Marry the Person

Your spirits are high!  You've received the proposal of a lifetime and it's time to plan the wedding.  Don't make the same mistake others have made.  Plan for the marriage more than one glorious day.  We all love a good wedding, but the truth is that a lifetime of wedded bliss is way more important.

You need to know where you stand, as well as the ideas you and your fiancé have regarding spouses.  Many men and women possess a cookie cutter version of what it means to be a wife or husband specifically.  This image needs to be discussed because it existed long before the two of you met.  Find out if these views match and if they're realistic.  Ask your mate if you fit their mental picture of wife or husband.

This is the time to have thorough talks and question everything. Religious institutions offer pre-marital counseling, but at the very least make a list of things to discuss.  Your conversations should include everything from the children you don't have and their religion to elder parents moving in out of possible necessity.  Be creative. People feel like they are getting married with unconditional love, while most actually have very real conditions.  You need to know them before the walk down the aisle or a trip to the divorce lawyer.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

The royal wedding was lovely.  It was the perfect combination of religion, tradition and elegance.  Even the weather graced the couple with sunshine on occasion.  Thankfully, the rain stayed away.

Catherine arrived in a Rolls Royce looking amazing.  She wore a gorgeous dress designed by Sarah Burton and a Cartier Tiara as her something borrowed from the Queen. The best man, Prince Harry, stole a glimpse of her coming down the aisle.  The dashing groom appeared overjoyed when he finally saw Catherine, reportedly saying, you look beautiful.

The royal couple traveled to their balcony appearance in a magnificent horse drawn carriage.  And, they did not disappoint. The crowd wanted to a kiss from William and Catherine, like Diana and Charles displayed so long ago and they got it.  Apparently the Duke's parents started a new tradition, but William and Catherine made it their own by kissing not once, but twice.

Later, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge drove off in Williams Aston Martin.  The customized license plate read, Just Wed.

Prince William & Kate Middleton's Royal Wedding 4/29/11

The royal wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton is fast approaching.  It will be held on April 29, 2011 at Westminster Abby, according to royalwedding.aol.com.  Prince Harry will of course witness the ceremony front and center, as his brother's Best Man.  I like the rest of the world can only imagine how it will be.  One thing is certain, it will be an impressive event that is highly anticipated throughout the world.

I remember being a young girl watching Princess Diana's wedding to Prince Charles.  It was amazing, after all, every little girl wants to be a princess.  As a woman, I cannot fathom what Ms. Middleton may be going through.  It's a privilege to marry into the royal family, but there must also be an added pressure that exist.  Soon, Kate Middleton will become part of the regal community, transforming from commoner to royalty.  I'll be watching this one too.

As for the soon-to-be royal couple, I wish them well.  May God bless them always!
