Wedding Destinations Guide

We’re not in Pine Valley anymore. We’re in Connecticut, at the Country Chapel, to witness the marriage of Bianca Montgomery and Reese Williams. In a first for a daytime drama, two lesbian characters will be united in marriage on “All My Children”. But they had to do go to Connecticut, metaphorically, to do it. So the NYC sound stage was transformed for the day into a country wedding setting.

Brides.com went on set to watch the taping of the episode, which is scheduled to air on Feb. 16., to learn all the ceremony details. It’s a winter wedding, so the floral decorations flanking the aisle were huge, standing cascades of white silk flowers. The brides carried identical red bouquets. Frosty snow flecked the chapel windows. Bianca’s daughter was a flower girl dressed in a red velvet Lucy Sykes outfit.

Bianca, played by the actress Eden Riegel (Left), is famously the daughter of Erica Kane (the daytime drama legend, Susan Lucci) on the show. She described the ceremony style as elegant and classic. “It’s very much grounded in tradition,” says Riegel.

The marriage seemed a next logical step in the storyline of the lesbian characters. “It’s a moment we both really believe in,” she says.

The brides worked hard to have their wedding dresses compliment each other. Both had a long, lean, Grecian flowy feeling. Bianca wore a one shoulder Monique Lhullier gown flecked with gold beading. “It feels very of-the-moment,” she says of the sari flourish and the gold accents. She also wore gold Aldo shoes. Gold was indeed a top trend in many collections at the most recent bridal fashion week.

Today I’d like to share a few Italian proverbs that I’ve found to be 100% true and also quite funny. They’re pretty old and still
apply today.

But first, did you know that Italian wedding customs forbid the bride to wear any gold before and after the wedding? I don’t know if this is true for other nations but in Italy, Sunday weddings are considered to bring good luck to the newlyweds.

Alright, and now for some words of wisdom from Italy:

• A good wife makes a good husband.
• Don’t put a finger between wife and husband.
• Who has no wife has no master.

(Is this good or bad?)

• Who has a wife has strife.

If you are from Italy, I’d love to gather more wisdom words from you. Maybe you can ask your parents about their wedding day.

For the kid in all of us I decided to talk about a Wedding Game I’ve found on the internet last weekend.

Even if it’s intended to be a simple fun game, it certainly allows you to manipulate all sorts of weddings planning aspects and even create a storybook. The fun part is that you can choose a wedding dress, the music, the flowers and of course the wedding cake.

Beside dressing the bride and arranging the wedding, you can also play dress up with your groom and his groomsmen.

I know this may not be your regular ‘coffee break’ game but it’s really a great game to be played regardless of your age.

For the full description, more screenshots and the download link please visit ‘My Wedding Fantasy‘ page from FewGames.com.

P.S. post comments and let me know if you like or hate this game.

The Wedding Cake will be the centerpiece of your reception. Selecting a wedding cake is more about showing your personal style and why not creativity.

These days, you can choose not only the taste and ingredients but also the shape, colors, form, toppings and many more. Professional pastries can design a wedding cake custom-made precisely after your indications.

Usually, cakes are priced per slice according to cake flavors, fillings, frostings and complexity of design.

Here are some ideas to get your sweet tooth and your imagination started.
