We all know about some traditions but did you know there are also traditions over choosing which day and month you get married in?

Saturdays are the most popular day to get married, this is mostly down to convenience of people being available as a lot of people work during the week. But traditionally it is the worst day to get married on.

The best day is a Wednesday but it is very unusual for people these days to get married on a Wednesday.

This rhyme explains the days of the week;

Monday for wealth
Tuesday for health
Wednesday the best day of all
Thursday for losses
Friday for crosses
Saturday for no luck at all

This rhyme mentions nothing of a Sunday which is strange as many people get married on a Sunday in modern times but it was probably unthinkable in yester year as Sunday is the Lords Day and should not have been taken away from that. Also conjugal rights would come into question.

What about the month? Summer has turned into the most popular wedding month as it has better weather and recently has become the wedding season but is it the most fortuous time of year to get married?

May is said to be the worst time to get married and on the religeous note again any time during lent is a bad time to marry as lent is traditionally a time of abstinence.

Married when the year is new, he’ll be loving, kind and true.
When February birds do mate, You wed nor dread your fate.
If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow both you’ll know.
Marry in April when you can, Joy for Maiden and for Man.
Marry in the month of May, and you’ll surely rue the day.
Marry when June roses grow, over land and sea you’ll go.
Those who in July do wed, must labour for their daily bred.
Whoever wed in August be, many a change is sure to see
Marry in September’s shrine, your living will be rich and fine.
If in October you do marry, love will come but riches tarry.
If you wed in bleak November, only joys will come, remember.
When December snows fall fast, marry and true love will last.

Marry in May and you’ll live to rue the day

In times like these where money is tight more and more couples are bringing their budgets down and taking off abroad to get married. Most British weddings can cost between £10,000 and £25,000 this is not including the big extravagant weddings some people go for.

When looking at receptions a lot of places charge around £100 per head to get an average meal and a buffet, so when you take into consideration the bride and groom, immediate family, bridesmaids, best man your looking at thousands just on food and drink. Then you have to think about family politics… you have to invite great Aunt Edna because she won’t be around much longer or your Mums best friend who has known you since you were little, and if anyone has a partner your doubling your costs straight away.

It is no wonder people are giving up and going for all inclusive holiday packages, you cut down the stragglers on your guest list as not everyone will want to pay for flights but the important people will come and you can have a great wedding including car, flowers, food and entertainment for about £5,000.

Bulgaria is in the honeymoon stage of European Union membership by having a construction boom from Black Sea to Sofia. The projected economic growth of Bulgaria for the year 2007 was 6%. Due to these positive indicators many people especially from Europe are investing in Bulgarian property.  But Bulgaria is also considered as one of the best places in Europe for vacations and honeymoon.

There are tons of enjoyable places in Bulgaria. However I would like to write about the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. The Bulgarian Black Sea coast was inhabited few centuries ago. It is a very popular place among thousands of Bulgarians and foreign visitors. It covers the entire eastern bound of Bulgaria. The white and golden sandy beaches occupy 130 kilo meter of 378 kilo meter coast. It is an important centre for tourism during summer season e.g. May to October. The average temperature of the area in summer is about 28°C.
So if you want to have the nice sunny holidays next year then I would suggest you to visit The Bulgarian Black Sea coast. The accommodation charges vary from 25 Euros to 60 Euros, depending upon the area and the facilities provided by the hotel.

It is the fact that people planning their wedding are stressed out. The reason for this stress includes money, time and general expectations. So when you getting married you try your level best to manage your time and money perfectly. Similarly you should be good in stress management so that you can enjoy your wedding day. Remember nobody can escape from stress the only way is to manage the stress and one should be good in stress management.

The pre-wedding period could be very stressful time for some people. It is important to manage stress and anxiety effectively during this time so that you and your partner can enjoy this time. The basic difference between the people who feel stress during this time and those who do not feel is not the presence or absence of the stress, but the ability to recognize the stress when it occurs and to manage it.

Following are the four steps which can be helpful in stress management.

• Recognize and understand the signs of stress.

• Identify and then understand the source of the stress.

• Learn how to manage the controllable sources of stress.

• Learn to support yourself and deal with stress reactions to situations beyond your control.

When choosing wedding gifts many guests like the bride and groom to provide a wedding list, this is a list of items that the couple need or want and the guests can mark off which gift they are going to get the couple on a bit of a first come first serve basis.
A lot of gifts are more a necessity or something they would like but cannot afford. These days a lot of couples are setting up home together and in the recent economic climate they find it difficult to buy the items they would like to make their house a home.
Things like contemporary furniture are quite expensive and a nice luxury gift for the couple that will last. A lot of young couples can only afford basic furniture second hand or IKEA which will not last so if you get them good furniture that will last it is a nice thoughtful gift. Also contemporary furniture will fit in on what they want to do with the room rather than have to shoe horn an item into a room full of other contemporary items.
A wedding gift like this is much better than a toaster or something they will not need or use, especially if they just hide it away until you come round.

When it comes to displaying or storing your wedding photos most of the people use traditional wedding albums. No doubt these traditional wedding albums are well presented, stylish and nicely bound but the problem with them is that they can only be used to ‘store’ the wedding photos and then later on we just put them away out of site. We never see them and we even do not realize that these are the pictures of the happiest day of our life.

It is better to Canvas photos then hiding them away in a wedding album and only looking them when friends and relatives come and they ask for them.  For all these reasons I would suggest to have your wedding photos displayed on the wall.  It is a very good option to frame the wedding photos but the much better option would be to have the photos printed on canvas and hung on the wall, just like an art work. I think it is good way to bring the best of your wedding pictures and make them alive and this can only be done when you canvas your wedding photos. Remember wedding day is one of the best days of one’s life so it should be remember in a better way.

Recently I have decided to go tea total for a while, as after some heavy weekends I felt it was time to detox. Well my fiances family are quite big drinkers and encourage me to drink with them especially planning the wedding. My abstinence has cnvinced my mother in law to be that I am pregnant and she doesn’t believe me when I protest.

It has made me think a lot about the old fashioned shot gun weddings, it used to be that couples would refrain from… erm… coupling until the wedding night. Therefore if a woman were to get pregnant the pair would be forced to get hitched, the father traditionally forced down the aisle with a shotgun to his head.

Noadays this is not so much of an issue as it is more and more common for people to have children out of wedlock. Although I think I’ll wait till I’m married before we start thinking about starting a family as my Grandmother is quite traditional and I wouldn’t be surprised if she had a shot gun hidden somewhere.

I went to Manchester Wedding Fair last month, held at what used to be the GMEX and is now Manchester Central. It is the first time I went to this fair, last year I went to Harrogate Bridal Show which was very impressive.

Manchester Bridal show was a bit disapointing, I still had to pay the same amount to get in but it was no where near the same sort of size as Harrogate was. Firstly I didn’t kmow where to go, I was given vague directions by someone that worked there but myself and about 7 or 8 others just stumbled around till we found the back entrance to Manchester Central.

The show was very small with only about 100 stalls all in the same hall, there was a fashion show in the middle which was quite entertaining but used up a lot of space.

The stalls were quite good but they were mostly photographers and teeth whitening products. I went to the fair hoping to try dresses and look for a venue but there weren’t many dress stalls and all the venue stalls seemed a bit needy.

I enjoyed my self but did not find anything of any use for my wedding.
