Women Own Weddings!

This week we re going to cover the subject of weddings from the man s point of view....
That s right, this week we re gonna cover weddings from the man s point of view. And why not? It s June, right? The big wedding month? Well, okay then, let s get down to business. Of all the activities or events that there are out there, one of the most feminine dominated ones are wedding ceremonies. Okay, laugh if you will, make all the comments you want about how weddings are for both the man and woman, and then sit back and answer the following questions to see if I m not hittin it dead on the target...
What gender typically directs the wedding ceremony?
Whose preacher typically conducts the wedding ceremony?
Who is ninety plus percent of the crowd there to see, the about-to-be new husband or the about-to-be new wife?
Who benefits most from the bridal registry?
Which gender most enjoys dressing up for the ceremony, and which gender s feet hurt for days afterwards on account of having to wear black leather shoes with triple thick soles?
Whose wedding clothing is preserved for posterity afterwards, and whose is immediately taken back to the rental place?
(..and here s one to see if y all are still paying attention) What gender typically pays for the whole ceremony?
See what I mean? And it gets even worse for the poor man involved. A guy who has a zillion girlfriends can announce one day that he s found someone to marry, and everyone will laugh and wonder why he s bothering to go through with a wedding at all, sort of the why buy a cow.... type analogy. But, let a woman live with a man for ten years and then announce that she s marrying him and having a big ceremony, well, no one will say ten words about the insanity of it all, in fact, it s usually applauded. Why? But it gets even worse for us males - the man, right after the ceremony, will be whisked away along with his new bride over to the wedding reception. This will typically be a super nice, catered affair, and one that the man has somewhat looked forward to as he has had to starve himself for several hours prior to the ceremony (he can t have noises rumbling out of his stomach for everyone to hear while the vows are being recited, you know). As soon as he gets a little plate of food and readies himself for some much needed nutrition, he ll be hemmed up by some of his new bride s relatives and told to be good to her, or treat her like we always did, and my all-time personal favorite, we ll be keeping an eye on you. What the male discovers over the next few years is that most of the relatives who made these statements are either unemployed, struggling with substance abuse problems, or else follow religions involving the handling of dangerous reptiles. Of course, in all fairness, all families have their share of drunks and losers, but for some reason the new bride s deadbeat ones want to dole out lots of advice to the groom right after the wedding. I guess that s because they realize that the man will soon discover the true scoop, and as a result they ll never be able to give out any advice again, so they have to take full advantage of their one good chance to do so.
Personally, if I were single and getting married tomorrow, I would forgo a traditional wedding and opt for getting married on a cruise ship. And no, not because of all the nice places the ship would take me, but because getting married on a cruise ship means that the honeymoon begins just as soon as you walk back to your cabin. The honeymoon is the highlight of the whole marriage service for the male, and also happens to be the item that he typically has to wait the longest to enjoy, so getting married on a cruise ship eliminates this particular problem.
In conclusion, ladies, please don t get too hacked off at me because of these observations - as much happiness as y all bring into men s lives, the least we men can do is endure the before noted horrors of the marriage ceremony itself. All in all, a couple of hours of torture vs. getting to spend the rest of your life with a lovely woman is well worth it all in the end. Well, well worth it all unless your bride has an old maid aunt with whiskers who wants to give you a big ole kiss when you run up on her in the reception line...

women

What is it with makeup the fact is, if you re female, then you maybe like makeup at some point in your life. It almost seems like the softer sex is drawn to the material. I watched my little girl get sucked into the makeup trends. At the tender age of five, she already wanted to paint her delicate little face with eye shadow and blush. Yikes, what s with kids these days they want to grow up so fast My wife and I were shocked when our little lady came strolling into the living room with full-on makeup, which was applied way too think by the way. You ve got to love the youngsters and their attempt at being grown up. However, let s save the infinite makeup trends for the older girls. At least let them get to sixteen first. Speaking of makeup trends, are you up to speed on the latest?

These days makeup is as prominent as ever. Although a few women out there refuse to conform, millions of others can t live without it. Have you ever seen those hardcore makeup users on the talk shows they actually wear their makeup to bed. Some will not even let their husbands see what they look like without makeup on. That s nuts! Can you imagine never even seeing what your spouse truly looks like? Regardless of the ardent makeup users, there are infinite others who enjoy the glamour of makeup trends. While a heavy layer of foundation and blush used to be all the rage back in the 80s, these days less is more. That good old natural beauty is in full demand. Sure, you can slap on a little makeup, but don t go crazy ladies. It s ideal to hold a more natural look with just a little makeup to accent your features. Caking it on will only get you insulting glares from other women.

When it comes to makeup trends, I have to admit that I like to see what a girl truly looks like. Sure, makeup can look nice if applied in moderation; however, too much may be hiding your natural beauty. It is typically expected for high school level girls to pile on the paint, but once you ve hit your twenties, you may want to adopt some new and more conservative makeup rends. It s time to flaunt that natural beauty that you were born with. If you re not up to speed on the latest makeup trends, the Internet will surely provide you with a vast spectrum of solutions to all your makeup questions.

Will a lucky florist be called upon soon to help Beyonce plan all the flowers that will be used in her ceremony? If so, she ll have a lot of options for using flowers to make her wedding as beautiful as she is.
Flowers aren t just for the bride s bouquet anymore. They re being used in exciting new ways that can help the bride and groom to bring beauty to everything from the hotel rooms being used by guests to the car the newlyweds drive away in. Flowers have become an enormous part of the occasion with attention being paid not just to the flowers, but to their containers, accessories, and settings. A professional florist who is experienced in creating wedding designs can be a bride s best friend when it comes to sorting through all the current wedding flower trends.
Here are some great and easy ideas you and your florist can use to weave flowers into the special day:
* Place flowers in the hotel rooms of special out-of-town guests such as grandparents and other special relatives.
* Send arrangements to individuals who have helped to make the day one to remember, such as the pianist, singer, or even the religious leader performing the ceremony.
* Fill standing urns with lush arrangements to place outside the entrance of the ceremony. These arrangements can later be moved to the reception location.
* Place a single rose on the seats reserved for the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom.
* Use the bridesmaid s bouquets as decorations to place around the wedding cake.
* Create centerpieces containing a separate cluster of flowers for each couple seated at the guest s dinner tables to take home with them.
* Create centerpieces containing large floating blossoms and votive candles.
* Use the bouquet the bride will toss during the reception as the cake s topper.
* Decorate the ribbons streaming from the bride and groom s car with flower petals and blossoms.
* Throw rose petals rather than rice (which is actually harmful to birds) as the happy couple leaves.
