“My dress was white with tie-dyed panels in it and my maid of honor and bridesmaids each wore a different color out of the colors in my dress. We originally were going to do camo just to be different and a good friend of ours passed away that was very into tie-dye so to honor her we switched to tie-dye.”

- Charlene Stephens

Sunshine and RosesPicking your wedding flowers can be a big decision, the flowers affect the overall look of your day. From the ceremony to the reception the flowers can make or break the look. Always keep an open mind to your florist’s ideas, you picked a professional for a reason. But be sure not to compromise too much, you are the one with the overall vision of the day. Also be sure that you love the bouquet. It is the only floral design that will be in the majority of your photos and those photos will be hanging on your walls, your parents’ walls, your in-laws, walls, everywhere! To save a little money you can make your bridesmaids’ bouquets simpler, and therefore

less costly, you want your bouquet to be the centerpiece anyway.Valley brides share their wedding day flowers:

“I used pansy flowers. It was my parents’, especially my dad’s favorite flower, and I used it in memory of them since they both passed away before I got married.”

- Annette E. Maust

“I had beautiful white roses that were dipped in gold, blue and silver - just the tips. The special meaning is for all the family members who had passed away and were there with us in spirit”

- Erin Davis

“Multicolored roses with seashells and starfish mixed in. They were special

just because they fit my beach theme so well and it made my day when they were delivered.”

- Becky Schmidt(pictured above)

“My grandmother, mother and I all carried white lillies.”

- Kimberly Ann

“Gerber daisies, tulips, roses”

- Ashley Strouse Marino

“Ivory roses with baby’s breath.”

- Krystal Parker-Boop

“I purchased silk flowers from Michael’s for my wedding. To honor my fiance’s deceased parents, we put their favorite colors in my bouquet. After the wedding, I will take the flowers and incorporate them into a wreath for our home.”- Candice Stasheski

“White roses.”- Justina Gauger

1. The very first thing you need to do is ask yourself two simple questions: Do I want to spend a lot of time cooking? And what do I plan to spend a lot of time cooking?There is absolutely no shame in answering the first question “no.” If you hate to cook, own it proudly. Don’t ask your wedding guests to outfit a professional kitchen you will never get around to using: instead, ask for linens, lamps, vases and other nonfood items that you will actually use. If you do like to cook, be honest and realistic about what you like to cook. There is no shame in knowing that what you really like to cook are the 20 quick and easy meals you were raised on. There is also no shame in being an extremist who has to try the latest thing in molecular gastronomy.

The important thing is that you should keep your style of cooking and entertaining in mind when you create your registry.

2. Pick a “top-shelf appliance” that goes with the cooking that is most important to you. You shouldn’t have all $300 items on your registry, but everyone is allowed one or two.

3. Don’t focus on trophies. There are probably millions of unused KitchenAid

mixers sitting on counters across America. It’s an awesome appliance. But if you make one batch of cookies every alternate Leap Year, then for heaven’s sake, ask for something you’ll actually use.

4. Don’t indulge your fantasy cook. A better gadget than your current model, or a gadget that does something you already like to do by hand: great idea. A gadget that is supposed to make you like doing something you’ve never bothered with before: probable waste of space.

5. If a small appliance won’t live on the counter, skip it. There are exceptions to this rule: the ice cream maker is seasonal, the deep fryer probably shouldn’t be used too

often, and the waffle iron...well, no one I’ve ever met eats waffles every day. But this is a good general rule, and you should be as ruthless as possible: if it won’t live on the counter, that means you probably won’t use it often enough to justify owning it.

6. Forget the color of the year for sturdy appliances. In 10 years, it is going to make you want to poke your eyes out with an Avocado Green meat fork. It will clash madly with your new curatins, and you will want to take it off the counter to hide it from your guests. Pick white, black or stainless steel for your major appliances. Get your pops of color from curtains, canisters and other small items that you won’t mind buying again every five to ten years.

Traditional or handwritten vows?

We wrote our own, but the pastor also did the “for better or worse” bit as well. One of my

favorite memories from our wedding is thinking about how sentimental

we both were with the vows we wrote!

- Amanda Irvin

Four out of the nine responders to a Facebook poll went with the traditional vows, whereas four others wrote their own and Beth Walter said they did “half and half.”

Readers shared with us a few details from their wedding ceremony:Letty McKinney: “Scripture: Corinithians, because it describes the kind of love we should have for one another. The Lord’s Prayer was played on flute as my husband and I received Holy Communion as the first act of our marriage.” Annette Maust shared: “We used our own vows and my brother-in-law wrote a beautiful poem just for us. Also used Corinithians “love is patient love is kind” passage. We also played the song “Holes in the Floor of Heaven” in rememberance of my parents who passed away before we got married.

Tips on Writing Your Own Vows

The Knot gives this advice: Read dozens of vows 1. examples for inspirationAgree on format and tone 2. with your fianceJot down notes about 3. your relationshipCome up with a few promises4. Write it all out5. Banish cliches6. Take out anything too 7. cryptic or embarrassing Shorten your vows to 8. one to two minutesPractice out loud9. Make a clean copy for yourself10.

Popping the QuestionAsking your significant other for their hand in marriage is a momentous occasion, and it is a story that will be retold countless times. Here are a few stories from around the Valley about how to get down on one knee.

Karen Hartley“We were married September 21, 1968, He proposed the Christmas before by telephone. I received a package in the mail and was told not to open it until he called (of course it was a diamond). My future husband was in the Air Force stationed at Westover Air Froce in Michigan.”

Sonya Steiner“My last game of softball ended. He had all players on the field and me up to bat when the pitcher released the ball all the players surrounded the pitcher’s mound and he traded places with the catcher without me knowing, caught the ball and threw it bach to the pitcher where the pitcher threw him the box with the ring in it and got down on one knee and asked right there at home plate.”

Jillian Bastian“We were high school sweethearts since February 2004. He proposed to me Christmas Eve 2008. We had a country western wedding in October 2010”

Matt Dodge &Kyra Longenberger

“I thought about getting the lights and tying them together so when they light up it will say, ‘Will you marry me.’” Matt planned to take Kyra to the top of the mountain at Tedd’s on the Hill in Shamokin Dam for a nice scenic look at the Christmas lights in Sunbury in December of 2012. Once the couple arrived Matt texted his brother to turn on the lights placed on the stairs at the Sunbury ampitheatre. “I was hoping we would be able to see the lights, if not I had binoculars as a backup,” said Matt. “I was totally suprised,” said Kyra, “Matt said we were going up the mountain to see the lights. I had no idea what was to come. So I started looking. It was a clear night. He told me to look in a certain spot, and that’s when I saw the ‘Will You Marry Me.’ I started jumping up and down, I was so happy.” When she turned around, there was Matt, on his knees, proposing. “I said yes,” Kyra repeated. This story originally appeared in The Daily Item.

October 2014 15

Jessica Deibler“We had been dating for six years, but they were during high school and most of my college career, when I received quite a Christmas gift from him. I had never been out of the country and he wanted to be the one to take me somewhere special. So he told me we were headed to the Swiss Alps in late August. I had to wait eight months to use my Christmas gift. Once we were in Switzerland, we toured a few different cities and we were in Lucerne when we planned a trip up the nearest mountain, Mt. Pilatus. I still had no idea anything was happening, even when we stopped on a bench and he started to fidget. He got down on one knee and I couldn’t believe what was happening. I couldn’t even say ‘Yes’; only nod my head. After we came back from the mountain, we enjoyed a true Swiss feast, complete with fondue. It was the best trip of my life and we were married a year later and are now expecting our first child. And he planned everything himself.

According to Brittany: My fiance and I met on Christmas Eve back in 2011 at a local establishment. He insulted my taste in music and I knew I had to have him! I mean they always tell little girls: “if a boy is mean to you, they must like you.” From there on we had a long distance relationship in the works while he was in Sunbury and I was in Virginia Beach. After three and a half years, he finally proposed on Coney Island during a Mermaid Parade in New York.

An unplugged ceremony, or wedding, is when the couple asks the guests to turn off their cellphones and cameras and leave the photos to the professionals.

The idea is for your guests to be more present with you as you say your vows and not disconnected from behind a screen “capturing the moment.”

A good way to announce you are going unplugged is to put a small note in your program and have your officiant make an announcement before the start of the ceremony. Another reason to go unplugged is so that guests do not get in the way of your professional photographer and possibly ruin your first kiss by stepping into the aisle.

Remember to be polite if someone goes against your wishes, most likely they are very enthusiastic about capturing your big day.

A hashtag can be great for your wedding to collect all your guests photos in one place to look at while waiting in the airport on your way to the honeymoon.

These photos give you many different perspectives from the day that you would not otherwise be able to experience.

But there can be some drawbacks as well: you cannot control which photos get published, so there may be a few too many drunken photos in your feed or photos from a different event with the same hashtag. You can avoid this by making your hashtag very unique. You can also have a lot of fun with a hashtag by creating a cute Instagram scavenger hunt for guests during cocktail hour.

Remember to post it so your guests know to use it! Put a little note on your program or a sign by the door.

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue......and a sixpence in your shoe.

Page 25: Inside Pennsylvania Weddings 2014

October 2014 25

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue......and a sixpence in your shoe.

What’s in a saying? In the old adage of the “somethings” each “something” represents a wish for the bride and groom for their marriage. Something old stands for continuity, something new stands for optimism for the future, something borrowed stands for borrowed happiness, something blue stands for purity, love and fidelity, and the sixpence stands for prosperity.

Brides from around the Valley share their “somethings”:

“Something old: my mother’s earrings; something borrowed: my sister’s necklace; something new: my wedding dress; something blue: the inside of my wedding cake.”

- Randi Lambert

“Something old: necklace, bracelet and earrings; borrowed: veil; blue: underwear; new: my dress and husband.”

- Aryn Ewig

“Borrowed - my veil, old - my grandmother’s garter, something blue - my garter, new - my dress.”

- Rebecca Cimino

“Borrowed and old was my mom’s Bible she used when she got married, new was the ruby earrings my dad got me, and blue was the garter.”- Rachel Hendricks Kauffman

“Something old: grandmother’s pearls, something new: my wedding dress, something borrowed/blue: handkerchief from my grandmother, something blue: ‘I Do’ letters on the bottom of my wedding shoes.”

- Kelley Dravenstott

“Old - my brother’s lucky medallion, borrowed - necklace, blue - garter, new - gown”

- Jane Mingle

“Something old: a necklace of my mom’s, something borrowed: a medal that we put in the bouquet, something blue: a blue ribbon in honor of my son who died four days before my wedding, something new: a pair of pearl earrings.”

- Sarah Hittle

“Something old: we used part of my mom’s wedding dress as our unity ribbon; something new: my jewelry; something borrowed: my late grandfather’s high school class ring pinned to the inside of my dress; something blue: the bodice of my dress had a very faint blue in it.”

- Megan Daughterty

“Borrowed: anklet, blue: garter, new: dress, old: earrings.”

- Jennifer Keister

“Something old: my grandmother’s wedding ring, something borrowed: my mom let me use my great grandmother’s hankey (it was stuck in my garter), something blue: my garter, something new: the earrings my soon-to-be husband got me.”

- Alison Ludwig Bender

“My something old was antique cameos pinned to our flower bouquets. My something borrowed was an antique cameo from my Aunt Jean which I returned to her. My something new was a modern white cameo ring that was bought by my cousin Angela. My something blue was a Pandora bead on a ribbon attached to the inside of my bustle.”

- Chrystal Albertson-Keister

“Something old: my nana’s DEAREST pin that my late papa gave her, something borrowed: my sorority sisters’ badges attached to my wedding bouquet, something blue: my Penn State garter, and something new: my beautiful silver rosary beads my mom had blessed by the new Pope wrapped around my wrist.”

- Aubrey Lynne Sejuit

A save-the-date is a pre-invitation mailing which officially announces your wedding date and that the recipient is indeed invited to attend your wedding. It is not always necessary to send a save-the-date but it is a courtesy when planning your big day around major holidays or at a destination that most guests will be required to travel to. The best time to send these invitations is a minimum of six months before your day, or eight months if planning a destination wedding. However you can send these out as

soon as you know your date and location to be sure that as many guests are able to attend. Be sure you only send out these invitations to guests you know will be on your final guest list. This invitation, even if informal, sets an expectation that the person will formally be invited to your wedding. And once the invitation is in the mail there is no turning back. A good rule of thumb is just to send to your family and members of the wedding party, people who you know you won’t cut from

the final count, and are those you care most about having with you on your special day. Remember to have fun with your save-the-date, it is meant to be a more informal and relaxed announcement of your upcoming nuptials then the formal invitation. Be mindful however that this invitation does set the stage for your event, so be sure that they are a reflection of your planning. The save-date-cards are a great way to show off those engagement photos you took!

How to (legally) Tie the KnotThe basics of getting a marriage

license in the state of Pennsylvania include being over the age of 18, or with custodial conset at age 17. According to the Dauphin County website “a marriage license may be obtained from the Clerk of Orphans Court in any county in Pennsylvania. The ceremony need not be performed in the county the license was issued, but must be performed in the state of Pennsylvania.” Basic requirements are that “both parties need to appear in person to apply. If either party was previously married and divorced you must submit a certifi ed copy of the fi nal divorce decree. There is a state mandated three-day waiting period from time of application until marriage license can be used. Licenses are valid anywhere in the Commonweatlh of Pennsylvania and are good for 60 days from date of issue,” according to the Montour County website. Both parties must also present photo ID, drivers license or passport.

After you return from your honeymoon the first step is to acquire your original marriage license with your new name on it. One may have been sent to you by the state but if not be sure to have the certified copy. You might even want to get an extra copy, just in case.

The next step is to change your Social Security card. There is a form online which can be mailed in.

After you receive your new Social Security card, about 10 days, head down to the DMV to change your license. Bring with you your old driver’s license, your marriage license and your new Social Security card.

After you have your new driver’s license you can start to change your bank accounts. This is easiest done in person at your nearest location. You will need new checks, debit card and credit cards.

Then comes the fun part of changing the myriad of other places where your name can be found:

credit cards• the payroll at your place of employment• the post office• utlity companies• school and alumni associations• professional licensing boards• landlord or mortgage company• insurance companies• doctors’ offices• magazine subscriptions• voter registration office• your attorney (update your will!) • the passport office•

Changing your name after marriage is both an exciting and a daunting task. There are many steps to take before you can officially share your new spouse’s last name. But don’t start the process before you go on your honeymoon, all your travel documents need to have the same name, especially your passport!
