Wedding Planning Tips

A popular Saudi Arabian custom involves two men marrying each other’s daughters to strengthen business and friendship ties.
Al-Qahtani married his teenage daughter to his business partner and in turn married his business partner’s teenage daughter.
When asked if they had consulted their daughters, Al-Qahtani said: “I did not ask my daughter. I don’t have to. I know what is beneficial for her. When I told her what I had planned, she was happy. If she hadn’t been, she would have told her mother.”
He added: “Saudi girls, especially bedouins, prefer to marry old men. This is what my third and fourth wives have both told me. They keep telling me they are glad that they did not marry young men.”
As for the wedding ceremony, Al-Dossary said: “Indeed, we had a wedding ceremony. We were not stealing, so there was no need to hide things. We had a party for women. However, the men’s party was only for me, my brothers, Al-Qahtani, his brothers and the marriage official. We provided our wives with huge dowries and valuable gifts, far more than anything any young men could have given them.”
“You marry my daughter and I’ll marry yours”

I need to record a short 20-30 second video toast for an employee of mine who is getting married overseas. he’s an IT guy. any ideas for something short, sweet, and funny.

I’m a brides-maid at my cousins wedding and the dress is coral. I need to find shoes that match the dress but i don’t know what colors go best. What color shoes should I be looking for?

Okay before people start getting like, “you have to worm your dog, etc.” I have wormed her. I’ve wormed her twice as per instructions to the vet, who gave me the worm medicine. The second time wormed her was Wed, Thurs, and Fri of last week. I followed my vets instructions to the tee and tonight just all of sudden she popped and there was like a lot of worms in just like one stool. **trying to not sound disgusting** I mean the vet did tell me that she would have some dead worms and I’ve seen some dead/dying ones after I worm her yes so I knew that I would see worms. But still it was a lot of worms. They were kinda flat looking and most were still moving it looked like. I took her to the vet the Monday before I wormed her and the vet said that she was perfectly healthy. Am I worrying over nothing? I’m still planning on calling the vet in the AM to make sure anyway but I was just wondering other peoples opinion. Also as a sidenote: she has had her first shot and is getting ready to have her second set in a couple of weeks. She is 7 1/2 weeks old. And yes I know that this is too young for her to be away from her mother but due to circumstances beyond my control, the mother is no longer in this world so I have been hand raising this puppy since she was 4-5 weeks old with the help of a vet of course.

My love story
One day, I decided to go for a walk at night, as I went along, I wondered my thoughts to the starry sky with a full moon glowing incredibly bright, with this I suddenly felt in some way lonely and sort of calm like as if someone was saying goodbye and never to return again; then suddenly I remembered my days during elementary school…
During those days I remembered this particular girl who approached me after class; I was on the school’s park usually playing alone since I didn’t get along with my classmates before, she was really energetic and often smiles a lot though we only had a short talk, I remembered feeling a bit warm and fuzzy inside my heart like I want to be with her all the time. Ever since that day I always try waiting for her along the gates of our school but never letting her know that I was watching her. It completes my day whenever she talks to me, and just by hearing her voice makes me day dream about being wed with her, it was a short time though, and I suddenly realized it was already graduation, I never got the chance to tell her how I feel although we were still kids back and even though she might not understand about the feeling of being in love out of the idea of being young sort of stuff like being innocent, but still by not trying to tell her that’s the main thing that bothered me.
As I was thinking all of these, I realized I was already in the park of our village. Upon arriving I lay down on the grass looking out on the stars at night wishing that I may find another chance to love again. Life gets too boring nowadays; I don’t really have any problems getting a girl but… I do get shy around them and after that I start to avoid them when I know that I like them, I don’t know why, but… maybe because I was scared to get rejected. You see I never had any good memories with me since I was born. My mom works abroad while I was a kid and back then most guardians that I’m with would often treat me like a trash and make me feel like I’m just a nobody, same goes with the most of the kids along the block, that’s why I didn’t have any friends to begin with ever since I was born of this world, well maybe a few friends only when I was at highschool but we don’t get to spend the day together like anybody else since we’re too busy studying, I may have been studying on private schools but it’s no different to any other schools maybe just on tuition fees that are ridiculously high and the uniforms and all. I grew up not having that confidence in me, not until I reached my fourth year in high school did I started to change the way I go about in my life especially on the way that I dress and my character became even worse like that of the saying “silent waters run deep”, I started to like wearing formal clothes and become serious with everything that lay on the circle of my responsibility, well that is in terms of what I normally do, but still it is quite different with girls.
I may receive love letters and stuff that I really didn’t expect to receive, I think whenever I try to avoid girls all the more they try to get near me, so it kind of a surprise to me everyday when I go to school even when I was in my college years; I guess they only did it since they’re curious about what I’m thinking, most of them as what I hear among my guy friends is that I had this aura of being mysterious among girls since I’m too quiet and that the only time that I would speak would be the time that I answer only during recitations or do something about class work or research and Icontinued to do routine this until my graduation day..
Well now… I’m on a park resting under a starry night alone, not until a heard a girl scream along the small lake inside the park, so I went along to find who it was. When I got there I saw her drenched with lake water so I offered my hand and jacket to help her out, upon seeing her stand in front of me face to face I was stunned looking at her beautiful eyes like a bright star burstingout in the galaxy and an incomparable beauty of her appearance as if I saw an anime girl come to life! She was like a falling star that came to this world that I wished for. Struck by her beauty I suddenly burst out from my thoughts one of the most stupid and hardest words a man could every say it was… “I love you”; realizing what I just said I started to panic and didn’t actually know what to say, and what made it worst was when I started feeling the goose bumps creeping on me from toe to head and a warm feeling like I am going to collapse.
To Be Continued…

What’s a reasonable amount? I am in two wedding within 3 weeks of each other and one is getting very expensive. The dress was $270 plus they requested alterations on the chiffon so it hits above the knee (chiffon is expensive to alter, and I’m short so it will definitely be below the knee!) plus shoes, nail polish, hair, shower gift, wedding gift, etc. for one wedding. My husband is umemployed right now and I am usually living paycheck to paycheck. I have student loans, credit card debt, and so on. What really sucks about this is all of the other bridesmaids are pretty well off and can afford it, no problem. However, when she asked me to be a bridesmaid I didn’t know that everything would be so expensive. I assume the dress and everything is average price to pay but then I hear that the bachelorette party is planning for either Vegas or California.
Well I definitely can’t afford that, much less would my husband want me to go to vegas for a bachelorette party. The MOH is planning it and I don’t know if the bride is aware that she is planning for such an expensive trip. Is flying somewhere for a bachelorette weekend excessive or is what brides are doing now?
I know when I had my bachelorette party my friends were all still in college or had just graduated but I was considerate of their financial situation and planned a weekend that was inexpensive for everyone and we all had a blast.
How much is too much?

First of all get some work experience,with any Events Management co.you will understand the Wedding Planning.

I am getting married in 2 weeks and still haven’t found a dress I like. I don’t want a huge fancy dress because it’s going to be in a court house. I’d like something simple and affordable. I’d prefer something with some kind of sleeves or wide straps, also with an empire waistline. I’ve checked out sites for Sears, JCPenny, and Dress Barn. Can you give me some other ideas?

“Lilacs”
The time to close the old house up had come around
At last, and she could not lay it aside, nor could
She turn her mind away from thoughts of childhood ease
When summer lay so languidly on sunny slopes
And stretched from rosy-fingered dawn to dun-gray dusk.
The old field where the lilacs grew she favored most,
Remembering enchantment, breathless, with bright eyes
And dancing for long hours, beneath the lilac boughs
Bent down with pale-purple panicles, redolent,
Resplendent in their regal robes, and the four lobes
Of each corolla perfumed with its May-time musk
That made the dusk of eventide the stuff of dreams.
The hallway where the children laughed was quiet now,
Their mirth a memory that resonated still
In quiet corners no one had explored in years.
And in the farthest one, beside the cellar door,
A pile of books lay toppled like a ruined tower,
Their leaves now faded by the sun that filtered in
The little window over them in afternoon.
At last, atop them all like a flag planted there
By some explorer of their muted mysteries,
There lay the cane her father used in later years,
When crippled by the ravages of time and tide,
He’d gone to roost, resigned at last, beside the fire.
The fondness that he’d had for that old crooked stick
She could not understand; when she came to visit
For the holidays a few years back her heart sank
When she saw him, a frail reminder of the strength
Of limb and laughter she remembered from her youth.
She’d noticed only the next morning that the trees,
The blessed lilacs of her carefree younger years,
Had been cut down, and wondered at the sense of it
And what great purpose had been served when beauty died.
She’d only learned the reason when she went to leave;
The sturdy wood and fragrant boughs that buoyed him
In youth and courtship served another purpose now.
Poor fool, thought she, who could destroy a thing so soaked
In memory, the spot where days of tender youth
Were spent in May morn fantasy, the place where he
Had courted and had wed and on an evening spread
A blanket out beneath night’s vault of moonlit peace
For this, a rough, unfinished piece of homely wood.
And yet, despite the anger that welled up in her,
She raised the handle to her face and wept, as though
By watering this stick, the tree could grow anew,
And bloom in perfect panicles and fill the air
With the perfume of youth, and at the thought she smiled
So softly it was heard around the world and left.
