Packing for Your Destination WeddingParis Permenter & John Bigley Are you planning a destination wedding Congratulations! Before you head off to your dream wedding and honeymoon, dont forget the packing for the wedding itself. Much will depend on where youre having your wedding and your own personal style. If youre getting married in a formal wedding dress, be sure to carry it with you - dont trust your dress to checked luggage. Most airplanes have coat closets and will allow travelers to hang garment bags. Check with your airline. Grooms should also carry the clothing needed for the ceremony. If youre getting married in the Caribbean, you wont find many tuxedo rental shops in the islands. It is easiest to bring clothes with you. We recently saw a panicked groom in the Bahamas wearing a tuxedo shirt, coat, cummerbund -- and a pair of jeans. The stressed-out groom was racing for the lobby door to meet a clothier who had located a pair of tuxedo pants after the grooms were lost in his luggage. Dont let this happen to you! Also, carry all original documents--including birth certificates and divorce papers, if applicable--in your hand luggage. Dont pack these in checked luggage! Many resorts have on-site beauty salons, so you can make sure your hair is perfect for your wedding day. If you plan to do your own hair, be sure to check first on the electrical current and plugs at your destination. You may need to bring converters for hot rollers and other appliances. Many resorts also have on-site spas which can pamper the two of you with a massage to work out the kinks from your flight. For the wedding, youll want to pack some of these items, depending on your plans: wedding dress special hosiery or undergarments shoes if youre planning a tropical wedding, remember that high temperatures and humidity, coupled with a long flight, can make feet puffy guest book wedding rings grooms tux or suit grooms shoes address book thank you cards if youd like to write them on the way home special decorations, wedding music

Gifts are often given not only at the wedding – but often at an engagement shower and a bridal shower. How can you make your gifts look special The Cultural Narcissist - Lasch In An Age Of Diminishing Expectations "The new narcissist is haunted not by guilt but by anxiety. He seeks not to inflict his own certainties on others but to find a meaning in life. Liberated from the superstitions of the past, he doubts even the reality of his own existence. Superficially relaxed and tolerant, he finds little use for dogmas of racial and ethnic purity but at the same time forfeits the security of group loyalties and regards everyone as a rival for the favors conferred by a paternalistic state. His sexual attitudes are permissive rather than puritanical, even though his emancipation from ancient taboos brings him no sexual peace. Fiercely competitive in his demand for approval and acclaim, he distrusts competition because he associates it unconsciously with an unbridled urge to destroy. Hence he repudiates the competitive ideologies that flourished at an earlier stage of capitalist development and distrusts even their limited expression in sports and games. He extols cooperation and teamwork while harboring deeply antisocial impulses. He praises respect for rules and regulations in the secret belief that they do not apply to himself. Acquisitive in the sense that his cravings have no limits, he does not accumulate goods and provisions against the future, in the manner of the acquisitive individualist of nineteenth-century political economy, but demands immediate gratification and lives in a state of restless, perpetually unsatisfied desire."

Bodyguards helped her to her limo and once safely inside the very private star rolled down the window and shouted," Run em down! Well clean up the blood later!" The crowd scattered and the limousine sped away, pausing long enough for Hepburn to roll down the window and wave goodbye to her fans, accompanied by an evil laugh.
