			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A wedding is something that has to be planned with lots of fore thought and arrangements. Though it may seem that the wedding planning is a hectic and tedious process, if you stay calm and keep yourself organized, you find that the planning of the wedding is not that hard.</p>
<p>The most important part of the wedding planning is choosing the date for the wedding ceremony and reception. Choose a date that is okay for both of you. Once the date is fixed, the venue or location of the wedding has to be decided on. You can hold the wedding ceremony and reception either in different places or in a single place. If you have a special place in mind for your wedding, you may have to be flexible weight your wedding date as you may not find your venue available on the stipulated date.</p>
<p>Once the date and venue is decided, you have to plan the actual wedding ceremony. When you plan your wedding, make sure it reflects your personality as a couple. Many people plan weddings that are out of the box; by imitating other&#8217;s wedding ceremonies. It is not necessary to have a big theme wedding; what is important is to incorporate your interests and priorities in the ceremony and wedding reception.</p>
<p>When you plan your wedding, make sure that you budget it with care as the wedding industry is always on the lookout to make a profit. This is why you will be tempted into spending money on things that you don&#8217;t need and is available for a lower rate elsewhere. Planning in advance helps in avoiding budget headaches; so shop around for the items that are found affordably, for your wedding.</p>
<p>It is not necessary to plan a big and fancy reception if you can&#8217;t afford it. The size and expense for the wedding is not important, it is the music, readings and wedding vows at the ceremony that is important. If you plan to have an outdoor wedding, make sure that you have alternate plans for the wedding, in case you get rained out on the wedding day. Let someone else have a list of the phone numbers of wedding vendors in case they don&#8217;t come up on time for the wedding.</p>
<p>Though the bride is the person responsible for most of the wedding planning; this does not imply that the groom need not be involved. Remember that a wedding is a partnership; so start the partnership by planning the wedding together. Discuss details of the wedding, and your individual preferences and make compromises if you have different views.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Picture this. It is your wedding day and your bride enters the church gracefully. It is time for some soulful melody to accompany her entry. But the first chords of the piano and you wake from your dreamy state. The reason is a completely out of tune pianist. Wedding ceremony music can make or break your wedding. It creates the atmosphere and mood that you associate with the most memorable day of your life. So it better be the best.</p>
<p>Since wedding music has such an important role to play, it is important to discuss it with your Charlotte wedding planner. Choosing the correct wedding music in Charlotte for all occasions included in the wedding will make a wedding to remember.</p>
<p>Bridal shower music is one aspect of pre-wedding music that is most of the times not given much importance. What type of music you will play during a bridal shower depends on the theme of the bridal shower. If there is no theme, only socializing is expected then going for soft background music is the best choice. The age of the guests will also be a major deciding factor in deciding on the music. It is always advisable to choose music that will appeal to a wide cross section of guests. If dancing is expected, then choose peppy songs. Try and include the songs which the bride enjoys since it is her special day.</p>
<p>On the day of the wedding, choose wedding ceremony music that is played by a Charlotte wedding musician live or one which is prerecorded depending on the plan that the Charlotte wedding planner has chalked out. The music should be relaxing and intimate. Soft instrumental or jazz music goes well with all moods.</p>
<p>The wedding ceremony music played during the actual wedding ceremony will depend on the location of the wedding. A church wedding is usually highlighted by a choir that sings hymns, accompanied by the church pianist. For outdoor wedding ceremonies, a live music band is good.</p>
<p>Wedding reception entertainment is important as it is an occasion to celebrate. The mood should be livelier. Hence ask the Charlotte wedding musician to play country, jazz, R&amp;B or even rock music depending on your taste and wedding theme.</p>
<p>Choose a wedding musician who has experience playing at wedding ceremonies. If possible listen to their recorded music before making your final decision. Make sure that the musician has a reputation of reaching the venue well before time. Inform him about the theme of the wedding so they can decide on the music and rehearse well in advance.</p>
<p>The Charlotte wedding musician you hire should not only play good music which is suitable for the occasion but also add glitz and glamor to the ceremony. He should be suitably dressed for the occasion. Make sure that he plays music that is not monotonous or overwhelming since the guests wouldn&#8217;t be comfortable to dance with it. A good Charlotte wedding musician will be sure to ask you the age bracket within which the guests fall. That way, he can plan what type of music he will play.</p>
<p>Your wedding is once in a life time experience. Ensure that you choose the right kind of musicians and music so that it begins and ends on a soulful note.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here in the west, we have certain customs regarding the exchange of wedding rings that seem perfectly normal to us: a double ring exchange where the groom puts the ring on his bride&#8217;s hand followed by the bride doing the same for the groom. Types of rings used are typically gold, with the woman&#8217;s ring often encrusted in diamonds.</p>
<p>Changing Customs and Lasting Traditions</p>
<p>Elsewhere, the way that rings are exchanged, the types of rings used, and certain other formalities are acceptable, customs which are often brought with them when families emigrate abroad. Is there a right way to give and exchange wedding bands? Yes: in whatever way you feel is right! Customs are changing, but one thing remains the same: couples are sealing their marriage vows with an exchange of rings no matter where they live in the world.</p>
<p>The rings given &#8211; Without a doubt, gold is the metal of choice for brides and grooms when they marry no matter where in the world that they live. Platinum is an also prized, but often too expensive for couple living in emerging nations, while silver is favored by some who appreciate its look and value. Diamonds and less popularly, other gemstones are often included, particularly for the woman&#8217;s ring. Some men are coming around and accepting diamonds on their own rings, but in most cases men prefer a wedding ring that is understated and won&#8217;t get in the way of their work.</p>
<p>The way that they are presented &#8211; Ring bearers are sometimes included in wedding ceremonies to present the wedding bands to the bride and the groom. In other cases, the best man will hold the rings and present them at the appropriate time during the wedding ceremony.</p>
<p>In some European countries, the bride&#8217;s wedding band is the same ring given for engagement &#8211; the only difference is that a special engraving is made (usually with the wedding date and sometimes the names of the couple inscribed). Which hand the ring ends up on can vary from country to country and from religious faith to religious faith; these days most modern brides simply choose the most favorable way to display their wedding bands that appeals to them alone.</p>
<p>The meaning of the rings &#8211; In all cases, the exchange of wedding bands symbolizes the couple&#8217;s fidelity to each other. For the devout, wedding bands represent that plus their relationship to God whom they see as the central part (foundation) of the relationship.</p>
<p>Some women prefer to wear their wedding rings on the bottom of their finger with the engagement ring first, while for others just the opposite holds true. The &#8220;closer to the heart&#8221; meaning is important to some, while the convenience of easily removing the engagement ring while at work or doing chores is important to others.</p>
<p>One, Two, or Three or More Rings?</p>
<p>In time&#8217;s past, only one ring would be given and that ring would be from the man to the woman when they got married or were first engaged. A different economic climate limited the options of yesteryear&#8217;s couples, but in many cases those restrictions are no longer in place.</p>
<p>Today, couples from around the world are enjoying an economic tide that is raising the financial prospects of billions of people, allowing the man to give an engagement ring, the couple to exchange rings at their wedding ceremony, and the couple once again exchanging eternity or anniversary rings later on in their marriage.</p>
<p>Whichever way that you choose to demonstrate your love, quality engagement, wedding, and anniversary rings are bands that are meant to stand the test of time, symbolic representatives of your relationship.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some might find this hard to believe, but planning a cheap wedding is quite easy to do. It&#8217;s also great fun and can be really unique and creative too! So if you&#8217;re planning a cheap wedding in the future, here are some great tips and ideas for you&#8230;</p>
<p>1. Cheap Wedding Locations. Planning a cheap wedding location is not impossible. In fact, you can have wedding ceremonies in a variety of places that are completely free. The local park is a great example. There&#8217;s usually no cost to go to a public park, and planning a cheap wedding ceremony there doesn&#8217;t usually require any permits or other fees either. Double check with your local city authorities just to be sure first of course.</p>
<p>The Beach is another free place to have a wedding ceremony, as is many churches for that matter. Other ideas include: Having your ceremony at a family member&#8217;s home, or having the ceremony in your own back yard. If the wedding couple loves nature, it may be free or very inexpensive to have the wedding ceremony at a local zoo, nature reserve, or flower conservatory too.</p>
<p>2. Cheap Wedding Receptions. Planning a low cost wedding reception is not too difficult either. One way to keep the reception super cheap is to make it a pot luck meal. You can have the guests each bring their own dish, and this could be requested in place of having them buy you wedding presents if you&#8217;d like.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d rather not ask guests to bring food for your wedding reception, then ask a few family members to get together and cook the food as a wedding gift to you.</p>
<p>Planning a cheap wedding reception should also involve choosing cheap or free locations for the reception too. Try to make the wedding reception co-incide with the ceremony in some way. If you plan to have your wedding ceremony in the gazebo at the park for instance, then plan for the reception to be a barbecue or picnic style event in that same park.</p>
<p>Another easy and cheap example of course, is if you have the wedding ceremony in your home. Then you can plan to have the reception in your home as well, or out in the backyard if the weather is nice. If you&#8217;re planning a cheap wedding on the beach, an excellent reception idea is to have a beach party afterwards&#8230; bonfire and all.</p>
<p>3. Cheap Wedding Decorations. When planning a cheap wedding you&#8217;ll of course need to keep the cost of decorations down as much as possible. You don&#8217;t have to go without them completely though, you just need to improvise.</p>
<p>Instead of buying expensive flowers for instance, try decorating with balloons and streamers instead. Go to a local craft or fabric store and buy a few spools of pretty ribbon, then tie the balloons together with strips of the ribbon done up in a bow. Also tie the ribbons into bows themselves, then tape the ribbon bows around for decorations by themselves.</p>
<p>Another idea for creating inexpensive table decorations is to simply collect some pretty rocks. Wash them clean, then arrange them creatively on tables or other surfaces. You could even paint the rocks to match your desired wedding color theme.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a great idea if you&#8217;re planning a low cost wedding that will have an outdoor, picnic or barbecue style reception: buy pretty paper plates and napkins instead of using expensive china dishes.</p>
<p>As you can see with just these few ideas, planning a cheap wedding can actually be a lot of fun!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Although the practice of wearing a wedding ring has been largely confined to women for hundreds of years, the past fifty years have seen a considerable rise in the number of men choosing to wear a wedding ring. Despite this, the wearing of mens wedding rings is not entirely accepted today.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although the wearing of mens wedding rings is becoming increasing common today this is a relatively recent change and is still not entirely accepted by many men.</p>
<p>It has been traditional for woman to wear wedding rings almost since history began and there are records of an exchange of rings at wedding ceremonies way back to the times of ancient Egypt. Nevertheless, it was rare for a man to wear a wedding ring following the marriage ceremony until after the Second World War.</p>
<p>Many people have suggested that this was for purely economic reasons and that it is only the relative affluence that many societies now enjoy that has made this practice possible. There is undoubtedly some validity in this argument and it may indeed be a significant reason for men not previously wearing wedding rings, but it is certainly not the only reason.</p>
<p>Wearing a wedding ring mean stating publicly that you are married and, while this has rarely been seen as a problem for women, many men are less than happy to advertise the fact that they are married. This is undoubtedly changing today, but still remains a strong influence for many men, while others simply wear their ring when it suits them and remove it when it does not.</p>
<p>As an interesting aside, men in Greece and Italy are often given &#8220;puzzle&#8221; wedding rings by their brides. These rings consist of a series of interlocking metal rings that have to be arranged in a set order to form a single ring, which means that the ring cannot be quickly and easily removed or replaced.</p>
<p>For some men the wedding ring is seen as an item of jewelry and wearing a wedding ring is viewed in much the same way as they view wearing a pair of earrings. For many men wearing jewelry is simply something that men do not do and the wedding ring is no exception. Again this is something that is becoming less of a problem over time and, while the wearing of earrings may still be some way off for most men, it is often seen as acceptable for a man to wear a ring, bracelet or a neck chain these days.</p>
<p>In many cases, while a man may not have any particular problem with the idea of wearing a wedding ring, if he has not worn a ring before he may be concerned about whether or not he will feel comfortable with a ring and have questions about whether or not it will feel heavy or will rub. This of course is an easy matter to overcome and all he has to do is buy a cheap ring from his local jewelry store or market and wear if for a while to see.</p>
<p>Of course one genuine problem for many men is their occupation which may exclude them from wearing a ring because of the dangers posed by operating machinery or perhaps for reasons of hygiene. This is course is not something that it confined to the wearing of mens wedding rings and effects women equally.</p>
<p>As time goes by more and more men are adopting the habit of wearing a wedding ring and the signs are that this practice is likely to continue to grow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shaadi is the Indian term for wedding, this is one of the most anticipated occasions in the life of a person and the shaadi cards that are sent out tell a lot about the couple and their families. After all, wedding is an occasion where not only a couple unites, but two families come face to face and begin a new relationship. In today&#8217;s context, making a good shaadi card is not a very difficult thing if you know exactly what kind of card you want and from where you would like to get the card printed. The choice of shaadi card is wide and varied and the couple&#8217;s family just has to ensure that they make a good selection while deciding on the shaadi card. Different categories of shaadi card can be made for sending out invites to different people like friends, family and other social relations.</p>
<p>These days you can find ready made shaadi cards and all you will have to do is choose a format of the card and therein decide what words you will like to use there.  For inviting your friends to this occasion, you may probably want to use some humorous words and for family it can be something formal, it is up to you to decide how you would like to invite them to the occasion.  The wedding invite is addressed to the head of the family from the head of the family of either the bride or the groom, who are sending out the invites. The invitee can bring across as many family members as he wants to enjoy, celebrate and participate in the occasion. A wedding is an occasion that involves the celebration of many events and the couple and their families must decide who they want to invite on which occasion.</p>
<p>Through shaadi cards, couples and their families can send out invites for different pre wedding ceremonies like the Sangeet ceremony, the Haldi ceremony and the Mehendi ceremony. Therefore, chances are likely that you may want to invite your close friends and family only for those ceremonies. What you can do for this is specifically mention in the shaadi card on which event you would like them to be present.  The shaadi card is one of the most important things connected with a wedding and this must be planned out carefully so that the card turns out to be just perfect.</p>
<p>Shaadi card in India has a religious symbol of some kind or the other and just by seeing the card, one can distinguish as to which religion the couple belongs. Generally, for a Hindu wedding card you will find the image of Ganesh in the card and for a Muslim wedding, you will find the card addressing Allah. Today, the options available to couples and their family are many and with the advent of the online sites that specialize in making these cards, things have become easier. One just needs to visit sites that specialize in making shaadi cards and choose one that best suits your requirements. You can consult your family, your would &#8211; be spouse and his or her family before choosing the shaadi card.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many different countries and cultures use wedding rings as a part of their wedding ceremony. This article looks at some of the traditions around the World.</p>
<p>Wedding ceremonies vary from country to country, however, many places use wedding rings as part of the marriage ceremony. Here we will look at some of the wedding traditions from several countries.</p>
<p><strong>The finger on which the wedding ring is worn varies depending on the country&#8217;s traditions</strong></p>
<p>The finger on which the wedding ring is worn varies from country to country, some placing the ring on the right ring finger and others placing the ring on the left ring finger. In some countries the hand on which the ring is worn can change before and after the ceremony. For example in Greece, the couple wear the ring on the left hand until after the wedding ceremony when they are transferred to the right hand. In some European countries, the engagement ring also serves as the wedding ring and it is engraved after the wedding. Some people choose to wear the engagement ring on the right hand ring finger and the wedding ring on the left hand ring finger. This can help to prevent damage to the rings caused by them rubbing together.</p>
<p><strong>The Romans considered the wedding ring to be the last in a series of gifts</strong></p>
<p>The Romans believed in giving a series of gifts to the bride-to-be, and the final gift of the series was the wedding ring. The engagement ring could also be one of the series of gifts.</p>
<p><strong>Some recently-introduced traditions include the trilogy ring, the eternity ring and the pre-engagement ring </strong></p>
<p>The trilogy ring usually consists of three separate diamonds which symbolize the couple&#8217;s past, present and future. The eternity ring symbolizes a long marriage, and the pre-engagement ring is sometimes given when a relationship becomes more serious.</p>
<p><strong>In Britain, the &#8216;Best Man&#8217; is responsible for looking after the wedding rings during the ceremony</strong></p>
<p>The Best Man&#8217;s task during the wedding ceremony is to look after the bride and groom&#8217;s wedding rings until the part of the ceremony where the rings are exchanged. Some weddings will have a ring bearer who carries the rings on a cushion.</p>
<p>It is interesting to see that despite some small differences in how they are worn or exchanged in the wedding ceremony, that many countries use rings as part of the wedding ceremony. We may have more in common with people from other countries than we realise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Free wedding planning will help you save a sufficient amount of money on planning a wedding. Even though numerous companies and private people currently offer their wedding planning services, these services tend to be rather expensive. Furthermore, even if you find an affordable planner, it might make you feel left out or even out of control, if another person manages the planning of your wedding.</p>
<p>How can you plan your wedding on your own? There are two main approaches: free online or downloadable wedding planning software, or a regular spreadsheet application.</p>
<p>1. Free Wedding Planning with the Use of a Spreadsheet</p>
<p>If you have a good command of any spreadsheet application, you can simply turn it into an excellent wedding planner. Spreadsheet application would help you easily calculate the costs, manage the budget, and manage all other aspects of planning a wedding.</p>
<p>Advantages of this method are as follows: no need to research for free wedding planning software, and no need to install that software on your computer in case it&#8217;s downloadable software. Furthermore, this method eliminates any headache that may arise from incompatibility of some applications with some computers (e.g., Mac) or a certain operating system. Furthermore, some tools have a &#8220;not very user-friendly&#8221; interface, and using a spreadsheet would eliminate the need of learning how to use this new program.</p>
<p>The drawbacks are as follows: since you would not be using a specialized tool, you would need to do all the required research on your own, searching for the wedding etiquette information, guides about wedding ceremonies, the order of events, and hundreds of things- to-do needed for a wedding.</p>
<p>2. Free Wedding Planning with the Use of a Wedding Planning Software</p>
<p>Free wedding software is another easy way to plan a wedding on your own and free of charge. There are many online tools that do not even require installation, allowing for their easy use in any browser.</p>
<p>The benefits of using such a tool are that this is a specialized application, which generally comprises all of the aspects of planning a wedding. In fact, this might be beneficial and negative at the same time, since such a tool may provide you with too many features and possibilities, &#8220;making your eyes cross&#8221;. However, more is better than less, and you can rest assure that you will find any possible detail of things needed to be done.</p>
<p>The bottom line: you can easily plan your wedding on your own and at no cost, if you simply choose to use a regular spreadsheet application or free online or downloadable wedding planning software.</p>
