</div><div style="text-align: center;">Every wedding I have attended the bride is considered the center piece of the wedding. Everyone wants to see what the bride is wearing, and what colors were chosen.<br />
Wedding are like fairy tales...there is an unknown expectation of the BRIDE!</div><div style="text-align: center;">However, the big finale is the Wedding Cake...usually again everyone is concern how it looks.<br />
How many tiers is the cake?<br />
Is the cake professional constructed or some amateur prepared the cake? </div><div style="text-align: center;">Believe me I have seen some tremble prepared wedding cakes, and a wedding is not place for amateurs.<br />
Another great attraction is the Wedding Cake Topper; traditionally it use to be a Bride and Groom standing in the typical way as a Bride and Groom. </div><div style="text-align: center;">As time moves forward even the Wedding Cake Toppers have changed. <br />

As some may say the "honeymoon is over." During the first year of marriage the couple has experience what they like or dislike about their spouse. There were probably many arguments, disagreements, and many compromises. Now, the couple can say they survived the first round of marriage. <br />

Just remember not to forget the anniversay date or gift.

This famous song has been played at every wedding. Perhap, some people did not know the words to the whole song, and the lyics were difficult to find. <br />
<br />
Many brides waltz down the isle to the above tune in their traditional white wedding gown, to wed their handsome groom. Due to earlier taboos, it would have been a disgrace for a bride to strut down the isle in any other colors. But times have changed and so have the the traditional white color of wedding gowns.<br />
<br />
Now, the white wedding gowns are still the most selected gown to wear for a wedding. But some brides have a different color in mind for their wedding. Whatever the brides <span style="background-color: white;">color choice</span><span style="background-color: white;">, please make sure it is decent and in order. A wedding is a very special day, so make it special.</span><br />

Individual couples seem to get cold feet when the marriage question is asked. Mentally they think they are ready to make a committement, and it's usually when they see other married couples. They see how happy they seem, and how cozy they look together. It makes the couple want to get married, but the yellow light starts blinking in their mind. Caution! Caution! Caution! Then they start second guessing the thought of marriage, maybe their parents marriage was dyfunctional, divorce, separation, and possibly abusive. In a quick second their ready to say NO to the question of marriage.<br />
<br />
And then red signal light occurs...<span style="color: red;"><em><strong>STOP</strong></em></span>! The thought of sharing the same quarters, money, and material items comes into question. Perhaps some of those signals could be; no longer having independent freedom, to think,or to make their own decisions. They could be thinking about learning how to compromise; because when a person is single, they usually do not have to ask or answer to anyone. Then there is learning how to deal with someone elses habits; maybe they are a slob, neat freak, demanding or all of the above. This is lot to think about in the short time to give a Yes or NO answer.<br />
<br />
The mental mind can play some conning tricks on individuals deciding to get married. But when the married couple-to-be, looks into each other eyes they sense comfort, love, and security. Depending on how long they have known each other, they should sense they compliment each other. Most likey they know marriage can be scary and challenging. Embarking upon marriage can be an eye opening experience, but there are many marriages that have survived.<br />
<br />
The most important role in marriage is to be honest, communicate, compromise, and learn to trust each other. And by the end of the hard thought decision, the married couple-to-be choice will be a YES! All lights get a green light and it's a GO!<br />
<br />
Marriage is a major decision that an individual will have to make some day. There will be signals that may say the person considered in marriage is not the right person. Yes, some individuals walk down the isle with a person, and live to regret the moment. Then some individuals ignore all signals flashing red. But deep in their heart love comes through.<br />
