The music at your wedding will be with you for a long, long time. Make sure it’s something you will be happy to have echoing on a perpetual replay as reminiscences sneak up on you for years and years to come.
So when the big day comes, whether you want to highlight family heritage or a missing loved one, or you’re looking for ways to celebrate the blending of cultures, how do you weave it all into your wedding?
Karen Nelson’s dress has a story. It started in the early 1980s, and its sequined sequel is underway.
Makeup, hair, nails — these services have become standard for most wedding parties. But what about options to enhance your appearance on your wedding day, and beyond? Confidence boosters that aren’t whisked away with the swipe of a washcloth at midnight?
A special day requires special care in planning.
These 12 steps will help you figure out what to do after getting engaged.
Jeff proposed to Jennifer on top of snowy Stratton Mountain, later marrying at Spruce Peak at Stowe in the fall of 2020, in an intimate ceremony surrounded by the reds, oranges and yellows of fall.
Hannah and Ross married in an intimate ceremony at Starry Night Café in North Ferrisburgh last fall, officiated by close friend, Brian McVey, and surrounded by a small gathering of friends and family members.
Does love at first sight sound too cliché? Very well. Julie and Mike’s story — how they both fell in love on their first date, how they drove home that night in a blizzard as chunky snowflakes floated past, how they braved the pangs of a long-distance relationship — is a cliché. A sweet one, all the same.
Andrea and Walter met skiing in New Hampshire and took the friends’ route for a few years before dating in 2018.
If you’re planning a wedding, then chances are you’ve thought about what kind of shoes you’ll wear.
"For years my wedding ring has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it’s time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward."
"Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you’ve got to let it grow."
The idea of getting married — that special day and all the associated trappings — never took up space in my head other than, as a man, this is what would happen some — one — day.
