Thanksgiving is upon us.  And one thing we know, is that the number of engagements spikes between Thanksgiving and New Years.  As if the holidays weren’t exciting enough, there are little velvet boxes in underwear drawers all over the country just waiting for their moment.

We in the wedding industry are always thankful to be a part of the lives of our brides and grooms.  We don’t just plan weddings though – we can help out with engagement surprises, and special arrangements.  Want to pick her up in a Cinderella carriage? A room covered in roses?  A mariachi band outside your house? Done, and done.

The holidays are full of special moments. Your moment is once in a lifetime: call for help brainstorming a proposal to remember.

My Little Advice Shop: Men and Holiday Shopping

We know. You hate holiday shopping. Women expect the world, so you roll Santa Style and try to find it for her on Christmas Eve. These days, there’s a better way, and it makes you look like a rock star under the tree. The key? Keeping an eye on the magazines and websites your honey likes.

  • All sorts of publications do “gift guides” in the December issue of their magazine/paper. Real Simple is a magazine with terrific taste, and detailed gift ideas for the different people in your life. The newspapers do them too, so keep an eye out.
  • Another option is a website like Red Envelope. They offer a curated selection of gifts to choose from as opposed to wandering the Internet, overwhelmed by choices. Their sale section has some great stuff right now.
  • Shop early, as featured items can sell out. Then relax, and wave at Santa as he goes by, instead of trying to keep up.   Shop nice, y’all!

My Little Marital Advice Shop: Setting Yourself Up To Fail (cough – Kim Kardashian)

Yahoo’s OMG! big scoop today – Kim Kardashian Says Married Life So Far Has ‘Not Been Ideal’

I have three reactions.  From three perspectives.

1)  Perspective: Jewish Grandmother

Ideal? Who ever said anything about ideal? This is marriage sweetheart!  It takes work. And patience.  And matzoh ball soup.

2)  Perspective: Mine ( a year into a very happy marriage to a wonderful husband)

During wedding planning, don’t fall too deep into Ponies & Rainbows fairy-tale land.  They sweep up the rose petals, and suddenly there’s this thing called day-to-day life  If you’ve been obsessed with being the Princess Bride, the turning back into a pumpkin part is rough.

3) Perspective: your average fourth grader

Um, how does she expect things to be good? She’s making her new husband live with her sister, her baby, and the guy who’s the baby’s dad.  And they’re on TV.

Bottom line?  Know that life is never “ideal” to begin with, and you’re a hundred miles ahead of Kim Kardashian.

Hasta la blogsta-
