Are you really prepared for your wedding day?

At one of my interviews this week, with a beautiful bridal couple, after talking about the obvious... Photography for their wedding day, we starting touching on all other aspects of their day. Preparing your wedding day Vs  being prepared  FOR  your wedding day.

Preparing your day... A lot of planning.  The venue, the ceremony location, the photographer and THE Gown... whew ! Exhausting. then come the details, rings, flowers, cake, food, music, decor ect... Lots of sleepless nights, arguments and excitment. even the arguments are somehow exciting. This is going to be the most important day of your life.  Not scared are you?

Now that you think you are all prepared, you've only just begun. Even though you have dozens of details already co-ordinated, there is fine tuning you still need to think about and maybe even practice ahead of time. 

Most couples will have a chance to practice or rehearse their ceremony, the hair and makeup for the brides, and countless fittings for the bride and the bridesmaids and probably even the groom and the groomsmen. 

Here are things many couples are not prepared for:  How to tie your dress... oh yeah, the lady at the shop said you do this first and then, I think this????? Do not leave it until wedding morning. Have the maid of honnor practive this with you;  Have you tried to put on this particular veil before the day of the wedding? You will have a trial for your hair and makeup. Why not bring the veil with you and figure out exactly how it's supposed to go on. How does your train butle up. Are you wearing a vintage kind of dress, shoes, Are you coming in on a horse? Have you ridden a horse wearing a gown before? How about, the first dance? have you ever danced together before? How about basic dance lessons?

Even the toss of the bouquet you can practice in your backyard. Set a bowl on a table or the top of the stairs and turn your back to it. Pratice tossing an artificial bouquet into it. You will be surprised...

Halloween

Canada being my adoptive country, halloween seemed strange to me as a kid. We did not celebrate or had even heard of Halloween in Egypt, the country where I was born. We did go to masquerade balls but there was no candy involved and it wasn't about wearing scarry costumes.

I now know the origins of this celebration and even though the essence of it is long forgotten, I can see why some people prefer to bypass the holiday all together.  I must admit, it is not my favorite holiday. And now that my children are all grown up and no longer go trick or treating, I didn't really feel like getting into the spirit of it. 

Nonetheless, I was curious to see what was left of my old decorations. Despite my shabby display, I made sure I had a litup pumpkin to signify that "We were giving candy" . I am glad I was home to receive the little muchkins. It was such a pleasure to see their little faces  - or masks - light up and hear their gleeful voices say "Thank you."  

Yesterday on Halloween night, distributing candy to little ones was one more opportunity to appreciate the fact that I am Canadian and that I live in a great country.
