You May Now Kiss the Bride

This will be an everlasting love

This will be the one I've waited for

This will be the first time anyone has loved me

Here comes the bride, all dressed in white. June is the big wedding month. If she is the bride, this will be one of the busiest, most stressful, and happiest times of her life. If she is a wedding planner, her organizational skills and patience are put to the ultimate test. Mothers of the bride or groom also join in with their own amount of baggage. This makes being a guest the best role to have. Purchasing the perfect gift and planning what to wear does not compare to the bride's list of things to do. Weddings bring out so many different emotions for all in attendance: love, regret, and fear. She who is single must be careful in selecting the right date when attending a wedding; she does not want to go with a man she loves, but who has no intention of meeting her at the end of the aisle someday. One of the biggest issues regarding wedding guests is how many are allowed on the invite and if the kids are invited. Many a family feud has started due to the lack of invitation for someone's child. This is a delicate matter and usually a financial is sue as well. It's best to remember that it is the bride's day and to be grateful for the invitation no matter who is or who is not included. Some moms are working a whole new schedule with the kids home from school; some are cherishing the final days of the set schedule. When school is out, a whole new schedule begins. She'll jump into that pool soon. Until then, could you place your finger on the ribbon? She has a gift to wrap.
