From "I WilI" to "I1Do" By Trina J. Astor Most brides dream of that day when they will Swalk down thie aisle in shimmering white to meet their beloved at the bridal altar. These dreamns are often float- *ing in a sea of romance and rose buds with everyone and every- thing filling their place in orchestrated harmony. Shortly after saying "I will" they realize that in order to Smake that dream come true there is an endless ?\stream of sometimes tiresome tasks. There are many etiquette books avail- able which will tell the bride what is proper for ber to do f rom one year to one day before ber Swedding. All good advice to avoid a "faux pas" on, the wedding day. However they of ten make it sound like a stage production rather than a matter of heart. It is necessary to be kind to one's family who have contributed 50 much up to this point as well as~ to fulfill one's own desires. This is a challenging time and sets the tone of your relationships long after marriage. Listen to family and friends, give due respect. In short, create a climate of working together which you ahl can live with. At the samne time stress that if you are mature enough to be married you are mature enough to plan your wedding. This may seemn very obvious, yet n-ost couples reach a point in planning their wedding whien they feel they mnust make their wishes known or be submerged in an avalanche of diverging wills. Someone once said that a signi of true love was if one feit that their love was greater and more unique than that felt by anyone else ever. This thought is carried through in every bride's desire th'at ber wedding day be more special, more unique than any she has ever seen or heard, about: from however small' and picturesquely pretty, to however grand and elegant. But often due to lack of confidence in herself she bends ber dreams to fit into what everyone expects ber to do. The modern bride can relax in the knowledge that the 1970's offer her more freedomn than ever before. As long as the idea fits the golden rule of kindness, she can be sure it will not only please her but create just that atmnosphere of hushed awe at ber wedding that everyone will remember long afterwards. These are just some of those moments... -One evening wedding, was made especially beautiful by the congregation sing- ing a congratulatory hymn before the bride and groom walked down the aisle and out the portal into the peace- fully golden sun. -Or the wedding where the soloist did n ot stand at the front and sing before the bride entered the church but instead walked ahead of the bridesmaids, serenading the bride in. ... Or the wedding 'where the bride and the groom pledged- their enduring love to one anotheir in a poem just before being pro- nounced man and wife. 1There are many ways to make your wedding more beautiful for you and your guests. From kissing your father "Thank You" when he, gives you away; to presenting both mothers with fragrant roses before leaving the church;, to even having Bridai Supplemen dinner dancing when a buffet meal causes some guests to be finished eating before others, if there is a large crowd. In short, whatever your vision or dream of your wedding is, follow it, cherish it, pursue it. Then you can be sure that when you look back on your wedding day you will feel -no regret, but only warmth, satis- faction and love. Im. 23WNoriunning. SNo walking. No ýexercise. K dtin UInt.
