One of the "finishing touches" in the wedding plan is transportation. How you arrive at the wedding and depart from the ceremony and reception is a large part of the wedding day celebration. Many couples choose to travel directly to the hotel after the wedding reception or to an airport to fly off to a distant resort. The best weddings involve creativity, unique style and planning on the part of the couple, and transportation is no exception.
Of all the types of wedding transportation available, a limousine service is one of the most popular and is a classic symbol of luxury. Most limousine services are very flexible and can offer a chauffeur for the entire day, or just an hour or two. The choice depends on what your wedding day involves. White limousines are the most formal type, and although the standard seating is 4-6, many can hold up to 12 people at a time. Of course, in addition to a limousine, other cars can also be used for the transporting of the wedding party or family members. Many traditions call for the bride to ride with the father to the church. Of course, the remaining parents and guests/attendants would follow. How you choose to create your wedding experience is up to you and your loved one. Here are some quick tips to help make your bridal experience with your loved one a romantic and memorable one.
Do some research on any prospective service to make sure it follows the correct guidelines, and always write a contract.
Inquire whether the service is part of the National Limousine Association (www.limo.org). More information about limousine service vehicle guidelines can be found there.
Are you able to decorate the vehicle? According to tradition, the groomsmen do the decorating. Of course, many wedding vehicle decorating involves the bridesmaids, brides, parents of the bride and others. Remember that good etiquette usually calls for a driver gratuity.
I'm going to talk about stress management and how to cope. And especially your Wedding day. Stress is the state of mind most likely to spoil that special day, event or interview. Reiki is the ultimate 'Stress Management Tool' Channel Reiki Healing Energy to quieten the mind, quieten the mind and the body relaxes-releases: Release from the body is a cleared mind, being held in stillness and silence, with access to healing energy gives the whole 'Self' a window of opportunity for restoration..
Leading up to the Wedding day, if you can arrange for your guests, especially people close to the Bride and Groom, a Reiki treatment a few weeks before the big day. You will be amazed how stress free everyone is. To cope with the pressure the big day produces, you couldn't do better, Reiki cannot guarantee the weather, but the reduction in stress will help you cope whatever that turns out to throw at you:-)
Stress has been a rising cause of sickness from work replacing bad backs as the main cause of absence. The records show that more than 5 million working days a year are missed in the UK alone to stress related illness.
I would say anything that reduces stress levels, I would give it a fair trial. I know many Brides that have had a Reiki session apx two weeks before the wedding, and then had a Reiki practitioner come to the house on the morning of the wedding day, working on the bride, the bridesmaids and especially the Mother of the bride. I know it makes a great deal of difference to how the big day has gone. The stress is relieved to a great extent to every-one's relief.
I also know some businesses have a Reiki Therapist visit their company and have them give a short Reiki treatment as the employers sit at their desks - stress levels go down and productivity increases.
Doctors are fully aware of the presence of stress - they are particularly vulnerable to it themselves, and a growing number of GP practices have stress management counsellors on-board for patient referral. Hopefully as they become increasingly aware that emotional and psychological conditions respond remarkably well to complementary therapy, including Reiki, they are more likely to suggest an alternative, natural rout for some treatments.
Stress is basically how you perceive the demands and pressures that life presents, and how you are able to draw on your inner resources to cope. What you find unable to cope with today - you will take everything in your stride with Reiki.
There is no need for you to believe in Reiki - or, for that matter, in any other holistic healing system: It will still work! The five Precepts of Dr Mikao Usui can have a profound effect on lives, though Reiki is NOT a religion.
1. Just for today, do not worry.
2. Just for today, do not anger.
3. Honour your parents, teachers and elders.
4. Earn your living honestly.
5. Show gratitude to every living thing.
The point that the Reiki principles make, is the life force relies on the views and judgments that we practice and make known. In other words, if we think in a positive manner and try to feel only good feelings, such as caring or closeness, and dedicate our life to discipline and perseverance (as best we can) the life energy is profuse and the stress diminishes to that which we can cope with.
