Uncorked 

Hi there, Readers;



I don't often come across something trending that is worth blogging about, okay that's know true, I just happen to love the thought of this. Who wouldn't? I love reading the latest Nd hearing from readers About the latest industry trend. Bubbles for everyone. Say what?

I know there is yellow, pink, light yellow some with ice cream some without. Imagine the potential of the Uncorked. Champagne bars that serve the bubble in unique ways.



What happens when you mix champagne. The one beverage most of the world only serves on special occasions. Add sweetness? Mix it up and sever with the unusual?



You come up with something unique that people want to try.

Father of the Groom
Hi there, Reader;

 I would like to share with you the one thing I have come across in Wedding planning. There is not much written about the role of the Father of the groom. Maybe your just a wallet, Apple pay, Android pay, or a pay pal. All kidding aside there are some specific things the father of the groom is responsible for. The edittiquette says: it's 2017 and you get to bend the etiquette. Here are a few items you can do to help your family get through the planning process. 

 1. Your young man is he marring a DYI brides? What is DYI, you ask? That's the first thing you can do. Look up words that will help your groom succeed. Like any new and changing world, it comes with a vocabulary all its own. Google #Wedding terms #Wedding words and if my words lead you astray, then look up your own words.

 2. Figure out the budget you want to spend. Here is the lucky part other than the rehearsal dinner, your wife's dress and accessories, your tux and accessories, your other children's clothing and accessories you don't have to spend any money. It's a want to.

 3. Divorced? This is a have to for the sake of both families. Put on, get along, put old things away and be kind, speak kindly, and accept that your ex-wife the mother of your child who gave birth to him and it is documented on government records, wants to be invovled in the wedding. It's not a good time to get revenge or air dirty laundry, trash talk or cause pain. The truth is divorce caused a whole lot of pain, so did the reasons leading up to get, let it go.

 4. Once you figured out the budget ask your young man how, what, when, we're, why he needs assistance. If the brides father is not living, ask if she needs you to step in as the father of the bride, this offer must be sincere with no other agenda that family harmony. Your goal has to be to help your young man through the wedding process. (I can speak for my own experience, my father in law, became like a dad during the wedding process. I knew he had his sons best interest in mind. His gentleness and love allowed me to talk with him first in understanding his son whenever we had marital issues. The first few years of marriage can be tuff ones. He was like my own dad who had passed on, however he had instructed me on what a good man is, and how a woman should be treated.

 5. He doesn't need your money, they offer them a wedding present of a down payment on their first house. Already own a house? Vacation home or a long term savings account, trust account for the grandkids. Any of those offers is saying I support your decision to get married. I am here if you need me. No worries, I made a very good child. Men don't usually say I love you to their sons, therefore actions speak louder than words.

 6. Your young man will be under lots of pressure by many different people, if he doesn't want to talk to you, then don't force him. It cause greater hurt feelings. Weddings are a time to heal this, drama people complicated lives, if your a drama person then let it be known and your future family will choose if they want to be a part of your family or not. It's an individual choice.

Help She Wants Me To Do Wedding Things!  ( For DYI Brides and their Grooms)

 Hi there,

I was thinking about all the conversations I have had with sons and the one thing I found he had in common with the people I was planning weddings for was the thought of having to do wedding things when his girl asked him. Was the thought of having to do wedding things. He didn't enjoy arts and crafts, he did as a child as an adult the fun of it just faded away. He had other interest. This blog started because of all the conversations we had.

The truth is as a wedding planner it's difficult not to get caught up in all the excitement a bride feels planning a wedding. She is usually so happy because it is her dream come true. It's a little different for males, although the wedding industry has tried to make it exciting for them too. The reality is I don't think me think about getting married until they have certain things in place. That might be different for different young men.  The ones I have talk with have expressed a need to have proven themselves to themselves, so they can prove themselves worthy to the brides family. 

Truth:

1. You don't ave to work on the craft projects involve. Have your bride make a list of all the things she wants you involved in and then express to her that you don't feel comfortable doing all of them. Negotiate what you will do. You might not be good at craft proects, however maybe your good at researching the best price for items.

2. Are you good with budgets. Maybe, you can make all the spread sheets that will track the spending. There is also the negotiation of contracts. Is she better at organization than you are? Have her keep track of all the contracts, schedules and people. I want to assure you as it gets close to the wedding it will take both of you doing this, if you don't have a wedding planner.

3. The girl your about to marry will change personality and not treat you like she did to make you fall in love with her. You will have moments in the planning process that will test your love for one another. 

4. The woman/bride you are about to marry will  at times yell at you, start crying and then start laughing at how stupid it is. She will have anxiety about changing her life as well and this is normal. Just like some men, start visiting their family more or hanging out with friends. Just like you need support so will your bride.

5.  The wedding party gets upset if you ask to much of them or too little. It is a difficult balance. First although they love you as a person, you are now asking them to spend money on something they may or may not want to do. They may not be able to afford, however they will find a way to make it happen, because you are their friend.  Unfortunately this imposition does cause friendships to break if the friendship part of the relationship is not upheld and the demands and demands rather than request. If they can't afford it and they are your best friend, they you might want to pay for them to be in your wedding. The truth is this doesn't always work out. It can create a covet situation and then it will end the friendship, because they didn't really want to be in the wedding in the first place. Just accept the No graciously and tell them you would never impose something upon them if you didn't have to. Then let it go. 

6. Men are expected to behave a certain way. This may or may not be the normal way you behave and you can go back to being yourself after the wedding. However, the truth is because the experience is so big in your life. What you were is not what you will become. What you become depends on how you handle each life changing situation.

7. You will at some time want to walk away from everything. This a normal feeling and it doesn't mean it has to happen.

8. This one is my favorite, when you feel that way there is a book I recommend. It is to help you write your wedding vow of speech for the reception. It is a book about romance, love and emotions people feel. The wedding planning process is a constant testing. It is not a personal thing although it feels that way. It is personal for the bride and groom. I was always the wedding planner, maybe I have a different perspective. The process test faith, love, endurance, intelligence, ability, romance, relationships. It test time management, understanding, self-controll, self-indulgence, greed, money management and the ability of a man to be a man in any situation given. Reading this book might help you have a perspective that you are not allow and many a man has traveled before you trying to conquest the same feelings emotions that you are feeling during this process. 
The book title is The Essentials Tales and  Poems of Edgar Allan Poe at your local library. However, if you are an online shopper. The Essentials Tales and  Poems of Edgar

Congratulations to the Groom! Best Wishes to the Bride! You'll be alright and get through it. Just relax and enjoy the process.



Statistics

 Hi there,

Imagine you have been dating a while, most likely having sex with her, maybe sleeping with her the whole night. You both have your separate places and you know she wants you to do the marriage thing. What the heck happened? What changed in her that she no longer is content with the arrangements. Will leaving together be the same as marriage? Is getting a dog the same as having a child? It is like putting a bandaid on the question. We have been together now for _____ amount of time. What are your intentions towards me, cause I am not the type of woman that want to waste anymore of my time, if I don't have a future with you.

Statistically speaking no.
