But did you know this rhyme is merely the beginning of bridal superstitions and doesn't include all of them. What has come to be viewed as the traditional wedding dress "white" is a recent invention. Up until the Victorian Times brides decked themselves out in color. It was thought brides were entering in to new chapter of their life. It was the upper class who came up with the crazy exhibit of their wealth to wear a beautiful dress once. Unlucky brides made there own dresses, it was even more unlucky for her to see herself in her dress. Premature viewing was something that could prevent the marriage! Only when a bride to go to the ceremony could she view herself. The color of the gown was deemed critical in the marriage. A white wedding dress contrary to what we have read had little to do with virginity. Have a white dress is a modern superstition. Color in wedding dresses White - A clad bride who advertised her happiness, not purity. Black - Nothing should be worn black in wedding, it was thought to bring risk to the bride to become a widow. Green - Unfortunate color associated with fairies. Its wearings fortold a change into clothes of mourning. Green was forbidden even in food, no green vegetables. Purple - Considered out because it was favored by widows in their 2nd year of bereavement. Color in Poetry Married in white You have chosen right Married in Green Ashamed to be seen Married in Red Wish yourself dead Married in Blue You will always be true Married in Yellow Ashamed of your fellow Married in black You will wish yourself back Married in pink Of you he'll think]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/wifewag/milestones/38883 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/wifewag/milestones/38883 Sun, 28 Dec 2008 19:29:00 PST Well since my FH is an ex Motocross Racer.

A court in Australia has approved the use of Facebook, a popular social networking Web site, to notify a couple that they lost their home after defaulting on a loan. The Australian Capital Territory Supreme Court last Friday approved lawyer Mark McCormack's application to use Facebook to serve the legally binding documents after several failed attempts to contact the couple at the house and by e-mail. Australian courts have given permission in the past for people to be served via e-mail and text messages when it was not possible to serve them in person. McCormack, a lawyer for the lender the couple borrowed from, said that by the time he got the documents approved by the court late Tuesday for transmission, Facebook profiles for the couple had disappeared from public view. The page was apparently either closed or secured for privacy, following publicity about the court order. "It's somewhat novel, however we do see it as a valid method of bringing the matter to the attention of the defendant," McCormack said. Good thing I am in California. I know some people who would be in big trouble if they could get served in the U.S. this way]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/wifewag/milestones/37500 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/wifewag/milestones/37500 Tue, 16 Dec 2008 05:26:00 PST Band Aid - Do They Know It’s Christmas @ Yahoo!

You can get them with rhinestones, different colors and even order for the bridesmaids. SO instead of pinning money to you, it goes in the apron. I just came across this. I have never heard of it before. I am not having a money dance.

Stopped and got some Starbucks for the road and off we headed to Mendicino County. We drove to the Pacific Ocean and walked around. Took in the sights and looked at some shops downtown. We then went the alittle fishing cove where there was a small harbor and some resturants. The boats come in daily where you can buy just about anything fresh off the boat. We saw wild turkeys, deer, cows walking on the beach (I didn't have my camera for that shot) We then drove to Bodega Bay (Home of the Hitchcock Film "The Birds") We went and had a great seafood lunch at The Tides. Just hung out and enjoyed the day. Didn't think about wedding plans, bills or anything. Just became some beach bums for a day.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/wifewag/milestones/36012 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/wifewag/milestones/36012 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:31:00 PST First off I hope all of you ladies had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Mine was good, I had been sick in recent days, ended up at the hospital with a sinus infection and ear infection in both ears - lovely. But even on antibiotics, it was good to spend the holiday with my Dad who isn't in the best health in past months. There was 15 of us and 4 dogs. So the house was little crazy. We took a stroll down to the lake to let the dogs play and hang out. We actually took a short drive to the Indian Gaming Casino for a little slot machine action and a drink (picture shown) Then we headed back to the house for some Liars Dice, NFL Football and some holiday drinks. My Stepmom had a new idea to try out this year, she decorated the backyard in white Christmas lights and we had dinner outside. Sounds neat, however it was 45 degrees outside and some of us were freezing our asses off! All in all it was a good day.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/wifewag/milestones/35452 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/wifewag/milestones/35452 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 07:46:00 PST I wanted to give everyone a heads up that if you intend to give gift cards around the holidays, you need to be careful that the cards will be honored after the holidays. Stores that are planning to close after Christmas are still selling the cards through the holidays even though the cards will be worthless January 1. There is no law preventing them from doing this. On the contrary, it is referred to as 'Bankruptcy Planning). Below is a partial list of stores that you need to be cautious about. Circuit City (filed Chapter 11) Ann Taylor- 117 stores nationwide closing Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug ,and Catherine's to close 150 stores nationwide Eddie Bauer to close stores 27 stores and more after January Cache will close all stores Talbots closing down specialty stores J. Jill closing all stores (owned by Talbots) Pacific Sunwear (also owned by Talbots) GAP closing 85 stores Footlocker closing 140 stores mo re to close after January Wickes Furniture closing down Levitz closing down remaining stores Bombay closing remaining stores Zales closing down 82 stores and 105 after January Whitehall closing all stores Piercing Pagoda closing all stores Disney closing 98 stores and will close more after January. Home Depot closing 15 stores 1 in NJ ( New Brunswick ) Macys to close 9 stores after January Linens and Things closing all stores Movie Galley Closing all stores Pep Boys Closing 33 stores Sprint/Nextel closing 133 stores JC Penney closing a number of stores after January Ethan Allen closing down 12 stores. Wilson Leather closing down all stores Sharper Image closing down all stores K B Toys closing 356 stores Lowes to close down some stores Dillard's to close some stores]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/wifewag/milestones/35447 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/wifewag/milestones/35447 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 06:41:00 PST I have been going back and forth in my mind over this one. I want to take boudoir photos for Michael. But I am self conscious about my body. I use to be a size 7. Could eat what I wanted and didn't gain an ounce. Well, after having a child that all changed. I have struggled with my weight ever since. I flexuate between being a size 12 to 16 now which isn't so bad since I am 6ft tall. But things don't stay up where they use too - gravity has definitely won this battle. I wont to take some sexy photos but not so revealing. No one needs to see stretch marks, etc. I have some images below of some ladies looking hot but alittle covered up. What do you think?]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/wifewag/milestones/35230 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/wifewag/milestones/35230 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 11:35:00 PST Is it my computer? Am I a dork with a crappy connection? Or is this website just that packed with brides. I try to blog, load stuff or look at other wedding blogs and I get this error quite often. I can't tell you ladies how many times I load a photo and it errors out. I won't even tell you how long it took for my background to finally appear. It is so frustrating. Am I the only one that suffers from Page cannot be displayed Error Syndrome?]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/wifewag/milestones/35219 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/wifewag/milestones/35219 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 10:30:00 PST Well since we are not having kids, here is the closest thing I will get to having a son.]]>
