1) A Different Celebrity Wedding Photo from Past or Present! Our Celebrity photos this issue feature famous couples who did things their own way. They are Matthew Broderick with Sarah Jessica Parker who just invited their guests to a "party" and were married in black, and Scott Hamilton with new bride Tracie Robinson dressed in a skating inspired dress with shoes that looked like skates that Scott found only the night before .
2) A Wedding Tradition Explained! "Why is the Bride usually on the Left and the Groom on the Right?" It is amazing how many traditions come down to us from the tradition of "marriage by capture". The idea is that the Groom must have his right hand free during the ceremony to fight off the bride's family and or other suitors. Presumably he would be holding her hand with his left as they continued on with the service in spite of these distractions. No mention is made of left handed gentlemen. This is why the Bride stands on the left, and the Groom on the right. We recently tied those knots and have tips, tricks and trials to share: Stand Up For What You Want... Kim's Tip: Planning your wedding can be difficult. Your friends, family and vendors will all have an idea of how you should do things. In some cases these people will keep you from going off the deep end. At other times they will try to substitute their idea of a perfect wedding for your own. You will have to compromise in some areas, but not all. Think about those things that are truly important to you and do not let others dictate the shape of your wedding. I was amazed that the owner of my wedding site thought she could dictate how my bridesmaids were going to come down the hill to enter the Rose garden site for my wedding. I am a dancer. All my bridesmaids were dancers and I had choreographed how I wanted to have them enter. She informed me that things weren't done this way and told me how it would happen. When faced with this kind of vendor do not worry about being perceived of as "nice". Nice will get you their perfect wedding, not yours. I told her it was my wedding and that nothing in our contract said anything about her having control over my ceremony and she relented. Okay, she thought I was Bridezilla, but how many times do I have to rent that site? By the way, everyone was knocked out by the bridesmaids entrance! 4)

Be open to new places to dance. Opportunities to dance will present
themselves. When they do -- Stand Up and Dance!! One should try to seize
these moments to add spice to life. You will spend a lot of time waiting
for things. You can just stand there or you can do something with it!
If there is room and there is music, there can be dancing! If you like
a particular type of music, go to see the bands play. Most musicians
like, and in many cases are inspired by, having people dance to their
music. Ironically, some of the easiest and most convenient places to
practice are in parking lots at the end of a well attended event. Examples:
Wolf Trap, Kennedy Center, Nissan Pavilion. Take a couple of CDs and
go to a concert, play, or band you and your fiance will both enjoy.
After the event is over, instead of getting in your car and madly joining
the traffic jam, put on your music and dance together for a half hour.
The traffic will have eased and You will have had fun. Dancers do this
all the time. All comments made to us while dancing in public have always
been positive. Dancing is a lifelong skill which can turn a mundane
or even aggravating situation into a magical moment! .
