Wedding, a money draining activity…

You have finally decided to tie the knot, with the person you want to live with for the rest of your life. Eversince you learned the word wedding, you have thoughts of how your dream wedding would be – perfect, romantic and breath-taking. You begin to be excited and want everything to be grand. But…

Now & Forever Invitations

Invitation site Now&Forever is offering Free Wedding Invitation Samples. I requested some, and I was pleased with their Loving Silver Hearts design. The hearts are metallic, much nicer than they seem in the photo. Very classy without being overdone. I also ordered the Burst Of Colors invitation, but they looked more like an invite to…

Post-Wedding Candles

What to do with all those lovely wax-covered candleholders after the wedding? Maybe everybody knows this already, but I found it to be life-changing. When your candle is burned up and you want to get the wax out of the holder, put it in the freezer for awhile. The wax contracts, loosens up, and you…

Home Fix-it

Before I met Marko, I was single for a looong time. I had lover(s) of course, but I preferred to fly solo. Which meant that I pretty much looked after myself. I was self sufficient and rather handy with a hammer. However, ever since getting married, my DIY skills have deteriorated to a point where…

His Wedding Band

We’ve talked a lot about engagement rings and our own wedding bands, but what about his ring? Your groom might not be as interested in wedding rings as you are, but this is still a piece of jewelry he will wear everyday! A simple gold band is classic, of course, but why not pick something…

Wedding and Money

Wedding is one of the most memorable day in a girls life. If only all the wedding may be a fiest for all but its not. Some wedding were not having that huge budget and it does affect the wedding per se. I have attended various wedding ceremonies. Both big and small. Most of the…
