What Wealthy People Do

I have always admired wealthy people. While I do not personally know many of them, I am always inspired when I learn about the ways that people that are wealthy acquire and keep their fortunes. Today, I learned some very interesting things about millionaires. While the constant media coverage of Hollywood divorces may cause us to associate being rich and famous with being doomed to marital failure, many wealthy people marry only once. It is uncertain exactly how much of an influence this has had on these couples’ ability to be wealthy, but it can’t hurt – divorce can be … Continue reading →

If I Had To Do My Wedding All Over Again…

Was your wedding absolutely perfect? Or do you ever think, now that you’re older and wiser, that there might be some things you’d do differently if you had it to do all over again? I’d do a couple of things differently. The Date When it came to picking a date, I really didn’t put much thought into it. I know at one point I’d thought maybe May 15 might be a good date, because that was the first day we met. However, we ended up rushing matters thanks to Wayne’s aunt. (Who I adore, make no mistake.)

Getting Married in Hawaii

I got married in Hawaii because it was where I was born and raised so my wedding planning was a bit different than a bride who plans to use the island paradise as the site for a destination wedding. Still, money is a factor no matter when, where or why you are getting hitched in Hawaii, which is why I thought this next travel deal was worth mentioning. It is called the Bliss Wedding Celebration and is being offered by the Lodge at Molokai Ranch. Prince Kapuaiwa, the future King Kamehameha V, founded the historic property more than a century … Continue reading →

If you are planning an autumn wedding, here are some tips to help you out: If your wedding is going to be outdoors, you need to have a good idea of the type of weather to expect – from damp … Continue reading →

Fall is just right around the corner and soon the days will be cooling (please!) and the nights will be even cooler (yay!) and in most areas of the country, the leaves on the trees will begin to change color and the grass will begin yellow and brown (it’s already burnt here) and we’ll be getting ready for a host of Autumnal events including Halloween and Thanksgiving. So in honor of the soon to be changing (can’t change soon enough) seasons, I wanted to share with you some wedding theme ideas. A little planning and creativity can go a long … Continue reading →
