Hello Everyone! 11 Days! Holy Cow! Attached is the itinerary for the weekend. I have a few requests for the all of the craziness:
1. Please try your absolute hardest to be on time. This will make everything so much smoother.
2. Due to the fact that my parents have spent insane amounts of money on this wedding. It is our goal that it remains a classy event. That being said. I would really appreciate if during the day alcohol consumption is limited to some mimosas in the morning and possibly a beer on the party bus during pictures. I would really appreciate everyone to be sober (or very close to it) for the ceremony.
3. At the reception we will all be sitting at a head table. Therefore all eyes will be on us. I would like you all to take it
4. Make a speech. I thought it was going to be tough following a speech by the groom and I was right, I couldn't understand a single word he said.
Senator Bernie Sanders wrote a New York Times piece entitled “Why We Need Medicare for All” to persuade the general public to support a bill (called Medicare for All). While I believe Sen. Sanders’ overall desire for universal affordable healthcare is a valiant one and many of his points--on their surface--seem to make sense intuitively, his arguments are based more so on emotion than logic and I fervently disagree with his premises. In this paper I will briefly summarize Bernie’s premises and argument style, explain why I disagree with his stances and provide evidence as to why his plan will not work, and propose an alternate solution to socialized healthcare. Senator Sanders lays out the main ideas of his argument in his introductory paragraphs.
(1) Get the Groom to the Church sober and on time - well ladies and gentlemen I think you could all agree I have completed by first duty splendidly.
Assignment #1: Attending an African American Wedding Weddings are an occasion of great celebration. Expectations do vary greatly, depending on culture, tradition and environment. I received a wedding invitation from an African American co-worker several weeks ago. My initial thought was not to attend the wedding, which I did not RSVP or inform her that I would not be attending. I did, however, send her a card and expressed my congratulations to her.
When I was asked to be in the wedding party I decided that I needed to know what the role entailed. I have now read several books, and all of them include a last minute checklist to guarantee a smooth wedding. So, to give you a feel for the pressure I’ve been under, here are some of the things I’ve had to remember from my checklist:
Ladies and gentlemen: I would like to thank the previous speaker for those sincere words and to the bride's parents for the love that they have both shown me, not only in preparation for today, but from the first moment that we met some two and a half years ago.
Hello how are you? I apologize for not keeping in touch, but I just wanted you to know I miss you and I wish you are well. I just turned 20 at the end of last year and I am close to ending my 2nd year in college, at UC Merced. Mostly with As and Bs. I wanted to thank you, for being so sincere and caring about me. You were right about everything, it feels like freshmen/sophomore years in high school in your class were so long ago, they were centuries ago..I am embarassed to even look back at my mistakes, but I can barely remember my high school self. Looking back I realized I should've been greatful with your concern and wisdom. If only I could tell younger self what I know now, and that there are so many more important things in the world.

So here are top 5 wedding blunders we’ve compiled that soon-to-be-wed couples needs to avoid in making their wedding celebration as perfect as possible.
Tip #1: Avoid last minute, drink laden bachelor or bachelorette blow-outs. Schedule the bash at least one week prior to the ceremony. Twice I've witnessed woozy grooms who couldn't stand at their wedding rehearsal. Both brides were furious, and one not so quietly told the groom he'd better be standing tall the next day or else. Fortunately he was and we didn't get to find out the or else part, but I bet it would have been loud and nasty.
How are you? I love reading your stories! Sounds like a splendid day! Last minute plans are often the best... You enjoy biking as well? That is great! Do you bring your own bike or do you rent one? I am happy that you had a wonderful time in your “hometown”. Thank you for the info regarding the Cheltenham (pronounced Cheltnam :-)) Day. If we are in town, we may pay a visit. I really enjoy small town festivities.
I think its finally time to have a conversation to express how I feel. Its difficult to put into words everything I appreciate about you both. From who you are as people, to the person you raised me to be, everything about you two is amazing accept for all the arguing. First of all, thank you for never giving up on our family or on me. From day one you have been my support and my greatest friends.
Many important things have been accomplished in the last few months, but many significant tasks still need to be done between now and July 10th. Being a bride entails many responsibilities and priorities that must be balanced. I have learned many lessons and experiences while planning for my wedding. Adding to the challenge is the fact that I am a college student-athlete and must balance the wedding planning between school and running (practice, competition and traveling), in addition to being hours away from home, which makes it harder to plan sufficiently. Planning a wedding would be easier the second time around, but fortunately, marriage is a commitment that I intend to honor “until death do us part.” With the knowledge that I have accumulated while preparing for my wedding, I plan to give advice to brides, and possibly grooms, that could be very beneficial in planning their ideal wedding.
Ladies and gentlemen As the President of the Aboriginal Society of James Cook University, it is my honour to formally acknowledge the hard work of Eddie Mabo and the sacrifices he has made for the fifteen years or so, to achieve the historic annulment of the ‘Terra Nullius’ law by the Supreme Court last week. Although we are greatly saddened to have lost Eddie to cancer five months ago, it is with great pride that we call upon his eldest son, Eddie Jr, to receive this award, on behalf of his father. Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together to welcome Eddie Mabo’s son, Eddie Jr! Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
You are so focused on planning the wedding, but what about all the other important events leading up to the magical day? The excellent news is, you should not have to accomplish the major tasks for them. Allow your closest friends or family members have control over planning these parties— that is their turf as members of your bridal party. You should trust them when it comes to décor, activities and food. However, if you are looking to guide them in the right direction or just prefer to know what to expect, employ this pre-wedding party cheat sheet that Grand Lens Photography has provided you.
