What happens in Las Vegas, Stays in Las Vegas

The same is true for Cher, and her performance at the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Cher fans who are about to get hitched can combine the wedding, honeymoon and wedding gift all in one easy step: get married in Vegas, and give each other tickets to the Cher show. Hockey? Maybe… but weddings can be. Memorable? For Cher fans, Definitely!

Cher is replacing Celine Dion’s show. Essentially you have to hurry to get Cher Tickets at Caesars Palace, if you are fan enough to attend, because the show will only run for about a month, starting on May 6th.

Some info on Cher: She was born as “Cherilyn Sarkisian” on May 20, 1946, and on Feb 7th 2008, at age 61, she announced she would perform 200 shows over three years at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. This new show, titled “Cher at the Colosseum” includes 18 dancers, 4 aerialists, and multiple costumes designed by Bob Mackie. Choreography will be directed by Doriana Sanchez who also worked with Cher on her past three major tours. After the month of four shows a week, it will continue in August again. Cher will share the stage on a rotating basis with contemporaries Bette Midler (whose The Showgirl Must Go On opened on February 20, 2008) and Elton John (whose The Red Piano, which opened in 2004, will continues its run of about 50 shows a year).

Couples who have not lived together before getting married, and who did not ask the right questions before saying “I do”, could be in for some rude surprises. Sometimes, couples make assumptions about the roles each partner plays in the marriage, without discussing these assumptions before getting married.

It is crucial to sit down and spend some time with your partner Identifying Roles in Relationships, and what they mean to you. Otherwise, you may end up with a wife who hates to cook, while you expect dinner on the table at seven every night.

Even before getting engaged, couples should discuss what they expect from marriage.

What do you expect from your future spouse?
Discuss what your expectations are from your spouse in terms of house work, paying bills (who pays what and how much), joint vs. separate bank accounts and investments. Who cooks, who cleans, and when. Are there other expectations if there are children? Some women may not want to stay home with the kids, while some men believe that would be best for the family.

Discussing these marital issues in advance, before tying the knot, will help you get over and iron out any problems that could come up in your marriage. If your ideas are radically different, you can start trying to compromise before you are facing the problem head on.

Why it helps
Discussing potential problems before marriage you are talking about the issues before they come up. Thus, you are discussing marital problems in a relaxed and non-stressful atmosphere where there is no urgency to resolve the problem. If you do not do this, and meet the problem head on as it arises, the stress of the actual problem can further strain the marriage because you are dealing with a time constraint to come to a resolution for the marital problem.

Surfing the net for sexy gadgets I came across some freakish things; this doesn’t really qualify as a gizmo, but it’s interesting nonetheless:

Imagine someone finally popped the question, you are planning your wedding and running around town looking for the perfect dress you will only wear once. After trying on pounds of poofy silk and still not having found “the one”, you could give this a shot:

A purple wedding dress made of….. 12.500 condoms! Just enough for the wedding night.

When taking a break from dress shopping, look into unique wedding gifts for your wedding shower or reception. Just because you want a unique gift for your guests, or decorations for the venue, does not mean you have to resort to condoms, unique wedding gifts are easier to find that you think and can really be anything that is customized or has some special meaning to you and your family.

If you’re still looking for decorations, here is an interesting chandelier: made from penis-pumps… I suppose you may need once you’re half way through the wedding gown, which at that point should look lovely as a cocktail dress.

That’s my quirky input for the day… it’s nice to see some people can approach weddings from a humorous perspective!

In cases when the bride and groom are issuing the invitation to a wedding, the names of both sets of parents are simply not included on the invitation.

The reason that they are there in traditional invitations is twofold: for Christian weddings, the bride’s parents are traditionally the hosts of the wedding, a custom which comes from the old tradition of giving their daughter into the care of her husband. In the Jewish tradition, both the parents of the bride and the parents of the groom are included in the invitation as they each take part in the ceremony.

If you feel very strongly that both your parents and the groom’s parents should be included on the invitation, then I would suggest that you go with a derivative of the traditional Jewish invitation wording.

This issue comes up a lot, as it is often assumed that the people listed on the invitation are the ones who are paying for the wedding. This is not necessarily true.

The bride’s parents or parent, usually issue the wedding invitations. (The exception is Jewish weddings, for which both the bride’s and groom’s parents issue the invitation.) In the Christian tradition, the groom’s parents are not included on the wedding invitation. If the bride and groom issue the invitation themselves, it is generally assumed by the guests that the parents are not hosting the event.

The items in parenthesis are optional, depending upon your situation. If your wedding is to take place in a house of worship, the second line should read “honor of your presence” or “honor of your presence.” (Both are correct; just remember to carry the British spelling throughout the invitation suite if you choose “honor,” i.e. “The favor of a reply…”.) If the ceremony is to be held outside a house of worship, then “pleasure of your company” is the correct wording.

For the time line, if your wedding is at a time which may be confusing (9 o’clock, for example, could either be a morning or an evening wedding), then you may add the time and day of designation.

If there is more than one location in the city in which you are to be married with the same name (two churches with similar names, like St. Anthony and St. Anthony of Padua, or two Orchard Country Clubs, for example), then it is important to provide a street address to eliminate the possibility of guests arriving at the wrong location.

There’s a common misconception that the people listed on the wedding invitation are the ones paying for the event. However, according to etiquette the bride’s parents, if they are alive, always issue the invitation to the wedding. That said, if you and your fiance issue the invitation yourselves, it will probably be assumed by your guests that you are paying for the wedding.
If you feel very strongly that your parents should be listed as the hosts of the reception, then that information, again, according to strict etiquette, should appear on a separate reception card.

Since your wording is far from traditional, following the strict etiquette prescribed for wedding invitations seems rather pointless, however. Given the less formal tone that you’ve chosen, the wording you have indicated seems perfectly fine.

Your best friend is getting married and you are the maid (matron) of honor. What an honor that is! The only problem is that you are not sure how to plan the bachelorette party. Listed are a few games that are guaranteed fun! Please start the bachelorette party at home so your guests feel more comfortable and can get acquainted. If you decide to take the party out on the town later, you can reflect back on the fun activities from earlier in the evening!

Guess The Nuts

1 sturdy wooden hanger,

1 small salami or pepperoni,

1 pair men’s cotton y-front underwear,

large safety pins,

whole walnuts,

needle and thread

Sew the leg holes and y-front of the underwear closed. Pin them on the wooden hanger using the safety pins. Fill the underwear with the walnuts making sure to count how many you put in. Place a small salami or pepperoni down the front of the underwear. When the guests arrive have them guess how many nuts are in the underwear. Encourage the players to feel the nuts! Leave the nut filled underwear hanging up for the remainder of the party, as it makes a great party decoration! The closest guess below the actual number, wins! The sausage and walnuts can be eaten at a later date!

`

1 posterboard,

multi colored construction paper, scissors, clear tape, markers,
1 blindfold,

1 enlarged picture of the grooms head

On the posterboard, draw a picture of a sexy man’s body from the thigh area up to and including his neck, but leave out his male member. Tape the picture of the grooms head onto the neck. Try to make this proportional, but if it’s not, sometimes it’s even more funny! Tape the poster to the wall at waist level.

Hand each player a piece of construction paper and have her cut out a shape of a male member. Make sure she writes her name on the back. Blindfold the first player. Fold down the square end of her playing piece and attach a loop of tape to it.Put the other end in her mouth. Spin her around 3 times and have her get on her knees to crawl over to the poster. Have her press her mouth up against the poster until her playing piece sticks. She must not use her hands to feel the poster. The player who is closest to being anatomically correct, wins! This is the big girl version of Pin the Tail on the Donkey! Wear the game pieces as name tags later in the evening.

Cucumber Race

1 cucumber per player,

1 maraschino cherry per player,

2 cans whipped cream

Divide the players into 2 equal teams. Choose one person from each team to be a captain. Seat the two captains across the room with one cherry per player and a can of the whipped cream. Have the rest of the team line up on the other end of the room and give one cucumber to each player. To begin, the first players in each line place their cucumbers between their thighs so the cucumber is horizontal to the floor. Have the players race down to their captain. The captain places some whipped cream on the end of the cucumber and places the cherry in the whipped cream. The player races back to the starting line, balancing the cherry on the cucumber. Then it is the next players turn. Continue until each player has a turn. The first team finished, wins! If a player drops her cucumber or her cherry falls off, she must start over. This game promotes team spirit!

These games are so much fun and are a great way to get the party started in the right direction!
