Expert Advice About Beach Wedding Planning And Destination Wedding Locations.
I want to give away small leaf bottles filled with pure maple syrup away at my wedding for favors. Can I do that without it spoiling? I know it needs to be refrigerated after opening, so I’m concerned about re-bottling and leaving the favors on the table. Thanks!
Make it in our modern language, I tried and couldn’t get it done… >.>
PUCK
How now, spirit! whither wander you?
Fairy
Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire,
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon’s sphere;
And I serve the fairy queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green.
The cowslips tall her pensioners be:
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours,
In those freckles live their savours:
I must go seek some dewdrops here
And hang a pearl in every cowslip’s ear.
Farewell, thou lob of spirits; I’ll be gone:
Our queen and all our elves come here anon.
PUCK
The king doth keep his revels here to-night:
Take heed the queen come not within his sight;
For Oberon is passing fell and wrath,
Because that she as her attendant hath
A lovely boy, stolen from an Indian king;
She never had so sweet a changeling;
And jealous Oberon would have the child
Knight of his train, to trace the forests wild;
But she perforce withholds the loved boy,
Crowns him with flowers and makes him all her joy:
And now they never meet in grove or green,
By fountain clear, or spangled starlight sheen,
But, they do square, that all their elves for fear
Creep into acorn-cups and hide them there.
Fairy
Either I mistake your shape and making quite,
Or else you are that shrewd and knavish sprite
Call’d Robin Goodfellow: are not you he
That frights the maidens of the villagery;
Skim milk, and sometimes labour in the quern
And bootless make the breathless housewife churn;
And sometime make the drink to bear no barm;
Mislead night-wanderers, laughing at their harm?
Those that Hobgoblin call you and sweet Puck,
You do their work, and they shall have good luck:
Are not you he?
PUCK
Thou speak’st aright;
I am that merry wanderer of the night.
I jest to Oberon and make him smile
When I a fat and bean-fed horse beguile,
Neighing in likeness of a filly foal:
And sometime lurk I in a gossip’s bowl,
In very likeness of a roasted crab,
And when she drinks, against her lips I bob
And on her wither’d dewlap pour the ale.
The wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale,
Sometime for three-foot stool mistaketh me;
Then slip I from her bum, down topples she,
And ‘tailor’ cries, and falls into a cough;
And then the whole quire hold their hips and laugh,
And waxen in their mirth and neeze and swear
A merrier hour was never wasted there.
But, room, fairy! here comes Oberon.
Fairy
And here my mistress. Would that he were gone!
Enter, from one side, OBERON, with his train; from the other, TITANIA, with hers
OBERON
Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania.
TITANIA
What, jealous Oberon! Fairies, skip hence:
I have forsworn his bed and company.
OBERON
Tarry, rash wanton: am not I thy lord?
TITANIA
Then I must be thy lady: but I know
When thou hast stolen away from fairy land,
And in the shape of Corin sat all day,
Playing on pipes of corn and versing love
To amorous Phillida. Why art thou here,
Come from the farthest Steppe of India?
But that, forsooth, the bouncing Amazon,
Your buskin’d mistress and your warrior love,
To Theseus must be wedded, and you come
To give their bed joy and prosperity.
OBERON
How canst thou thus for shame, Titania,
Glance at my credit with Hippolyta,
Knowing I know thy love to Theseus?
Didst thou not lead him through the glimmering night
From Perigenia, whom he ravished?
And make him with fair AEgle break his faith,
With Ariadne and Antiopa?
TITANIA
These are the forgeries of jealousy:
And never, since the middle summer’s spring,
Met we on hill, in dale, forest or mead,
By paved fountain or by rushy brook,
Or in the beached margent of the sea,
To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind,
But with thy brawls thou hast disturb’d our sport.
Therefore the winds, piping to us in vain,
As in revenge, have suck’d up from the sea
Contagious fogs; which falling in the land
Have every pelting river made so proud
That they have overborne their continents:
The ox hath therefore stretch’d his yoke in vain,
The ploughman lost his sweat, and the green corn
Hath rotted ere his youth attain’d a beard;
The fold stands empty in the drowned field,
And crows are fatted with the murrion flock;
The nine men’s morris is fill’d up with mud,
And the quaint mazes in the wanton green
For lack of tread are undistinguishable:
The human mortals want their winter here;
No night is now with hymn or carol blest:
Therefore the moon, the governess of floods,
Pale in her anger, washes all the air,
That rheumatic diseases do abound:
And thorough this distemperature we see
The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts
Far in the fresh lap of the crimson rose,
And on old Hiems’ thin and icy crown
An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds
Is, as in mockery, set: the spring, the summer,
The childing autumn, angry winter, change
Their wonted liveries, and
I’m looking to make heart lollipop bouquets for my wedding favors and need to find clear-colored ones. I can’t seem to find them anywhere, just colored ones. Can someone please tell me where I can find them? Thank you kindly.
We are paying for our own wedding, and the budget is gonna be tight enough. What’s the etiquette on giving favors? Actually, more importantly in my head, what’s the purpose of them? Are we expected to have wedding favors for everyone that attends the wedding? Or just for the wedding party? I’m a bit confused. THanks!
Well my couzins are both surgeons (man and women lol) and they make a lot of money yearly. They just called my parents and invited them to their wedding and told them all the details.
How much do you think this will cost??
They are taking a first class flight out to hawaii to get married on the beach. They are paying for her mom and dads flight out and his mom and dads first class flight out to hawaii. Then spending a day there and having a party blah blah. She is wearing a oscar de la renta gown and jewlery.
The second celebration:
Then they are having her mom and dad and his mom and dad get picked up in a limo to be driven to the st.patricks cathedral. The whole family is going to this one. Then they bought three suites at the ritz carlton: One for her parents,his parents and them. She has a different gown too .
They are having huge cakes and etc.
She is giving her mom a tiffany and co necklace for a gift (favor).etc
Isnt it a little overboared?
If you answered b4..two points for you !!! :]

Ew…shes my couzin and he will soon be..srry i worded it wrong
Shes also my couzin and my parents are paying for a lot of it so it is my business…and i already know i just wanted to know how much something like that would cost
how much you think something like that would cost***** or similair to it
I am getting married in November, and I need some ideas for inexpensive but tasteful wedding favors. We just got engaged and I have never had to help plan a wedding before, so any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Ok, I’m planning to have a sea-themed wedding and I think that it would be really personal (and inexpensive) to paint everyone’s names on stones that I would get from our local beach. They would double up as place names and as favours that people could take home. I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this? Should I be looking for any particular types of stones? Do I need to put some sort of base varnish on (I’m thinking like when you do your nails!) before painting the names on - otherwise will the paint not soak in? I don’t want to paint over the colour of the stones so it would have to be something clear. Then, what sort of paint should I use to do the names? And, finally, should I use some special varnish to seal them? Will they need ‘cooked’? To many questions - hopefully someone will be able to help 
What with the recent CA Supreme Court decision, I find myself in the surprising position of actually planning my own wedding. We had decided that we wanted to have a wedding on Labor Day weekend in the ruling went in our favor, but we didn’t make any hard plans pending the decision.
Well here I am now, making those hard plans and I only have until September (and no real budget). Now, I was never one of those girls who grew up dreaming about a wedding day, so frankly, I don’t have a flippin’ clue what to do now.
Here’s what I do have:
- a tentative guest list (~50)
- a location - a private beach in Malibu that belongs to my mother-in-law’s neighborhood (we already have a domestic partnership)
- I know we want to involve horses in the ceremony. We have our own horses and tack and whatnot
- A videographer
Past that… I don’t know any of the traditions, the ceremonies, nothin’. And while we will be making up our own unique ceremony, I’d like to know at least where to start.
Again, I have NO budget! lol… We’ve got a little saved up, but I’m trying to keep it under 00.
Oh, and we do have rings and the date - Labor Day weekend. Probably that saturday, but we’re leaving it a little flexible for now.
I plan to freeze them till the time comes for the wedding but I don’t want them to go stale. How long do sugared pecans last in the freezer?
My friend was supposed to be getting married in August at the beach (which is a 3hr drive from here) and she said she was trying to get pregnant, which I thought was a mistake. I thought she should get married and then concentrate on getting pregnant, especially since she is high risk. She just got pregnant and said they aren’t going to have the wedding, they MIGHT have a very small wedding with 15 people after the baby is born. I had already bought candles and candle holders with some stones and tulle to make the favors for the shower(enought for 50 people), plus paper plates, utensils, cups and decorations, since the shower was going to be in June. She also stated she still wants the bridal shower and wants me to invite the same 50 people even though they won’t be invited to the wedding. I think that is in poor taste, am I right? Then on top of it she also stated she wants me to throw her another baby shower, which I think is ridiculous. She gave everything away from the first baby who is only 6 and I don’t think we should be responsible for outfitting her all over again. Not to mention the money I have already spent on the bridal shower things plus the dress and shoes. I don’t know how to deal with this, please help.
for my favors i will be making little jars of homemade blackberry jam. i would like to have a phrase of some kind to print on the labels on one side, names & date on the other side. Any ideas?

I have some little favor boxes and I am putting candy hearts in them, but I wanted a favor that people could keep. but I am having a hard time finding anything small enough to fit in the box! and they need to be cheap, this is a last minute wedding, so the bugdet is tight. also it is a double wedding, so if it tied into that it would be great…..Thanx!
Oh, and any good wedding favor sites would be helpfull too, thanx!
27 of us will go to OBX next Summer. 13 adults, 14 kids aged 6 to 16. Some of us crave quiet privacy, while others among us want more nearby activities and don’t mind a more crowded beach. What are the good arguments in favor of one area vs. the other. This is a bit of a splurge for us as we celebrate a 50th wedding anniv, so we’ll go oceanfront.
We are having a Garden wedding. and for our favors we are going to by small pots and have our names/date calligraphed on them. We want to plant seeds in them and let it be a surprise as to what flowers will bloom. But we can’t even figure out what flower to put inthem!?!
Any ideas on A small (and will stay small) purple or blue flower that is low maintanance that we could plant in the pots?
