Weddings Weddings and More Weddings


Does it feel like you"re constantly going to weddings? Lately, it seems like everyone I know has been getting married. I understand how hard it is to actually go through getting married (I"ve done it), but now I have to sit through wedding after wedding and come up with things to do so not to be bored.

Try not to get lost in thought, but don"t go without thought completely. The simplest answer if you"re bored at a wedding is to just zone out. This actually works really well, but it definitely shouldn"t be done all the time. You don"t want your family or friends to know that you"re bored, and this will be a dead giveaway. Though, that"s not to say that you should never zone out. It"s best used sparingly, during times when no one will notice.

If you start to get restless in your seat, pull out your cellphone and say you have an important business call. This is an especially great escape device for getting out of having to talk to people you don"t like. It will also enable you to stretch your legs while you walk around and look at paintings on the walls or explore the building you"re in.

Meditation is another great thing to do. This works well when you can"t leave your seat. What you do is listen to all the sounds around you. This will include people talking, crying, laughing, sneezing, bells, etc. Listen to them as if you"re listening to music until their meaning starts to disappear. It helps if you focus on your breathing. To breathe out, just let the air fall out of you naturally and don"t force it. Do the same for inhaling. Let your body naturally start to inhale on its own. Eventually, this will slow your breathing down and your body will become very relaxed. As long as you don"t take it too far, you won"t zone out.

It helps if you realize why you"re actually bored. Sometimes you"re only bored simply because you"re not paying attention. Try turning your attention towards whatever is going on in the ceremony and really listen. Pay attention to every single word that every person is saying. Listen really carefully and you"ll develop a greater sense of awareness and will possibly become not bored anymore.

Sometimes boredom comes out of hatred. Do you dislike the person who"s wedding or event you"re at? Think about why you dislike this person. Do you even remember why? Try to purge your hatred and think about all the things you like about them instead. By the end of the ceremony I"m sure you"ll feel a lot better and will feel much more comfortable when approaching them to congratulate them or shake their hand or give them a hug.

So in the end, if you"re really bored, there"s probably a very good reason. If you"re able to recognize why this is, and more importantly if you"re able to correct it, I"m sure you"ll turn your boredom into something else and you may even have a good time.

Get More Out Of Your Wedding With These Tips


Every little girl dreams of her wedding day. It is a special occasion, full of romance, and one to be remembered forever. When it comes to planning that big day though, budget can often be of concern. How do you make your wedding everything that you have dreamed, but not break the bank? Here are some tips that can help.

Remember to serve non-alcoholic drinks at your wedding reception. When people are planning their wedding reception, they just assume all of their guests will want to drink alcohol, which is not always the case. Also, there may be children or teenagers at your wedding, who obviously, cannot drink alcoholic beverages.

When you are three months away from your wedding, ensure that the music aspect has been taken care of, look into the wedding official who will be conducting your ceremony, confirm the food and beverage menus for the venue, and follow up on the honeymoon planning that you started a few months prior.

Have an unexpected twist at your wedding to make it more memorable. If you are planning to have your wedding during the summer, consider having a winter related theme. If your wedding is planned for the winter, you could try a beach theme. Guests will remember that your wedding theme was different from the actual season.

If you"re really worried about guests at your wedding drinking too much, you can only offer a cash bar. When people are forced to pay for their alcohol, they"re less likely to drink as much. You could also make the bar cash-only, forcing people to go to an ATM if they run out of money which, when your drunk, isn"t easy.

Give the children who attend your wedding some responsibility to keep them occupied. If they have to guard the ring with their life, or count how many people come in the doors, they"ll have something to do and it should keep the boredom at bay. They may need to have different tasks to keep occupied, though, as they could become tedious.

If you want to get married in an exotic location, think about the legal implications. Countries have different laws when it comes to marriage, especially regarding the exchange of possessions. Make sure both spouses are happy with what a foreign marriage contract means, and that the both of you are eligible to get married under these laws.

Distribute disposable cameras to those that attend your wedding. Make sure to ask each guest to take as many shots as they can. You"ll undoubtedly get some priceless returns for your effort. Informal wedding shots are often the best.

Invest some of your wedding budget on personalized gifts for friends. Your friends and family are part of what makes your life together so special. Give them something that reflects your gratitude. Customize it so they have a memento of your special day that they will want to enjoy for years to come.

Planning for and creating your dream wedding on a budget is possible. As we have discussed in this article, creativity is a must. Following some simple tips is just as important. You don"t have to compromise if you don"t want to break the bank, you just have to think a little outside the box.
