Who doesn’t like jamming out to music when you’re getting ready to go out? Practically no one, so that’s what got me thinking about the big day and how everyone needs a soundtrack when they’re getting ready. I’m always pointing out fun trends, wedding day planning tips and of course my non-solicited advice; I thought I’d have one of Complete Music’s DJs make a play list. He poured over it and reached across all genres of music to create what he considered a great play list. I of course put some of my songs in there as well. So get your Carlton on!

I just got done reading about a woman who put herself on a feeding tube diet. She literally allowed a feeding tube to be placed in her nose, down her esophagus, and into her stomach to deliver a paltry 800 calories a day. She isn’t sick; she’s a bride that’s trying to lose weight for her wedding.
Let me tell you what feeding tubes are for:
1.Babies, children, and adults who are sick who cannot get enough nourishment into their bodies to stay alive.
That’s it.
Let me tell you what they are not for:
1.To make sure you lose weight for your wedding.
I’m not judging this woman; clearly she has enough self-esteem problems that she doesn’t need me giving her crap. But what I am going to do is tell each and every one of you beautiful brides that you are indeed beautiful. You do not need to put a feeding tube in your nose to lose weight. If you want to lose weight, which many brides do, please do it as a healthy life change. Nothing wrong with changing your diet and exercising more so you can shed unwanted pounds. Make it a promise to yourself to be a healthy wife for your future husband. Make the promise together, a couple who exercises together and eats healthy together gets to live longer together! I’m not making that up, the more things you can do as a couple the stronger your relationship will be. I’m no Dr.Phil but this a relationship fact.
Oh and if your soon to be spouse thinks this feeding tube diet is a great idea then let’s add that guy to the list of “men you do not date/marry” (btw that is a hilarious article..but,I’m pretty sure there are no guys left to date after that list, so reader beware!).
Anyway…my dearest brides, you have enough stress placed on you to make your wedding day perfect, to look perfect and to be perfect. But let me remind you, perfect isn’t what he fell in love with. Perfect isn’t what your friends love about you, sh!t if you were actually perfect no one would like you! Remember that. Your wedding is about being in love and making a commitment to love each other through thick and thin and that is all you need in order to have a perfect wedding day.
Cheers
There are many girls/women out there that have been dreaming of their wedding their whole lives, planning, pinning, or just pretending all things wedding. While they are doing all this preemptive planning I want to know do they think about changing their name as well? Do they wonder what their last name will end up as or is that a detail that isn’t really thought about? Because I think about it, changing one’s last name seems so personal, so life altering, almost like you’ve been given a new identity, that I personally struggle with the decision.
If I look at identity as a whole, it’s pretty darn important. For example did you see what happened to GAP when they tried to change their logo? It lasted all of 18 hours. It was a great publicity stunt if that was what they intended, but I don’t think that was what they were going for. I’m not saying I’m as known or as important as an international clothing outlet, but, there is value in this analogy. How the public reacted to GAP changing their logo is a prime example of how attached I am to my last name, and, well, actually yours too. Well, maybe not yours, but all the girls I went to high school and college with, I can’t handle your new last names, you’re always going to be Lauren D or Annie C to me.
I understand why women change their names, I mean once you start having children it is nice to all be under one name. Heaven forbid one gigantic name: Adeline Loraine Fredrickson-Harris. It’s a freaking mouthful. But what is the right thing to do? What if you’re the last of your last name?! How sad is that? What if you’ve been working your little tail off and everyone in the world knows who you are? What if you haven’t been working or you’re not the last of your kind and you just really like your last name? Or what if your soon to be last name is just awful? I met a guy with an awful last name and one of the first questions out of my mouth was, “Do you expect your significant other to take your last name when that day finally arrives?” “Absolutely” he said, so quickly that I felt almost ashamed for asking, but I didn’t let it go. I can never let things like this go, I begged on behalf of his nonexistent future wife. “How can you expect a woman to take that last name?” “How!? Answer me with something better than what you’re telling me” To no avail, he was certain that he would make his wife don his horrific last name. I felt and still feel bad for his wife, I hope one day I get to meet her and tell her that I tried.
I have no solution for this name game; I don’t even know for sure what I would do when the time comes. I wish I did. So for now I get to play devil’s advocate for either side of the argument that isn’t well represented. Besides it’s always fun to stir the pot.
Cheers
