Its a blur of white lace, pink taffeta, and a bunch of hot men in tuxedos. Something to keep in mind while planning a wedding is that all weddings are pretty much the same, unless one is memorably different of course. Sounds simple enough, but how does one create a wedding that significantly differs | | from the standard blushing bride, white dress, classy bridesmaids, perfect setting, to be followed by a bunch of food, heavy drinking, and a gift of about $100 per person Whats the trick to turning the tradition of marriage into something that varies enough from tradition to make it new, different, exciting, and memorable
Details are important, but theyre not always the answer. If you bedazzle everything with pink Swarovski crystals, no one will care that you spent thousands on your decorations when they try to remember your wedding three months later.

Does it do something Do you need batteries for it Is someone going to put it in their purse, take it home, and have a place for it on their shelf Maybe its a paperweight and can be used in an office. Maybe its a decorative soap in a functional color that would match almost any bathroom.

If its a disposable camera or a picture frame, then the guest is almost guaranteed to keep it with them.
