No matter if your ceremony is formal or casual, large or intimate, most likely there are wedding rings to be presented.
If you have having a wedding with a processional or an intimate gathering, consider a unique way to present your rings.
I encourage a couple to ask a special relative or friend to contribute an item on which to present the rings. This could be a book, a beautiful old-fashioned pillow w/a story, a crafted box, in a special shell from a sentimental place or perhaps looped around the neck of a stuffed childhood animal. This way, instead of the "usual pillow," you have a beautiful memento to take home from your ceremony and you have honored a special person in your life.

Title: Getting Creative at Camp
We saw the potential for the waves the day before so we got motivated and set our alarms to get up early. We woke up at 6am ran down the forest to check the surf, before having tea, or breakfast, but onshore wind, and rain showers send us all back to our sleeping bags. Kassia and Lee-Anne decided to go brave the victory at sea and surf the beach brake down the street. In the meantime Jen, Lindsay and I headed to the hardware store and bought 5 cans of spray-paint with the intentions of getting creative back at the camp. We all meet up back at the house, and we decided to get all Cray Cray on the tent, and some random pieces of canvas, so we spent the afternoon making stencils, and transformed an average tent into a master piece. Then we decided to head to the movie store, and have a movie night Day 11 has been one of my favorite days on the Road trip, as this lay day gave us all the opportunity to show off our creative skills. I was pleasantly surprised with everyone’s skills, especially Lindsay stencils. Fingers crossed the surf is fun in the morning

When a couple incorporates rituals, themes or traditions from the Hawaiian tradition, this makes a wedding ceremony extra sweet.
As I move into this year, I find that four of my couples are weaving in Hawaiian pieces into their ceremonies. There are many ways to do this. Chip and Susanne were married recently at St. Paul's Church in Port Gamble and being that Chip has family and history from Hawaii, this couple exchanged leis at the beginning of their ceremony and also offered leis to family members.
Using the koa wood bowl for the blessing of the rings and ring exchange is also something that I'm writing into a few ceremonies that I am working on.
And here's what's true: if you'd like to incorporate Hawaiian tradition/ritual into your ceremony and don't have ties to the Hawaiian culture, "just do it!" A wedding ceremony is all about finding what resonates with your heart and Hawaiian marriage customs/traditions are beautiful in all ways.

How could you not fall in love with Mike and Ann Huffman? Over the past couple of months, I so enjoyed working with this couple to create and deliver their wedding ceremony. Mike and Ann have an amazing story and with 60 family and friends, we celebrated their remarkable love story and commitment this past week.
Photographer Ron Shaw from Always Focused On You Photography (www.always-focused-on-you.com) captured the special moments. Mike and Ann were so blessed to have Ron and his team on hand as Ron is one of the best wedding photo guys in the Pacific Northwest!
From the cloudy sky to the wind that whipped up in the middle of the ceremony - to the personalized vows - to the special memorial candle - and so much more, it was a beautiful and poignant ceremony. And what a fun couple, too! This duo really knows how to entertain and kick things up!

Just take a peak at Lili and Jacob's photo taken by Flowertoss Photography during their wonderful wedding ceremony at Robinswood House in Bellevue.
Laughter ~ giggles ~ big and small smiles ~ all of this has a perfect and elegant place within a contemporary wedding ceremony.
Remarkably, I find that many people have not been to a wedding ceremony where the "joy bar" has been raised ~ i.e., where laughter and appropriate humor are a piece of a marriage ritual.
In most of the ceremonies that I create and deliver, I like to weave in bits of humor and laughter. Of course, this all depends on the couple, their background/traditions and "where we're going with a ceremony."
And overall, I have found that touches of laughter, sweetness and glee add a flourishing touch to a memorable moment.

Title: Mac and Rachel 1988--Elegant, Striking, Dashing? Fine.
I'm guessing this was before the 1988 Snowflake Ball, since Mac and Rachel are both wearing white, and it came after the previous scene I posted with Rachel and Matthew discussing St. Croix and the circumstances of Matthew's conception, which I will also venture to guess is the reason Rachel is so preoccupied in this scene.
Rachel helps Mac with the vest for his white tie and tails as he tells her that his flight home spent so much time taxiing around at the airport that he thought drive him wild, and Arnold Schwarzenegger was sitting next to him on the plane but slept through the whole flight, including the movie and dinner. Once the vest is on, Mac asks Rachel how it looks, and she says it looks fine. "Just fine?" Mac asks. "You don't think it's elegant? Striking? Dashing?" He hams it up in front of the mirror.
"What?" Rachel asks distractedly.
Mac lets out a puff of laughter. "Oh, please. Fine," he says since Rachel didn't agree with any of his adjectives. Thanks to Eddie for the scene.

- Introduce yourselves [Name, role, and favorite pick-up line]
Mike [Guitar]: Did it hurt, when you fell from Heaven?
Cassadee [Vocals]: What are your hobbies?
Has anyone used a pick-up line on you while touring?
Cassadee: A good friend of ours said the pick-up line that I just said. I thought it was hilarious. I hope someday I would get hit on that way. I usually dont like getting hit on, but if someone said that I would be like Oh, surprisingly you asked. Then I would actually talk to them.
Do you want to answer the next question with an accent?
Yes.
Whats one thing you get tired of being asked?
Cassadee: How does it feel being compared to Paramore?
Mike: Probably, Hey, do you know when Alex and Jack are coming out to sign? Can you get them for me? I hate that question.
You got your bands name from a girl from San Francisco, have you met her yet?
Cassadee: No, we havent. She was just a girl from Friend and Enemies.
Mike: Im starting to believe she is a fake girl in our imagination.
So the songs 6 Months and How You Love Me Now talks about a guy, are both songs referring to the same guy?
Cassadee: Yeah, thats quite interesting because Ive never been asked that.
So its been about a year since Hold On Tight has been released, so are you planning to make another album any time soon or release another single?
Cassadee: We are releasing another single. If that does well, hopefully, we could release another one. We do want to release another album within the next year because it is almost time. We still have a long way to go and spread our fan base more.
Whats your favorite lyric from the album Hold On Tight?
Cassadee: Its from Shouldve Tried Harder and its You stand tall like youve won some kind of award/ But really Ive never seen someone so short of a dollar/ If you gave me some more. It is kind of weird because I wrote it. I dont know if that sounds conceited or anything. Im proud of it.
If you are planning to have your wedding ceremony on a beach or very near the water, I invite you to take a few pointers from Jason and Anna's wedding ceremony...
- Not to short, not too long. Many waterside weddings have the grand fortune of good weather and like Jason and Anna, a very hot day. Work with your Officiant to insure the ceremony is just the right length so people are not baking in the sun!
- Pre-ceremony refreshments. Yes, your guests will hugely appreciate some lemonade or punch before the ceremony, particularly on a very hot day.
- Standing position. Work with your Officiant on how/where you will stand as a couple during your ceremony. This allowed Jason and Anna's photographer, Barbie Hull, to get some great photos and as usual, I moved around so the focus was truly on this couple.
- Use the beach/waterfront for a grand group photo. A waterside group photo is a marvelous "thank you" to include in your post-wedding note to guests.

Title: Fence Installation Tips: Choosing and Planning Your Fence
Lowe's home improvement expert, Mike Kraft, shares helpful tips on how to choose and plan your fence. Before fencing installation, you should understand what your fence should do. Do you want it to provide privacy or decoration? Or would you like it to keep in pets? Then, you can choose whether you would like privacy fencing, semi-privacy fencing or decorative fencing.
After, you need to pick from a vinyl, steel, aluminum or wood fence. Wood is a more traditional fencing material, but it does need to be cleaned or stained fairly regularly. Steel fencing should be painted every few years or so to keep up its look. However, if you are looking for easier maintenance routines, try vinyl or aluminum fencing.
Lastly, before beginning installation, you need to decide on component or panel fencing. Component parts allow the fence to more easily follow the ups and downs of your property. Panels, on the other hand, don't quite allow for strict following but can be somewhat replicated with a stair stepping pattern.
Finally, once you have finished choosing your new fencing, you can begin installation. To watch more videos on fencing installation, visit http://www.Lowes.com/Videos
"I don't understand," said Don. "My business is going well. I'm a good provider. I give my wife and the children everything they want. We live in a beautiful house and we drive expensive cars. Last winter I took the whole family on a trip to Mexico. I don't fool around with other women. I do play golf every Sunday with the guys. But a man needs some recreation. I don't understand why I seem to do so well at work, but when I come home I feel like a failure!
My wife, Sue, is always nagging me. She either has a headache or is too tired to be sexual. Sue spends outrageous amounts of money at her favorite sport, shopping. That woman finds more things to buy than I or she can ever get to use.
When I met Sue she was slim and attractive. She has put on at least twenty-five pounds and doesn't seem to take care of herself. Nor does she want to do anything for me. She won't iron my shirts anymore or get up early enough to make my breakfast. I'm lucky if I get a decent dinner once in a while. I'm sick and tired of not feeling good enough for her. No matter what I do, Sue is not happy.
My kids are disappointing too. They have so much more than I ever did. Do you think they're happy and grateful? No way. All they do is whine for more, watch television, or fight with each other. Their grades are nothing to rave about, and I know that they are bright. I talk to the other guys and they seem to have a similar scenario.
When Sue told me that she had called you, Helene, for an appointment I asked her why. She said that she was depressed. I asked Sue to talk to me about her problems but she wouldn't. She told me that I'm not hearing her. I think I do hear Sue. I hear her nag, nag, nag. Now she has threatened to leave me if I don't come to therapy too. There is nothing wrong with me. I'm a very successful man. Many people respect and admire me. I want you to know that I'm here but I only came because Sue made me, and I resent it."
"Don," I replied, "thank you for coming in and sharing all your frustrations. If it is any consolation, I want you to know that I have heard these same complaints hundreds of times before with the many couples I have counseled. You are unique, but your problem is not. You see, Don, you probably have been brought up like most men by your parents and society to believe that your role as a husband and as a father is to be the provider. From what you told me, you have learned your job well and are a success.
However, Don, a relationship requires much more than financial success. A relationship needs feelings expressed. It is interesting Don, that you never mentioned how much you love your wife and children."
"Of course, I love my family!" Don exclaimed. "They know that. I don't need to keep telling them."
"Don," I continued, "quite the contrary. They need to hear that you love them and they need to experience your caring by the things you say and do, and not just by what you give to them."
For example, Don, when was the last time you and Sue spent time talking or cuddling? Sue told me that you were romantic when you were dating but stopped after you were married. Keeping the romance alive is very important to most women. Send her flowers and cards, leave her loving notes, hug her when you come home, tell her you love her daily. Ask Sue how her day was, and listen to her. Don't try to solve her problems, just be supportive and let her know that her feelings are valid even if they are not logical.
Don, also be attentive to the children. Spend quality time with them, and be playful and loving. Let them know how much you care and appreciate them for who they are. Tell them to be their unique selves. Take the time to tuck them into bed and kiss them good-night.
You see, Don, you can't buy love. You have generously given them your money but what they want and need even more than that is you. What makes a difference in their lives is the quality of love they feel from you. That takes your time, your attention, and your willingness to express your feelings."
Don looked perplexed. He didn't realize that he was making the biggest mistake men make in relationships. He didn't realize that he wasn't giving himself. From Don's left brain (logical) perspective, he was doing everything right. It's true that he wasn't doing anything wrong. It was just that Don was missing a big piece of the puzzle.
To help Don really understand what I was expressing to him, I asked him to close his eyes and to imagine that his parents and he and Sue were standing in front of him. Don noticed the similarities in the two relationships, and the same problems. He realized that he had learned from his father how to be a husband, who had learned from his father and down through the generations. Unfortunately, Don had no feeling male models. Even his grandfather was always busy making a living, and rarely spent time with the family.
In the process, Don realized how much he missed feeling his grandfather's and father's love when he was growing up, and how much he needed it. Don also noticed that he never saw his father being affectionate and loving to his mother. He had no role model of how to express love to his wife and children.
Don continued to work with me and succeeded in healing his inner child and learning more loving ways to be and to communicate with his family. Sue also did the same. Don and Sue are now in a loving relationship with each other and the children. They were amazed how well the children responded to the expression of caring to each other and to them. The children started to do better in school and there were a lot less fights. In fact, Sue and Don pride themselves as a happy loving family.
