Clearing out my emails today and came across a blog article titled "Why We Give Wedding Gifts". Informative if nothing else, but finding out that Macy's began their bridal registry services in 1924.
Times have for sure changed. Statistically, more couples have lived together before marriage, and most retailers says that registering for appliances and household goods are down. Personally, I blame it more on the fact that a Vitamix is $600, and people aren't comfortable asking someone to buy them a $600 blender.

Father Of The Bride - Movie
Father of the bride by lotti
I will admit to enjoying the version with Steve Martin more so that the Spencer Tracy/Elizabeth Taylor version. Both however, rank in my Top Ten Wedding Movies.

Biblical Power Couples: Priscilla and Aquila
Happy Sunday Everyone.
I skipped church today and slept in. So as the day has worn on, I've felt inclined to get some bible in my spirit today. Feeling like I also need to make a blog pot since I haven't in almost a week.
Thus, I bring you: Power Couples of the Bible.
Priscilla and Aquila were tentmakers that were exiled under an emperor that decided that all Jewish people were to leave Rome, in the year 49.
They lived with Paul for 18 months and according to bible scholars were considered a part of the early converts of Judaism to Christianity. During this time they lived, worked and travel with Paul and are considered as part of the Seventy Disciples. That is, some of the earlier students of Jesus.
They are both mentioned several times in the New Testament. They are, however, always mentioned together. Never separately. Being described as each other mate, friend, partner and companion should be something that every marriage strives for. Inseparable and equal.
How do you and your mate define your equality with each other?

Are you looking for one of a kind type jewelry for your wedding day?
If so, you should consider Manifest Design.

Each piece is created by initially sculpting it in clay. It is then cast in brass and aluminum.
Each piece is entirely handcrafted and is not mass-produced. Because when you think about it, who needs mass-produced jewelry on their wedding day?
You can order the pieces in metals described as Espresso, Goldtone and Silvertone.
