Wedding Planner Guide: Crucial For Your Superb Wedding
The wedding planner guide is a critical item to have to help ease the anxiety that can occur when planning your wedding day. The bride especially envisions her special day to be perfect, but we all know that things can quickly turn bad when out of the ordinary things happen. There are tremendous amounts of details that every wedding shares-no matter how big or small the ceremony and reception are.
I attended a close friend’s wedding reception and watched as the groom came to the gift table and began going through the envelopes. To his dismay, he hadn’t remembered that he had to furnish tips to many of the service people at the reception. He was horrified to say the least, that he had to dip into his gifts which he was going to use for his honeymoon.
Most couples entering into marriage are young and this will be a new experience for the bride and groom. For my friend, it was a shock that the amount of money he paid for the wedding reception didn’t include tips. A wedding planner guide would have given him the tools he needed to know that it is vital to take notes whenever speaking with Vendors and write down exactly what is and isn’t included.
No bride or groom wants to have the unexpected misfortune happen on their wedding day. Photographers or videographers who don’t show up on time, or worse, don’t show up at all.
That’s why it is so important to stay organized when you are planning one of the most important days of your life. Imagine the heartache of not having pictures to look back on your wedding day.
A timeline of what you will need to do is critical in your wedding planning. The further away your date is the better off you will be. A year off is a good place to start your planning. However, if you don’t have that much time you might think about contacting a wedding planner or wedding consultant to help out.
The wedding business is a huge profit making industry, but that doesn’t mean you have to cash in the farm to pay for them. If you pick your wedding date that is at least one year in the future, you can start saving money on your current bills and give up those expensive dates at restaurants.
There is power in numbers. Brides who network can often negotiate a better deal with vendors. To help keep you on your time line you should always stick to your wedding planner guide.

Young couples who plan to marry should spend some quality time when it comes to choosing their wedding rings, or the designer who they will select to design a wedding ring for them. This is something a couple will do alone as it should be a special time. Quality jewelers are not always easy to find and those that specialize in wedding rings are even harder. Many people, however, make the mistake of going to a jewelry store in a mall.
If you are lucky you might find enough variety but these stores often only carry a small selection of rings. It is in your best interest to find a jeweler that specializes so you will have enough styles and materials to choose from. Of course it should go without saying that the wedding ring you choose must complement the engagement ring that your partner is wearing.
Do not allow yourself to be swayed by a wedding ring that will, as soon as it is worn, spoil the look of the engagement ring; some rings have been made to complement each other and these should be the type you seek. Try on different wedding bands and sit them next to the engagement ring to see how they look together.
The most commonly sought after metals for rings are White Gold, Platinum, Titanium, Yellow Gold and Rose Gold, although increasing numbers of couples are choosing the longer lasting platinum over the white gold or titanium options. Obviously, if you’re after a yellor or rose colored ring, you’ll opt for yellow gold or rose gold, though.
To ensure both wedding rings fit on the wedding day, it will be necessary to have both of them re-sized correctly. This means you will need to have them professionally adjusted and not rely on a guess. You want to be sure the ring will fit correctly; this will prevent it from being too tight or too loose and slipping off.
If you want to make sure your rings are ready in good time for the wedding, give your jeweler plenty of time to complete any adjustments. He may have a number to complete and you do not want a problem on the wedding day. Choosing wedding bands you will both like and that match the engagement ring may take some time; allow for this as it is not uncommon for couples to choose in haste and then regret their decision later.
There isn’t a stronger symbol of two people’s love than the wedding ring. Perhaps this is why they are used in so many cultures around the world.

If you suspect your husband of cheating, make sure you give him plenty of rope to hang himself with. By that I mean let him make the mistakes - so don’t accuse him until you have concrete proof that will stand up in court, if it comes to it. Infidelity is on the rise, so here are some of the top ways available to catch your cheating husband.
1. 90% of cheaters will do so in our own bed at some time during your relationship. If you suspect your husband has been cheating on you in your own home, try making your bed in a particular way, check it every day, if you’re husband has been using it with somebody else, you will know as he will have made differently.
2. Set a trap. Use one of your friends that he doesn’t know to help you with this. Get your friend to check on him at a bar or a party and record the conversation. One easy way to do this is to have her call either your or her answering service just before she talks to him, this way you can have concrete proof of his infidelity.
3. Your husband will definitely take advantage if he is left alone for a weekend. So to set another trap tell him that you will be away all weekend, give him precise times for when you are leaving and when you will be back. Then say goodbye and find a good spot where you’ll be able to watch your house, all you have to do now is wait and see.
4. It is important that you keep an eye on all your husband’s financial transactions. This includes ATM withdrawals, receipts, and credit card statements, keep an eye out for any unusual transactions. You may be lucky and find some obvious evidence such as motel room receipts, or a jeweller’s receipts, although you have not had any new jewellery recently. Your husband may be cleverer than this, and could be using cash to buy gifts or pay for things for his new lover. He may give himself away though if he is withdrawing the same sum of money at the same time every week or month, which he will be using to pay for a motel room.
5. Check all phone records, both the home phone, and his cellphone. Make a note of any unusual for members, numbers that are repeatedly use, or a number is that are called at strange times of the day. Also keep a close eye on how your husband uses his cellphone, does he always move out of earshot before answering it?
If, after all this you still do not have sufficient evidence to confront your husband, you can try bluffing him. Say something along the lines of, I know what you’ve been doing and I’ll give you one last chance to confess and tell me everything. You may find that he will break down and give you all the information you want, but he will more than likely lie to the end.
I can assure you that your husband will screw up sooner or later you will need to be patient, but remain watchful. An easy way to do this is to hire a PI, however this can be expensive and may not be necessary. My advice is that you follow the above steps, keep a watchful eye for any of these signs, and keep notes of any evidence.
