CHIP-IN FOR THE ULTIMATE GIFT

When you are close to the couple, you may already know something that their heart desires. But at the same time, you may not have the budget to get them that dream present. In that case, you could gather the family members or friends to chip in and buy something that is precious and thoughtful at the same time. A collective effort ensures a worthy gift from the entire group.

Rasha Hamid, who got married recently, said all her cousins presented her with a couple's plane ticket to Paris as their wedding gift. “It was a trip of a lifetime for us and we will always cherish those memories.”

Lest you have only a few members to chip in, you can always book a spa retreat for the couple at any of the five-star hotels in Dhaka or resorts outside the capital. They would surely enjoy a couple's massage or weekend getaway to de-stress from the pandemonium of the wedding party.

ALL HAIL THE MONOGRAM

A customised gift shows that you took the time and effort to make their wedding day special. Spice up an everyday mundane object by getting the couple's initials engraved on the item. It may be a locket or even a cheese board with their initials; you can bet they would be proud to hold on to that gift for long. A 'Mr and Mrs' bed sheet, pillow cases, mugs, key chains, bathrobes and towels also make for interesting and fun gifts.

CASH ALL THE WAY

Many couples breathe a great sigh of relief when they receive cash/gift cheques as a present. Just drop the cash or gift cheque into a suave envelope and stick it with an oversized bow and voila! You are all set. One obvious reason for joy is that the money can actually be used for something important. But another factor that is overlooked is that the couple does not have to stow away hundreds of gifts that they do not need at all. Storage is a big issue in today's homes and many have to wait a long time to be able to re-gift those, if at all!

When Dinah Haque got married, her maternal uncle asked her to sign a few important bank papers. Later, he gave those papers back to her and she stowed those safely away in the bank locker. Her uncle had gifted the couple a fixed bank deposit in their name. Five years on, when the investment instrument matured, the couple ended up receiving a substantial amount of money as savings.

MAKE A COMPASSIONATE MOVE

Couples these days are taking a strong social stance, which is a welcome bold move. On their wedding invitation cards, couples list the charities that are close to their hearts or a mission that they feel strongly about.

Couples could sponsor a child with their gift money. The current Rohingya situation has engulfed the global news space and a newlywed couple could also make a contribution there. Some noteworthy options include UNFPA, Direct Relief International, and the Chattagram Maa-O-Shishu Hospital.

All that couples want to do on their big day is to enjoy the day with their near and dear ones. Their only aspiration is for their family members to do the same as they set off on their new lives together. Amid the merriment, fairy-tale like décor and scrumptious biryani, they truly wish for prayers and blessings for their new journey!Read more at:wedding dresses melbourne | wedding dresses sydney

  

The wedding of President Joko Widodo’s only daughter Kahiyang Ayu has proceeded as planned despite a planned attack on the ceremony, which has been foiled by the police.

With thousands of invited guests in attendance, many of whom are important political figures and foreign ambassadors, the wedding of Indonesia’s first daughter was always considered a high-profile event. The wedding ceremony, held in Solo on Wednesday, attracted national media attention with the country’s citizens enthralled by the extravagant televised images.

Police vigilance paid off and enabled them to catch and arrest a suspected Muslim militant who had planned an attack on the wedding reception. “He planned to launch an amaliyah (attack) at the Myanmar Embassy in Jakarta and at the wedding ceremony of President Jokowi’s daughter,” Jakarta Police spokesman Raden Argo Yuwono said, as quoted by South China Morning Post.

The police identified the suspect as 25-year-old Rizky Anggara Putra and managed to arrest him after raiding his rented house in Bekasi and ultimately foiling the attack on the royal wedding.

The wedding itself was befitting for a king, with Ayu and groom Bobby arriving in separate gold-decorated chariots surrounded by presidential bodyguards in black suits, red ties and sunglasses. However, some parts of the wedding have been kept modest, best epitomized by the rickshaws that were hired to carry some of the guests to the location. President Widodo also chose to hold the ceremony at Graha Saba Buana Hall, a property he owns, with catering services provided by his son’s company.

The wedding ceremony also showcased Indonesia’s cultural diversity by featuring a parade in which people wearing ethnic costumes from all parts of the diverse country. The president and his family were dressed in traditional Javanese formal wear.Read more at:wedding gowns perth | wedding dresses online

  

Lake Mills City Hall was a fashionista haven, Oct. 26, as the Fall Into Fashion show drew a packed house of ladies looking at the latest trends and shopping enthusiastically.

The event also featured a silent auction, as ladies-night-out delivered the goods and people left with full shopping bags and big smiles.

Tyranena Ladies Club President Natalie Raupp said the inspiration behind the Fall into Fashion Show was raising more money to help Lake Mills.

“We try to keep it local,” she said.

The money benefits local charities, he said, like the Fargo Library Summer Reading Program, the Emergency Medical Services, the Lake Mills Food Pantry and the Rock River Free Clinic in Jefferson.

"We also help the Rock Lake Improvement Association, and the Lake Mills Main Street Program,” she said. “We also give $750 to a recipient at the High School who shows commitment to service in the community.”

Raupp said the models represent the Banana Republic, Premiere Couture, and LulaRoe.

“We have a lot of friends and family doing the modeling,” she said. “Some of the stores are supplying their own models like the Banana Republic and hair is being done by Sam at Denny’s Hair Salon, and Cost Cutters is helping.”

She said a Mary Kay consultant is helping with makeup.

The goal of the evening, she said, was to have a fun event that was affordable for everybody.

“We had water donated by the Lake Mills Market, and some of our ladies have made all the hors-d'oeuvres,” she said. “We bought the cheesecake from Costco.”

She loves how much all the ladies have come together.

“We’re having a great time, and I believe that everyone who comes tonight is going to leave thinking that they’ve got their money’s worth for a good cause.

John Reich said he was having a great time being the emcee, but admitted he was a little outnumbered by all the women.

Lake Mills Main Street Executive Director Katie Otto said she wasn’t sure what to bid on because she just arrived.

“It’s great because it's raising money for the Tyranena Ladies Club and it’s different,” she said. “I hope it becomes an annual event.”

Gloria Staplemann loves seeing all the woman attending the event is the highlight of the evening.

Corrine Hunter was on hand with her fashions from LulaRoe and said she wanted to showcase everything she carries in her personal and home boutique.

“Some of the styles fall true to what people love today, especially for the fall season,” she said. “I grabbed a little bit of everything.”

Hunter said the wardrobe focuses on simplicity and what to wear to work.

“We’re here as women from all walks of life, and we want to make sure that we represent those women with the clothing line,” she said.

“I have a printed script,” he said. “They were very clear about what I had to say.”

Mary Lynne Mason said the evening is fun.

“I bought raffle tickets, so we’ll see how I do,” she said. “They (the Tyranena Ladies Club) do a lot of good things in the community, and I think they are a great organization.”

Theresa Peachey said she was having a great time modeling the LulaRoe Fashions and was wearing an Emilia outfit that was backward.

“It’s very versatile, so I am able to turn it around and put a shirt on underneath it and use the zipper as an accessory,” she said.

She picked the outfit.

“I have several of these Emilia’s in my closet,” she said. “I work for American Family Insurance, so I’ve worn them to work quite often, I wear them for holiday events that my husband and I go to.”

She liked the big crowd.

“They seem like they enjoy the fashion show,” she said.

Erika Ewelt modeled the wedding dress and received a lot of positive feedback.

“This is practice,” she said about any future wedding plans.

She became associated with modeling through her mother.

“I think it’s fun seeing all the other ladies who model and doing something for the community,” she said.

Her sister Rebecka Ewelt and had her hair dyed pink.

“I was in a hair show,” she said. “It took about four hours in the salon.”

She loved wearing the dresses.

“We don’t get to do anything like this, so it’s fun,” she said.

Raupp said the Tyranena Ladies Club has open membership.

“We initiated five ladies last year and two joining possibly this year who are checking us out,” she said. “It’s open to anyone.Read more at:wedding dresses brisbane | wedding dresses perth
