Finally the wedding day is here, and everything must be perfect. So much worries in the last few months
that you barely have the strength to concentrate on the party. First of all you have to establish the budget and depending on the budget but also on the theme of the wedding you can have a classic, a funny, a house, a romantic party.
Full of memories, enjoyment and appreciation of the guests is the wedding party. If you decided to make the wedding during summer , then the best choice would be to organize the wedding party outdoors. This party will need to take into account details over the organization of a local wedding.
You can have an outdoor wedding somewhere in the mountains, the sea or in a restaurant that has a large garden, possibly on the bank of a river or a lake. As these places are “hunted” by most couples to marry following appropriate that you make reservation at least a year before the wedding. Do not forget to prepared a contract by which to establish clearly which are your responsibilities, prices and responsibilities of the restaurant. If you want the wedding to take place in a public space, beach, meadow, you will have to establish what rights do you have with the city hall.
Because you will never be sure what the nature will reserve for your special day, to avoid inconveniences caused by unexpected changes of climate is required to buy a tent.
If you organize the party in a restaurant this implies a lot of aspects that don’t have to be omitted like: the location, the number of places and the number of guests, the floral arrangements, the music, details that you should take into consideration from the moment you decided that you are getting married.
But on your wedding day is more important to enjoy your moment, that it is a unique one, to dance, to socialize to feel beautiful and full of life. It is day that you have dreamed at since you were a little girl and nothing will ruin your dream. So be a happy bride!!!

If the future bride will have no claim and leave everything to your appreciation, then you’ll just work it out. You will have to search for a different color not like that of the bride’s dress because most of the brides prefer that no other female person should have a dress in the same color as the wedding dress . But you also have to take care when choosing the dress, because you don’t want to have a similar dress with the godmother or other important guests. So if it is possible wear an unique dress.

Creating list of wedding invitations can become a total chaos. Whether you require the mother to invite all neighbors, whether your partner insists to invite colleagues from work, you will encounter some obstacles in planning the list of guests. There is still hope. If you follow these tips then you will not have some nightmare surprises invited for your wedding.
Choose invitations depending on budget.
Before you begin to think about the guest list think about the budget that it is allocated for the wedding, but also the type of wedding that you desire. If you want a wedding with a few guests, you should choose just the important persons in your life to participate at the wedding and you can come with a plus on the menu, decorations and favors. If you want to make a big wedding, because you have so many people that you cannot cut from the list, you can opt for a more modest and less menu decorations to fit into the budget originally set. If you want to make no compromise in terms of wedding style, location, menu and decorations, you will have to limit the number of guests, so you could have the wedding that you desire without making a hole in the budget.
Who are the guests
Generally it is , told that the family who pays more for the cost of the wedding have the right to invite more people to the wedding.
The simplest approach is that each set of parents have to invite the same number of people or a proportion of funds contributed to the cost of the wedding. If your parents or in-laws really need to invite more than the number of persons than you shall consider to ask them more money to cover the spending but also not to overcome the potential of the location.It is out of the question not invite your parents, grandparents, brothers, uncles and favorite aunts, so do not talk about it, but about those relatives whom you rarely see or never . Even if the parents insist to invite them, because this is right or that have some debt to them, try to make the list so that the closest relatives to be present. Then review the budget and room capacity where the wedding is organized and only then include other people . Relatives you do not ever see or even do not know … can be excluded to protect yourself from embarrassing moments to congratulate you and squeeze you in their arms from people you have never saw in your life.
Friends and colleagues. Where’s the party and fun, tend to collect a lot of people, but that does not mean that you have to invite your hairdresser and teacher of the class I. That friends should be chosen among those who have a close friendship and duration, which will share daily life, not those who are ready to share with you at the wedding and that’s it .In generally invite friends who are closer to you and they might be in the future. In terms of college or job colleagues, don’t invite the hole group just because you were getting along well during university .

Many details are important, but most of all it is important that the guests have fun at the wedding and this
depends on the music they listen. A situation in which all or most of the guests prefer a certain type of music is only theoretical. The guests are of different ages with different preferences: some like classical, others jazz, folk music etc. Although the wedding is yours, however you cannot choose the music that only you like , especially if your musical tastes are not shared even with the guests (e.g. rock). Yes, the marriage is yours, but the guests are there to celebrate with you. It is good to respect their tastes or otherwise you should not invite them. Even if, for instance you don’t like popular music, yet you can do except for a few songs, the song where all guests can dance together is in most cases very appreciated, especially when you are not only invited to attend. Try to avoid slow songs, some are sufficient, otherwise you risk that the guests get bored.
A band or a DJ
The Band
If you have a band-oriented approach it is good to ask what genre do they know better to play. Inform yourself about the repertoire that they have. If you excel in the genre popular, but have found that most guests prefer modern music, it is clear that you will have to search for someone. The selection of bands has the advantage that they create a better atmosphere. You can also try a quartet. However, if you decided on a band, make sure they have professional equipment, including station amplifier (PA). Ask if they have lights and if they are paid separately. Set prices in hours and keep in mind if you have long breaks or if they play on request.
The DJ
The simplest and most suitable way to find a good DJ for your wedding is to go on an “I saw him, I liked him”. If you were at a wedding or an event in which the atmosphere was fire, flawless music and all guests danced , regardless of age and the dance floor was never empty, is the case to get in touch with that DJ. If you do not know who is he and where to get it, ask recommendations from the bridal couple, or from the organizers of the wedding. If you have not personally seen any DJ who impress you, call the trust to the recommendation of friends, they may have been at weddings or events that you have not participated and they can recommend a good DJ. In the worst case, call the phone book or specialized sites, where you can get contact details of various DJ for weddings and you can interview them separately to find the right one. When you found the right DJ establish together the music genres that you want to listen at your wedding, the order of the songs and the price.

We know that in our life there are three critical moments: birth, marriage, death. But one essential point is the application to marry. Marriage marks the request of a fundamentally existence of a man (or woman, if applicable).You are in trouble is the request doesn’t please your lover Women imagines this time in the most romantic way possible and if possible if it s original is better. It is a moment of great intensity … when all the attention is pointed on them, all eyes and thoughts are channeled to it, because you cannot ignore a request to marry you off, if you happen to be present. “It” is now “the center of the universe”. No one and nothing must spoil the moment.
Marriage comes from a primary human instinct. Perhaps this is also why so many survived hundreds of years and is found in all societies and civilizations of the world. True, marriage offers phenomenal benefits both individuals and society, but is simultaneously a work that began to lose meaning.
The divorce rate has risen worryingly in recent decades. Individualism emerged to the surface, supported by personal rights considered inviolable, and empowerment of women. These things have really increased divorce rate and reduced the attractiveness of marriage. Many couples today prefer to live together without having a formal act which would have deep social and legal implications. There are many reasons why people do not want to get married. One is fear of divorce. Such separation can be caused by emotional or physical abuse, extramarital affairs, lack of money to maintain a decent lifestyle and those are just a few examples. Divorce is a traumatic experience for whatever perspective you look. Stress, suffering and bad things washed in public, many of them are divorced people who don’t want to remarry and are afraid to do the same mistake a second time.
Taking in consideration all these reason, but not only, when you are proposed by your partner, if you are not sure about how much you love your partner, if he is only an decorative object in you relation, if he/she is to possessive or obsessed of control, perfectionist or have some other personality disorders then you should have the power to say no. It is not a disaster, it doesn’t matter if people will speak about this weeks after weeks. You just have to think that it is a decision that you take for life, that it is about your happiness . Even if it sounds like a selfish gesture, and you don’t think about your lover feelings, think that it is better to be sincere both with you and your partner, rather to live a life in pain in sadness.

Men love their freedom and independence. For some, marriage is the end of freedom and the beginning of the life chain. For others it is a mistake that they do. And most people believe marriage is an exchange at which turning the eternal bond. Marriage is perceived by men as loss of sense of freedom, the obligation to have a single partner of the opposite sex, taking of responsibility and anxiety of a downturn. There could be several reasons why men are afraid to do so.
Lack of confidence in women
Although it seems rather unusual, because usually men are those who betray the trust of women, things can stay way. Many times, men started off their life with some jaundice in childhood or adolescence. Ideas that are plugged into their head by the experimented ones who already went through life and experience. Even if these ideas do not have a solid base, but are pure and simple myths, many men live with these ideas . There is also a second factor : that everything is beautiful is desirable. So then men are afraid that many others will appear in the competition better than they, and they will be removed, pushed aside. This is where the frustration and jealousy.
Entourage, friends and lifestyle
A great deal of influence it can have on an individual, is the entourage. Men usually supported celibacy,
in turn why women are at the opposite pole and search for marriage and security. As long as friends will sit around, man will not find a stable partner. In the group of friends, man can be easily influenced by the views of others.
Lack of freedom
If the women compromise in this regard in one way or another, find that men have very big problems adjusting in this regard. Eternal adventurers, when they will feel the smallest spiral of freedom, they will escape. Numerous times, they suffer of the syndrome called “invasion of privacy”. The idea that someone could share everything with them shivers down. Plus, they do not support questions, explanations and personality crises of women.
But the reality is…
Fear of marriage is based on an irrational fear, the refusal to face the responsibilities and hardships of life in two. This fear is more met in the men who prefer to love without formalize the relationship . Marriage anxiety is manifested by direct rejections, but with different stated reasons that men bring to the foreground if possible to postpone marriage. Studies of couples of friends last year showed that the rate of marriage among young people is still down from previous years. The main reasons advanced by men are: lack of trust in relationships unstable and insecure, lack of a stable job.. To these it can be added the lack of socio-cultural and intellectual status congruent with partner status, lack of harmonious relationships with parents and future in-law that would endanger conjugal relationship, lack of free time that was used. But the strongest reason is that once married you have to be limited to a single partner, and this is the equivalent of monotony, the decrease in interest towards the beloved one.

Since we were small we dreamed to get married, to you find the Charming Prince, the man that you dream to get married in a white princess dress, to have a beautiful house and at least one baby. As we mature, however, for most of us, the idea about marriage is changing and we prefer to finish school and have a career before to get married. For others of us, marriage remains a priority and we are in a hurry, even if all those around us say we are too young for marriage. In fact, how young is too young for marriage?
What does tradition says? In the United States and beyond, the couple must have at least 18 years before they could marry without parental consent. It appears that up to 18 years is not considered mature couple legally to marry. A 1946 Gallup study showed that the consensus of the population is the ideal age for marriage for women is 21 years. The same study, repeated in 2006 show that age 25 is considered ideal for women and 27 for men. As the purpose of marriage has changed from that of tlove procreation and friendship, the average age at which women marry has started to grow increasingly. We no longer focus on sexual maturity, but rather on the emotional, psychological and even financial aspect.If most of our parents are married by the age of 25 years, now it hardly happens. Marriage is postponed as long as possible, many preferring cohabitation.
There are many couples who already have one child or more, and do not want to legalize that connection between them. Motivated often by not seeking more excitement around their wedding, in itself, meaning money thrown out the window, and the relationship they already have is perfect, even if that act is missing. And, fundamentally, the act of marriage does not alter the relationship between the two partners , relationship that it is perfect without the act. May simply have phobia of marriage certificate.
Most of young people say that marriage is no longer fashionable, we like to have other perspectives in life and for sure other models :a partnership life , celibacy or, even, marriages without children. We have become modern, we want to have fun as much and no time for marriage. The studies done lately, shows that partnerships occupy several percent, against marriage. Longitudinal studies carried out over the years have shown that women who got married teenagers , when they had the age between 16 and 19 years were three times more likely to go to divorce than women who marry after 20 years. This is usually because girls expectations about marriage and couple life are not realistic, but based on planned since childhood fantasies about the ideal couple and family life.
We are in a continuous agitation, we came to believe that there are more important things in life, than to go through the marital status or tiring to organize a party with dozens of relatives and friends. Now, the career has come to occupy a much more important place than marriage. For many women, the job is the main concern, neglecting many times, sentimental life. We feel fulfilled if we have a successful career and no longer have time for marriage! For convenience, we do not realize that these two things can go very well together.
