What should I wear to a wedding?

The choice of your outfit when going to a wedding counts a lot. You do not want to be shabbily dressed when attending a wedding. Having the right kind of attire is essential. If you are confused with what to wear, it’s important you find help on what to wear. The dressing style for the man and woman could be different for the wedding day. Here are tips on what to wear as a lady and as a man. Please note that this post is specifically for those who aren’t willing to wear the native African fabric to weddings.

Dress 

When choosing what to wear for ladies, a dress is usually the best option.  You also do not want to steal focus from the bride, avoid white dresses or anything that is somewhat too low-cut, too fitting or too short.

Color 

As for the color, you may want to stick to happier colors and avoid darker/dull colors such as black, dark gray, navy or dark brown. If the wedding is going to take place in the evening, you may get away with wearing darker colors.

Shoes

Shoes can accentuate the glamour of your outfit. Choose shoes that some add height, high heels will therefore do well. Those that are not well versed with high heels can opt for wedges. You can get away with wearing sandals in case it is going to be a beach wedding.

As for the perfect evening wear, you do not want to have any jacket thrown over your dress as you enjoy partying the night away. You can add a classy option of a scarf or shawl that wraps around your shoulders in case you get somewhat cold.

For men

Men’s rules of dressing are not very stringent. The only thing that you have keep in mind is to never show up in jean or a ripped tee shirt, unless the dressing has been previously indicated to be super-casual. The proper etiquette for men’s dressing is official wear, this remains the same across the board for different weddings at different venues.

Informal evening weddings or semi-formal daytime weddings also call for suits. Semi-formal wears during evenings especially call for suits and ties. For formal wedding in the evening, if the invitation makes mention of a black tie, then a dark suit will serve well.

Use the invitation 

For a general rule of how to wear to a wedding, use the invitation as your guideline. You can find details of how to dress for the big day. However, if it is not well indicated, look at the style of the invitation. The color, flower and decoration of the invitation letter should assist you to know what exactly you should wear.

Making sure that the bride and groom have a memorable time is an important thing that a guest can do. One way to do this is to exercise a good judgment in your dressing. You do not want to take attention from the newlyweds nor do you want to disappoint them by dressing inappropriately. Follow these guidelines on what to wear and you will be the perfect wedding guest.

Getting over jitters in wedding preparation

The cards have been distributed, the date is set, the wedding trousseau is ready and slowly you are approaching that dream wedding that you been dreaming since a young girl.

But then again if there are dreams then there are wedding jitters that are enough to shake you out of your dreams. Well, if you are going to be bride soon and you are already going through wedding jitters we list down few pointers that will help you to get over them soon.

1. Stop worrying: Jitters usually feed on fears and worry. While, we all know that worry solves nothing, it’s time to put this in practice. Whenever you find yourself in a situation take three deep breaths and calm down, saying to yourself that everything will go just good and there’s no reason to be worried about anything.

2. Be deaf for a while: Well, we don’t literally mean it! But this is the time when everyone around will be ready with varied pieces of advice. So turn deaf for a while and shut yourself from all sorts of advice. Concentrate on the new life that you will be starting soon and let ‘time’ handle all.

3. Sleep well: One of the reasons why we feel so stressed out is because we are constantly busy with shopping, relatives, functions and so many other stuff, which lead to unwanted anxiety and jitters. The best way to deal them is mediation and good 6-7 hours sleep which one should start practicing it and make it a routine well in advance before the D-day.

4. Exercise regularly: A healthy body definitely houses a healthy, sound and calm mind and soul. While exercising regularly and well in advance before wedding not only will keep you fit and increase stamina to handle all the wedding but it will also make you better equipped to handle stressful situations.

5. Keep your favourite playlist ready: there are certain songs that have always made you feel special, lifted your spirits giving you enough confidence to emerge as a stronger person. Keep that playlist ready to help you deal with jitters more easily.

6. Accept and acknowledge: It’s perfectly fine to have pre-wedding jitters. Even grooms have them. But the only way to get over them is by accepting it and acknowledging the fact that all this is a part of the process and soon all this shall pass making way for a fairytale romance to start.

Good luck with your wedding.

Top weird things that people have actually married

Most people may think that marriages are all about two lovebirds staring into one another’s eyes whilst they say their ‘I dos’ – however, not everyone thinks this way, and some people decide to take a rather different approach to walking down that aisle. Check out some of the most bizarre THINGS that people have married below…prepare to be shocked.

Meet the guy who married his PILLOW

Lee Jin-gyu fell in love with his “dakimakura,” which is a very huggable pillow, so decided to marry it. As you do. It even has an image of Fate Testarossa, from the ‘magical girl’ anime series Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha on the side. Apparently Lee takes his other half to the funfair and out for meals.

This woman married the Eiffel Tower

She’ll now be forever known as the woman that tied the knot with the famous Parisian landmark, but she likes to go by the name ‘Erika La Tour Eiffel’ – she’s even legally changed her name to this. She suffers from Objectum Sexuality, where individuals develop feelings of love and attraction to inanimate objects – so we guess that explains it a little then.

This woman married a real-life cobra

The thought of this actually terrifies us – Bimbala Das didn’t marry any ordinary snake, but an actual COBRA. She claims that it always came out to drink milk with her, so tied the knot with the animal in front of nearly 2,000 people in 2006.

This Woman married a male dolphin

Back in 2005, Sharon Tendler actually got married to a 35-year-old male dolphin called Cindy, who has since sadly passed away. “I’m the happiest girl on Earth,” the bride said at the time. “I made a dream come true, and I am not a pervert.” This makes us kind of sad, in the weirdest way.

This man married a corpse

This is rather depressing, but still true. Back in 2012, Deff Yingyuen, a Thai television director, married his girlfriend of 10 years, Sarinya “Anne” Kamsook. He wanted to make his other half’s dreams come true.

This man married himself

Talk about being in love with yourself! In 2007 Liu Ye married himself, claiming that the main reason behind the wedding was “mainly to express my dissatisfaction with reality.”

Are you planning a weird wedding too, please let us know.

Ludacris weds long time girlfriend right after proposing to her

This news should strike a chord in guys, and probably then beginning of an emerging trend in proposals and weddings. Rapper Ludacris has set the pace.

Ludacris is definitely not called by that name just because it sounds cool. The rapper put his name to the test when he married his long time girlfriend over the holidays. You’re probably thinking, “So what?” Well, it’s not the fact that he got married that’s shocking; it’s the fact that both the engagement and wedding all happened within days or even hours.

Most couples usually wait a few months, or even years to plan the wedding…not Ludacris and girlfriend Eudoxie. These two went straight to the altar.

Ludacris confirmed the marriage by posting a photo of him in a suit and his bride in a simple white dress on his instagram.

“Why wait? Did the thing before 2015. #mrandmrsrbridges,” he wrote along with the photo.

The reason that we know that this was only shortly after the proposal is because on December 26, he posted a picture of the proposal. The image showed the two on a private jet, as the proposal was written in large white letters in a field.

“She didn’t say yes. She said HELL YES! #milehighproposal,” he said at the time.

This means that the couple got married some time between December 26 and December 31. It could have possibly been only hours apart.

The bride also couldn’t help but gush over her surprise wedding, by posting another photo from the big day.

“Great way to go into the new year! Thank you for capturing such great moments @primephocus,” she happily said along with the picture.

Ludacris and Eudoxie have been together since 2009.

How to choose the best engagement ring for you

When it comes to engagement rings, you just want something big and sparkly, right? Wrong! There is a lot to consider when choosing your engagement ring. We wrote about how to get your significant other to choose the right ring for you, but now it’s time for you to decide what ring is right for you.

But let’s be real here — you are going to have to be realistic about how much you can afford to spend on your engagement ring. It’s going to be almost (never say never) statistically impossible to find a flawless 3-carat diamond for less than N200,000. Additionally, pricing for diamonds is never as consistent as pricing for, say, pure water, so costs are going to fluctuate depending on where and what you decide to buy. The easiest way to determine the price of the ring you’re going to buy is to determine your budget. Go as high as you can realistically convince yourself to go on your budget, and then stick to your hard limit when negotiating with jewelers. Waver only if you find the “perfect” ring and can afford it.

Now that you’ve established your budget, you are ready to look at some diamonds! To do this, we’re going to go over the 4 Cs: cut, color, clarity and carat.

CUT
The cut of a diamond refers to the shape of the diamond and the number of facets. Facets are cut into the diamond to achieve the highest brilliance, so as much light as possible is reflected out of the top of the diamond.

COLOR
Most diamonds appear colorless, but some have tones of yellow or brown. The closer the diamond is to colorless, the more valuable it is. Diamonds also come in other colors, such as blue, green and red.

CLARITY
Diamonds are often formed with slight imperfections known as “inclusions.” A diamond’s clarity is determined by the number, size, type and placement of the inclusions. The clarity scale ranges from flawless to obvious inclusions.

CARAT
I think it’s safe to say we all know what this one means – how big that rock is!

I recommend actually trying the ring to figure out not only what size looks best, but also what shape looks best on your finger. Sometime’s bigger isn’t better! It’s really up to the wearer.
