Q. I had my civil wedding ceremony almost 10 years ago. This summer after my husband gets back from deployment, were having our religious wedding ceremony. I can't wait to wear my new wedding dress. So how long after your civil wedding did you have your religious wedding?
A. some people are just so unromantic
call it a wedding,call it a vow renewal,it doesnt really matter - the intent is the same
im having a destination wedding and when we get back we may have a blessing of some kind followed by a reception (its just a big party,whatever you call it!),this will be within a year of the actual wedding ceremony and its going to be a show with our photos on display and our wedding video shown as well
lots of couples are now opting for a second wedding on a special anniversary,so i think close to your 10th wedding anniversary would be brilliant - a lot of the time an eternity ring can be given at this time,or other piece of jewellery if so desired (or if an eternity ring has been given).while not leaglly recognised,some churches will issue a vow renewal certificate
i read a story about a couple who re-affirm their vows every couple of years - they say it makes them realise how much they have and remind them not to take each other for granted
wishing you all the best and congratulations on your upcoming service :)

How much wedding planning did your fiance help you with?
Q. My fiance and I are having a DIY wedding. I doing most of all of the DIY projects since I'm the one who is super crafty. My fiance has helped me designing the seating chart and save-the-date card wording. He has also made a song for our wedding. We both registered for our gifts together. We've picked out songs for our wedding. How much planning did your fiance help you with? I want to give him more projects to do.
A. When it came to the wedding planning, he was involved with 100% of it at all times, even more than I was. He got the flowers sorted, we both did the music, he did his tuxes, he picked out most of the menu, we did the cake deciding, he did most of the decoration deciding, he found the invitations, my mother and I found the tables, we chose the location together, I chose my dress, he found the bridesmaids dresses (you read that right, HE found them, LOL), he found the wedding rings, we registered for gifts, and we both decided on the date.
It's not that I wasn't interested or wasn't helpful. He's way more organized than I am and enjoys planning things out like this. I'm not so good at it, but everything that he decided on, you bet we talked about it first. He just happened to have the discipline and took the time to find it, LOL.

do have a catholic wedding do you have to get married in a church?
Q. I'm planning my friends wedding and her cousin is a priest who they'd like to have conduct the vows.
They want a catholic wedding, one honored by the church, but they want to have a outdoor wedding as well. As Catholic's are we allowed to be wed outside the church or does it need to be in a church in order to have your wedding blessed by the church?

A. In order for it to be a Catholic wedding and seen as a marriage by the Catholic church, you must be married in a Catholic church. Because of the strong stance the Catholic church has on weddings, your friend's cousin will not be able to perform the ceremony or even appear there as a priest unless it is in a church.
I had some very dear friends of mine be excommunicated for "living in sin" because their marriage wasn't performed in a church. They had it in a nondenominational chapel of a location that meant a great deal to them. It didn't make any difference to the church. They were still considered to not be married.
Your friend needs to decide what is more important, an outdoor wedding, or a Catholic wedding.
Good luck.

How did your wedding cake taste on your first anniversary?
Q. For those who saved some wedding cake for your first anniversary, how did it taste? Freezer burn? So awful you had to throw it away? Almost as good as at the wedding? Just as good as at the wedding?
My husband and I decided not to save any as my husband didn't like the idea of eating year-old cake. And that didn't sound very appealing to me either.

A. ACK!!!!!!!!
With my first wedding/marriage I unwrapped the cake and took one whiff of freezer burn..and trashed it lol.
With my second wedding/marriage...well I am a retired professional baker and our cake was a carrot cake with cream cheese icing- a fav of ours and ALL our guests....I had the entire cake served.....not a piece was left.
Then for our anniversaries I make a small replica of our original cake...so fresh and tasty...and labor of love on my part.
Cake rarely makes it past 4-6 months in the freezer and many icings/fillings can NOT be frozen without a disastrous result..one year? No thank you. As a former baker I am very picky....taste is all important to me, along with presentation.
BTW, grocery stores like Walmart, Kroger's, etc who have bakeries and offer sheet cakes, etc do NOT bake their own cake or make their own icings...they come in frozen and are stored in their deep freezer until needed, then thawed and assembled...I did a stint in such a bakery ( I made their scratch bread, donuts, bagels,rolls, etc but the cake and some icings were frozen and shipped in) we NEVER kept or used cake that had been in the freezer longer than 6 months.
