Live music adds class, energy to weddings
Whether you want to add
a touch of class with
a jazzy sax and piano
duo playing romantic ballads or prefer
to pump up the energy with a hard-
charging party band, there’s nothing
quite like providing live music to set
your wedding apart from those that
only provide canned music and DJs.
But your dream day can turn into a nightmare if the band shows up late reek-ing of marijuana, chugs down your best alcohol, insults your guests and plays at an ear-splitting volume that drives away half the guests and gets the cops called out. So it pays to do your homework ahead of time to make sure you get what you expect and pay for.
Your safest bet is to hire musicians you’ve seen at other weddings who played

Making photos a snap
Weddings take months
to plan, but when the
big day comes, it all
goes by in a fl ash.
Years after the nuptials are over, the most important reminders of that whirlwind day will be photographs, so it makes sense to put some extra thought into who will be taking them, what they will shoot and how you’ll enjoy them down the road.
“The main thing to consider when looking for a photographer is what you want to have afterward,” said Teralind George of Shiffl ett Photography. Whether you want a traditional photo album, portraits, gifts
or expanded digital scrapbook, telling your photographer what you have in mind ahead of time will help him or her produce some-thing you’ll cherish forever.
At the same time, George said, it’s a good idea to keep in mind the photogra-phers’ skills and styles. The photographers at Shiffl ett Photography take a photojournalistic approach to covering weddings. Rather than take a series of posed shots, Shiffl ett photog-raphers take organic shots of the action as it unfolds, capturing intimate moments at the ceremony and candid celebration shots at the reception. While posed pictures are part of the project, they might not be the most evocative way to document your big day.
Good commu-nication can help a photog-rapher record your special day precisely the way you want to remember it.

choose something that refl ects who they are and that they are happy with,” said Joanne. “Know what you’re getting and know who you’re getting it for. The rest will just fall into place.”

“Weddings are a day fi lled with beauty and magic that emerges effortlessly,” said George. “We (photographers) believe our job is to capture that magic in the most authentic way – unobtrusively. Honestly. Joyfully.”
Just as you prefer to keep wedding day surprises to a minimum, so does your photographer. If you’re holding a religious ceremony, make sure your photographers are familiar with the religious customs that apply so they can get shots of all the key moments. If special events are planned for the ceremony or at the reception, make sure your photog-rapher knows what’s going on so he can be sure to be in the right place at the right time.
In short, the best way to ensure that the photo record of your wedding is as unique as the wedding itself is to provide your photogra-pher with everything he or she needs to make it so.
“The era of assembly-line coverage and common, ordinary albums is over,” said George. “We represent the grace, distinc-tion and style that is possible in wedding photography.”
Shiffl ett Photography, located at 700 Harvest Park Drive, Suite D in Brentwood, is open Monday through Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.shiffl ett-photography.com or call 925-513-1851.

Simple shower sweets
Bridal showers are a fun way
to bring people together to
shower the bride with affec-
tion and presents – and enjoy really
good food.
Finger foods are ideal for showers. Bite-size goodies let people nibble as they
talk, mingle and enjoy the fun. So why not serve a dessert that does the same thing?
Cheesecake pops are just the right size, allowing guests to enjoy scrumptious cheesecake without the guilt. And the wide array of colored sprinkles and sugars available makes it easy to dress them up in the bride’s wedding colors.
Frozen cheesecake saves loads of
These festive cheesecake pops are the perfect size and can be dressed up with a variety of colored sprinkles.

time. And here’s another secret: the cheesecake balls don’t need to look pretty before they’re dipped. Crust, cheesecake and all get covered in a coating of choco-late, smoothing over any imperfections. It might be a little messy, but everything works out when it is covered in chocolate.
Some of the most fun showers focus on a theme. Here are some ideas:
Around the House: Assign guests a room in the house and ask them to bring a gift for that room, such as spa items for the bathroom or a tool kit for the garage.
Around the Clock: Each guest is as-signed a time of day and brings a gift that will be useful during that hour. 7 a.m.? A coffee press. 11 p.m.? A cuddly blanket and sleep mask.
Four Seasons: Guests bring gifts suit-able for a particular season – beach towels or lemonade glasses for summer, pie plates and spices for fall.

1 package (16 ounces) frozen cheesecake22-24 lollipop or wooden craft sticks

1 tablespoon vegetable shorteningColored sprinkles or sugars½ cup Nestlé Toll House Semi-Sweet
Chocolate Mini Morsels (optional)
Line baking sheet with wax paper. Remove cheesecake from freezer; thaw for five minutes. Cut cheesecake into 22 to 24 small, even pieces. Press pieces of cheesecake, including crust, into ice cream scoop. Working quickly, shape into 1½-inch balls. Press one lollipop stick into each cheesecake ball. Place on prepared baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Microwave semi-sweet morsels and shortening in dry, medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on high power for one minute; stir. Morsels might retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until melted. Dip frozen cheesecake pops into melted chocolate; shaking off excess. Immediately deco-rate with colored sprinkles, sugars or mini morsels, if desired, before choco-late hardens. Working quickly, repeat with remaining cheesecake pops. Place on prepared baking sheet; freeze until ready to serve. Allow to soften for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Makes 22 to 24 pops.

experts agree that there are ways to manage the stress and make the planning process more enjoyable for everyone involved.
Expect stress. If you accept the fact that this is a stress-
ful time, you can let go of guilt about it and take precautionary measures to deal with it. Talk with your fi ancé and a close friend about helping you chill out when things get too tense. Come up with a non-judgmental code word they can use to let you know it’s time for a break. When you hear the code word, stop, take a deep breath and then set the planning aside for a while and do something non-wedding related.
Be realistic. A lot of brides set their expectations so
high – especially fi nancially – that they drive themselves (and everyone around them) crazy trying to meet them. There are many resources (Web sites, books, magazines, friends) that can help you pull off a lovely wedding on any budget.
Don’t try to please everyone.
It’s not possible. Nor is it reasonable to try. The wedding is about the bride and groom. You two need to decide what’s meaningful to you and what will express who you are. If his mother wants Cousin Jennie to play her bagpipe as you march down the aisle and you don’t care for the idea, it’s OK to say no. Come up with a polite response such as, “Thanks for your suggestion, but we’re going in a different direction.” Feelings
might get bruised, but ultimately it’s your day and it must please you and your fi ancé.
Delegate, delegate, delegate.
No matter how capable you are, no matter how nifty your organizer is, you can’t do everything by yourself. Nor should you, so stop feeling guilty. It’s OK to ask friends, family and the groom for help – as long as you do it nicely. Some churches or reception halls employ a wedding coordinator to help with details. They’ve done this before – you haven’t. Use them!
Take care of yourself. It’s always important to eat right, get
enough sleep and exercise, but it’s especially important during times of stress. You’ll feel more energized, be able to think more clearly and make better decisions. Besides, who wants to see a bride with dark circles under her eyes drag herself down the aisle?
Keep things in perspective.
The most important thing to remem-ber is that the wedding is only a one-day event. It’s just a party to celebrate the begin-ning of a life together. Too many brides feel enormous pressure to make the wedding perfect and they forget about building a solid marriage. Don’t lose yourself in the details of this one day. You have a lifetime of new memories to create – this is only one of them.
