For a wonderful wedding day to commence for a couple there has to be some organization and precision to the events leading up to and during the ceremony. This includes knowing what the proper wedding etiquette for certain aspects of the big day should be not only for the bride and groom, but also the bridesmaids, groomsmen, and the guests. Failure to follow good etiquette may not necessarily ruin a ceremony, but can certainly hurt feelings and possibly the tradition that was the main goal of decorum for the ceremony.
One key thing to remember, if you are a part of the wedding party, ie. a bridesmaid or groomsman, that the day isn’t about you. It’s about the couple being married. Essentially, you are there to support the bride and groom and do what you can to make things easier on them. Causing a scene, upstaging the couple or stealing their thunder is completely unacceptable and any such behavior should be avoided at all costs.

We all hear it too often. Boy meets girl, both fall in love and decides to get married, down the road someone gets involved with an affair, one party is severely hurt by an affair and pushes for a divorce. Marriage ends and there goes another point to the board that says \”Happy Endings Are Myth\” and along with it paying the high cost of divorce, financially or emotionally.
These days, our society accepts divorce as an unfortunate but accepted reality of married life. While annulments have been around for centuries, divorces are different. Divorce is a way of ending a marriage, without the death of a spouse, while a more traditional annulment declared that a marriage was void from the beginning.
Some married couples mistakenly view divorce as a magic solution to their relationship problems. Yet in most cases this isn’t so and more disturbing is that they often jump to divorce without knowing the high cost of divorce, financially or emotionally.
Another common misunderstanding about divorce is that most people think that divorces will be over in a short period, and they can continue living they’re lives as if nothing happened. We’ll the fact is that the average divorce last for about two years and most of the time costing more financially than first imagined.

The Bouquet
