      <description><![CDATA[Traditional Wedding Guest Books are often perused after the honeymoon, then placed lovingly on a shelf in the coupleâ€™s home and left to collect dust until their golden anniversary.  I know that this is the case with mine, at least.  I often wish that we had come up with a more original way to commemorate the presence of all of our friends and loved ones on our wedding day.  Perhaps if we had, we would have looked at it more than one time since then.  I have collected a few ideas that fall into the â€œCoulda, Woulda,...]]></description>

Keeping it a secret from her, planning the â€˜scavenger huntâ€™ game, making cute t&ndash;shirts with â€˜bridal partyâ€™ rhinestone iron&ndash;ons, and coming up with the mula to pay &ndash; not only for each of ourselves,  but to chip in for the Brideâ€™s way and stay at the beautiful Bellagio hotel was how it all went down.

Long&minus;term committed relationships are as common for gay and lesbian couples as they are for heterosexual couples.  Over the years, I've performed a number of commitment ceremonies for same&minus;sex couples.  With the legalization of same&minus;sex marriages in California, this is a new era for homosexual couples.  After a long wait, they finally have the chance to plan their wedding.  What an exciting time!...]]></description>

Amongst the extravagantly wrapped packages of ivory and white are the equally as thoughtful card and monetary wedding presents in the presentation of a greeting card.  Without a doubt, these too are just as valuable to you as the roasting rack you registered for through Wishpot.  But how can you make sure that guests donâ€™t just leave them on the gift table to be covered up by a larger gift.  Or that they donâ€™t get stuffed into another gift bag; later to be thrown away?

      <description><![CDATA[Whether or not to invite children to your wedding can be a dilemma of unforeseen magnitude.  Everyone, it seems, has an opinion and is not afraid to voice it.  Loudly. Including kids in your celebration can provide relief for their parents, who would otherwise have to deal with childcare (this is especially difficult if traveling for the event).  However, as a parent myself, I can say that sometimes I secretly like not having the option to bring my kids to an event.  It forces me to enjoy some adults-only time, rather than spend the evening constantly reminding...]]></description>

After several glorious sunny, hot days the forecast called for the return of the fog that cools San Francisco and the cities around the Bay.  I left my house in the East Bay, dressed in my summer officiant attire (a sleeveless silky dress) and headed across the bridge to Golden Gate Park.  There I am, sitting in freeway traffic wondering if I'll make it on time.  I gaze across the Bay and see an enormous fog bank rolling in...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[What is a Monogram?
A monogram is simply the combination of 2 or more letters to create a unique and personalized logo.  During the 1920â€™s and 1930â€™s, the monogram was commonly used to define a familyâ€™s status among society.  A family who had a monogram of their own, meant they had items to monogram; like silver, or linens or jewelry.

As any bride or grooms knows, marriage isnâ€™t just about a union between two people.  Itâ€™s also a union between two families.  And even under the best of circumstances, there can be some difficulties with the merger.  For example: the mother of groom thinks that the wedding should be held at her house by the lake and the mother of the bride thinks thatâ€™s maybe the stupidest idea sheâ€™s ever heard.
