Celebrate Father's Day
There’s a saying that everyday is a children’s day, consequently two
days of the year have been named as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. The concept
of honouring parents was initially the honouring of the mother who was
traditionally the carer of children. Only subsequently was it decided that
fathers also play a part in their children’s welfare.
Father’s day is celebrated on the second Sunday in September. The day is
thought to be fitting for the family to get together. Often, it is also the time
when a daughter or a son might bring their partner to introduce to their
parents. The celebration can become quite gargantuan when families begin to
join up with their predecessors and their families. Inevitably sons and
daughters, especially of the teenage verity, begin to rebel against having to
spend a day with old and unknown uncles and aunts, and even great, great uncles
and aunts.
In order to avoid this friction it is usual for the immediate family to
celebrate the occasion by a breakfast in bed for dad. If breakfast in bed does
not appeal - and this is true for many parents - the next best thing is to
allow him to sleep the morning through, with a late breakfast for all when the
parent eventually gets up.
The older Father, with his brothers and sisters, may then celebrate the
Day with his own parents and great parents by taking them out to lunch or have
a family barbecue or morning or afternoon tea. In the meantime, their own
teenage or grown-up children can do their own thing.
Gifts become harder the older parents get. Those living in small
spaces may find it hard to accommodate large gifts, and appreciate those that
are wholly practical or symbolic of the family unity. For the father there
might be his very own, extra comfortable chair, or even paid golf lessons at
his local club. For the older parent there might be tickets for a short trip to
a place he has always wanted to go and has not been able to afford.
The cake usually provided for Father’s day is anything the parents
enjoy, but is often decorated like a birthday cake with an appropriate message.
If one of the children is currently engaged the invited guest might consider
bringing a special cake for the parents as a recognition that he or she is in
the process of becoming a member of the family.

12 Ways to Personalise a Ceremony
1. To send out the invitations, or thank-you cards, order stamps from the
post office which can be personalised with the photograph of those in whose
honour the ceremony is being held.
2. Buy a miniature treasure chest. Use it either to create memories or as a
time capsule. Depending on the type of ceremony, included in the chest could be
cards – birthday cards for a child right to the age of 18 - photographs,
favourite poems or sayings or advise, small gifts, beginning of a coin
collection, stamp collection, popular CDs , up to date Guinness Book of
Records, pebbles with each guests name or good wish written on, good luck
symbols.
3. Create a wishing well, and have guests
write their wishes on attractive coloured paper and drop them in as part of the
ceremony.
4. Provide a photo board for your
photographs of the celebratory party as well as the important people in their
lives.
5. Order a personalised candle which can
include names, dates, photographs and decorations meaningful for the person or
persons concerned.
6. Have a video or a slide show of the
important events in the person or persons’ lives.
7. Create a video of all the guests who
will be present at the ceremony, asking them to offer their good wishes or
share something insightful about the ceremonial person.
8. Dig a hole for a tree or a bush, ask each guest to take a handful of soil
and as they place it around the tree in turn, ask them to make a silent wish
for the person or persons concerned.
9. For such ceremonies as a funeral, naming or a renewal of wedding vows,
create a certificate with important happenings on the date of their birth.
10. To give visual dimension to the ceremony release balloons, doves. Toss
over the celebrating person or persons confetti, rose petals, herb mixtures,
non-toxic glitter.
11. Get everyone present to blow bubbles
in the air as at the same time.
12. Provide personalised certificates of the
event, or, in the case of a naming ceremony have certificate explaining thechild’s name and its characteristics.

Special Day
From
the beginning of time love has been an excuse for numerous celebrations of
various styles. The extravagance of some has brought people to the brink of
bankruptcy, has caused bank managers heart palpitations and parents, panic
attacks.
And
yet, though much money and even more time is expanded on the planning of these
events, for every vibrant celebration there are dozen that are less than
exhilarating.
All
celebrations of love are like little dramas, needing the right scenes, the
right script, the right players. Celebrating Love’s Special Moments is all
about taking the event and placing it in the right context, with the
appropriate accoutrements, to allow the players to make of it something to
remember.
It
deals with both formal and informal celebrations that surround love, whether
expressed as a legal commitment, such as a wedding, or an emotional one such as
retirement. To the old well -known occasions have been added a few innovations,
including the celebration of separation when disillusioned partners are ready
to break away; perhaps even willing to search out another love.
And so we come to Mother's Day. There’s
a saying that everyday is a children’s day, consequently one day of the year
has been set aside to celebrate the woman who gave us birth. This year it will be on Sunday, 14th May. If you're looking for special ways to celebrate your Mother's Day check out

Engagement Ring part of the Wedding Ceremony
Brides often wonder, should they wear
their Engagement Ring during the Wedding Ceremony or remove it altogether for
the whole Wedding Day?
Then there’s the bride who decides not
to wear the Engagement Ring during the Wedding Ceremony but place it on her
finger immediately after signing the Marriage Register.
And then there’s the third option - the bride
does wear her engagement ring during the Wedding Ceremony, but on the right
hand instead of the left.
And the fourth option is to make the
Engagement Ring part of the Wedding Ceremony.
Throughout the Wedding Ceremony, including
the exchanging of the Wedding Rings, the Bride wears the Engagement Ring on the
fourth finger of her right hand. Then just before the Celebrant declares the
couple as husband and wife, he or she may say something like this:
Celebrant:
John, when you first made your commitment to Mary,
the Engagement
Ring symbolized your intentions to your future relationship.
Now that you have exchanged
your wedding vows, please take the engagement ring from Mary’s right hand, and
place it where it belongs – next to the wedding ring.
And then the Celebrant concludes the Wedding Ceremony
with the official declaration.
