If you have experience with project planning in a professional
sense at your employment then you should treat the planning of
your wedding no different. Wedding Planning is a must for small or big weddings
- perhaps it’s more critical to plan out your wedding for the
large weddings for everything to run smoothly on the day.

A Big or Small Wedding? First of all, you should have a
general number of guests you would like to invite. This will
determine everything else you do in your wedding planning. Do
you want a small cozy wedding or a large wedding gathering? Is
it what you want or what your parents or in-laws want? Is it
within your budget? Once you answer these questions your wedding
planning has now been kick started.

Assign Tasks In a project situation, it is important to
delegate tasks and so in your wedding planning you need to
determine who will be responsible for certain aspects of your
wedding. For example you may want to designate responsibility of
handling of catering for yourself while delegating the
responsibility of the wedding music or entertainment to your
partner.

Wedding Budget A commercial project always has a profit
and loss statement and a budget. A wedding plan profits when you
succeed and you lose when everything falls apart - you don’t
want the latter to happen. One of the more important aspects of
wedding planning is your wedding budget. You should have a
general number in your head of how much you want to spend on
your wedding and from that starting number you can allocate
money to the ’sub-projects’ of your wedding such as the
catering, the reception hall, etc. Watch carefully how you spend
your wedding budget and always keep a look out for ways to save money on
weddings.

Wedding Research Keep note of what works and what doesn’t
when you attend other weddings, talk to the caterers and the
musicians or the DJ if you like their service. Talk to the
wedding couple or other recently wedded couples to ask them what
worked in their wedding and what didn’t and what other advice
they could offer. A part of your research would take you to
wedding expos and shows around the country in your city or local
area. At the wedding show you can take into account the latest
trends and products that are popular in the wedding industry.
You will be able to talk to reception services, caterers and
bakers for your wedding cake. You will able to see their
showcase of wedding dresses and possibly catch a catwalk display
of the dresses. Remember your purpose at these shows - that you
are there as research for your wedding plan and not be tempted
by the other extras that aren’t really a part of what you want
for a wedding. Your purpose is to get an idea of how much
everything you want at your wedding would cost as well as your
options in the variety of wedding areas.

Wedding Ceremony and Reception Location

Finally, a major element to your wedding project plan is to
arrange the ceremony and the locations of the ceremony and
reception. If you are religious it would probably be assumed
that you would be wedded in a church or other religious
building. If aren’t religious and are looking for a civil
celebrant you will also need to plan around that. Planning your
reception location would probably take into consideration the
research you have done previously. Shop around for prices; ask
around for testimonials of good service to find the perfect
location to suit what you want and your budget.

Good luck in your wedding planning!

Gone are the days when girl met boy along with his parents, over a cup of tea and biscuits. Gone too are the days when a cousin’s marriage was fertile ground for match making. Or asking a well meaning relative or friend to look for prospective matches for your son or daughter.

In the cyber era, a conventional advertisement in the matrimonial classifieds section of a newspaper is no longer enough to find your dream mate. Instead, if you want to hear wedding bells ring, replace cupid’s arrow with your cursor and voila! You have a match made in cyberspace.

The Net is no longer regarded with suspicion as a meeting and dating avenue, but is more serious, committed and thousands of people are tying the knot thanks to the new matchmakers in town- matrimonial portals.

And it is not just busy professionals who are e-mailing or chatting with prospective spouses on the net, but parents are also putting up the profiles of eligible sons and daughters on these portals. So what makes online matrimony “click” better than conventional avenues of finding your match? Well, here are a few:

*The key advantage in these matrimonial websites is that they can be accessed 24×7 that too from any corner of the world. Unlike a newspaper classified, your advertisement does not get restricted to a specific region. So, you can contact any person from Chandigarh to Canada.

* This is the medium of immediate results. You can create your profile, talk at length about yourself, your family and hobbies (each profile gets an entire page) create your photo album and start receiving proposals instantly.

* Ease of communication is another reason, why the net is an ideal medium for matrimony. Unlike the print medium, you do not have to wait interminably for proposals to come in, but at a nominal fee, can contact prospective matches via e-mail and chat. And the response time is also faster than waiting for the postman to ring your doorbell.

*You can streamline your search according to your own preferences, contact the person you like, accept or decline their proposals on your own terms. And if you are shy to contact anyone, then don’t worry people who like your profile will certainly send you proposals.

*You can control your privacy level by filtering out the people whom you don’t want to contact and even from whom you don’t want to receive contacts. Also you can contact or chat with a person without disclosing your details.

Last but not the least, the net is the perfect medium for people who shy away from an “arranged marriage” but have yet not found the love of their lives. The net helps them to get to know their prospective spouses better even before the conventional meeting is “arranged” over tea!

All this cannot be availed through an offline medium i.e. through a newspaper classified or a marriage bureau where the reach of the medium is limited and one has to pay even before understanding the pros and cons of that medium. The advertisement will be of a few column centimeters and may not even catch anybody’s attention. You would also need to do some paper work in order to maintain a list of the people contacted.

Hence, we can surely say that online matrimony is the easiest route to the most difficult destination- “the happily ever after” of marriage.

A new retailer asked over one hundred and thirty UK chicks in January what their favourite marital aid was along with other personal questions. It was that the most favourite marital aid for UK chicks was the vibrator, and they just loved it! UK chicks were so excited by the idea of a giant vibrator that many of them would use it straight after coming home from work. The best types of vibrator were the rabbit vibrators as they help to stimulate the clit as well as inserting into the flower. The other discovery the new sex toy site found out was that the sex toy users just loved using their marital aid on a daily basis by themselves. If the UK chicks were in a good relationship they would use it with their loving wives. The 2nd most popular marital aid was the exciting dildo dong. Dongs are similar to vibrators except they do not have batteries or vibrate. Dongs come in all shapes and sizes from 4 inches to 12 inches. They can come with suction cups to have a brill experience hands free and can easily attach to a bath or toilet set. Dongs have been a firm fav since the 1980’s and looks like they will be around for a long time. If you really like sexy toysyou should try it with your favourite Realistic Dildos A new retailer found the best way to pleasure a women is to buy them both a vibrator and a dildo.

Ask the Marriage Maven: Seven Marriage Spice Ups

Q. My marriage is getting pretty dull. My husband and I are going through a low point where everything seems to be pretty boring. What are some things that we can do to spice up our marriage?

D.M.

A. First of all know that every marriage goes through it’s high and low points. You guys are just in a natural part of the cycle. With that said, here are a few suggestions to make your marriage a little more interesting.

1) Stop complaining about the state of your union. Create an action plan for change and write it down. It’s okay if you’re the only one willing to spice things up at first. In time you’ll find that your spouse will be receptive to the changes you’ve made, especially if you don’t point out your changes or nag your spouse about changing.

2) I can’t say it enough, turn off the T.V. at least 30-45 minutes a day and spend time with each other. No distractions.

3) Date each other as if you weren’t married. Dress up, wear make up, cologne/perfume. Recreate your early years. Meet each other on site and pretend as though you’re meeting for the first timeor have your partner pick you up from work or home. The whole idea is to go all out.

4) Do nice things for each other. Completing chores around the house that your spouse hates doing is a great place to start.

5) Make a point to have a “second” honeymoon at least once a year. Any time from three days to two weeks is good. Even if you can’t get away, you can make a paradise at home. Make work take a back seat, and get someone to watch the kids (and even your pets). The point is to spend your focus on each other for a few days.

6) Live each day as though it were your last. Make sure you say the things you want to say to your spouse today and do the things you want to do for your spouse today. Don’t hold back a good word or a good deed when you know it can do a wonder for your relationship.

7) Take care of yourself. This tip is probably the most important. Make sure that your spiritual, emotional, psychological and physical batteries are charged. If you need to spend some time doing a hobby, visiting with some friends, or pampering yourself, do it! So long as your “me” time is in moderation, you’ll feel a lot healthier, and your relationship will reflect it.
