1960's Weddings

The 1960's Wedding

 The age of freedom, peace rally's, writting to soldiers, complaints about the government and the treatment of our young men in "Vietnam" woman had a strong voice.  

Woodstock was countered by revival that was countered by independence, individuality. Parents yelled at their children publically, drug education began.  Overall people tried to help others in trying times.  The introduction to humor in Wedding entered with cake toppers. It was a time when you had to speak out on abuse.

 We were all looking at TV 

more that we should have. Weddings are still the foundation of a relations. Witnesses stood up for their couples in church or in front of a judge.  Court weddings in front of a justice of the peace excited. 

      Okay the 60's was more liberal than the 50's.

Woman began to be known for owning business. Decor and venues were becoming more non traditional. 

                                              

                        

  Modern 60's want to have a home, the tradition of a wedding and the reality that it leads to home purchase of a home. 

                        Sophistication is the best part about choosing an era wedding. To find the venue and the class you are looking for. It is part of you and your financing talking through the era. There are choices and colors to be made.  You can use choices from your favorite fabric or wallpaper or your wedding invitation.  

 This era show the simplistic approach along with whimsy is a fun way to begin a married life. 

Composing looks that go together well, help to put the whole wedding together.

The Importance of Timing Holiday Parties with Ex (PART 2)

Hi there Diamond Glamour Girls;

As you know as ex's we get blamed for things we didn't do. I think it is self reflection of what they see in themselves. Kind of like the song "Trojan's in my Head". Men, women, people as a whole hope for things that are not in "His" will for our lives. My advice is to be the best you can be no matter what.

Injury, Abuse, Lack of Respect, it all happens, our goal is to have self respect! If you know that you did the best you could with want you have then that is the best. Do not fall victim consistently. Call them on the behavior and continue to love the person as best you can.

Timing is important. If they are abusing call for help right away. If you felt abused do not let them put even a hand on you.

Here are my helpful tips.

1. Shake hands with your ex. Set your boundaries.
2. Speak highly of him in public. (What happened in the court, stays in the court and between the both of you and your attorneys.) If your children on of adult age and they want to know allow them to read the court paper. I assure you after they read the court papers they will think both their parents are stupid.
3. Mingle will all the people at the party. If it is your way to visit with your children assure the children you can be respectful to them. Put your children's feeling first.
4. Catch up on the things you have missed in their life throughout the year. Use the time to enjoy your children. The meaning of the Holidays and the good times you once had as a family.
5. Allow the healing to begin. Do not point out a person's fault. You both have one thing in common and that is what is best for your children.
6. Self respect is part of saying I know and trust my Gods perfect plan for my life. Although I tried my best in this marriage it didn't work out. Therefore, I trust my children love me and they are the best the marriage created.
7. Here is where timing comes into play. You know best were your limits are. If you hit the place within you were their is to much pain, you have the right to say so.
You have the right to ask your ex to leave if it is your party. They have the same right if you are at their party. If your children are of driving age ask them to drive separate cars, therefore they too can choose to leave the party if it get to painful for them. Celebration are about the joy of the season in your life. Make it a happy one. Make it a hopeful one. YOU ARE ALWAYS A FAMILY. DIVORCE IS FOR THE ADULTS. PARENTS DO NOT DIVORCE THEIR CHILDREN. THEY ARE ALWAYS YOUR CHILDREN. IT'S JUST A NEW BEGINNING!

PEACE! MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Wedding Vows_Cherish

I love it when couples write their own.  I love it when the Pastor, Preachers, Rev, Teachers encourages them to look, express, and find the things that are positive in one another.  It is moments like this that make the marriage and the couple hold on to one another. Anyone can find the negative in their mate; very few can find the positive.  In order to do this each person has to look beyond all the personal flaws that their mate comes with.  You have to look beyond the family, beyond careers, beyond the history and into the present and future.  The positive helps create a future home for one another.  This is easy to do say hard to maintain in a relationship that goes from Romance to everyday life.

One of favorite songs growing up was and is Cherish.  You have to “Cherish” one another to help each other through all the difficult things that life may bring.  Maybe you will be one of those couples that nothing major happens, maybe you are a couple of drama either way Cherishing what you have together lets each of you know that what you have is special.

Cherish!

Written by Terry Kirkman

Cherish is the word I use to describe

All the feelings that I have hiding here for you inside

You don’t know how many times I’ve wished that I told you

You don’t know how many times I’ve wished that I could hold you. 

You don’t know how many times I’ve wished that I could mold you in to someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you. 

You…………………………………. Yours………………………………………….……

Oh I’m beginning to think that man has never found the words to make you want me.

That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound, that could make you hear,

Make you see that you are driving me out of my mind.

Oh, I could say I need you, but then you’d realize that I want you, just like a thousand other guys who say they loved you with all the rest of their lies, when all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands and gaze into your eyes.

Cherish me as much as I cherish you.

And I do cherish do cherish you.

Cherish is the word!

When I was a child I wondered about marriages its plus and minuses.  Most of all how difficult it was to maintain. It was the 60’s, a time of change.  Women are and were powerful beings.  They were discovering that divorce was acceptable in certain situations and acted on it.  Watching the people I loved going through divorces, hoping, praying I would never have to go through one myself left me with an enormous amount of empathy for those who struggling to express themselves within their own relationships. It was a time of change that I compare it to getting ready for a wedding. 

Couples hope for:

Love

  Romance

    Great Sex

     Peace

       Understanding

          Finances

             Endurance

                Blessings

Sometimes while they are planning their wedding these gifts don’t always look, feel that way they would like.  As they grow together, change with life, change with their families, aging parents, siblings who desire what they have, finances, children who want too much, children who don’t want more, couples become parents themselves, purchase their first home, friendships that want to meddle, so will their personal feelings change.  Unless the couples remember to Cherish each other.

In order to succeed at getting ready for all of these things you have to cherish each other.  Respect

Individuality

Personal space

Right to Privacy

The need for friendship, fellowship, understanding…

Give each other room to change, grow, and mature.  Understand it will not always be like it was in the beginning, although it should be.  But understand sometime truth can hurt, but truth heals.  Most of all find the positive Cherish each other, the moments in time when you are both at the same place at the same time.
