What Makes a Great Wedding Picture?

Smile for me Baby!

When shopping around for a great wedding photographer it is imperative that you ask to see more of their work than what is available on their web site. In addition, we suggest that you ask these important questions.

• Will you personally be taking my wedding photos?
• Will you be bringing an assistant?
• Can my family take photos at the same time as you?
• How much do you charge for overtime?
• What will you (and assistant) wear on my wedding day?
• Do you bring back-up equipment?
• How long after the wedding will it take to receive my proofs and album?

A FRESH IDEA: In addition to securing a great photographer for your wedding day we suggest picking up the camera yourself (if time allows) and taking a picture or two of your life long partner. Taking your own images are great fun and you may possibly capture some adorable moments.

The 411 on Champagne Flutes

Tall Tulip Shaped Flute

Ever wonder why the Champagne flute is shaped the way it is? Experts say that the small mouth of the glass slows the bubbles. Combine it with the tall shape and you have a perfect glass to preserve the bubbliness from the most expensive Champagnes available. This shape glass also helps to keep the Champagne chilled longer and preserves it's freshness, unlike the bowl shaped flutes.

The best way to chill your Champagne is in an ice bucket and don't forget to tilt the glass while pouring it to prevent building up foam and pour slowly to eliminate any bubbles from escaping. This will allow you to fully enjoy the flavor of your fine beverage.

If you're looking to purchase Champagne flutes for your wedding toast FCW suggests that you check out these amazing brands.

What Makes a Marriage Last?

Marriage Will Last a Lifetime!

A little research would tell you that marriages that last a lifetime are at an all time low. Several reports, reviews and opinions on the sensitive subject of making marriage work are indifferent so we make no guarantees on how long your marriage will last  However, we would like to suggest that these ten things would make a significant difference on the overall health, happiness and length of your marriage... should you take them to heart.

1. Time
2. Patience
3. Honesty
4. Love
5. Forgiveness
6. Commitment to Marriage
7. Loyalty
8. Respect
9. Communication
10. Partnership

And when times get hard, remember the love that you once shared together and please try and make an effort to celebrate your commitment together as often as you can. Telling each other that you love them every single day, how much you admire them, or how special they made you feel by doing something for you is a few of many ways you can keep the love alive. We also encourage you to remember that you are in it for better and for worse. The love you have for each other must be strong enough to endure all obstacles, and with a little luck, it can.
