A passion driven by Weddings

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud ...

This extends to your family too.

While your wedding day is probably one of the most emotional and exciting days of your lives a as a couple, many Brides + Grooms forget that their parents

(if you still have them around) are going through a roller coaster

of emotions on your wedding day too.

So this is my advice on how to manage or control all these

emotions around you so you can still enjoy your day at the fullest.

GIVE YOUR PARENTS THEIR PLACE ON THE WEDDING.

I am not referring to education and manners, I mean really have

them do something exclusively. Like for example Mother of the Bride can be in charge of making sure everybody signs the Guest Book or Signature Book. You may Also have the Mother of the Groom have a special task on your Wedding day too.

Besides Hosting the showers and getting ready, sometimes you don´t want to get them too involved but you can`t leave them out of the picture.

Family is very important and the main reason of getting married is to form a NEW Family, so show some respect and always include the Mothers (Fathers) in something important related to this very special day:

YOUR WEDDING.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTO

by Angela Rhodes from

ON HER WEDDING DAY ANGELA http://www.ohsojoyous.com/

Had the great fortune of getting this amazing photos taken by

http://blog.matildeberk.com/

Where you can actually capture the feeling on Both The Bride + The Groom Mother's.

AMAZING!

The grooms mother at the reception:

I have never seen my mother in law laugh so hard and I just think it's a fantastic photo of her. The photo was taken during the father of the groom speech, the father of the groom was mentioning my husbands travels throughout the world and how he settled in Australia to study and how he met me there, then he began to talk about my husbands achievements; excelling at work at a young age, then living in remote parts of the world just to surf the best waves, and how he was destined to do great things with his high distinction average at university, right after saying that the flower girl who was 18 months at the time suddenly yelled out "UH OH!" It was hilarious against all the proud gloating the father of the groom was doing as well as the impeccable timing! The whole room just erupted and the photo really just captures that as well as the grooms mums pride.

The brides mother with the bride:

It tells a really nice story because as I was getting my hair done and my veil attached, the hairdresser put the veil high at the top of my head (which is what I had requested a few days earlier during the hair trial) my mother saw the finished product and was convinced it was too far forward and needed to be moved back. After some discussion with the photographer, the photographers assistant and my maid of honor we decided my mum knew best and so in this photo you can see her directing the hairdresser to where she thinks the veil should sit the photo also shows the evident stress on my face! I kept this photo and a few others in the series because it was a nice memory to have and I'm so happy she was there to fix things because it was so much better pulled back, and I am so happy that the moment was captured so well.

TO ALL THE MOMS IN THE WORLD: we love you!

PURPLE, VIOLET AND PINK

MARLENE & ARMANDO's Wedding Under the Rain

THIS IS JUST A PREVIEW FOR THE WEDDING WE HOSTED AT Secret jewel Celebrations Venue for Marlene & Armando's Wedding.

A very Intimate gathering,

just family members and a few friends.

It was a very rainy saturday july 9th in Playa del Secreto. As I was Coordinating the Wedding I decided to have the Reception in our lovely "palapa" and dance floor, lounge and DJ outside in case the weather got any better.

And it did finally after 3hrs the rain stopped and after dinner everyone went to the lounge area and enjoyed an amazing party.

It went on until 2am when Bride & Groom decided it was time to leave, and the rest of the party left behind them.

We were so happy marlene & Armando got to enjoy this very special day even with the bad weather we had during ceremony at our Chapel by the sea.

They had their kids school choir play the music on their ceremony.

The highlight of the wedding was the DESSERT TABLE and the wedding cake.

DELICIOUS AND VERY CUTE DESIGNS OF OUR PASTRY CHEF.

They ALSO HAD BUTTERFLY RELEASE

30 colorful "malachite" butterflies were released

by Marlene's 3 kids; with a box of 10 butterflies each.

I will Post this Wedding again with Photos form Cancun Wedding Photos and Video

Have a nice day!!!

ps. ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!

CUPCAKES AND MAKEUP

are my inspiration for this post.

So my sister's BFF is in town and they decided to have a girls night out.

I brought home some delicious carrot cake cupcakes and as they were getting ready to go out we had so much fun I came up with a GREAT idea for an activity to do with your bridesmaids on the days prior to your wedding.

Usually on Destination Weddings (and other weddings too) you get people (friends and family) who are on your bridesmaids list but maybe they don't get to hang very often or some of them don't know the rest of the group very well.

So this is my great idea:

CUPCAKES AND MAKE UP

at your suite/hotel room/house.

You can arrange for a professional make up artist to come and give you tips on how to do your own make up, which colors are the best for your skin type and you can all have fun, and SAVE one night to stay in and you can even get Cookie and cupcake flavored martinis (they have the same calories) and have a great night.

GREAT FOR BACHELORETTE SHOWERS ALSO.

TRUST ME SWEET & COLOR WILL ALWAYS BE A GREAT COMBINATION FOR A GET TOGETHER. It's a sleep over with a twist: GLAMOUR!

DO YOU EVER WONDER ...

... WHY YOU FEEL HOW YOU FEEL

WHEN YOU FEEL IT?

Butterflies in the stomach is a phenomenon characterized by the physical sensation of a "fluttery" feeling in the stomach. This sensation can be a physical sensation related to the body's fight or flight response or it can be an ineffable experience related to the psychology of love or nervousness and excitement. Some believe that this is caused by the release of adrenaline when one is nervous, which pulls blood away from the stomach and sends it to the muscles. This reduced blood flow, in turn, causes the stomach to temporarily shut down, and is possibly the reason for reduced appetite during love sickness.
