Most wedding videos I've seen are pretty similar, some more interesting than others, some downright boring (unless you happen to be the bride or groom).

November 27, 2008 By 2 Comments
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday! At the turn of the century, Thanksgiving week was one of society’s grandest periods of social functions, according to Creative Bride, and getting married just before or just after Thanksgiving was highly fashionable. Today, a holiday wedding has its challenges and bonuses. For example, Thanksgiving weekend is the busiest travel time of the year, so travel plans would have to be finalized well in advance. However, family members … [Read more...]

Thinking about wedding photography often conjures up images of the bride surrounded by blooming things, embracing her beloved on a deserted beach, frolicking through a grassy meadow, or posing with family in front of blue, wide open skies. But if you are getting married in the big city, there may be no grass, trees, or wide open skies to be found. So what kind of backdrop will you choose for your pictures? Gaping tourist in the background, toting an "I LOVE NY" bags, for one thing! Kristin … [Read more...]

From paper to person: Evolution of a designer wedding dress
November 20, 2008 By 2 Comments
Brides.com has a sweet new feature (brought to my attention by Manolo) called Sketch to Dress, where wedding gown designers’ sketches and the end result of their work are posted side by side. Never teh Bride asks, "Do you ever find that the finished product is disappointing when compared to the sketch?" I personally think many of the dresses look better in the designer's head (transfered to paper) than the actual dress looks after it's made. But that is always the challenge of the artist: … [Read more...]

According to new research, the happy honeymoon ends after exactly two years, six months, and 25 days. It's not that things come crashing down into irreparable fragments, it's just that couples get into a rut and start taking each other for granted. Researchers found that after second wedding anniversary, men are far more likely to leave dirty washing on the floor and the toilet seat up, while women stop wearing make-up, slouch around in pyjamas and hog the TV remote control. By the third … [Read more...]

Well, Americans have a new president, and we can hope change is on the way. There's one area that many would agree could use a change for the better: women's sex life. According to HitchedMag's 3-part article on The Mysterious Orgasm: Many studies, including a 2001 global study of sexual behavior with over 27,000 participants revealed that orgasmic dysfunction is more the norm than the exception. One-third of all women have never experienced orgasm, while the second third had experienced … [Read more...]
