Destination Weddings: Do or Don’t?

Writing about Disney Cruise Weddings/Vow Ceremonies made me think about destination weddings.  Given that I wanted my wedding to be as small and simple as possible, it’s difficult for me to relate to those interested in having a destination wedding. For me, the concept only seems to make sense if the bride or the groom actually hails from the area in which they’re getting married.  Maybe he or she was born abroad, or on the other side of the country.  It’s one thing to ask your guests to spend a lot on travel expenses just because you want to get … Continue reading →

When You Hate Your Handwriting

Hate is such a strong word. Still, there are some scrapbookers who refuse to handwrite journal entries, page titles or photo captions because they despise the look of their chicken scratch. Fortunately for all of you haters out there, free fonts are just a click away. ScrapbookingFonts.com is a saving grace for people who shy away from adding their own handwriting to memory album layouts. The site has a slew of cursive fonts to choose from. You can either print out the fancy writing and add it to a traditional scrapbook or use the fonts directly on the page of … Continue reading →

Spicing Up Your Wedding Scrapbook

Photos may be the core of a wedding scrapbook, but there are many other nuances that help document the magic of your big day. Personally, I think journaling is a huge component of wedding scrapbooks. When done correctly, journaling can transform an ordinary wedding scrapbook into a personal storybook that can be passed down through the generations. When adding journaling blocks to your wedding scrapbook it’s a good idea to add more than a few anecdotes. Rather, consider the questions your future children and grandchildren might ask when flipping through the pages, such as: *Why did you select the people … Continue reading →

New to Food Blog but Years in the Kitchen

I’ve been cooking since I was around seven or eight years old and let me tell you that’s too many years ago to want to count them. I had a mother who encouraged me in the kitchen. Back then I cooked mostly cakes and sweet things but by my early teens, I regularly cooked meals for the family. So I guess by now I ought to have found out a bit about food to pass on. I will be writing 6 food blogs per month. For those who don’t know me, I might be new to the food blog but … Continue reading →

Marriage Blog, I Bid You Farewell

An adventure that began two years ago in Pets, then expanded to Marriage a little over a year ago when I first introduced myself here, has reached journey’s end. Today I’m writing to say farewell. Dale should be rejoining you all very shortly. She’s already back to posting in Christian so I imagine it won’t be long before she makes a reappearance here. You’re also going to get a new face to Marriage, but definitely not to Families.com. Mary Ann Romans is one of Families most prolific bloggers. She’s written in different categories over the years and is currently covering … Continue reading →

Another way that some couples choose to honor their relationship is by renewing their wedding vows. When a couple renews their wedding … Continue reading →

You and Your Ring: ‘Til Death Do You Part?

I’ve been writing a lot about rings lately and it got me to thinking about something some women do: trade up for bigger diamonds. Some do it only a couple of years into marriage, some do it for bigger anniversaries such as 10th or 20th. When Wayne and I went to pick out my ring he knew how much he was willing to spend. He wasn’t buying into the spend-three-months-salary concept for choosing a diamond, much to the saleslady’s chagrin. She kept pushing him to reveal how much he earned, but he wouldn’t tell her. I guess she figured he … Continue reading →

Congratulations! You’re getting married. Have you decided what type of vehicle you will be riding in to and from the church?
