A thought about Weddings...
I was reading a recent article which reminded me very much of my recent experience; THE WEDDING. It seems that everyone dreams of this Ultra Glamorous over the top wedding extravaganza. I mean who doesn’t? You were accustomed by it from our daily lives; Reality shows, Celebrity’s, and magazines. Oh not to mention Spanish Novelas played a huge role in one wanting the best dress, the best venue, ETC.
I was there myself a couple months. I put a deposit on one of the most beautiful Venues in the Inland Empire. I was planning on going to the Running of the Brides in Columbus Ohio in pursuit of Designer dress from Reem Acra or something similar to its breathtaking designs. I was planning on only having intimate wedding party where I was excluding Kids. This really triggered me with anger because I felt like it was my choice to do without kids. Let me explain in my culture Mexican people will show up to your wedding with 10 extra people that you might have not invited, get very offensive about Adult Only weddings, I guess they don’t believe in hiring a Babysitting or don’t mind they brats running around the party ; Which was one of my pet peeves.
Okay let’s move on … I still had about 6 months of planning the Perfect wedding. This was a big deal for me and my fiancé at the time because we were going to be the First ones in the family to get married through Church and bc we wanted to get married not the obvious reasons like getting knocked up ETC. So it was a big deal for both us, I felt like the pressure was on because everyone was looking up to what kind of wedding we were going to have. I was very careful not to slip details about the wedding to our families because I didn’t want anyone using our ideas. I wasn’t having the usual wedding flowers, decorations or centerpieces.
Oh I kept my mouth very closed. Not a peep…
That very month we got invited to our friend’s wedding, something small. That’s what she said. Lol.
So yea as planned very small intimate wedding with both of they’re families and friends. Her parents made Mexican food and we all drank champagne; More then others uhum, Ivette. So after a long day me and my brother decided to go to our local Winco which is open 24 hrs. He was like “why are you waiting all this time to get married” that’s when it hit me… “Why am I waiting this long?” I had already a wedding dress….but most importantly I only had half the money to pay off the venue and it was pretty pricey. And not to mention I was the only paying for it at the time because Jesse had lost his job. I couldn’t blame him. We had numerous arguments about him not finding a job everyday. Arguments about not being able to afford my dream wedding; Arguing about money. It was driving me crazy. It was driving his crazy…
So the next day I have came up with a conclusion to all of this… I got enough cajones to go talk to Jesse about my proposal. I thought about it, prayed about it. And it just filled me with peace. It was done. Jesse and I were getting married in 8 weeks… The dress was a beautiful Oleg Cassini from David’s Bridal, his tux was a rental; the venue was my house’s backyard. And let me tell you I was super exited!!! Not so much about the backyard lol but after getting some feedback on some friends about decorating it. It was a done deal!
I think that when my brother said that to me he really opened my eyes. I didn’t want spend years saving up enough money to have my dream wedding. I have seen multiple couples that live with each other and after 3-5 yrs they are still hoping to have that dream wedding. Its sad to think that all they’re worry is the world is bringing enough money to the table for the dream wedding instead of being able to enjoy themselves. I didn’t want to be that couple. I wanted to move on with my life, enjoy being married and not having to worry about anything .I didn’t like arguing with my fiancé about money everyday. It nice to be home and only worry about the rent, bills to pay… so no I didn’t have the lavish wedding party I first wanted, I lost the deposit and I’m fine with it. I wouldn’t change anything. Maybe some people lol but other than that I am happy that I could move to a different chapter of my life; Marriage. And furnishing our apt. hehe……

Gas causing you a headache??
I found this to me a very interesting article on Honda . Apparently they have been making cars that use Natural gas instead of the Gas we are reportly paying over $5.00 per Gallon. By buying the well equipment Civic which roughtly runs upto $24,000.00 can save you a few dollars at the pump by only paying about $1.50-$2.00 which I must say is pretty impressive. And for the people like me that absolutely hate going to the Gas station (not only bc the old salesman that seems to follow your every move as if you were going to rob him or place the gas station on fire) but you can actually pump at home. YAY!
So i must say the New HOnda civic is a must. ANd since its not in high demand you might have to place in order ... so go place your ORDER NOW!

$$$ Weddings arent getting any Cheaper.....
How much is too much when it comes to wedding extravagances? The bar seems to rise every year—fueled in part by detailed coverage of lavish celebrity nuptials. Seventeen million people watched the 2004 wedding of Trista and Ryan, the couple from ABC's The Bachelorette. Trista wore $50,000 shoes encrusted with more than 200 diamonds. (No word on whether there were diamonds on the soles of her shoes.) This year, Mariah Carey out-jeweled Trista with a 17 carat diamond ring.
While not many people can afford double-digit carats on their hands, or their feet, some non-celebrity couples are giving the stars a run for their money. From having a dance choreographed to reflect the personality of the bride and groom, to spending $20,000 so that each guest can have their own tiny, tiered wedding cake, there doesn't seem to be a limit to what a creative Bridezilla (or Groomzilla) can order up. Here are nine of the wildest wedding extravagances of the season.
1. Dancing with the Wedding Stars. For anyone who's watched too much of the popular dance contest TV show, or thinks that a waltz just won't cut it for that first dance, there's an alternative. Hire a choreographer to create a dance designed to reflect your personality and that of your future spouse. And we're not talking about a slow dance with a few dips. The most requested choreographed dances are up-beat with high kicks, shimmies and shakes. "A lot of people take slow-dance classes, but that only creates an awkward first dance that's not about you," says Gabriella Barnstone, co-founder of MatriMony Mony, a New York City dance studio that has been creating wedding dances for the last five years. Barnstone says that in the last year, as word about the dances has spread, business has doubled. And while this is one of the few studios that specializes in wedding choreography, many dance studios will offer the service on request.
Barnstone and MatriMony Mony co-founder Emily Greenhill interview the bridal couple in a casual setting about their dislikes, how they met, and what their first song will be. They then use that information to create a dance. For example, Barnstone took note when Rachel Venokur and Christopher Clark, who were married June 1, told her that they loved the television show Will and Grace. The next thing the couple knew, they were channeling Karen's trademark hip and arm swings to the beat of their "first dance" song choice "You're My Best Friend," by Queen. (Good thing their favorite show wasn't ER.) The cost? For $1,500, the bride and groom get the choreography, one rehearsal, and a video of the session. Extra brush-up sessions are $500 an hour.
2. Bridesmaid Pre-Nuptial Agreement. Yes, you read that right. If having to squeeze into a puffy, unflattering horror of a dress wasn't bad enough, now bridesmaids have another indignity to contend with. Some brides are so worried about the way their wedding party will look, they have a lawyer draw up a pre-nup that can include things like requiring that a bridesmaid not gain more than 7 pounds before the wedding, not consume too much alcohol at the reception, vow to take extra care of her skin and hair, and not to make any inappropriate advances toward male guests at the reception. [For a peek at a sample agreement, go to the American Bar Association Website).
Although brides who've used pre-nups were reluctant to go on the record for this story, several of them explained that the agreements were necessary to ensure that their day was perfect.
People can have a contract for just about anything that's not illegal," says Randy Kessler, who teaches family law at John Marshall Law School in Atlanta. "This sort of document simply states that if the woman keeps the requests of the contract, she will be a bridesmaid. If not, she won't. It's not the craziest contract idea I've seen or heard of."
If worded correctly and signed by both members, the contract, which can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 to draw up, could be used in court. For example, Kessler says, if a woman flew all the way to Hawaii for a wedding and didn't end up being a bridesmaid because of a breach in her contract, and then she tried to sue the bride for the expenses of her flying to Hawaii, the contract could be used in court as proof that the bride had the right to take away the privilege of being a bridesmaid.
But Kessler cautions overzealous Bridezillas: "A wedding should be a happy time. And to be honest, getting lawyers involved always puts a damper on things."
3. A Justin and Mallory Martini? It would seem that a drink is a drink, but in the wedding wars, nothing is simple. Couples can hire a "mixologist" to create a cocktail that reflects their spirit and the theme of the wedding. "When we come in we can create an atmosphere that completes the puzzle," says Will Shine, co-director of Contemporary Cocktails in Manhattan. " We provide beautiful, garnished cocktails with a class style that match the couple and the style of the wedding."
4. Bar None. When an ice sculpture of a cherub or a flower basket doesn't seem cool enough, couples can order up an entire bar made of ice. Without drinks, the cost is usually between $700-$1,000, says Anja Winikka, editor of TheKnot.com.
5. Let Them Each Eat Cake. The latest rage is to give each wedding guest their own cake. For a tiny, but intricately decorated three-tier cake, the cost can be about $100 a person. The math is easy to do, but hard to swallow: 200 guests equals $20,000. A simpler version will cost you as little as $15 per cake, says Cheryl Kleinman of Cheryl Kleinman Cakes in Brooklyn, NY.
6. Power Flowers. A few vases and bouquets can seem skimpy to some couples. Now brides are having walls built of woven flowers as backdrops for the ceremony. If the florist uses expensive flowers like roses and orchids, the cost can rise to $50,000.
7. Double Dressing. Some brides don't just take off that detachable train for the reception, they change into another lavish gown. "More frequently than not brides are buying two dresses for their wedding," says Mara Urshel, owner of Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City. "The price of the larger dress can be more than the second dress, but many times they are about the same." The second dress is usually a sheath, short or tea-length gown or any A-line for the reception and dancing.
8. The Dog's Day. Couples are paying the big bucks to have their dog dressed in the latest wedding couture—and that means tuxes and tiny dresses. "I have clothing for all events for dogs, but by far the most people buy clothing for their dogs to go to or be in weddings," says Linda Beckemeyer founder of Doggie Clothesline last year. "Dog lovers consider their pets a part of the family, so it makes sense that they should look great for the big day, too," she says.
While Beckemeyer's off-the-rack dog outfits cost $40 or under, pet owners can order up custom-made canine formal wear. Using the extra yard of the fabric, some brides are having local tailors create a replica of a bridesmaid outfit or groomsman's suit. This option is about $500 or more.
9. Fetch! It'd be a shame if a dog in a custom-made tux didn't walk down the aisle too. And if Fido is the groom's best friend, why not let him be the ring bearer? It's the in thing. According to People magazine, when singer Ashlee Simpson married Pete Wentz in May, the groom's English bulldog, Hemingway, served as the ringbearer. Wentz's hound may have been a natural, but if you're thinking of giving your dog an official function, you'll probably need some help. And yes, there are dog trainers that specialize in weddings. Joe Orsino Jr. founded Wedding Dogs of Lower Burrell, Pennsylvania about four years ago after he included his own dogs in his wedding. "I started to realize that a lot of people wanted their dogs in their wedding, but weren't sure how to get their dogs ready for it. That's where I come in," he says. "A dog can easily be trained to pose for pictures, be a ring bearer or flower girl, or whatever the bride and groom wants the dog to do." The entire process, which usually takes about week, costs $1500 per dog and includes a video of the wedding.
Even for the less lavishly inclined bride and groom, getting married has a hefty price tag. The average cost of a wedding in the United States is more than $28,000, according to TheWeddingReport.com. And so far, wedding expenditures haven't suffered despite the country's economic troubles. "Nothing is recession proof, but weddings are recession resistant," says Marcy Blum, who's been a Manhattan wedding planner for more than 20 years. "People lately are definitely more conscious when they come to me, but in the final analysis they aren't spending less."
