a preliminary matter, it is NEVER proper to write the required attire on the invitation itself. People will figure out what they are supposed to wear based on the formality of the invitation and by word of mouth. So whatever you choose to go with, you should be aware that it is an etiquette faux pas to write this on the invitation. If you feel you must include it, it's slightly more acceptable to write it on the reception card instead of on the invitation itself.
Additionally, if you write "black tie" on the invitations, this means that black tie is required, not optional (meaning men MUST wear tuxes and women must wear long gowns). If you want black tie to be optional, you need to put "black tie optional" or "formal dress." (Some etiquette books will tell you that black tie optional is also incorrect, but I think most people know what it means). At a black tie optional or formal event, men can wear a dark suit in lieu of a tux. Women can wear long dresses or fancy cocktail dresses.
Unless you run with a high society crowd who frequent black tie events, I would imagine your guests will be annoyed by a black tie mandate (especially if they think black tie is required). Most people don't have a tux lying around, so to attend a black tie event they would need to rent or buy one. This could cost anywhere from 75 to 200 dollars, depending on what you rent and where you rent from. Additionally, a lot of women may not have a long evening dress lying around, so they would need to purchase something as well (I can think of only two friends of mine who own formal wear, and both work in PR and attend gala events regularly). Add this to the cost of attending a wedding generally, and you might make attending your wedding cost prohibitive to some of your guests. At the end of the day, do you care that 100% of your guests are in tuxes and evening gowns but twenty people you care about can't come because they couldn't afford to pay for airfare, hotel, gift, AND a tuxedo and/or gown? Unless it's for a family member or a very close friend, I'd generally decline an invite to a black tie event because the added expense is more than I am willing to spend for DH and I to attend a wedding. I don't own an evening gown, so if DH and I had to attend a black tie event next week it would cost us at least $75 for the tux rental and maybe another $200 for a dress for me, in addition to whatever we're already spending on a gift and travel.
On the registry question - if you're not having a website, then word of mouth is the way to spread the word. People attending must know SOMEONE involved in the wedding, whether it's you, your bridal party, or one of your families, so they will find someone to ask. If there are people being invited who don't know anyone they could ask, then why would they be invited??

Three secrets to bridal success |
1. Build-it-yourself
If the recession taught jewelers one thing, it was that they need to wean themselves off of the habit of over-stocking inventory that does not move. Enter the next generation of bridal ring-building programs, which let jewelers and customers get exactly what they want, minus the risk.
"Some people might not believe in it...but I think it's a good add-on for your existing business," says Pat Javaheri, president of Los Angeles-based manufacturer Amden Jewelry.
Five years ago, the 35-year-old company got into the business of crafting the orders that come from custom ring-building programs. Since then, the number of existing programs has increased by roughly 20 percent, Javaheri says.
2. Fake it 'til you make it
It's a stand-off: Retailers are hesitant to plunk down cash to fill their display cases with diamond engagement rings that are not sure sellers, and vendors have trouble securing the credit that enables them to supply entire showrooms on memo.
One solution comes via the growing number of suppliers offering "brass-and-glass" inventory
programs that allow retailers to purchase engagement ring replicas made of metal alloy and cubic zirconia at a fraction of the cost of rings made of diamonds and precious metal. If your initial reaction is "not in my store," you are not alone.
"We have a lot of customers that when we introduced it, said 'This is not for me, I only sell the real thing,'" Gabriel and Co.'s Dominick Gabriel says of his company's Bridal Sample Program, launched in January 2008. Yet those same jewelers reconsidered after they saw how well the systems were working for other retailers, he says.
3. Seize the celebrity endorsement
Colored diamonds have been red-carpet regulars over the past few years, but more recently, diamonds with hue have been heading into happily-ever-after territory thanks to big-screen veterans and chart-topping songbirds alike.
Jennifer Lopez famously kicked off the trend back in 2002, when actor Ben Affleck presented
her with a pink diamond solitaire, says Robert May, executive director of the Natural Color Diamond Association (NCDIA). The engagement may have gone belly-up, but the allure of colored diamonds was set in stone-and in photos.

Hope Diamond Knock Off |
The Smithsonian Institution recently announced that it has licensed its renowned gem and jewelry collection to create a line of bracelets, brooches and other baubles with the TV shopping network QVC.
The jewelry line expected to launch this fall will be based on the National Gem and Mineral Collection at the National Museum of Natural History, which includes the famous Hope Diamond, The Wittelsbach Blue Diamond and Marie Antoinette earrings among 375,000 specimens. Curators will help oversee creation of the jewelry line.
"With all of our licensed products, everything is reviewed and approved by curators in advance," said Smithsonian spokeswoman Linda St. Thomas in a press release.
Curators also will record interviews for QVC to help introduce the collections and offer a glimpse behind the scenes at the museum in Washington, she said.
"We will create jewelry that is not only fashionable, but also serves to educate the public about the Smithsonian and the jewelry, gems and minerals found in its collections," said Carol LeBlanc, director of consumer products for the Smithsonian Enterprises business unit.
The QVC line will include primarily costume jewelry and semiprecious stones. Some of the earrings, rings, bracelets, pins and brooches will be based on designs of pieces in the museum, while others will simply be inspired by its collection, including the 45.5-carat, walnut-size Hope Diamond, long rumored to carry a curse. The line won't include real diamonds

Drilling holes in beach stones to use for beads |
When drilling beach stones, I would suggest you avoid the advice about buying the best drill bit you can find. When drilling stone, diamond bits wear out quickly, whether you buy the twisted ones (expensive) or the straight ones (far less expensive.) So go for the straight ones.
I'd suggest you go for the economy diamond cylinder drill packs from Rio. They come 25 in a pack and cost less than a buck each, compared to $2 or $4 each for twist bits. You can get through five or six stones with a single bit if the stones are not too hard.
Start your hole with a diamond ball burr, say 1 mm Hold the stone underwater with your hands in a small plastic bin, like Tupperware or glad disposable. Make a small, round divot in the stone.
Once you have a achieved a small divot, drill through the stone in with your cylinder diamond drill bit. Unless your stone is very small, avoid any bit less than 1 mm. The .75 mm bits have a tiny shaft and break often. The 1 mm bits have a reasonably strong shaft.
To make sure you don't drill through the bottom of your container, put a couple of pop sickle sticks under your stone. Hold the stone under water, on top of the pop sticks. Use clear water so you can see what you are doing. The top of the stone should be just barely under water. As you drill, a long tail of dust will drift off from your stone in the water. Press a little, pull back a little, and get a rhythm going. When you get 4/5ths of the way through, turn the stone over to see where the hole is going to come out. Mark it with a sharpie, knick that place with a ball bur and start drilling from the back. When the hole meets the other side, everything else becomes easy.
Widen the hole with successively larger (cheap) diamond drill bits, drilling under water. I find a 2.5 mm hole holds a nice rivet and makes a nice pendant.
