According to a tradition believed to have been derived from the Romans, the wedding ring is worn on the left hand ring finger because there was thought to be a vein in the finger, referred to as the 'Vena Amoris' or the 'Vein of Love' said to be directly connected to the heart.   The ring is an ancient symbol, so perfect and simple. It has no beginning and has no end. It is round like the sun, like the moon, like the eye, like arms that embrace. It is a circle; for love that is given comes back round again. Your rings are precious because you wear them with love. They symbolize your commitment in marriage. They remind you of who you are, where you’ve been, and where you’re going. As you wear them through time, they will reflect not only who you are as individuals, but also who you are a couple.     The wedding ring is an emblem and throughout time has symbolized love, devotion and even an agreement between families. The physical structure of the wedding ring has chang...

11 Important Things to K now when Planning an Outdoor Wed ding- Part 2 The Season Will Dictate Your Menu “We wouldn’t want to serve a hot soup or a bunch of heavy items in the middle of summer,” says Kelly Mahanes of Harvest Moon Catering in Charlottesville, Va. She’s right — just think about how uncomfortable everyone would get eating that outside. Mahanes also doesn’t recommend doing an outdoor cheese display in the middle of July, for understandable sun- and heat-related reasons. Work with your caterer to plan a seasonal menu, she advises: “If you choose items that you might find in a backyard garden that time of year, you can't go wrong!”           A Rustic, Woodsy Wedding Could Cost You You know those gorgeous, rustic weddings you see on Pinterest? The ones that seem to be in the middle of a field or forest? And boast long, barn-style tables under a canopy of twinkle lights? While beautiful, a setup like that is not always practical — after ...

An outdoor wedding is trickier to plan than an indoor affair — and the weather isn't the only factor you'll need to keep in mind. Celebrating outside will significantly affect logistics, the day's timeline and (most importantly!)your catering. Remember these important considerations to help things go as smoothly as possible. Your Caterer Is Not Your Wedding Planner Sure, your caterer will be crucial to planning logistics, ordering rentals and much more, but even the most-organized caterer won’t completely step into the role of wedding planner. “Many couples think the caterer does it all, and that’s not usually the case,” says Michael Prete of Portsmouth Catering in New Hampshire. While some caterers might take a lead role in planning your day, they might not help with tasks like handling non-food vendors, coordinating the day’s timeline, decorating the tables — or (a biggie for outdoor weddings!) creating a full-scale plan B if rain forces you inside. Outdoor events come ...
