Aquarium Wedding

This weekend my sister,  Laura will be getting married. She has chosen the location of her reception to be at the Adventure Aquarium. She decided she did not want the typical country club wedding and chose to do something a little different. 

The reception ballroom will be surrounded by a shark tank with large sharks swimming around. There will also be a large shark ice luge. 

I am looking forward to the wedding but I am also very nervous to give my maid of honor speech. I will update after this weekend with more pictures and details.

This is what the reception ballroom looks like..

Bachelorette Party

On President's Day weekend my sisters, her friends and I all ventured to the Poconos for my sister Laura's Bachelorette Weekend. A Bachelorette Party is a Girl's Night just to simply have fun with your girlfriends before you get married. The parties can vary from all different kinds and can take place almost anywhere. We chose to go to the Poconos because she is having a winter wedding and the Poconos was the easiest location for everyone to attend. 

We rented out a beautiful town home with an indoor hot tub included. It was the perfect place for a weekend away to relax and have fun. We made an agenda of all the activities we would be doing for the weekend. It included, dinner, wine glass decorating, tubing, Bachelorette scavenger hunt and much more. 

Below is a picture of me and my sister enjoying a day at Big Boulder..

And here is a picture of Laura at the bar, enjoying a good time with her friends ...

My 4 Sister's and My Wedding?

Promise Rings Can Mean Any of The Following: 

• I will be faithful

• I will return

• I will keep a specific promise

• I love you

• I have intentions to marry you

• I promise to be best friends

• I will always be there for you

• I will save myself for you

• I promise to stay away from a vice

• I promise to replace this ring with a larger stone when I can afford it

• I promise to follow a certain religion

• or it can even mean I promise to obtain a goal for myself.  

My boyfriend recently gave me a promise ring with the promise to remain committed to me and hopes of one day purchasing me an engagement ring.

The First Dance

The first dance as man and wife is one the most remembered dances of someones life. Some couples may be prepare many months in advanced and even take dance classes. Couples may even have a choreographed dance to their song.

My favorite part about the first dance at a wedding is the song that the couple chose to be theirs. It may be a song that they claimed as "their song" from the beginning of the two dating or just a song the two are always singing together. Either way the song can say a lot about their relationship.

A few of my top modern day first dance songs are listed below:

1)  All I Want is You- U2

2) Crash- Dave Matthews Band

3) Til Kingdom Come-Coldplay

4) True Companion-Marc Cohen

5) More than Anyone- Gavin Degraw

And my favorite is Mellow Mood by Slightly Stoopid :)

Some couples choose to do a funny dance after their slow song. As seen below in this YouTube clip.
