As always, click on the image to take you to the site I found the image (I take great care to attempt to find the original home of the image - google image search has become my hero), but sometimes it is impossible to find.<br />
<br />
Make sure to pop over to <a href="http://pinterest.com/weddimension/wedding-rainbow/" target="_blank">Pinterest </a>to see some more images!<br />

Happy planning!<br />

Those 8 months of excitement, nervous energy and expectation followed 10 years of thinking about the day and dreaming about what it would be like. Then, in a blink of an eye, it was over. And I felt like ‘what now?’. I felt sad that it was over and had a sense of emptiness about what the future could hold for me. That said I am a bit of a drama queen (also bipolar…..) so I thought I was just being full of sh*t and I should just get over myself!</p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal">But it seems like I am not the only one (isn’t it nice when there are other sods just like you out there :-) )</p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal">It is estimated that 1 in 10 new spouses suffer to some extent from post wedding depression. It can range from a mild sense of sadness to feelings of remorse, loneliness, a sense that life after the wedding is mundane and meaningless and severe depression. These feelings can continue for months or just a week or two. <span> </span></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal">We spend so much time preparing for our ‘big’ day, that very special day in our lives that we tend to forget that there is life after the wedding day. The fact of the matter is that your wedding day is the day that signifies the start of a new relationship, a new family unit and a new life path together. But we tend to see the day as a marker of the end of an era, end of loneliness, end of singledom, the end of being Miss So-and-So.</p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal">If you are not married yet, make sure you allow yourself some time during the wedding planning stages to consider life after the wedding day. Make sure you will have something else to occupy your mind with (writing thank you notes does not count ;-) !!)</p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal">If you are not sure whether what you are feeling is post wedding blues, go to <a href="http://quiz.ivillage.com/love/tests/postwedding.htm">http://quiz.ivillage.com/love/tests/postwedding.htm</a> and do the quiz.</p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal">If you are suffering from post nuptial depression and need some advise, maybe one of the following sites can give you some more information:</p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/relationships/couples/life_postwedding.shtml">http://www.bbc.co.uk/relationships/couples/life_postwedding.shtml</a></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://newlyweds.about.com/od/afterthewedding/tp/Kick-the-Post-Wedding-Blues.htm">http://newlyweds.about.com/od/afterthewedding/tp/Kick-the-Post-Wedding-Blues.htm</a></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.weddingpath.co.uk/wedding-blues">http://www.weddingpath.co.uk/wedding-blues</a></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.weddingguideuk.com/articles/features/postweddingblues.asp">http://www.weddingguideuk.com/articles/features/postweddingblues.asp</a></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/248925/what_are_some_signs_of_post_wedding.html">http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/248925/what_are_some_signs_of_post_wedding.html</a></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/81292/post_wedding_depression_transitioning.html?cat=23">http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/81292/post_wedding_depression_transitioning.html?cat=23</a></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal">And as always, please comment if you have a story to share?</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11437489711510831131noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492601735882007416.post-48250704978072190502008-11-25T17:58:00.000-08:002013-01-13T13:51:14.632-08:00Life after wedding planningHi all!!!!<br/><br/>I know, I know....

We stayed in a 150 year old house at our venue (<a href="http://www.thecradle.co.za" target="_blank">The Cradle</a>) and I got ready there on the stoep.<br/><br/>[caption id="attachment_258" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Jeroen getting ready"]<a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbjeroen1015.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-258" title="Jeroen getting ready" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbjeroen1015.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="693" /></a>[/caption]<br/><br/>[caption id="attachment_259" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Jeroen & John in the veld"]<a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbjeroen10442.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-259" title="Jeroen & John in the veld" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbjeroen10442.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="693" /></a>[/caption]<br/><br/>Jeroen left at about 12 to go get ready with the guys at the log chalets and all the poviders arrived on time!<br/><br/>My mom did my hair, and we had a very relaxed make-up and photo session. <a href="http://andreac1.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Andrea</a>, the most fab photographer in the world, loved the setting and got my inner model to appear!!!!<br/><br/>[caption id="attachment_257" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Juanita, my make-up artist, beginning the transformation!"]<a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcindy10402.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-257" title="Juanita, my make-up artist, beginning the transformation!" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcindy10402.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="360" /></a>[/caption]<br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcindy11001.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-260 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcindy11001.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="693" /></a></p><br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcindy11061.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-261 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcindy11061.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="693" /></a></p><br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcindy11441.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-262 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcindy11441.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="360" /></a></p><br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcindy12871.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-263 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcindy12871.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="693" /></a></p><br/><br/><br/>[caption id="attachment_264" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="My favourite picture of me!!!"]<a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcindy13082.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-264" title="My favourite picture of me!!!" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcindy13082.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="360" /></a>[/caption]<br/><br/>I left for the ceremony at 15:15 (didn't want to be a moment late) but when I got there at 15:28 was told the minister hasn't pitched yet.... one moment of panic then he arrived!!!<br/><br/>[caption id="attachment_249" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="My Daddy walking me to the ceremony"]<a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbceremony10351.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-249" title="My Daddy walking me to the ceremony" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbceremony10351.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="693" /></a>[/caption]<br/><br/>[caption id="attachment_247" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Jeroen's first look at his bride"]<a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbceremony1090.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-247" title="Jeroen's first look at his bride" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbceremony1090.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="693" /></a>[/caption]<br/><br/>[caption id="attachment_250" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Our ceremony in the dust"]<a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbceremony1113.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-250" title="Our ceremony in the dust" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbceremony1113.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="693" /></a>[/caption]<br/><br/>I walked down the aisle on my hessian runner at 15:32!!! One of the most special moments of the day was having a minute before walking in to just hug my daddy... (some of you know he was diagnosed with cancer last year August and we didn't know whether he will still be with us......).<br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/ceremony1100.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-251 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/ceremony1100.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="361" /></a></p><br/><br/>I walked in to the <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:acfixxyjldhe" target="_blank">Feather Theme from Forrest Gump</a>!

The cermony was under the trees in the dust (I know it sounds horrid but was soooo beautiful!). We had wooden benches set out in semi circles and Jeroen and I got married in the middle with all our guests arround us.<br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbceremony1011.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-253 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbceremony1011.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="693" /></a></p><br/><br/>U2's "Beautiful Day" played while we were confettied!!!<br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbceremony1290.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-254 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbceremony1290.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="360" /></a></p><br/><br/>We had a cheese 'cake' which we cut directly after the ceremony and it was 1 of the biggest hits of the wedding!!!

They all said that they didn't feel abandoned as they have felt at previous weddings when the couple goes for their photos (could also be because we fed them cheese and the wine flowed!!! LOL!!).<br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcreatives1147.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-268 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcreatives1147.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="360" /></a></p><br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcreatives1183.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-269 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcreatives1183.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="693" /></a></p><br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcreatives1209.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-270 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcreatives1209.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="693" /></a></p><br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcreatives1217.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-271 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcreatives1217.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="360" /></a></p><br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcreatives1090.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-272 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbcreatives1090.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="693" /></a></p><br/><br/>We made our entrance at the reception to Barry White's "you're my first, my last, my everthing'.<br/><br/>[caption id="attachment_273" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Our entrance at the reception"]<a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbreception1003.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-273" title="Our entrance at the reception" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbreception1003.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="360" /></a>[/caption]<br/><br/>It was a fun entrance because he talks a bit in the beginning of the song and the song builds up in momentum and everyone was waiting in anticipation for our entrance!<br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbreception1005.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-274 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbreception1005.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="360" /></a></p><br/><br/>The evening went soooooooooo quickly! Jeroen made a beautiful speech and then I did my speech (and gals, I didn't cry - which is such an achievement for me!!!) and then Jeroen & I toasted our parents together.<br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbreception1037.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-275 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbreception1037.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="693" /></a></p><br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbreception1041.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-276 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbreception1041.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="693" /></a></p><br/><br/>They brought out a birthday cake for me and Jeroen got the DJ to play 50cents' "It's your birthday'!!! Had sparklers and candles the works!!!<br/><br/>After dinner the MC got everyone to stand and then asked all the unmarried people to sit. Then those married for less than 5 hours had to sit (I didn't want to!!!), then all those married less than 5 years etc until only one couple remained standing (Jeroens parents) - married for 43 years!!! I then handed my bouquet over to them! Was so special!!!<br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbreception1059.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-277 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fbreception1059.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="693" /></a></p><br/><br/>Our first dance was to The parlotones' "I'll be there" and was THE MOST MAGICAL MOMENT!!!

The day went sooo quickly that we did not take much of the details in so we can't wait for the video!! Gavin is also very professional and he has worked with Andrea before, which meant they didn't get in each other way.<br/><br/>Make-up - Juanita - <a href="http://www.in2art.co.za/" target="_BLANK">http://www.in2art.co.za</a>/<br/>She was soooo sweet, on time, professional and a darling on the day!!

I have been to a few weddings where I got a candle with the happy couple's faces pasted on that ended up in a box in my cupboard.<br/><br/>I mean, be honest, are you really going to use a candle in your home with someone else's face on? Or drink from a champagne glass sandblasted with someone else's wedding date? Now don't get upset if this was your idea, whatever floats your boat!!! It is just my personal opinion!!!<br/><br/><a href="www.maumbachelcandle.com/wedding_specialty.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-214" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/pic-wedding-front.jpg?w=179" alt="" width="81" height="137" /></a> <a href="http://www.customdesignedcandles.com/Wedding%20Candles.htm" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-215" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/project1.gif?w=300" alt="" width="225" height="142" /></a> <a href="http://www.customglassware.com/printed_glasses_1129.htm" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-216" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/1129_blueflute.jpg?w=96" alt="" width="45" height="141" /></a><br/><br/><a name='more'></a><br/><br/>Anyhoooooo, I want to give our guests something they WILL use and not throw away or put in a box for dust collection. So I have thought that something edible will maybe be a good idea. J & I are both known coffee-holics and I have toyed with the idea of getting a special blend made for us and presenting our guests with fresh coffee grounds and biscotti to enjoy the following morning. Now, I know there is no guarantee that it won't end up in the dustbin, but at least they won't throw it in a box (they won't want to invite those nasty ants, roaches etc into their cupboards that easily!!!).<br/><br/>There are loads of edible favors available on the web. Here are some ideas:<br/><br/><a href="http://www.beau-coup.com/teaandsweets-page2.htm" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-218" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/americanbridal_2005_461733475.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="124" height="124" /></a> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-219" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/gold_foiled_jordan_almonds_150.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="121" height="121" /> <a href="http://www.myweddingfavors.com/edible-favors.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-220" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/faroll-beach-s.jpg?w=180" alt="" width="152" height="122" /></a><br/><br/><a href="http://www.myweddingfavors.com/edible-favors.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-222" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/dsc_6795-s.jpg?w=180" alt="" width="139" height="111" /></a> <a href="http://www.myweddingfavors.com/edible-favors.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-223" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/ch0034-s.jpg?w=180" alt="" width="139" height="110" /></a> <a href="http://www.americanbridal.com/candyfood.html?page=2&sf=&sd=a#sortblock" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-224" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/americanbridal_2005_462018523.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="116" height="116" /></a><br/><br/><a href="http://www.beau-coup.com/teaandsweets.htm" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-225" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/love-is-brewing-sepia-150.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="117" height="117" /></a> <a href="http://www.myweddingfavors.com/edible-favors.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-226" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/dd2020100-s.jpg?w=180" alt="" width="148" height="119" /></a> <a href="http://www.myweddingfavors.com/edible-favors.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-227" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/ddwt0109-s.jpg?w=180" alt="" width="138" height="110" /></a><br/><br/>Alternatively, you could always make a donation toward your favourite charity or institution on behalf of your guests. This will make most of them smile! And your local SPCA or childwelfare organisation (or whatever cause is near to your heart) will surely appreciate it even more :-)<br/><br/>What are you giving as favors? Why not share your idea with the rest of our readers!!!

centrepiecesOh, I have been so bad.... I haven't written anything here for sooo long.... But I am back and I would like to share my ideas for our centrepieces!<br/><br/>The price of flowers (that will just DIE ...) has boggled my mind so I have decided to explore some other options. Our colours are Chocolate Brown and Cream and we are going for a very earthy, autumnish feel for the wedding so I thought these stones in bowls will work wonderfully! I am considering putting candles in the bowls rather than the plant... (I saw this pic on another wonderful bridal blog, <a href="http://abrideinthemaking.blogspot.com/search/label/registry" target="_blank">A bride in the making</a>...)<br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/cb3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-144 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/cb3.jpg?w=225" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p><br/><p style="text-align:left;"></p><br/><p style="text-align:left;">I have bought the bowls I am going to use already (R9-99 each!!!) and have also bought the stones. I still need to buy candles and buy the fabirc for the table runners (which will be a creamy organza). My family has collected every fallen autumn leaf they could get their hands on!!! I will scatter them on the tables between the bowls. I am getting very excited now!</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11437489711510831131noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492601735882007416.post-42224917409004243622008-05-08T18:15:00.000-07:002013-01-13T13:51:14.629-08:00Black & White Weddings<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.victoriabrookes.co.uk/Maureen%20Myring%20Kesterton.htm" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-119" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/maureenmk4july.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="228" /></a></p><br/><br/>I am seeing more and more brides who are incorporating black into their colour schemes. It would seem like black is not synonomous with sadness/grieving/death anymore, and it is now acceptable to see bridesmaids dressed in black or even black wedding dresses.<br/><br/>The colour black works well with most other colours, including white, pink and yellow and it can be used to marvelous effect with these accent colours.<br/><br/>So here are a few pictures for inspiration for a black

bride, planning on making a speech at your wedding? I am interested to find out how many brides are planning to speech or has done so at their weddings. Tell us by leaving a comment on this post!</span></strong><br/><br/><span style="text-decoration:underline;">So onto who, traditionally, says what, about whom, when!</span><br/><br/><a name='more'></a><br/><br/><strong>Master of Ceremonies:</strong><br/><br/>Your MC is there to keep your guests informed as to the order of events and to introduce each speaker. Make sure your MC is someone who is comfortable with public speaking and that he/she knows exactly how you want the event to run.<br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.fotosearch.com/photos-images/wedding-speech.html"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-116 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/speechfatherofbride.jpg?w=170" alt="" width="185" height="147" /></a></p><br/><br/><strong>Father of the Bride:</strong><br/><br/>Traditionally the father of the bride is the first speech-maker and he should toast the bridal couple. His speech could include some advice to the newlywed couple, anecdotes about the bride as a young girl, and a welcome to the groom into the family.<br/><br/><strong>The Groom:</strong><br/><br/>The groom needs to thank everyone involved with the planning of the wedding, compliment his bride and toast the bridesmaids. He could also tell the guest a little more about how he and the bride met, thank her parents for their permission to marry the bride and thank his new father-in-law for welcoming him to the family. He should also include a tribute to his parents.<br/><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.fotosearch.com/photos-images/wedding-speech.html"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-117 aligncenter" src="http://weddingdimension.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/speechbestman.jpg?w=170" alt="" width="184" height="184" /></a></p><br/><br/><strong>The Best Man:</strong><br/><br/>The best man's job is to toast the groom, and he might want to tell a few humorous stories about the groom as a young man. He compliments the bride and wishes the newlyweds well. He could also read messages from absent family members or friends.<br/><br/><strong>How to write your speech:</strong><br/><br/>The most important thing to remember is to keep your speech short and sweet. There is nothing more draining than listening to someone drone on and on while your stomach is rumbling! The ideal length of a speech should be between 3 and 8 minutes - NO MORE!<br/><br/>Inject humour into your speech where possible, but remember to keep it clean! Your younger guests might not mind a dirty joke, but some of the older folks might be offended and you don't want them to only remember the horrible joke at your wedding. Keep jokes relevant, short and above the belt at all times!<br/><br/>Avoid repetition - Once the groom has thanked everyone by name, you don't have to do that again.<br/><br/>Don't rush through your speech. Take your time to collect your thoughts and deliver your speech clearly and allow guests to react to what you've said.<br/><br/>The golden rule is to speak from the heart and be sincere. And if your emotions get the better of you, don't stress - most people will find it endearing :-)<br/><br/>Here are a few sites that have wonderful ideas and tips on how to write the perfect speech:<br/><br/><a href="http://www.hsg-wed.co.za/articles-speeches.php" target="_blank">HSG</a><br/><br/><a href="http://speeches.com/index.aspx?gclid=CNLdyJumlZMCFRCpQwodCFQpfQ" target="_blank">Speeches.com</a><br/><br/><a href="http://www.weddingspeechbuilder.com/bride/speeches/bridespeech.cfm?CFID=5436610&CFTOKEN=26981541" target="_blank">SpeechBuilder.com</a><br/><br/><a href="http://www.hitched.co.uk/speeches/deliveryourspeech.aspx" target="_blank">Hitched.co.uk</a><br/><br/><a href="http://www.presentationhelper.co.uk/how-to-father-of-the-bride-speech-48.htm" target="_blank">PresentationHelper</a><br/><br/><a href="http://www.celebration.co.za/wedding-articles/articles/37/1/Wedding-Speeches/Page1.html" target="_blank">Celebration.co.za</a><br/><br/><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Please don't forget to tell us if you made a speech at your wedding, or if you are planning to do so!
