Getting Married is Not What Matters Most, But Staying Happily Married

Photo Credit: DJ CARMELA.

Getting married is not what matters most, but staying happily married.
Any dummy can marry; even retarded couples marry. But only the intelligent and wise ones are happily married.

I always say, it is better, healthier and safer not to marry than to marry and be divorced or separated later.
Don't start the dance of romance that will end up in violence.
It is better to rest in peace and not in pieces with miserable children from your broken home cursing you for bringing them into this world to suffer the terrible consequences of your horrible marriage.

ORLANDO, Fla., June 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- "Summer will be a showstopper this wedding season with these top ten design trends," says celebrity wedding planner and trend expert, Jamie O'Donnell of Jamie O' & Co:

Modern Princess – Stunning gowns designed with a throwback to the ladylike and iconic style of Princess Grace with beautiful tailoring, gorgeous lace and tulle are bringing a quiet elegance and glamour to weddings this season.

Colored Wedding Gowns – Brides are becoming more fashion forward and expressing their unique style. We've seen more colored wedding gowns coming out of Bridal Market and mint green or pistachio from Monique L'hullier is one of the newest colors.

Craftsmanship – There is a newfound love for the craftsmanship of vintage jewelry and vintage elements that showcase a passion in design circa 30's and 40's era

Metallics – Metallic elements are still strong for this year and are showing up in new and sparkling ways like full gold and silver wedding cakes.

Feathers – Feathers and natural elements are taking a new form in weddings this year. Instead of the over the top Gatsby look we've seen over the last few years, feathers are taking more unique and understated role in design showing up in gorgeous feather chandelier lighting, placemats and bridal accessories.

Pantone Colors – While I don't think we will see a lot of Marsala, Pantone's Color of the Year, in wedding design this year, we will see the colors of the season Aqua and Indigo as anchor colors with mint green as a complementary foundation color and bright accents of Strawberry, Tangerine and Custard as a cheery palette.

Meaningful Bouquets – A book of wishes written by guests and family members at events leading up to the wedding so the bride can walk down the aisle carrying all the love and support for her marriage. Floral attached to book as a meaningful and new take on a bridal bouquet that becomes a true heirloom.

Playful Centerpieces - Centerpieces will embody a more deconstructed look and incorporate playful elements of ribbons and glass ornaments with flower blossoms or candles in them

Ceremony Seating - Furniture Pieces and Sofas in place of traditional chairs for Ceremony Seating

A Focus on Love and Storytelling - A refocusing on telling the story of the couple through thoughtful elements.
