It has almost been two years since I got married. I know time really flies by!
Now and then a friend will ask, ‘How did you know he was the right guy” and “How long did you date” all those kinds of good questions. Everyone wants to know those kinds of things, but, especially if they are also thinking about getting married.
These are totally normal questions people ask themselves. How do you know when you have met the right person and are ready to get married?
Here are a few things you may want to ask yourself before you get married:
1. Do you have similar interests?
2. Are your life long goals in tune, do you want the same things?
3. Make sure to look at their character, are they a good person, someone that you will be there for through everything and they will do the same for you?
4. Do you cherish each other’s company? Does he make you laugh?
5. Is he supportive of your goals, interests and hobbies and want the best for you?
6. Could you live without the other person?
If you said yes, to all these things he is probably the man for you. Hopefully he feels the same.
When you do get engaged there is a lot of planning to do. Make sure to give yourself at least a year before you set your wedding date. This way you won’t feel as rushed and you won’t put stress on your relationship. This is a big change and you want to take it slow.
Get his opinion on the wedding planning. When you are shopping for wedding invitations have him sit with you as you search for the perfect personalized wedding stationery. You may be surprised by the great wedding ideas he has and learn something new. Maybe he prefers a more traditional embossed or monogrammed wedding invitation.
It is important that the wedding is about both of you. It is both your days to cherish and remember for a lifetime.

Do you think you’re in love? Do you find that someone is always on your mind. Do you find yourself trying to define what love is or how it feels when you’re with that special someone? Love once again is many things to many people. Webster’s Merriam’s dictionary defines love as ” a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties or “affection and tenderness felt by lovers.” I believe Jim Croce said it best and creates a perfect segue into a proposal for marriage. Remember this?, “What I say can’t wait. I know you’d understand. Every time I tried to tell you the words just came out wrong. So I’ll have to say I love you in a song. If you find someone or have found something like this they’ll grow on you. It will be hard to let them go. so you’ll eventually end up marrying or you’ll probably send them a variety of Cards and Notes before you even fathom something like Wedding Stationery or Invitations, Blossom Bordered, Elise Monogram and Paris monogram are meaningful ways of keeping a good thing going.

Anytime someone touches your life or makes you feel good during nearly every waking moment you’re together is a good indication that the relationship is headed for bigger and better things. Maybe you’ve even reconnected with someone you haven’t spent time with in a while and every time you’re together that person “makes you feel brand brand new.” You realize you have similar interests, goals, ways of cherishing each other’s company and supporting each other. Instead of pulling the petals from the flowers you have grabbed one of your Executive 7 Notepads, Billboard Desk Slabs, Jolly Memo Squares or Family List Sheets to write down different reasons why you think he loves you or he loves you not. You’re trying to figure out if spending more time with him will make you look at him in a drastically different light. You’re asking yourself how supportive you are of each other. You figure since most of the questions have ended on a positive note you are indeed going in the right direction. You’re wondering if this person is the right person to spend you’re life with and you’re asking him a number of issues. You’re thinking about the lyrics you’ve written down, “My fault, I fear. I thought what you’d want what I want” and by both of your admissions t

Love is an interesting question? We probably ask it frequently when considering a significant other. What does the person make me feel like, are we always together? Do we ever argue with each other and why.? Do you feel incomplete when you’re not side by side? There are number of questions that you’ll probably ask yourself several times when you consider the person you’ll walk down the aisle with. Let’s face it, have you been enamored enough with this person to send them Caslon, Colonial, Classic Monogrammed Cards, Elsie Monogram, Glory or Estate Cards. When you find someone with similar interests, goals, hobbies, interests and shared perspectives it is funny how you can literally think of things to do or steps that you’ll go above and beyond to do, to make sure you get to know your significant other better. Once you know them well enough you come to the conclusion whether it’s the right thing to do. Love is, “Love lights the world. And lights the Lovers for eternity,” before and after the marriage.
A nice day for a white wedding? Bel Amour is one of Our Traditional Wedding Invitations resplendent of “ivory linen.” A background of soft white satin framed with a black pearl silhouette. The invitation exquisitely presents a delicately framed collection in a shimmering “embossed” pearlescent foil frame that catches the light. The silhouette is further outlined in a “darkly shimmering border.” Black Metallic Ink boldly proclaims and announces in ” Fine Bolton and Rock Lettering styles.” It is an invitation like a great painting at a gallery. It demands your attention, relishes your response and awaits your next arrival.
