Butterfly Kiss - With your faces less than a breath away, open and close your eyelids against your partners. If done correctly, the fluttering sensation will match the one in your heart.

Cheek Kiss - A friendly, “I really like you″ kiss. Often the preferred kissing method of a first date. With your hands on your partner’s shoulders, gently brush your lips across her cheek.

Fruity Kiss - Take a small piece of fruit and place between your lips (juicy fruits such as grapes, strawberries, small pieces of pineapple or mango are ideal). Kiss your partner and nibble one half of the piece of fruit while they nibble the other until it breaks in half, allowing the juice to run into your mouths.

Hand Kiss - Gently raise her hand to your lips. Lightly brush your lips across the top of her hand. Historically this kiss was performed with a bow, which showed deference to a lady.

Hostage Kiss - Cover your lips with tape and get your love’s attention. When they come near, make noises like you’re trying to tell them something and motion as if you can′t get the tape off.

The Buzzing Kiss - Gently place your lips against your lover’s neck , behind their ear. Now, send a shudder through their skin by gently growling and humming, vibrating your lips and cheeks as you do so. Move up and down the neck, over the bones of the face and lips. Stimulating and erotic when done correctly.

The Whipped Cream Kiss - Dip your finger into some cool whip or whipped cream of your choice. Lick it off slowly, then embrace your partner and kiss them deeply letting their tongue slip over yours for a wonderfully sweet kiss. It’s very seductive and passionate.

Tiger Kiss - Quietly sneak up behind your partner making sure they do not know what you are going to do. Out of the blue, grab them and gently bite their neck. Make sure to get a few good growls in too. This will surely surprise them.

Trickle Kiss - Take a sip of a favourite drink and trickle it slowly into partner’s mouth while kissing.

Tongue Sucking - A variation of the French kiss. During an open-mouth kiss gently suck on your partner’s tongue (not too hard because it may hurt). Very sexy :-)

Quickie Kiss - When you’re in a rush. Often the nose gets it rather than the lips.

Vacuum Kiss - While kissing open-mouthed, slightly suck in as if you were sucking the air from your partners mouth. This is a playful kiss.

Wake Up Kiss - Before your partner awakes lean over and kiss his or her cheek and move over giving soft kisses until you reach his or her lips. This is definitely a more than pleasant way to wake up!

Wedding Speeches - Wedding Speech Etiquette

Weddings can be fraught occasions. An inappropriate remark can ruin the day for the couple. That is why it is so important that those giving a speech on the wedding day should be very careful about what they say.

That is not to say, of course, that they should not be light-hearted or witty. It is just to remind you that what may seem hilarious at the bachelor party might not sound equally funny to the bride’s mother or grandmother. A good speaker always tailors his or her wedding speech to the audience.

Weddings are usually family affairs and there may even be children present. That is why a speaker should not tell a smutty joke for example. There are some things that are taboo and should never be mentioned. One is that no mention should be made of the wedding couples’ past love life. A wedding day is obviously not the time either to make racist or political remarks. Nor is it a time to refer to previous husbands or wives, unless, of course, with the couple’s agreement. You need to be careful too about mentioning a family death. Again you should consult the wedding couple because the bride or groom might want his or her mother or father remembered on his or her big day.

A wedding speech should, ideally be warm and positive. You should speak about the virtues of the wedding couple and their suitability for each other. It’s ideal to mention their hobbies and their wonderful personalities. You could show you have done your homework by mentioning some childhood incident or something that shows either the bride or groom in a good light.

Obviously it depends on why you are speaking. If you are the father of the bride your wedding speech should be about how proud you are of your daughter and how much she means to you. You should mention her growing years and pay a gracious compliment to her mother. You ought to welcome the groom and his family into yours and end by toasting the happy couple. If, of course, there is divorce or family disagreement you have to be very careful not to mention it but concentrate on your daughter and her future happiness.

You may be the bride’s uncle or a family friend rather than the bride. If so, you should mention her father if that is appropriate and say that you are honored to be speaking at his daughter’s wedding. If her father has disappeared or should not be mentioned for some reason then simply say how honored you are to speak at the wedding of someone who is close to you. Your speech should mention how happy you are for the wedding couple and how you know that the groom is an ideal choice for her. You should mention how lovely the bride looks on her special day. You should say that the groom and his family will make a lovely addition to hers. The wedding speech should be touching and personal. It should end with a toast to the couple.

If the bride chooses to speak she will usually thank her parents for their love over the years. She will say how happy she is to be marrying her groom. She may thank those who helped her organise the wedding and she will usually say how wonderful her in-laws are too. Her speech is not traditional so she can make it very short and sweet.

The groom will, of course say, how beautiful his bride is. He will speak of his parents and how much they mean to him. He will mention his best man and the experiences they have shared over the years. He should speak too of his new in-laws and how welcoming they have been. He should say how happy he is that his bride has married him and that he looks forward to their future together. He will end his wedding speech with a toast to the bridesmaids.

A best man on the other hand, is usually the MC for the day so he is expected to keep the ball rolling. In his wedding speech he should refer to his friendship or kinship to the groom. He is expected to be light-hearted and to introduce the speakers in turn. So if there is a clergyman or woman present he invites them to speak first. Then he invites the father of the bride or friend of the family to speak. The father of the groom and perhaps the bride herself or her maid of honor follows this. Then the groom should speak and it is the best man’s duty to respond to the groom’s toast to the bridesmaids and, finally to read out any messages of congratulation. Before he does so, however, he will toast the wedding couple if the bride’s father has not done so already. If the bride’s father has toasted them the best man will simply offer them his best wishes for the future.

Weddings are traditional occasions and most couple follow the usual wedding etiquette.
However there may be discord amongst families or there may be no family members present. In such a case a friend of the wedding couple may speak and wish them well and toast them in a light-hearted or jocular way. However it is their special day and the remarks, however, light-hearted, should be sincere. Above all a wedding speech should be gracious no matter who or what the personalities involved. So if the father of the bride is divorced and bitter he should still be able to say one good thing about the bride’s mother such as she is a great mother. The bride or the groom should never be upset by family discord on such a day.

Nobody is giving marks out of ten for the speech etiquette. Nonetheless just as you would not go to a black tie in your jeans your speech should suit the occasion. That is it should speak of the bride’s beauty, how much the groom suits her and of the wonderful future that lies ahead. If you incorporate these things in your wedding speech you can’t go far wrong.

Ukraine Singles - Curiosity and Fun

Ukraine is speeding up the process of economic development, but what the government has not yet done on paper actually has been done by the young people in this country. They opened the boundaries long before any politician.

Ukraine was part of the former Soviet Union and people who live there are not only bilingual but also have their souls open for new cultures. The times of the Cold war today are forgotten and young women are eager to discover the world and its wonders.

You will see many girls on the international dating websites or communities where they will be among the most active members and participants in the discussions.

The life in modern Ukraine has made them interesting companions and you will be surprised by their profound knowledge not only in topics like lifestyle and celebrities but also far more serious issues such as the modern economy or global warming.

No matter what method you have used and how you got in touch with the Ukrainian single girl, you will fall in love with her intellect hidden behind a beautiful face and body. One is sure, almost everyone dreams of knowing Ukrainians better.

Actually to reach the first date is not so difficult a task. Like everywhere else, local girls love to receive compliments and are looking for interesting companions for chat.

Do not be shy and share as much as you can with the lady of your heart. Do not be offensive. Some of the women who live in Ukraine are very sensitive toward topics such pride and self-esteem. The fact that you come from a well developed western country does not allow you to ask ironic questions on politics or economy.

Our advice is to respect the people who live here because you will be surprised how much more they know than you especially in the art of surviving in an emerging economy.

Distances are often big and communication with Ukraine singles might be difficult. If you are sure that this is the woman of your life, do not try to save on phone calls. Written correspondence is good, but voice and pictures are even better. Today there are many methods to remind her of you with a picture or low cost phone call. Search for good offers and hear her as often as possible.

Single girls often feel lonely because they do not have the right man on their side. If you call her impulsively and share what is in your mind, tell her what you do when you are at work or ask her about her plans, this will convince her that you have serious intentions with the relationship you are going to start or just started.

The key to the single’s heart is always in communication. Select the right words and be sure that they do not have double meanings and use the most polite and tender phrases you know. Your relationship will be made with two different cultures and this merger, if not done right, could mess up your plans. Every time when you feel any kind of misunderstanding, use all communication channels to get things clear. This will help you to keep going forward in your relationship.

Last but not least, ask her about her family. Ukrainian singles usually live with their families and this will help you know the name of the old female voice who is answering the phone when your lady is not at home.

Don’t get scammed. Check out our reviews of all of the top ukrainedatingreview.com/ ukrainian dating agencies at Ukraine Dating Review. Looking for a ukrainiandatingservice.com/ ukraine bride or anastasiaweb.com.ua/ ukraine dating? Visit us now. You will be spoilt for choice.

Online Dating 101 - Online Dating Basics

Online Dating 101
by Kevin Koger

Feeling like there’s something that’s just not quite there yet in how you’re going about this whole online dating thing? Don’t feel bad, chances are you’re one of the many people who’re still pretty new to this gig. Heck, internet dating has only been around for about eight years, so obviously no one out there can claim to have all the answers.

But hey, seeing that we’ve been perfecting the art of matching people up online all eight of those years, we’d like to share a little of what we’ve learned about how to make the best of your online experience. Who knows, one of these pointers might be just what you’ve been missing in perfecting your own online dating adventures.

Therefore, without further ramblings, here are the:

TOP 10 TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL ONLINE DATING

SAY CHEESE!
Look your best and submit a great photo of yourself for your profile photo. A good picture really is worth a thousand words, and research shows that you are nearly 10 times more likely to be noticed if you post a photo to your profile.

And, the same stats hold true when you contact someone you’ve noticed on the site. If you don’t have a photo, don’t be surprised if the responses aren’t too quick in coming back.

Now, don’t get mad a start making accusations about all the shallow people out there. While it may be true that some people place too much emphasis on physical appearances, the bottom line is it does make a difference when two people are meeting and making initial evaluations of their interest in each other. And, it’s also a trust thing. It is always going to be much easier to interact with a face than with a blank box.

FRESH IS GOOD
Change your profile picture and greeting occasionally, add photos to your photo album, and login regularly—this will not only get you noticed, but it will help others get a more varied and up-to-date idea of what constitutes the real you.

When something interesting happens in your life, tell us about it in your profile greeting. This is a great way to let your online friends in on what it might be like to actually spend time with you. That’s the main goal of online dating isn’t it, to find people you’d finally like to meet and spend time with face-to-face? Anyways, it’s always more fun to hear about a crazy experience you’ve just had than to read the same old descriptions of you and your cat that have been on your profile for months now.

As for photo albums, this is the icing on the cake. Not only do these photos round out and confirm the physical picture your friends are forming of you, but they also go a long way in helping others really see what makes you “you.” The head and shoulders shot of you in your profile photo is nice and all, but when they see you hanging 10, running with your Chihuahua, or shoving a big fat piece of cheesecake in your mouth … now they’re getting to know you.

I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN ME
Have fun describing yourself without making excuses about why you′re on the site or who convinced you to finally go online. Tell us what makes you unique.

Believe it or not, being an online dater no longer places you on the fringes of society or even in the minority. Online dating has grown up and moved into the mainstream, and so you can now happily assume that the face-saving qualifiers of past times online are now obsolete. And, more importantly, just realize that they don’t help your cause when meeting others online.

One more thing … try to be original. Yes, I’m sure you really do like the outdoors and want to meet someone who looks good in a tux and in jeans, but so does everyone else! Tell us some things about yourself that wouldn’t necessarily come out in an elevator conversation with your tax accountant. For example, what are you passionate about? What would you do if no longer had to work for a living? What’s your favorite flavor of gelato? Do you secretly wish everyday was sampling day at the grocery store? … now it’ getting interesting!

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY
Don’t be fooled thinking telling fibs will impress that special someone enough to get relationship started… it will turn them off! Be your best self.

When you really stop and think about it, what do you think your new friend’s reaction is going to be if when you meet for the first time it’s obvious you’re not the person they thought they were going to be meeting? “Oh .. hi. I see that you’ve been dishonest with me from the get-go here, but hey, I’m still thinking we’ve got a great shot at having an open, trusting relationship for the long-term” Obviously not.

They’re going to be hurt, and disappointed. And, your relationship is unlikely to get past the wave goodbye as your friend gets back in their car to go home.

IT′S NICE TO BE NICE
Okay, so you get a little grouchy once in a while—don’t we all? However, people like nice people. Please be considerate and polite … it will make this whole online thing so much more enjoyable for all of us!

There’s an interesting social phenomenon researchers have discovered in online interactions. They’ve found people often change their standards of politeness and diplomacy when a conversation is happening online, versus face-to-face.

Don’t believe it? You might be surprised if you were to go back and look at some of the things you’ve said. Look at some messages you’ve sent, and then consider saying the exact same words in a face-to-face or a telephone conversation. Sound a little rough? Don’t feel too bad, it happens to the best of us, just try to keep this in mind the next time you’re typing out an email or instant message.

One more thing—please don’t ignore people. A quick “thanks, but no thanks” note is so much better than no reply at all. In fact, next time you’re replying to a message on the site, check out the new “Thanks but No Thanks” template. It’s a quick way to nicely let someone know you’re not interested in corresponding.

YOU CAN PICK YOUR FRIENDS …
Invite your friends along! Create Activity Groups, go on group dates, try Express Dating, enjoy travel events, and just enjoy the net together. After all, instant messaging alone isn’t enough to build solid relationships.

Group dating and group events simply make a lot of sense for online dating. Not only does it make those first dates less stressful, it often makes them more fun, and it definitely makes first meetings a much safer proposition.

Have you ever tried Activity Groups? They’re a great way to meet people with common interests in a safe, fun group setting. You can join a group that’s already been created, or you can create your own and invite all your friends to join … and their friends … and their friends … you get the point.

BREAK OUTA THAT SHELL
Don’t be afraid to make the first contact. Online dating makes it easy for all you shy ones out there to break the ice, because you get to do all the initial getting to know each other from the comfort and safety of your own computer.

To start, just send a Flirt or a quick email message saying Hi—and do it often! You might be surprised how many of our great members suffer from lack of attention from their online peers. Not only might you find someone with whom you’re very interested in maintaining contact, but you’ll probably be making someone’s day.

EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS
If your first internet efforts haven’t turned up “the perfect one,” don’t despair. Hundreds of new people sign up every day on the site, so just come back to see Who’s New. You may also want to consider expanding your searches—don’t be too intent on sticking to your itemized checklist for eternal mates.

You might also want to try some different searches from time to time. Because there are about a million different things you might find attractive in another person, it’s nice to mix up the criteria you’re searching on once in a while. For example, you can search by their Occupation, any Keyword or combination of keywords you can think
of, and many others.

UH OH … THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE FUN!
Don’t be afraid to have some fun along your path to relationship happiness! Enjoy getting to know people and understand that many happy relationships and even marriages start with a good ol’ friendship. And, don’t rush it!

You’ve heard animals can sense fear? Well, we humans can be pretty perceptive as well (except for that one guy who just can’t take a hint). So, don’t think others can’t sense when you’re frustrated, dejected, conceited, holier than thou, fed up, etc. etc. Put a smile on, and enjoy the ride, because even if the first few people you meet aren’t Mr./Mrs. Right, it doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun in good
conversations with them.

You may also need to be a little bit patient as you head off into the brave new world of online dating. Not all marriages are “love at first site,” and even if yours is, it may take a lot of looking before you “site” that special someone. And so, once again … enjoy the ride!

USE YOUR NOODLE
Ya know, that gray matter between your ears? That’s your noodle. Use it! Be smart, be cautious, and follow our safety guidelines, your instincts, and the spirit in all your dating activity.

Done right, online dating is a lot of fun, and it’s a great way to meet some wonderful people … just ask the thousand-plus people we’ve had submit success stories to us in the past few years! So, enjoy it, and follow these ten tips, and hopefully we’ll be getting a success story from you sometime soon.

Planning A Beach Wedding

Weddings are a very special occasion in one’s life. Brides go to great lengths to make it a remarkable and unforgettable event. Usually, brides and grooms get married in a church, decorated function hall, or some type of club.

So, how about trying something new like planning a beach wedding? Getting married on the beach at sunset will simply be superb. Planning a wedding on a beach will surely be incomparably romantic and wonderful. However, here are some basic and handy tips to make your wedding more special on a beach.

First of all, you have to be careful in setting up a tent for the forthcoming nuptials. Because planning a beach wedding is more a natural setup, no matter how strong your hope is, there is always a chance that it might rain on your wedding day. Why take a chance and ruin the party? It is always advisable that you book an indoor backup site close to the original beach wedding ceremony site.

There is no doubt renting a tent will keep the rain out, at the same time it will also allow you to keep up a roomy open-air feeling, allowing sweet and calm ocean breezes inside. Renting a tent can be a little expensive and will add an extra expenditure to your wedding. Although, it should hardly matter compared to the damage that one would face when the wedding ceremony gets spoiled by a down pour.

However, there is still an alternative to those who want something other than a tent for your wedding reception. You can even hold your wedding at a catering spot with both beach-front and indoor capabilities or book a church hall with the same amenities.

Keeping in mind the formalities of your wedding and depending on the number of guests, bridesmaids, and groomsmen that you are expecting, you will likely go for some beautiful flooring that you can easily rent. Flooring comes in various materials from carpeted to parquet, which is not very expensive. Moreover flooring is important for a wedding reception on the beach.

One more point to keep in mind is, if you have a very small group guests gather around while you and your fiancé speak your vows, it can be very intimate and stunning. On the other hand, if the guest list is large, seating arrangements become necessary.

Now, let’s get a little more detailed with the arrangements of beach seating, which can be tricky and beautiful when done perfectly. First of all, for chairs and table arrangements, you should make sure that the floor is strong and sturdy. Picture chairs with legs sinking slowly in the sand looks best.

Setting up a few beach umbrellas behind the guest area gives a personalized look especially for a day time beach wedding. Most important of all, open beaches are more prone to bugs and mosquitoes, so make sure to arrange for some bug spray around the wedding reception area.

Finally, consider arranging a good sound system for the big day, so that your wedding is forever remembered with lasting, sweet musical notes.

Are There Ways To Save Money On A Wedding?

On average, a wedding costs about HKD200,000, which is about USD25,500. This is not a small amount indeed. Couples may want to save money on your wedding. The money saved can be used for the sweet honeymoon. However, do you know the ways to save money on your wedding?

Once you decide to get married, you will need to prepare a lot of items. This includes the wedding venue, catering services, liquors, wedding photography, wedding favors and wedding stationery. You can spend less and save money on these items. I will try to explain how you can do it in the case of Hong Kong.

The first thing you need to think about is the wedding venue. You may want to have your wedding in a five star hotel but this certainly means a higher budget. If you are going for a less formal wedding reception, you may consider the idea of beach wedding. You can rent the spaces on a beach from the government and this will only cost you a few thousand Hong Kong dollars.

For the catering service, if you follow the first step, you can try to get a company which offer outdoor catering services. This will be a lot cheaper than having the wedding reception in a hotel ballroom. A wedding reception in a hotel will probably cost you HKD160,000 for two hundred guests but a wedding reception on the beach may only cost you less than half.

Besides, you should always prepare and bring the liquor yourself, the cost of liquor provided by the catering services can be twice the cost of bringing the liquor yourself. You can shop around and compare what are the liquors you find the most acceptable, and at the same time meet your budget.

Considering the wedding photography, normally I will suggest a couple to hire two photographers since you can still get your wedding photos even in a cast that there is something wrong with the camera of one of the photographers. If you are so determined to save money, however, I will suggest you hire only one photographer who charges you a low price.

Then you can ask your friends and relatives to take snap shots and other photos during your wedding so that you can still take the safety measures without any difficulty.

You should try to make the wedding favor yourself. You may try to make some chocolates on your own and use them as wedding favors. This does not only help you save money but will also impress your guests. Since the wedding favors are made from your heart and it will be the most unique wedding favors in the world.

In Hong Kong, wedding stationery mainly refer to the invitation. Items like RSVP and Thank You Card are not a must in the tradition of Hong Kong. You can consider printing the invitation yourself. You can download some free cliparts from the internet and compose your own wedding invitation. Then you print the wedding cards yourself with your printer at home.

By going through the above steps, it should be possible for you to save more than half you budget for your wedding.

Finding a Russian Bride Safely

Since the early years of 19th century, ordering brides via mail had never lost its popularity amongst the men for finding a special bride. Some men found the love they have been looking for and some women found the financial security, family and new horizons in foreign countries. With the increasing popularity, business got bigger and bigger, dozens of new agencies formed and millions of singles tried building families and in fact 54% of them succeeded.

What changed was with the birth of the Internet, some people whom we now call ‘scammers’ used the advantages of online dating services and thousands of innocent men got suckered millions of dollars for finding the love or a possible wife from foreign countries. These scammers posted some fake pictures on dating sites, emailed innocent men using special patterns of content in their messages and mostly succeeded in their evil plans.

So must you be afraid of looking for a russian bride on the net? Definitely not. According to researches, 89% percent of russian women looking for a spouse on the internet have honest intentions and only 50% percent of these women find the love from distant lands. And again according to the researches 76% of scammers are men who even do not live in the country they claim to.

So what can you do to avoid being scammed? How can you know if your potential bride is a scam or not? So here are some tips to differentiate a scammer from an honest woman:

You have a profile on a dating site. Maybe you’re not so popular or even you don’t have a picture on this site. And out of nowhere you started getting letters from a russian beauty. That’s is a red flag and you must be very cautious.

The picture(s) is another point. Some russian girls do not have the financial means to buy a digital camera or even to get their pictures taken from a professional. So if the picture(s) you’re seeing is too good to be true or the image names contain long numbers, this is another flag.

A scammer never reads your emails properly. All they do is to tell about themselves and pretending to fall in love after 3-4 letters.

If she/he talks about her financial problems in the first or second letter, this is a big red flag and it’s better if you can reconsider wasting your time or money with her/him.

Never send any money for VISA or airplane tickets, sick family members or phone bills. If she really loves for whom you’re, she will not ask for this before she meets you anyway.

So these are some important points you must never forget or ignore. It was proven that the best way to meet a woman from abroad is visiting her on her city. If she’s a scammer, she will try everything to avoid this, anyway. While involving in communications with her, ask straight questions and look if you’re getting sincere &amp honest answers or are you being ignored?

After knowing each other and the first dating stage, do not hesitate to start talking on the phone. Listen to her voice and try to discover if she is a woman in love or she is after your money.

If you keep these tips in your mind and take the necessary cautions. You may find your dream love from Russia or other countries. Don’t forget that there are thousands of honest russian women looking for an honest man like you. If you are sincere and honest to them, they will return you the favour.

Wedding Day Health Tips

“Hold on to the center and make up your mind to rejoice in this paradise called life.”

Lao-tzu

6th century BC Chinese philosopher, founder of Taoism

Who do you think is more beautiful, a person wearing tons of makeup, or someone who radiates health and confidence?

We hope you chose the naturally healthy and confident woman.

At one wedding, one bride had decided that she was going to be the perfect princess on her wedding day. She bought lots of new makeup and learned how to apply it. That morning, it all went on her face: the foundation, blusher, eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara, lip-liner, lipstick and eyebrow color. The problem was, her groom had chosen a natural, athletic, outdoorsy woman to marry. When she appeared, he looked shocked and it registered clearly on his face. The whole emotional tone of the wedding went down the drain. At the wedding reception there were countless comments about how the bride was barely recognizable.

Be yourself on your wedding day! Don’t choose that day to go for a radical new look. If you already wear a lot of makeup, don’t go bare that day. If you usually don’t wear any makeup, spring for a nice lip gloss.

Rather than using a lot of extra makeup on your wedding day, how about paying extra attention to your health in the weeks and months before the wedding?

• Start with lots of water. Most people are dehydrated. No, coffee, soda or alcohol doesn’t count. In fact, for every cup of coffee, alcohol or soda you consume, you’ll need to add an extra glass of water!

• Don’t go on a starvation diet. You may end up a few pounds lighter, but you’ll look haggard and tired. The wrong diet can play havoc with your emotions. Concentrate on including some healthy foods in your diet. A simple glass of orange juice delivers a tremendous amount of nutrition to your body. Every time you pick up something to eat, ask yourself: is this going to make me look more or less beautiful on my wedding day?

• Exercise! We know, who has time to exercise when planning a wedding? But take a good walk every day. It will help balance your mind and your body.

• Take a good vitamin every day. We all know we need extra nutrition when we’re facing something big. Add some antioxidants- vitamins c, e and b. They’ll help your skin look more radiant, and boost your energy.

• Get your hair trimmed- no, don’t go for the big haircut or color change the day before the wedding. Be who you are. Aim for healthy, shiny hair. Find a good stylist if you don’t already have one. If you’re going to go with an updo for the wedding, make a few appointments with him or her to practice. Take some pictures of yourself with the updo. Make sure you make a choice that reflects who you are.

• Get plenty of sleep. There may be lots of social events connected with your wedding. It may be challenging to get enough sleep. Set a bedtime and try to stick to it. Rested=Relaxed=Radiant.

• Practice breathing. Yes, that’s what we said! Most people breathe high in their upper chest. The result is rapid, shallow breathing. One of the most effective methods for increasing your health and vitality is to breathe! Try this: lay on your bed with a hand over your belly button. Breathe in a way that makes your hand go up and down. See if you can slow and deepen your breath. The more you’re able to breathe, the easier it will be to deal with your emotions.

• Spend time with your groom just having fun! Planning a wedding does not have to consume your life. Being with the man of your dreams is a natural calmative. Having fun releases endorphins in your brain- endorphins relax, calm and allow you to feel happy.

• Find someone trustworthy with whom you can share your feelings about the wedding and this transition in your life. Usually, this needs to be a girlfriend. We can tell you that the vast majority of grooms have very little interest in the fine details of the wedding. And trying to explain your emotions about getting married to the groom is guaranteed to set off a lot of insecurity in both of you.

This is a huge step in your life. Getting married is bound to set off a lot of feelings. That’s normal within a certain range.

Be yourself! You’ll be more grounded and relaxed so that you can radiate confidence and really be able to share your love with your groom at this special, wonderful and important time!
