Poetry gets a bad rep. Folks moan about their terrible high school reading assignments in thin-papered books. Sure, there is a lot of poetry that you wouldn’t want at your wedding. From cliché greeting card sentiments to hard to understand, badly translated poetry. But there is some great work out there that you can [...]

Holidays.
Posted in Uncategorized on November 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Holidays tend to be stressful, romantic, nostalgic, dreadful, tiring and relaxing all at once. When you put so many people in one room together, combine it with food and everyone’s picky eating habits, topped with alcohol, you never know what will happen. Or maybe you do because the same thing happens every year. Advice: [...]

It is uncouth to discuss money in the United States. This is inconvenient. If we were more open about money, we’d know how much people paid for things (i.e.: did we pay too much?), how much people make (i.e. why don’t I make a more appropriate salary?) and ideas about how to save better [...]

I distinctly remember being a teenager and watching one of the 90210 characters go to prom in a “Mermaid dress.” (Was it Donna?) She could barely move and missed out on most of the fun, excluding the fun she created by trying to walk. I want to find the perfect wedding dress: it shouldn’t [...]

(Did you ever notice that we all shift uncomfortably in our seats when someone loudly proclaims “I love you?” “Go get a [...]

I received some email responses to my post “To wear white or not?” My favorite was from Courtney, a fellow Smithie alum. She found a gorgeous *pink* dress at Filene’s Basement. Filene’s holds an annual wedding dress sale at select stores (twice in Boston.) Here’s the link: http://www.filenesbasement.com/bridal.jsp A number of people have [...]

My fiancé and I have two extra left feet between us. Still, we are committed to learning how to dance. We’d been talking about taking dance lessons since before we were engaged and thought the wedding was the perfect excuse to get serious about it. Over a year ago, we tried a group salsa [...]
To wear white or not?

I’m not sure that I want to wear white on my wedding day. My mother got married in an orange velure dress with a matching hat. My father wore a yellow tie. My great aunt, who recently turned 100, showed me a swath of fabric from her mother’s wedding dress which was dark brown with [...]
What is a personalized wedding poem?

A personalized wedding poem is a poem written specifically on the occasion of a particular couple’s wedding. The poem can be used in many ways: integrated into the couple’s vows, read during the wedding, framed as a gift, posted on a wedding website or printed in the program, mailed as a part of a thank-you [...]
