What to eat before and during my wedding day?

Q. Just last week I believe, I read an article on yahoo about the best foods to eat the day before and during your wedding day. Can anyone answer that or link me to the article?

A. I found this:

and this:

If you were a woman, I'd suggest that you might be too busy to eat - or too nervous.

Whether you are the groom or the bride, I advise that for the preceding week, keep your meals light and REGULAR, but with protein levels a little higher than usual - you will need the energy. Don't forget your carbs and veggies (try V8 -I like Hot n Spicy, myself - if the idea of green beans doesn't sound appetizing.).

Keep soda crackers nearby on the day of the wedding. Don't forget to get enough water, even if you feel like visiting the restroom every two minutes before walking down the aisle.

I know the week before the big event will likely be stressful, but try to keep alcohol consumption to a minimum - no more than two drinks the night before. You'll thank yourself on your wedding day.

Hope this helps! Good luck and congrats.

What kind of a coin should I buy my fiance for our wedding day?
Q. I would love to buy my fiance a coin for our wedding day as a gift to him. He loves coins and collecting them. What kind of a coin should I buy my fiance that is meaningful?
My fiance and I are exchanging gifts to each other on our wedding day. It's something we both want to do. For us, we want to do something so personal for each other. He loves coins, so I want to get him one! :)

A. Well, coins can vary greatly in price, so you need to determine a budget. You also need to inquire (or just take a quick peek if you want to keep it a surprise) at what's already in his collection. If you can afford it, a nice gold or silver coin might be nice as a little "investment" in your future. Even a small platinum coin (like 1/10oz) would probably be something he wouldn't expect, and chances are, something he definately doesn't have (plus wouldn't be too expensive). Precious metal coins are minted yearly, so it might be nice to give him something of high quality, minted in the year you got married.

If he only collects really old or rare coins, you'll just have to see what he doesn't have, or look for one he's really been wanting. There are tons of coin dealers out there, probably even a few where you live, so you just have to do a little research to find a good source (and a knowledgable coin dealer can help you select one or help find one he's been wanting).

My one last thought is a specific coin called a "sixpence". You know the old "traditions" of something old, something new, something borrowed something blue and a SIXPENCE in her shoe? Perhaps after the wedding (and after you've washed it lol) you could gift him with your little "good luck charm" from your wedding day. Sixpences are easy to find, cheap, and although not terribly collectable, there would certainly be a sentimental value to him, as it was part of your wedding day. My husband isn't a serious coin collector, but he does like them (and has a small collection). I gave him the sixpence I wore in my shoe after our wedding, since I didn't know what else to do with it, and he really seemed to appreciate it. Just a thought there.

Can my wedding day be declared a public holiday?
Q. I am not a royal but, like them, I do have some shady ancestors. How can I get my wedding day declared a public holiday? Can I get the public to foot part of the bill?

A. Your wedding day can take place on a public holiday such as Labor Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, New Year's Day and there are a few others. Everyone will be celebrating and you can pretend it is for your wedding day. As for the cost, if the wedding takes place in prison, the public will be paying for the ceremony only. Good luck!

What extra steps should I take to make my hair look gorgeous for my wedding day?
Q. My wedding day is 10 days away. My hair is in good condition now. My hair is brunette and pretty straight. It is also long. Anything I can do to make it glossy and beautiful? Thanks!
What type of mask? Where did you get it? Thanks:-)

A. use a shine serum. john freida has some great shine products for hair. also maybe do a hot oil or deep conditioning treatment for some extra healthy bounce in your hair.

here's some products that i think would be great. heres the links:

or if you dont want to use this try another glosser like:

(a small amount goes a long way)

hot oil treatments:

deep conditioners:

also try getting your hair trimmed a few days before the wedding, to get any dead ends off.

hope this helps.
