The Name Change Game >
It used to be quite simple. When a man and woman would marry, the wife would take the last name of the husband. She would change her name and, from that day forth, be known as the Mrs. version of her husband. When that happened, all of her identification, except her birth certificate, would be switched over to her newly changed name. Her health card, social insurance card, driver's license, credit cards, bank accounts and insurance would be changed. OCT 29, 2007

Money. It is what makes the world go round and a big stumbling block when it comes to weddings. Setting up a wedding budget is a necessity even for the rich and famous. Once the wedding budget is established and the participants themselves have committed, then the rest of the planning stage can be spent trying to figure out how to stay within budget. OCT 23, 2007

Today, these small little wedding favors have grown into much more elaborate presentations and can be anything including candlesticks, wine glasses, vases, frames or other bigger ticket items.
