LOVE IS IN THE AIR.....ENGAGEMENTS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

THE Christmas  Holiday Season is the most popular time of the year for Couples to formally announce their Engagement.  With families getting together, this appears to be the most appropriate time to "pop the question..."will you marry me?"    Whether he gets down on his knees with the little box with the surprise you have been  dreaming about..or he may be  asking your Father's consent for your hand in marriage, it's the most exiting time of your life for the both of you and your families to share!  Christmas to Valentine's Day is the time when most couples become engaged.  Whether or not you have been looking at engagement rings, here are few tips:

Bear in mind there is a budget for your ring.  Shop around to local jewelry stores you can trust. Be sure you have a written appraisal of your rings accompany your purchase. Don't insist your fiance' makes a purchase on an Engagement  that is out of your budget.  Keep your budget in mind and stick to it. 

If you are "surprised" with an Engagement ring and did not get to pick it out, please accept it graciously!  The world isn't going to end.  There will be Anniversaries and milestones to share later where you will either be able to afford your dream wedding set and it will be meaningful.

Congratulations to all the Brides getting engaged...and Happy Holidays!!!!!

BRIDAL TRADITIONS- WHO WILL GIVE AWAY THE BRIDE?

In planning your wedding, one of the most important decisions to make,  is who will give you away or walk you down the Aisle on your Wedding Day..

Traditionally, it has always been the honour and duty of the Father of the Bride to walk his daughter down the Aisle and give her to her husband.  Symbolically, this is giving his blessing and consent to the marriage, and is an emotional experience for the Father, as his "little girl" is now a "grown woman"  going into another transition in her life.  I cannot think of a better showing of love!

Unfortunately, in today's World, with divorced parents, and other issues, this may not be possible.
 If your Father is not present in your life or deceased, here are some tips on who can be proper choices:

1.  If raised a Catholic, or have a Godparent you still maintain a close relationship, Male or Female.

2. If your Father is deceased and has Brothers, ask the Oldest of the brothers to give you away..if  he cannot for some reason, and there are other Brothers, or Aunts, ask them.

3.  If your Father has been completely out of the picture while you were growing up and your Mother has re-married, your Step-father would be appropriate.  You can have both your Mother and Step-Father.

The list can go on.  I would search within my family first with your parents as first priority, always.  It's a joy to walk your grown child down the Aisle no matter how old you are and the parent!

I would be interested in sharing on who walked you down the Aisle on your Wedding Day. Feel free to leave your posts...!  Enjoy your day!
