A friend of mine is such a fan of Audrey Hepburn and she was telling all about how she plans to use Moon River as her wedding song. You know how women are when it comes to planning their own wedding, they’ll be as detailed as possible even when there’s no groom in sight. She’s such a sweetheart and a romantic and I’m sure she’ll forgive me for having said that. She sent me a link to this great wedding video which used the very song (instrumental version). Check it out, have a listen to the song and tell me if you fell in love with it like I did. Wedding of Leeane and Andrew from Real Life Films on Vimeo. Apart from a fantastically made wedding video, the choice in background music to accompany the moving pictures... [Read more]

You know how it is that by the end of your own wedding party, you’ll come to realize that you don’t recall having tasted the food or worse, you don’t remember having eaten at all? It’s quite common and a lot of the people I know can attest to how often that happens. But let’s say you’ve got this wonderful opportunity to sneak in a sweet or two? Or having a couple of cupcakes reserved exclusively to the bride and groom? Image: Flickr - clevercupcakes Aren’t these little things adorable? I’m finding more and more reasons to love wedding cupcakes! Another idea would be to have these things act as the piece of cake — in this case, pieces are already properly “labeled” — that... [Read more]

Whoever said that you’re only limited to the bridal registry in terms of wedding gift hunting? Though I know it’s part of the wedding etiquette to adhere to the (gift) wishes of the couple but should it stop you from choosing to give them a meaningful and at the same time fun wedding gift? Consider giving them a his and hers Taken shirt. Image: cafepress.com.au/planetgordon I’m sure for the fun-loving close friend or family member, the idea of presenting such a gift can be a good idea. It’ll create more laughs and a fond memory. It something that can show wit and lightheartedness in an otherwise formal occasion. This t shirt can be a one of the gifts of the bride to the groom and vice versa. It doesn’t have to be... [Read more]

We’re pausing for a little bit of fun today as we joyfully announce the marriage of the sweetest couple, Mocha and Levi. Image: Flickr - geckoam The female is actually sporting pearls and a veil while the male is beefed up in a tux. These two dogs are truly appropriately dressed for the occasion. I wonder if they know the sort of commitment they’re getting into and who’s presiding over the ceremony? I can only imagine how much effort they’ve put in planning this wedding. I sure hope that Mocha and Levi prepared more than a set of barks for their wedding vows. I’ve known folks who dress up their pets on occasion; in shirts or some costume for Halloween or Christmas, but to dress them up for a wedding? It’s... [Read more]

I came across a little wedding tradition that I happen to think that’s something quite interesting. Serving groom’s cakes on weddings. I found out that this is a tradition typically associated with the American South1 and is usually flavored fruitcake. If wedding cakes are usually decorated white, light and more feminine, the groom’s cake takes on a more fun, elaborate and unconventional cake designs. Image: Flickr - tnsomethingspecialcakes The groom’s cake seen above is one of the better examples of how one can look like. It takes on the funny wedding cake topper showing off a bride dragging a fireman to the altar. Other designs can be as customized as the couple would prefer. It can be in a shape of a bongo, football... [Read more]
