A Windsor groom-to-be planned their entire wedding for one year; identical to what his bride-to-be had stated she wanted, except she was completely in the dark about the wedding planning and totally surprised! She thought she was going to a retirement party. What a guy, what a gal –
Produced by http://www.youtube.com/user/GavinMichaelBooth (some adult language contained), in my hometown of Windsor, Ontario. This is perhaps the fastest delivery of wedding media- ever.
Some brides wait forever for their videos ; but Gavin delivered the video overnight and to date, there have been 23,000 views on You Tube in 24 hours, (see the wedding below on youtube) with major media coverage from all across the globe.
Gavin is an incredibly hard-working Producer/Director, with aspirations to meet his 12 biggest heroes. He has blogged for 1600 days straight, which is the equivalent of 4 years, and still has a bucket list of names that he wants to meet. They include Steven Spielberg, Johnny Depp, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, to name a few. He believes that the world operates with 6 degrees of separation and is hoping to realize his dream sooner, than later. He will be traveling to the annual Toronto Film Fest in September, and who knows who he will meet there!!!
Congrats to the couple- Shawn and Colleen Lippert. May you spend 100 years together, in harmony! What a delightfully romantic way to begin married life together. They’ll always have their story!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53-6dPB1hkg&feature=feedlik

Remember how important the commitment is that you will be making to each other.
Remember the feeling of when you first looked at your mate and knew you loved them- allow that feeling to grow and grow.
Keeping track of the countless details in planning your wedding can be a stressful experience. You will be surprised by the amount of time and energy needed to plan the wedding. Yet, a wedding only lasts one day; the intention of a marriage is to last for a lifetime. With about 50% of current marriages ending in divorce, it is vital for you to give serious attention to building a healthy, long-term marriage.
There are many programs offered to enrich your relationship and they are aimed at helping you develop your strengths as a couple. These are usually small group sessions offered by religious institutions or independent agencies that focus on relationship growth.
 Trevor Booth Photography, Windsor, Ontario- will travel Look for programs which emphasize building relationship skills such as communication and conflict resolution. These will remain with you long after the program is completed and provide a solid base for your relationship.
Relationship programs offer a personal assessment of key areas of your relationship, allowing you to examine strengths and growth areas you have as a couple.
You may want to consider participating in a program after you are married. Most couples need to make a number of adjustments in their first year of marriage. An enrichment program provides a forum for discussing issues that otherwise may be left unexplored.
As a couple you must remember to care for yourself, first. Look to have a relationship where you are accessible and ready to “be there” when your partner needs you. This is the commitment and joy that marriage should bring and you should have a place, where you feel supported and can speak freely about your inner heart without the fear of rejection.
Giving compliments help keep your relationship grow. It’s easy to do, and it encourages your partner to do the same. You’re more likely to focus on the strengths of your marriage and the positive things that drew you to each other and brought you together.
Like a wedding, a relationship program requires an investment of time, energy, honesty and money; but they pay dividends for your marriage for years to come.
The decision to change your name is a personal one that some brides choose to address. There are many options, but only you and your future spouse can decide what’s best for you. You may decide to retain your maiden name for an variety of reasons; the primary one, an established career, where everyone knows your name.
 Brandon Scott Photography, Windsor, Ontario- will travel You might choose to use your maiden name professionally, while legally sharing one name. This can be the best solution when you have established valuable name recognition in your chosen career.
Hyphenating your name is another possibility and is a useful way to honour both family names. Which name comes first is again, up to the two of you.
Some couples have created a new name for their new union. The last names of Apple & Smith could become the new name, Applesmith.
If you decide to change your name it is imperative to notify your bank, the post office and Canada Revenue Agency, to name but a few. Make a list of your monthly bills such as credit cards, get new application forms for your passport and drivers license. Notify the post office, club memberships, magazine subscriptions and advise your Doctor so your, medical records can be adjusted. The sooner you put in for the changes, the sooner you can move forward in your new union.

The Week of May 30th in Review
By Paul Pannone
The shortened Memorial Day work week gave wedding vendors a chance to check how times have changed, as a great number say volume decline over the past decade no longer make three-day holiday weekends a slam-dunk busy time. Reports of declining sales downplayed by wedding retailers does not change facts; a lower part of the population getting married and greater competition does not create a healthy environment for wedding related goods and services.
eWedNewz is watching specific cases where market leaders are showing the best results. Companies leveraging recognized brands, perceived value and the ability to reach consumers show the best results, as see by this week’s top story. After a decade of decline the men’s formal wear category shows improvement led primarily by the efforts of the tuxedo business’ main supplier, FLOW. Stepping outside the confines of a limited-thinking trade environment, company owners make plans to upgrade all portions of their business but this time, include the very reason for their existence; consumers.
The unprecedented approach is paying off, shown by results of choice selection from consumers demanding recognized brands, led by Calvin Klein. FLOW products appear in a growing number of promotional events coupled with plans to expand distribution to capitalize on the growing trend of grooms purchasing their wedding apparel.
Members of the Wedding Water Cooler discussion group talked about the current bad economic news and growing concerns for the wedding industry. “Of course the news and information is out there but I feel it will serve us better if we look for the silver lining in reporting,” feels Sheryl Davies. Davies, a market leader in Windsor, Ontario, provides value to her advertisers and marketing partners, in the wake of several years of recessionary spending and job losses due to the challenges facing car manufacturers. “We were hit hard up here but we managed to stay focused on reasons why people advertise to begin with. We changed our format beyond print long ago and decided to partner with our clients, showing them the value of multi-media marketing. Guess what– it’s working,” said Davies in a recent interview.
Davies and a growing panel of wedding experts participating in the discussion group say they’re looking past wedding reports, data and fairy dust, connecting with current brides that are planning events, and not look back at surveys involving ones forced to plan during the worse economic time since the Great Depression.
A labor dispute with Vera Wang remains in the top news stories. Ed McWilliams, Representative for the New York City council of Carpenters provided photos of recent protesting outside Vera Wang headquarters. The issue remains unresolved.
