Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Ask most people what they remember about a wedding that they have attended and nine times out of ten, the answer will be the food. The difference, they would tell you, between a good wedding and a bad wedding is the food. Frozen pizza and a bowl full of chips is great for a sleep over but for a wedding reception, even a small one, fresh vegetables, appetizers, and a good hot meal is almost a must. Here are a few ideas for that tight wedding budget.

Try a wedding reception buffet with a couple of meat choices and tons of hot vegetables to save a little bit of dough. Even offering just one baked meat such as chicken is fine as long as there are plenty of side choices to go with it. Chicken is inexpensive and can be doubled as two selections since it can be prepared so many ways. Chicken can be fried, baked, broiled, or even served in a casserole and still be considered a main course.

It Is Never Too Late To Say I Do Again

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

I know a couple that has been married for fifty years. When they first tied the knot, they must have tied it well and double knotted it because they are more in love now than they ever were. I just had to ask what their secret is since I have been married twice myself and I’m hoping this one will last forever. What I learned is actually no secret at all. In fact, it is common knowledge that most of us tend to forget or take for granted from time to time.

John and Mary were poor when they married back in the fifties. He worked his heart out in the automobile industry and she waited tables deep into the night shift. They saved their money diligently and started a family. They encountered many difficulties over the years but the one thing they held true to was their love for each other. John told me that the secret to his marital longevity was simple. Whenever he tried to imagine what his life would be like if his Mary were suddenly gone it would scare him so bad that he knew he could not bear it. Mary told me just about the same thing. She looks at their friends who are married and thanks God every day that her John is not like the other husbands who stay out late at night and put their marriages second.
