It’s considered proper etiquette to offer a speech and toast if the occasion is formal, if informal then it may not be required but it’s certainly a nice gesture and one that couple will appreciate.As rule of proper etiquette the following should be followed: Hosts and the guests of honor typically offer a toast or speech. If hosts are the children of the anniversary couple - then one would be appointed the spokesperson to deliver the speech and toast on behalf of all children. In a formal setting it would be expected that the husband would give the response speech as spokesman for the guests of honor. In an informal setting either partner or both may provide a speech. Toasts should always be short and to the point – no longer than a couple of sentences. There are a number of things to keep in mind when making speeches at anniversaries. Try to avoid making a joke that might slight or insult the couple. Keep in mind that it’s a couple that is celebrating their anniversary and they should be able to enjoy it. The replies a couple would make to any speeches made are very dependant upon your family circle & culture; Typically anniversary speeches follow along similar lines to a wedding celebration and thus thanking those who organized the event and for the people who turned up to join you in your celebration.

One of the most memorable occasions in a woman's life is when the man she loves proposes to her.
Of course not every woman is going to admit it, but many woman spend time daydreaming about the perfect proposal. For many women, this is an even that will occur only once in her lifetime. I've never understood why more men haven't considered proposing again on say their 5th anniversary, their 10th or 20th. Nothing says you love her quite like letting her know if you had the choice you'd do it all over again. Labels: anniversary, engagement, proposal, renewed wedding vows, vow renewal January 22, 2007
The Guy's Guide To Anniversary Planning
This is a guide to Preparing for Your Anniversary. With that know there are 3 essentials:
1. A card, flowers (paper roses perhaps) and gift are all strongly recommended. 2. Planning is necessary. It means so much more when a woman knows you took the time. 3. Intimacy is key. Make it personal and so will she! 7 Most Important Questions to Ask Yourself When Preparing for Your Anniversary: 1. What did you do last year? * This will set the pace for this year. You always have to move forward to something new, different. Don't fall into the trap of always trying to do something "better". This will inevitably lead to eventual disappointment, not to mention possible bankruptsy. Which brings us to... 2. How much can you afford to spend? * It is especially important to be realistic and have limits. She knows how much money the two of you have, and if you (remember you is plural now) spend what you can't afford, she'll know. And she'll also know that you (plural) will be paying for it later. If that's the case, it's not worth it. 3. What type of woman is your wife (emotional, intellectual, traditional, etc.)? * This is especially important when it comes to gift giving. The best gift says "I know you, I get you, and I love you". Most women like flowers. Most women think roses are beautiful. But if lilies are her favorite, bring her lilies. 4. What does your wife like to do, what is her "thing"? This has nothing to do with what she does for a living! Photography, cooking, dancing, eating, etc. * Again, tell her "I know you, I get you, and I love you". What ever it is, if you can, do it with her, or give her the opportunity to do "it". Schedule a salsa class; go to a cooking class together, a photo shoot. Think outside the box. Individualizing your gift takes time yes, but it's worth it. 5. What is the one thing you appreciate most about your wife? * Tell her. This can be a theme for you. Try to express your appreciation without words, if you can. 6. What one thing can you do well, on your own? * Do it for her, to her or with her. Make yourself as much a part of a gift as possible. 7. How are you going to top it next year? * Remember it is about progression. Remember to continue to know her, learn her. Labels: anniversary, anniversary gift, anniversary ideas, paper roses, roses, wedding Romance Your Wife - Date Her Again Many men are clueless when it comes to romancing their wives. It’s not because the desire isn’t there, it’s because the know-how isn’t.The first thing to always remember, is what it took to get her is what it’s going to take to keep her. Think back to the time when you asked her out on your first date. Where did you go, what did you do? The obvious signs are there that she appreciated your efforts because she’s your wife now, correct?
Going through the motions is half the fun. Send her an email asking her out – call her from work in the middle of the day – you could even call her from another room in the house; just make sure it’s obvious that the effort is being made on your part to actually date her. And never forget, what it took to get her is what it takes to keep her. Preparing For A Wedding - A Husband's ViewYou finally got the courage to pop the question to your girlfriend, so you setup an unforgettable moment to ask her to be your wife. Everything went perfectly and she said yes. Now the hard part begins, planning the wedding. Many people think that the husband is exempt from all of the planning of the wedding, because the wife and her mother take care of all of the planning. However in my experience this is not completely true. When my wife and I were planning our wedding, I was involved with quite a few things that I never thought I would have been involved in.
The first thing that I recommend doing is hiring a wedding planner. A wedding does not sound like a big deal, but for everything to work out the way you want it, you really need a professional to orchestrate all of the details. Also this will allow you and your fiancé the opportunity to enjoy the planning more, and to help not get too stressed out before the big day. Our wedding planner was extremely helpful, and when our flowers were running late, she took care of everything before my wife and I even noticed there was a problem. Another major piece of advice that I can give is make sure that you are on-time for all appointments that your fiancé makes regarding the wedding. If she has a meeting to speak to a florist, or a baker for the wedding cake, or a walk-through of the church, make sure that you are there and on-time. Your fiancé is already extremely stressed out, especially as the big day approaches, so she does not need to worry about you being there or not. Also I think women sometimes relates being late to not caring, so this can cause much bigger problems down the line, so make sure you are there on-time. If you follow these two main pieces of advice your wedding should go very smoothly, and you will live happily ever after! January 18, 2007
Spring Wedding for Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo Nick Lachey has popped the question to gorgeous girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo - and the couple plan to marry this spring."They're moving forward with plans for an April wedding," a close friend told The ENQUIRER. The engagement comes slightly more than a year after Nick, 33, and Jessica Simpson announced their split. Now Nick and Vanessa are mulling destinations for their wedding and honeymoon, disclosed a friend."Since they both love Baja, Mexico, it will probably happen south of the border, where they first fell in love." Labels: baja, celebrity wedding, mexico, Nick Lachey, Vanessa Minnillo Fergie to Wed After Accepting Duhamel's Christmas Proposal?The Black Eyed Peas star Fergie is trying to keep her engagement a secret by hiding her ring in her handbag when she's out in public. The singer accepted boyfriend Josh Duhamel's wedding proposal just before Christmas, according to reports, but she doesn't want to make the happy news public until they have set a wedding date. Life & Style magazine claims Fergie, real name Stacy Ferguson, was showing off her 4-carat diamond engagement ring at a pre-Christmas party at film producer Michael Bay's home on December 15 -- but she has kept it hidden ever since. Duhamel's representative has denied the engagement news, but a friend of the couple tells the magazine, "They don't want to announce the engagement until they set a wedding date, but Fergie can't wait to marry Josh." Sources suggest the couple are considering a European wedding next summer. An insider says, "She wants a big, formal wedding." For those who aren't aware of just who Josh is, he's one of the men keeping Las Vegas safe weekly on the television show Vegas. Congrats to the happy couple.

The Path To Forever: Intimacy And A Lasting Marriage
For a marriage to survive and last until that dreamy "forever," intimacy must exist between the couple. What is intimacy anyway? This just does not pertain to the act of making love, but fulfilling each other's emotional needs. It entails enlightening conversations in between kisses and caresses.
A lot of marriage counselors chalk up the longevity of a marriage to how intimate the couple is. Here are some ways to achieve that intimacy for that ideal, almost magical marriage: 1. All work and no intimacy make a dull couple. It is a given that after a crazy day at the office, the husband and wife both feel exhausted. But they must not let it get in the way of their relationship. They must allow for some quality time in and out of their love bed. 2. The husband must give what his wife wants: quality talk time. Wives want to talk things out and express what is inside their hearts. The husband must grant her that as this is one way to achieve emotional intimacy. 3. The couple must still exert an effort to look attractive. It does not mean that both must be “dressed up” all the time. But married couples must still try their best to look nice for their partners. This is one of the ways to start up the intimacy. 4. The couple must schedule dates. Dating must not end at marriage. In fact, both should set a time to go out and have fun, just like before. 5. Husband and wife must continually unleash their romantic side. Kisses, hugs, flowers, holding hands, stolen smacks...’the works’ - they do magic in a relationship. 6. Surprises are nice. Sweet surprises always lead to intimacy. If the couple knows when to pull off these incredibly romantic stints, then that's a surefire way to attain a divorce-proof relationship. 7. Solving a problem before it gets blown out of proportion is important. Intimacy loses its appeal once it gets "infected" by those conflicts that cripple the relationship. Conflicts should let a couple grow and not cause the downfall. It is nice to earn that happily-ever-after plateau. But marriage is not as easy as a Disney fairytale had told everyone. Intimacy must be maintained long after the honeymoon is over to guarantee the husband and wife that yes, this marriage would last. That yes, forever is possible.

Is a Rose of Any Other Color a Valentine's Day Rose?Red is the rose color of choice for traditional romantics, but roses of other colors are gaining ground. In 2006, 64% of roses purchased for Valentine's Day were red. That is down from 85% in 1995, according to figures from the California Cut Flower Commission (CCFC) and other leading floral industry trend-trackers. Roses of other colors, including pink, yellow, white and peach, claimed 36% in 2006, compared with 15% in 1995. Last year 65% of flowers sold for Valentine's Day were purchased by men. "Red roses remain the quintessential 'I love you,' at least from the man's point of view," says Kathryn Miele, director of marketing for the CCFC, headquartered in Capitola, California. "However, surveys show that while women enjoy red roses, they often prefer roses of other colors." California growers are in tune with this trend, planting an eye-boggling selection, not just for Valentine's but year round. Enter California greenhouses and you can feast your senses on a sumptuous banquet of many hues, forms and scents. "The split between red roses and other colored roses on a yearly basis is about 25% red and 75% other colors," explains Chad Nelson, sales manager for Eufloria Flowers, a major rose growing nursery in Nipomo, Calif. "For Valentine's Day the majority of rose growers offer a 50% red and 50% color mix. To do this we have to sacrifice more red roses in December, by pinching back the plant, which brings in more red supply for February. While we certainly enjoy strong sales for red Valentine's Day roses, it's good to see consumers are catching on to the value of giving other colors for the holiday." Lovers can court their sweethearts with the rose color that best expresses their sentiments, be it raspberry pink, smooth cream, or a dark velvety red. 'Bull's Eye,' a rich velvet red, and 'Pole Position,' a medium red, are in demand this Valentine's season according to Nelson, but other colors are seeing a renaissance with today's hip young consumers. This renaissance in colored roses is changing the style of Valentine's Day arrangements. Charlie Groppetti AIFD, a notable floral designer in Little Rock, Arkansas, blends roses of many hues, from dark pink to burgundy to orange to almost red, in hedge-style arrangements. And subtle shade differences in white, cream and blush colored roses combine to create a striking and sophisticated arrangement for Valentine's Day. There is also a trend toward mixing roses with other cut flowers in a range of pinks, from delicate blush to trendy hot pink, combined with fragrant yellows, mouthwatering apricot and coral colors. Consumers have never before had so many varieties of roses with which to make their statement of love and affection. There are about 200 varieties of commercially grown fresh cut roses now available compared with just 50 or so in the 1980s. Rose growing is big business for California growers, who produce 80% of all domestically grown fresh cut roses sold within the United States, and 10% of all the roses sold in the country. In 2006 U.S. consumers bought nearly 189 million stems of roses for Valentine's Day and about 1.2 billion of them throughout the year.

Twice as nice for nurse celebrating her second silver anniversaryA former nurse has celebrated her silver wedding anniversary - for the second time. Congrats to Eileen. Not many people get the chance to celebrate one, let alone two! She must be one heck of a wife or have a knack for attracting amazing men. Technorati Tags : silver+anniversary, wedding+anniversary Brides Joke - No Laughing MatterWedding jokes are not always funny. When a bride in Austria jokingly answered "no" instead of "yes" when asked if she wanted to marry her husband-to-be, the official performing the civil wedding promptly broke off the ceremony. Not even the bride's sobs could reverse the decision, and the couple had to wait two and a half months before they could give it another — successful — try, the Austrian newspaper Oberoesterreichischen Nachrichten reported Friday. Officials at the registry office in the city of Steyr, where the mishap occurred, declined to comment directly, but said the incident was highly unusual, according to the newspaper.
