Today let me tell you about 5 of the Worst Wedding Fo-Pas I ever encountered helping you to avoid such hazards.

one of the biggest Fo-Pas I ever had the unfortunate opportunity to witness was when the Bride in her planning stage forgot to make the distinction that all those invited to the ceremony were not necessarily invited to the dinner. Well guess who showed up for the dinner and sat down waiting to be served. over 256 people came for the dinner that was only set for 154 OOPS!

over 1 hundred guests, friends and co-workers were asked by the Bride (In Tears) to please leave you were not invited to the dinner.

I felt for the Bride and I felt for the people asked to leave but it all came down to poor planning. Some ceremonies are open to anyone and everyone but it must be specified only those with an invitation will be attending the dinner.

I always caution couples who are wanting a small child to carry the rings down the isle on one of those pillows please let them be the plastic rings the pillow comes with. one couple gave a three year old the real rings and when he took one look at all the people looking at him he headed towards the woods as fast as his little legs could take him, with the real rings. It took 3 adults nearly 20 minutes to catch the little stinker and resume to the ceremony.

It was a cottage wedding and the Bride was to come in on a boat and be escorted up to the deck by her father where the ceremony will be conducted. On the day of the ceremony the batteries died on the walky talky that was to tell the boat to come in, so the boat never came in as we all a waited for over an hour. On occasions where wireless communication is part of the process have several back-ups like cell phones and not just 1 but 2 or 3.

Another Cottage Wedding the rings were being passed around by the wedding party before the ceremony and somebody with slippery fingers dropped the Brides ring between the boards of the deck. There sat a beautiful diamond ring sitting on the edge of a rock that was on the precipice of a 50 foot cliff that went into the lake. The ring was not 2 inches from that drop off and leaning towards the edge. Well off came the jackets and ties as all the men dropped to their knees and with a coat hangar and chewing gum and the precision of a bomb squad disarming a bomb they retrieved the ring; but not without a few close calls. Do not pass the rings around before the ceremony if you want to see them wait until they are on the fingers of the couple that is the time for viewing.

When having a Wedding in a public place that needs no reservation have a couple of back-up sites I once came to perform a ceremony at a site with six other weddings waiting in line for the same site. We fortunately found another site.

Well thats my post for this week and I will continue with more next week and lots of suggestions and ideas. Please feel free to join my : asktherev e-mail club for FREE mailings on things that will make your day that much more special.

Late season tropical Depression number twenty-seven is here and is forming into what will soon become tropical Storm Gamma. It will be just south of jamaica by Friday. The surface temperatures in caribbean are warm and will easily allow tropical hurricane Gamma (pronounced gama in the Greek alphabet to form.

The chances of Gamma becoming a Large Category Storm are not likely, but possible. The chances of it getting into a position to threaten the united States shoreline is not likely, but too early to completely rule out. The next named storm will be Delta and Epsilon.

tropical Storm or hurricane Gamma will be the twenty-fourth named storm and is likely to flood up to 15 inches of torrential rains on the Windward islands, puerto rico, Virgin islands and Leeward islands, which are already still trying to dry out from previous storms this year. Gamma is building slow and getting bigger each day and we still have over 2-weeks left in the Official tropical hurricane Season this year, which could be extended 2-weeks due to warm waters.

A hurricane Gamma could be a significant storm for many islands in the caribbean and it may not be the last named storm or hurricane this year. Think on this
