75 Ways to Save Money on Your Wedding

1. Probably the single most effective way to slash the cost of a wedding is to trim the guest list, says wedding planner Charlene Hein of Everlasting Memories by Char, in Lakewood, Colorado. That’s because the biggest expenses—food and alcohol—are figured on a per-person basis and will obviously increase as the number of people you’re inviting rises.
2. Know the value of your business to a hotel and use that information to negotiate a good deal, advises Anthony Milkey, director of resort events at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa, in Dana Point, California. For example, you might be able to get your catering fee reduced if you let the manager know that you expect to have guests renting, say, thirty hotel rooms for two nights and eating most of their meals on property.
3. When negotiating, make sure you’re speaking to someone with the power to make the changes or substitutions you’re hoping for (at a hotel or banquet hall, this would most likely be a director of sales or catering; at a florist’s shop this might be the manager or owner). Lower-level employees simply may

“How To Choose A Life Partner” – Dr. Daniel Olukoya, MFM

B

Being quotes from a message, Choosing A Life Partner, by Dr. Daniel Olukoya, the General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFMM) as delivered at a youth church.

- Some people want to get married only so they can have sex. 5 hours. Then you marry someone who can’t keep up.
- Some marry because they want to be married. Do you become a soldier because you like the uniform? Or a lawyer cos of the wig?
- Stop joining bridal trains if you feel it is putting you under pressure. Don’t do again
- When you write down a year you must be married by, anxiety turns to agitation, then to panic, & then you marry a panic husband
- Some people rush into marriage so they won’t get jilted again. When I see people like that though, I congratulate them because God has delivered them from evil, from the person who isn’t theirs
- Stop joining bridal trains if you feel it is putting you under

How to Choose the Right Partner

Do you have an ideal partner sketched out in your head? Perhaps you have a shopping list of “must have” traits. If so, you are not alone. The most common characteristics people want in their partners include honesty, intelligence, sense of humor, stability, communication, and common hobbies and interests.

Advice for Parents Who are Divorcing

Put your children's needs first.
Accept that you have a responsibility to your children to do everything you can to ensure that the divorce doesn't cost them any more than it already has and that is absolutely necessary. Children don't have the voice and the ability to tell you what they think, so it is important to make their best interest your best interest. You have to be fiduciaries where you put their interest above your own. Take an honest look at yourself and what you're doing to impact these children. Tell your children that they are number one: "You're the most
important. You are first in everything that we think and do, and we're going to take care of you.





Start a new relationship.Don't think of the divorce as ending the relationship with your ex-spouse. Instead, think of it as beginning a new one. Your new relationship as divorced parents involves being co-allies, nurturers and protectors of your children. Consider going to post-marital counseling where you can create a parenting plan, resolve your differences and finish your emotional business, so you can clearly see what is in the best interest of these children. It's hard to be objective when there is so much emotion involved. Find a way to make your children feel that everywhere they turn they see love, support, and appreciation.

Communicate clearly with your children.
