Selecting Your Wedding Day
THE MONTH
Choosing your wedding date is the first decision you and your fiancé make together. Whether you choose a date for sentimental reasons such as the day the two of
you first met, or whether the date is chosen for practical reasons, keep in mind that
you’ll need six to eight months to plan a formal wedding. A small, intimate gathering can take about three months to organize. June is still the most popular month
to be married in, followed closely by August, July, May and December. Discuss honeymoon plans with your fiancé and be mindful of the time of year your favorite
resort spot will be “in season.” Consider also the time of year most convenient for
you and your fiancé to be away from school or work.
THE DAY
Though Saturday is the most popular day of the week, a wedding may take place any
day accepted by religious custom. Friday evenings are also becoming popular and
are an advantage for a “long weekend” honeymoon.

Whether daytime or evening, the ceremony may be formal or informal. If the
evening wedding is formal, however, it is strictly so, and the entire wedding party
must be in formal dress. Six o’clock is the dividing hour for the afternoon and
evening ceremonies. Morning weddings are favored at high noon or half-past
twelve. Because of customs of some churches, nine and ten o’clock ceremonies are
equally desirous. The afternoon wedding at four or four-thirty is popular, although
many are held as early as three or three-thirty. Evening weddings are at eight or
eight-thirty and in some areas of the country, as early as six and as late as nine.
THE HOUR
Once you have an approximate time of year for your wedding in mind, check with
your clergyman. Some religions discourage marriages on certain days. You may find
your favorite church or synagogue already booked. Discuss the conflict with your
clergyman. Perhaps you can be married at a different time of day than you originally planned (in the morning or evening, for example).
Check with the person (banquet manager, caterer) who handles receptions at your
preferred site to see what dates are free. Only you and your fiancé can decide if you
would rather choose a different date if a particular site is unavailable, or if you prefer
to stick with your original date and investigate other places and services. The availability of the hall you select, the church where the ceremony will be performed, and
the attendants you’d like in your wedding party, must be determined before the date
can be considered “set.”

Engagements & Weddings
ENGAGEMENT
When you decide to marry, you and your fiancé should first inform both of your
parents, preferably in person. If your families don’t know each other, arrange a
meeting as soon as possible. Generally the bride’s parents are responsible for the
announcement, either by sending a detailed release to the newspapers, or at a
party, or both. An engagement party is an ideal way of telling relatives and
friends. If there is to be no engagement party, write or telephone relatives and
friends before your announcement is released. Check local and hometown
requirements in advance and announce within one year of your engagement.
INVITATIONS
The bride’s family determines the number of guests. The groom and his family
must furnish the bride their invitation list as early as possible, so that the bride
may combine it with her list and remove any duplicates. Wedding invitations are
sent out approximately four weeks prior to the wedding. Informal wedding invitations should be short, personal notes, telegrams, or telephone calls. If an
engagement is broken, all gifts should be returned, except perishable ones.
WEDDING
ARRANGING THE WEDDING
No bride should make plans for a formal wedding unless her groom accepts all
it entails. If your wedding is to be an elaborate formal affair, professional management should be retained if possible.
For either a formal or informal wedding, there is no substitute for a professional. It is very necessary that you have made certain decisions and arrangements
before consulting any of the professional firms listed in this publication for
details. You should know your budget, the style of your wedding, date, time,
location, number of guests, attendants and have fabric swatches for coordinating the color scheme.
WEDDING EXPENSES—Who Pays for What
The bride’s family is entirely responsible for the wedding ceremony. The groom’s
family may offer to share in the cost of the reception, and the bride’s family may
accept, if they wish. Wedding costs, by tradition, are divided as follows:
12
The Bride (or family) Pays for:
Invitations and Announcements
The Bridal Outfit and Trousseau
Bridal Photographs
All costs of the Reception
Flowers for the Church, Attendants and Reception
Music at the Church and Reception
Sexton, Organist and Choir Fees
All rented equipment for large Weddings and Receptions
A Limousine for the Bride and Cars for Transportation
Groom‘s Wedding Ring
Groom’s Gift
Gifts for the Bride’s Attendants
Lodging (if necessary) for out-of-town Bridesmaids
Bride’s Personal Stationery
The Groom (or family) Pays for:
‘
Bride’s Engagement and Wedding Rings

Clergyman’s Fee
Bride’s Flowers
Boutonnieres, Gloves, Ties for Men of Wedding Party

Gifts for Best Man and Ushers
Lodging (if necessary) for out-of-town Ushers
OPTIONAL EXPENSES
• Bride’s bouquet, usually gift of the groom, may be purchased by the bride’s
family.
• Corsages for mothers and grandmothers are usually provided by the groom,
may be purchased by bride for her own mother and grand-mother.
• Bachelor dinner is usually given by groom or family, but may be given by
bride’s family or friends.
• Rehearsal dinner is usually given by groom or family, but may be given by
bride’s family or relatives.
• Attendants’ dresses are usually bought by each girl, but the bride may provide
them, if she wishes.
THE REHEARSAL
All weddings with more than two attendants must be rehearsed before the event
and at the convenience of the clergyman. Have child attendants there. Preferably
the female child can practice walking in her wedding attire and throwing the
flowers. The male child should practice with his pillow. Often the rehearsal is
held in the evening, preceded or followed by a dinner for the bridal party. If you
have not presented gifts to the members of your wedding party, they may be
given at this time.

The Bridal Registry
The Bridal Registry is the most convenient means to help your friends and relatives
choose gifts that you really want. It is a free service offered to give you the opportunity
to list the items you really want and need.
More couples than ever before are registering their gift selections at specialty or
department stores.
The registries provide trained staffs knowledgeable in product, pricing, trends, quality, and stock positions. These people can answer all your questions and give you
informed guidance.
WHY SHOULD YOU REGISTER?
It makes selecting a gift easier for your guests; they are assured that their choice is
something you will like and really want. You will also avoid gifts that are not compatible with your lifestyle and you won't have to return duplicates.
WHEN?
You should register as soon as you become engaged. Then it will also be helpful for
guests who will be purchasing gifts for your engagement parties and showers.
WHO?
Both the bride and groom should take part in the planning of their household and
deciding what will go into it.
WHAT?
Everything you will need in your new home should be registered. Be as specific as possible. Note pattern, color, style number and manufacturer. These details will help family and friends.
HOW?
Once you have decided on your particular style, visit the bridal registrar; she can
answer any questions about coordinating all the elements that go into furnishing and
accessorizing your first home to help you create a warm and happy environment.
As you choose your items, the registrar will record these as gift ideas. As people call
and purchase items, the list will reflect this. If the store has several locations, your selections will be recorded throughout the system so that guests can shop in whichever store
location is most convenient for them. Most stores have a free preprinted form; ask for a
copy and take it home to review with the groom. This will give you more time and privacy in which to discuss each item before sitting down with the registrar.

P
Planning Your Reception
YOUR WEDDING AT HOME
Even if couples and their families can afford large, elaborate weddings, many prefer to get married at home. Home weddings can be held at any time of the day or
evening and can be followed by simple refreshments or a full course meal. The
house or apartment is usually decorated with flowers or potted plants, and if the
wedding takes place in the evening, candles can be carefully placed to supplement
soft incandescent lighting. The bride can wear a wedding dress or a street-length
dress or suit, but anything longer than a sweep train or fingertip veil would be
obtrusive and unmanageable.
There are lots of styles for home weddings, and they can be as elaborate or
uncomplicated as you want. A mid-morning ceremony could be followed by a
budget brunch of croissants, quiche and salad; and bloody marys, mimosas and
wine could take the place of highballs and champagne. And, a cocktail reception
is fine for a late-afternoon wedding. The idea is to open your home and your heart
to the friends and relatives you’ve chosen to share your happiness.
GARDEN WEDDING
Garden weddings offer the additional space required for more choices. You can
rent a tent, invite more people, install a dance floor and hire a band for the occasion.
Picture hats and formal wedding attire can be worn. If space is no problem, you
can have dinner or buffet.
RECEPTION IN A HALL OR CLUB
Be sure to reserve the hall as early as possible. Check the room size. Do not sign
any agreements unless you are absolutely sure that you have exactly the deal you
want. Warmth and consideration shown to you at the time of booking is usually
the same kind of service your guests will receive when they arrive.
A good caterer will be able to customize a meal for the cost you can afford. Don’t
be afraid to ask questions or suggest dishes that you definitely want included.

What do lighting
stores, art galleries,
and hardware stores
have in common?
Because today’s bride is venturing
beyond the traditional gifts of china
and silver, these type businesses have
found a gift opportunity by offering
bridal registries. Both couples and wellwishers are finding housewares and
home furnishing presents to be very sensible gifts.
Bridal registry lists today are as varied
as the types of brides there are and one’s
imagination is the only limit to the
extent of these lists. Gift possibilities can
range from lamps, mirrors, pictures and
pieces of art, to pottery, baskets, and oneof-a-kind stoneware.
While brides have traditionally
dragged their prospective grooms to
china departments only to hear “I really
don’t care. Whatever you want is fine
with me,” they are finding a much different response when entering a hardware
store with their husband-to-be. Grooms
find themselves enjoying participating in
the selection of ladders, tools, and tool
chests. For the couple already moving
into their first home, a mailbox or lawn
and garden equipment including rakes,
shovels, and mowers are important gifts
to consider.
The idea of having a bridal registry is
to provide a convenient way to help your
family and friends choose gifts you really
want or need. While many brides still
want and need to be registered for china
and silver patterns, a lot of brides are
finding registry departments in lighting
stores, art galleries, and hardware stores
offer exactly what they need.

Engaged...
Demetria White and Jeremy McGhee • April 6th, 2016
A hurried dash…That was the beginning for
Demi & Jeremy. It was April 7, 2014 on the
campus of Auburn University at Montgomery.
Demi worked diligently in the computer lab on
an assignment all the while unbeknownst to her,
she had caught the eye of a handsome stranger.
Mesmerized, he scrambled to complete his work
to hopefully make time for an introduction;
however, he was not quick enough as she had
begun to pack to leave before he could finish.
Once he exited the lab, he noticed Demi was
quite a distance away. “Excuse me ma’am!” he
shouted as he attempted to catch up to her.
Jeremy went on to explain his reasons for stopping her & asked if could take her out to lunch
sometime. She agreed & they went to lunch the
next week.
The connection was so strong, chemistry so
apparent, that they went on a dinner date later
that same evening. This was just the beginning of
the divine encounter between the two. A whirlwind romance ensued. Endless conversations
revealed not only similar goals for the pair, but
equally
similar foundations. As one of the
couple’s favorite Bible verses reads, “For I know
the plan I have for you,” declared the Lord, “plans
to prosper you & not to harm you, plans to give
you the future you hope for.” Jeremiah 29:11
After getting settled into his career as a police
officer, Jeremy proposed a year later on the day of
Demi’s graduation from nursing school. The two
are planning an intimate wedding in April 2016
in Cancun, Mexico in the presence of their
closest family & friends.

Wedding Rings
If your fiancé did not surprise you with an
engagement ring when he proposed, you can
enjoy the fun of choosing one together.
Although some couples choose from the vast
array of precious stones available, the diamond remains the most desirable.
A diamond’s unmatched brilliance, hardness and rarity are what make it so precious.
Making a wise diamond selection requires a
certain amount of knowledge both on your
part and a reputable jeweler. Contrary to first
impressions, diamond value is not determined by size alone. The most important
things you should know about diamonds are
the five Cs: Cut, Clarity, Color, Carat, and
Certification.
Cut refers to the shape and the skill and
precision through which a diamond is transformed into a brilliant, faceted gemstone. The
most popular cuts are: brilliant, oval, marquise, pear-shape, and emerald.
ROUND
HEART
OVAL
PEAR
MARQUISE
EMERALD
Clarity refers to the absence of serious
flaws or blemishes in the stone when viewed
through ten times magnification.
Color refers to body color, not the surface
that reflects light. Diamonds come in a variety of shades. Your jeweler can advise you on
this.
Carat refers to total weight of the stone. A
carat is divided into 100 points. Remember
that cut, clarity, color and carat combined
determine the overall quality.
Certification refers to a process developed
by the International Gemological Institute
that provides unquestioned proof of your diamond’s identity. For further information,
consult your jeweler.

How to Address Invitations
Use your file cards and carefully address the envelopes, marking each card with a
check as you complete it. Address both the inner and outer envelopes in the same hand.
Always write “and.” Symbols are not permissible, except when used as a title. (Ex.:
Dr., Rev.)
“John” not “J.” No initials are permissible. If you do not know what the initials stand
for, omit them. Never write “and Family.” Inside envelope should have “and Guest” (or
name).
Write out “Forty-First.” Use no figures except for the house numbers and the zip code.
Write out “East,” “West,” “North,” “South.”
Write out “Street,” “Boulevard,” “Road” and so on.
Spell out the State—Alabama—again, no abbreviations.
All invitations must be handwritten, preferably in permanent black ink. Never typewrite an address on a formal invitation.
Children under sixteen may be included by writing their first names in a line below
their parents’ names on the inner envelope. Older children in the family should receive
a separate invitation.
The inner envelope is inserted in the outer envelope upper side up so that the writing faces the back of the outer envelope. Place invitation in the inner, ungummed envelope. Folded invitations are inserted with the folded edge down. Always send invitations
and announcements sealed, with stamps (no meters), first-class mail.
Invitations should be sent four to six weeks prior to the wedding. Wedding announcements are addressed in the same way as invitations but are mailed the day of the wedding.
1. A single-fold invitation
inserted into an envelope
with flap left open.
2. Inserting a single-fold
invitation with an enclosure card.
3. Enclosing a reply card
and envelope.
4. Placing an inner envelope into an outer envelope.
