      <![CDATA[Love is like wildflowers.
It is often found in the most unlikely of places
<br>
We cannot do great things
Only small things with great love
- Mother Teresa
<br>
There are in the end three things that last,
Faith, hope and love
And the greatest of these is love.
- 1 Corinthians 13:13
<br>
Love is being stupid together
-Paul Valery
<br>
If there is anything better than to be loved
It is loving.
<br>
To love is to place our happiness in the happiness of another.
- Leibnitz
<br>
Once in a while
Right in the middle of life
Life gives us a fairytale
<br>
Grow old with me
The best is yet to be.
- Robert Browning
<br>
Came but for friendship
And took away love.
- Thomas Moore
<br>
I will reveal to you a love potion,
without medicine, without herbs, without any witches magic.
If you want to be loved, then love.
- Hecaton of Rhodes

      A sand ceremony is ideal for wedding taking place on a beach, boat, backyard or in a windy location where unity candles will not stay lit or are unsafe. Like a unity candle, the sand is used to symbolize the joining of the bride and groom or the joining of their families.  The sand ceremony concept has been said to have roots in the Native American and Hawaiian wedding customs.

Many sand ceremony sets are available from wedding accessory retailers, but they are very easy to make and become even more personal when you create it on your own.
      <![CDATA[If you choose not to use a Unity Candle during your ceremony, the sand ceremony can be a beautiful and meaningful addition to your vows. Simply find three containers, one for you and your fiance to pour the sand into, two for each of you to pour the sand from. You can find colored or plain sand at most craft stores. After the officiant explains the tradition and he will perform the ceremony, beginning with reciting the words below, or words you prepare together.    The bride and groom will pour the two containers of sand into the third container simultaneously. You may wish to leave a small amount of sand in each containter to symbolize that although you are now joined as one, you each remain individuals.

_______ and _______, you have just sealed your relationship by the giving and receiving of rings and the exchange of a kiss, and this covenant is a relationship pledge between two people who agree that they will commit themselves to one another throughout their lives. The most beautiful example of this partnership is the marriage relationship. You have committed here today to share the rest of your lives with each other. Today, this relationship is symbolized through the pouring of these two individual containers of sand one, representing you, _______ and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, and the other representing you, _______, and all that you were and all that you are, and all that you will ever be. As these two containers of sand are poured into the third container, the individual containers of sand will no longer exist, but will be joined together as one. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will your marriage be. 

<u>Brown:</u> The color of earth and wood, signifying a solid and reliable soul. Brown helps to create a comfortable and open relationship, it personifies credibility, solidity, strength, and maturity.

<u>Blue:</u> The color of the ocean, symbolizing trust, loyalty, and ones dedication and commitment. Blue generates calming, tranquil, and a peaceful environment for an ever-lasting romance and relationship.

<u>Red:</u> The color of love. Red ignites a warm, loving, and passionate relationship, which encourage excitement and intensity, emotions not to be forgotten!

<u>Yellow:</u> The color of the sun, (meaning light) signifying consistency and joy! Yellow builds an optimistic, playful, positive disposition toward life, love and an ultimately a joyful relationship.

<u>Green:</u> The color of nature, renewal and vigor. Green balances the forces of compassion, energy and wealth; leaving a lasting impression and a sense of wonder for a realistic and natural relationship.

<u>Pink:</u> The color of happiness and tenderness. Pink is for the romantic softhearted soul, that has a calm inner-self. Pink inspires a playful and happy relationship.

<u>Orange:</u> The color of autumn and the sunset. Related to contentment, and wholesomeness; a relationship wrapped in orange will be safe, fulfilled and undeniably warm.

<u>White:</u> The color of innocence and peace. A clean and sanctuary soul describes a white personality; uplifting and refreshing wisdom are emotions that are evoked in a white relationship.

<u>Purple:</u> The color of loyalty, dignity and sophistication. Purple has unbelievable drive and passion; a very inventive soul chooses purple, which leads to a successful and prosperous relationship.]]>

      If you&apos;re planning an outdoor wedding or reception, or will be taking pictures outside in a garden, plan ahead for a breezy day!

This quick tip will only take a few minutes for each bridesmaid dress, but I can tell you how much you will appreciate it when your special day comes around.
      <![CDATA[Bridesmaid dresses are beautiful, but if it's a little breezy on the special day, billowing gowns can be a huge distraction for not only your bridesmaids, but also your guests!  And if the wind gets a little gusty, it can have downright embarrassing results.

Sure, you can drop a few Jordan almonds inside, but step it up a notch and make the gift more themed to your own wedding.  A charming way to accessorize a flower themed wedding is to personalize the bag with this sweet poem tied to the drawstring:

He loves me,
He loves me not,
He LOVES me
So we tied the knot!

Then, find flower themed chocolates or soaps to place inside.  Or help your guests welcome spring with a few spoonfuls of flower seeds.  Include the types of seeds and growing instructions on the reverse side of your personalized note.]]>

      Documenting your wedding using a professional photographer or photography team can eat up a large portion of your wedding budget.  You can save a considerable amount by selecting a basic package from a professional photographer and finding creative ways capture many memorable moments.
      Find a photographer that offers a variety of packages, including a basic package that includes the highlights of the ceremony, portraits of the wedding party and family and a few key reception moments.

Find several special guests that would be happy to contribute their services as designated photographers or videographers.  When having friends and family contribute in this way, it is beneficial to have more than one recording the event, just in case there is an equipment malfunction, blurry focus, etc.

Many of the special moments at the reception can be preserved by having your guests take photos using disposable wedding cameras.  Be sure to include a note or instructions so guests know to take many photos and where to leave the cameras when they are done.

Here are some great poems for disposable wedding cameras:

Here is a camera
Please use it a lot,
To take pictures of
What the photographer will not.

The flash is required
Because it is night.
If you don&apos;t use it
Pictures won&apos;t come out right.

Hold the front switch
Til the little light flutters.
It&apos;s all ready now!
Go ahead, press the shutter.

The perfect distance
Is four to ten feet.
Any nearer or farther
Will make it hard to see.

At the end of the evening
When all is film exposed,
Return to the gift table,
And we&apos;ll develop the photos.

*********

The bride and groom have a request
Put on a big smile
And look your best
When you see some fun
Take the hint
You snap the camera
And we&apos;ll make the print!

******

Take this camera and have some fun
Get some pictures of everyone!
Maybe you&apos;ll see something
We didn&apos;t see
That we can keep as a memory!
Thank you for sharing
This special day with us. 

******

This camera is for you to use
On this our wedding day 
Help us capture memories
Of friends and family at play
Share the camera with our guests
Some candid shots please take.
Then leave the camera when you&apos;re done.
So an album we will make.
You&apos;ve helped to make our special day
Complete with love and laughter.
Thank you all so very much
For the memories you did capture!

*******

Please lend a hand on this special day
To capture our wedding your own unique way
This isn&apos;t a very tedious task
Just a few snapshots, that&apos;s all we ask
The wonderful smiles, the joyous tears
Pictures to remember throughout the years
It&apos;ll be so special to see through your eyes
A simple pose, an elaborate surprise
So we can see pictures and remember when...
And relive this day again and again.

********
I&apos;m your camera - so have some fun,
You&apos;ll make this album a special one!
Snap away as best you&apos;re able,
Then leave me off at the gift table!

********
To celebrate this special day,
Pick a camera and really play.
Leave it on the table when you are through,
So we can develop the pictures taken by you.
This is a very special gift
For {insert the wedding couple&apos;s names} to see.
The reason it&apos;s so special is,
Because it&apos;s from you and me.
Take a posed or candid snapshot
And when all the film is through,
Leave the camera by the door
So they&apos;ll have these memories of you
