Music For Your Wedding

Posted on Feb 09, 2009 under Musing, Tradition, Wedding Party | No Comment

I haven’t touched on this subject.. because.. i was so engrossed in other aspect of my wedding.  But we all know that having the right music..  for the entire wedding is very important.  But what kinda music..??  the generic wedding music..?  No way..!! every bride would tell you .. they want to be unique.. but how unique can one get in their wedding.. lets see eh.

A disc jockey..?? the traditional turntable kinda music..?? or a live  band..??  Hard choices eh..?? what does your man like..?? mine.. he said.. “anything”.  Yup..! right..!!!  that means i have to do all the work..  and that’s not right.  So if your man say that to you .. don’t hesitate to bring out the whip now.

As for me.. i love the live music .. but of course.. one has to choose wisely .. and the budget.. budget and more on the budget..! can one afford it..??  having a live band..  is expensive.. but if you are throwing a chinese wedding.. i guess.. you know that you will get that back in “ang pows” .. and that’s not a big deal at all.   But having said that..  you rarely see .. live bands.. in Chinese weddings.. unless of course the bride or the groom.. graduated from Harvard.

So disc jockey is great to have .. if you need to create an atmosphere .. of laughter.. and joy.. if the spouse, his family or extended family .. are not so fun ppl.  And they definitely cost a lot less than live bands.  But ultimately, if you are on a tight budget .. then the turntable.. and a very enthusiastic teen .. who loves music .. is the way to go.  Whatever one chooses, you both have to be comfy with it and within your budget.

Better Health

I am constantly reminding myself that having a wedding is not the end of a big project, it is a beginning of a much bigger plan for our future.  As a wife and a mother I have to think of being healthy, getting healthy and staying healthy; not only for myself but for my “new” family and our life together.

As far as I begin to understand things, my mother and my grandmother had taught me that natural healing or herbal healing is the best way to go.  Unlike the western medications, the Chinese believe that natural healing or natural supplements work best and do well for the body without harming the body or removing the good stuff that the body needs.

For one who is into improving their health permanently, check out www.medicine-plants.com.  Here you can learn all about the highest quality herbs and their uses at affordable prices.  Please also know that they have been helping people get healthy since 1993 and buying these herbal supplements is made easy because you can purchase them online.   If you know of someone who is menopausal or having hot flashes or even a hormonal imbalance, do get them to check this site out.

Natural Skin Care For Beautiful Brides

When one is younger they don’t notice how smooth and taut their skin is, but when they are getting older, like I am, well lets just say I wish I could have done more for my skin.  Of course some people choose certain specific brands but for myself after many years of trying different things, I prefer the au natural ingredients.

It is pretty simple why I choose au natural moisturizing body lotions or soaps and it’s because they use the finest ingredients with practically no side effects that I have ever encountered. Simple Scents is for every bride who wants to look radiant with skin they can be proud of.  After all, your bridal gown is going to be showing some skin and you definitely don’t want hydrated or rough looking skin.

For someone who lives with wicked winter and humid summer, i need a body lotion that not only moisturizes but really hydrate my skin.  You will understand what I mean, if you ever see my knees - they are so rough without good body lotion, that touching it may even cut your skin.  Smelling good is what all brides/women wantm but looking absolutely smooth and silky in your wedding gown is also a must.  Don’t deprive your skin of this wonderful and luxurious body lotion that comes in many scents for you to choose from. Whether you want to smell like the Ocean Beach or lavender or just want to smell fresh and sweet, check out Australia’s Simple Scents - they are not expensive either.
