Wedding Insurance, Anyone?

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

A lot of people may not be that familiar on what a wedding insurance is. A wedding insurance is an insurance policy that covers your wedding and financially protects you agains mishaps and misfortune. Since weddings are becoming more and more expensive, it becomes relatively important for people preparing for a wedding to have a wedding insurance. However, if you opted for a less expensive wedding, you might decide to forgo the insurance.

These types of insurance for wedding cover the following:

  • Illness or injury. If you and your partner, or any essential person got sick or injured, causing the postponement of the wedding, the expenses involved with the postponement are covered.
  • Weather. If your wedding got rescheduled because of a bad weather or rain, the policy should cover the cost of rescheduling.
  • Missing Officiant. In case your priest, minister, justice of peace, rabbie or other celebrant did not show up on your wedding, you will be able to get some of your costs.
  • Missing Vendors. If your caterer, florist, photographer, or other vendors did not show up on your wedding, you will recover some costs. In some cases, you can possibly recover the cost of rescheduling the whole event.
  • Location. Your wedding insurance policy can cover the damages to the site, fire, electrical or mechanical problems, or going out of buisness that causes you to lose money or have to reschedule - that is if your ceremony or reception sites don’t already carry their own insurance.

However, your insurance policy does not cover cancellation due to cold feet - for this you might need another type of insurance for your broken heart.

Men’s Wedding Ring

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

Wedding rings symbolize that you already belong to someone. Well, your fiance’ may still be thinking if he will wear a wedding ring or not. Before that World War II, men do not normally wear a wedding ring. Men started wearing their wedding ring during the war to symbolize that they have left their wives at home.

Wearing your wedding ring can make your wife feel that you will not commit the crime of infidelity when you are not together. It makes women feel that you are proud of being her husband and that you are proud for being a married man. It also serves as a reminder that you have a loving wife waiting for you to come home during moments of temptation.

The thing about the ring being only for girls, is already a thing of the past. There are wedding rings that are designed for men. Men would normally choose the traditional wedding rings or just simple wide bands that are not girly at all.

Buying a Wedding Ring

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

The wedding ring is the symbol of the union of two people who are inlove and vowed to love each other for the rest of their lives. What could be a better symbol of eternal love than a diamond wedding ring? The circular shape of the ring symbolizes eternity and the diamond symbolizes a love that will last a lifetime.

You will wear the wedding ring for the rest of your lives that is why it is best to allot some amount for your ring. In buying these lasting symbol of your marriage, you have to consider the following:

Material
The ring can be made of gold, silver, platinum, and even wood. In deciding which material to choose, consider the type of metal each of you wear more often. If you wear gold, then it will be best to buy a gold wedding ring to match.

The most common metal used for the wedding ring is the yellow gold, being the symbol of the warmth and love of a marriage. You can choose a 14k, 18k, or 24k ring, just keep in mind that the 24k is pure gold and also the softest. Buying a 24k wedding ring is not ideal for those couples who work with their hands. You can also choose to have white gold or platinum. Both coordinates with silver and platinum jewelry, yet, of course, platinum is more expensive. Platinum is the hardest metal and symbolyzes enduring love.

You can choose a stylish wedding ring that has a channel-set diamonds or one with a beaded edge, engraved or just a traditional plain gold band. You can also have it custom-made to be more unique and to reflect your own sense of style.

Remembering Through Favors

Monday, July 16th, 2007

When attending a wedding, there are a few things that I look forward to. I make it a point to see the bride walking towards the altar. For me, it is such a magical moment as she walk towards her husband so they can spend their lives together. Aside from that, of course, the food is something that makes me feel excited. They usually serve really good food and desserts during weddings - of course, I love the wedding cake. Then, the final thing - the wedding or bridal favor.

I have quite a number of wedding favors, party favors, bridal shower favors, birthday party favors and a lot of others that I have collected over the years. Each reminding me of the friend who got married, a really outrageous birthday party, a naughty bridal shower, and other events in my past. It felt rather reminiscent as I look at those from time to time, remembering those days and hoping for more memorable events to happen.

You only get to wear a Wedding Gown once in your life - during that one in a life time event you call wedding. This is why women try to make it really special. With a really large numbers who are in this industry, a lot of experimentation and changes in the style and design are available for you to choose from. Yet, one thing remain the same: the gown’s purpose is to make the bride more beautiful.

Some brides already have an idea on the kind of gown that they want. However, if you are one of those who are just clueless, the first step could be looking at magazines, the internet or visit wedding exhibits to get an idea. This will also help you establishing your budget, just don’t forget that the entire attire will include shoes, jewelry, and a headpiece.

Another thing to consider when choosing your wedding gown is the theme of your wedding, the time of day, location, and level of formality of the ceremony and reception.

Involve your mother, your groom, maid of honor or anyone else in choosing the style. If you are buying from a designer, ask him/her for the design that will look good on you. Keep a log book or compile the brochures you get from the suppliers that you visited. In this way, you can keep track of the choices you have then make the best decision.

Your Wedding Budget

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Your wedding budget determines the type of wedding that you will have. Although, spending less does not necessarily mean that you will have a lousy wedding, spending more also does not guarantee that you will have a grand one.

In determining your budget, you have to realize that your wedding is not the end but the beginning of your life together as a couple. It is just the beginning. That is why it would be very important to keep your life after the wedding in mind in establishing your budget. Make sure that you still have enough money to, let’s say buy a house or rent an apartment, buy some furnitures, and perhaps, spend on your honeymoon.

Dream Wedding

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

Everybody dreams of a great wedding. Who will not when it is the beginning of your life together. Though the amount you spend on your wedding is not really an indicator of the kind of life you will have once you are married. Some couples spend lots of money just to have that dream wedding, yet end up being separated. Some spend less, yet they stayed together for a very very long time. Like in most things, having a dream wedding on a budget is only a matter of planning. In general, weddings should be planned a year before the wedding day. Then, you can start your meeting with the suppliers, vendors, and perhaps, your coordinator. You also have to learn how to bargain. Normally, suppliers charge a bit higher so that they have some allowance for bargaining. Start asking for a 50% discount, then you can meet halfway. The legal and church requirements are also time consuming. So, if you plan to marry in 2008, better start now.

Wedding Ring

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

Ever wondered why the wedding ring is worn on the fourth of the left hand? This belief started way way back in Egypt where it was believed that the vena amoris or vein of love ran from this finger directly to the heart. With the diamond as the symbol of eternity, there is no better way of connecting love with eternity than having a diamond wedding band worn on the fourth finger of the left hand.

When people marry, they made a vow to spend eternity with each other. Thus, to symbolize this vow the couples give each other a wedding ring during the wedding ceremony.
