Ikea is wonderful source for anything you might need for your home or outdoor space. It’s also a wonderful source of items you can use for your upcoming wedding…

I was reading an article earlier this morning about this Ukrainian couple who got married in Manitoba around June of this year, shortly after arriving as refugees of the Canadian government..

Let’s be real here, if you want to give something to the bride and groom that will 100% be useful to both of them, the best gift is still a monetary gift…

J.Lo and Ben Affleck hosted a post-wedding barbeque for their friends and family three days after their wedding. Why? Because they afford it, and most of their friends and family can also afford to not work for 3 or more days. Not like us pheasants, we attend a wedding on Saturday, rest on a Sunday or do errands, and be back to work on Monday.

I know, I know. This is such a boring topic. Linen is most often the last thing on a bride’s mind. It’s something most people overlook, but for me it’s very important because it sets the tone of the whole venue..

Do you know someone who has this type of marriage? I guess it depends on the culture, right? Arranged marriages are not really a big part of the Filipino culture, well I guess I can say from the area in the Philippines where I grew up, it’s very rare, but I know for a fact that it happens in the Muslim community still..

You ever been to a wedding with special guests doing special numbers? I’ve seen all sorts of entertainers at wedding receptions. From magicians for adults, hypnotists, belly dancers, singers, to circus performers.

Ok ok ok.. Before you get your panties in a wad, and scream at me about how childish this is, hear me out. I am not talking about a costume party a la Halloween, there are so many ways you an incorporate a theme without going over the top, and putting obvious themed objects everywhere. I am not asking you to copy each character.

Are you always the bridesmaid and never the bride? If you are, then you know by now that being a bridesmaid is not only about helping the bride with her needs, and standing with her at the altar on the day of the wedding, but it is also about spending money, and yes you will be spending some, if not a lot of money, for the wedding. 

Ever since Tiktok became the “Go to” source for wedding inspirations, second to Pinterest of course, it became so hard to think of new things to do for your own wedding. .

Imagine going through a drive thru window saying “ I’d like an order of 1 marriage pls”, and the person on the other end will say “Ok would that be with a priest or an officiant?”

I’ve been to so many wedding rehearsal dinners. and for all of the ones I’ve attended, it’s always the bride and groom who paid for it..

We’ve all seen that, right?  I remember the first time I’ve seen one, it was from Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee. Pamela had Tommy Lee’s name tattooed on her ring finger, which, of course we all know by now after they separated, she had changed to “Mommy”.

We all experienced that, right? Nobody said wedding planning is easy, that’s why sometimes even the sweetest, gentlest, and calmest bride in the world, can turn into a raging bridezilla

Have you seen Teresa Giudice hair when she got married for the second time? Do you know her? If you are an avid fan of the Real Housewives franchise, you ‘d know exactly who she is. Anyway, she got married recently, and her hair was this big, extension filled crowning glory, with a tiara to top it off.

I love watching romantic movies. I especially look for scenes with proposals because I love the sweet gestures, the romanticism behind it, and most especially, the element of surprise. BUT, and it’s a big BUT, I don’t like big, fancy, and over-the-top proposals with flash mobs, and what-not..

I read somewhere that during the pandemic, when there were lockdowns, limits, and restrictions to events, people realized how fun it was to just have a few people around, and not be in a crowded space…

Should you have a signature cocktail? A lot of the weddings I went to have a signature drink named by the couple, it’s something to remember their special event by. It is up to if you want to have one, it’s not a requirement, but more of another cool way to add a personal touch to your wedding..

Have we all been there? I know I have! I think it was a week before the our wedding, I had a big fight with my husband-to-be. I don’t even remember what it was about. All I remember was me throwing a mineral water bottle at him, and him, kicking and denting my car. LOL! Yes, it was that BIG. I’m pretty sure it was just because of all the stress that we’ve had to endure..

We’ll take you back to the 60’s and 70’s for some of these classic wedding songs.
