Balancing on Planet Earth by Kelly M. Kirkpatrick Balancing on planet Earth, I’m falling once again. Did I mean to say “I love you”? Did I compromise a friend? Balancing on planet Earth, I’m getting up again. I know I’ve always loved you. Don’t let the story end. Reaching from the cradle To dance among the stars; Gazing from the playground And into fancy cars; Running from the graveyard And mating in the bars - We take this lengthy journey To find out who we are. Balancing on planet Earth, We have but time to grow. We slip, we fall, we stand again, For what I do not know. Balancing on planet Earth Is never quite enough. Put your faith in reason, And call the world’s bluff. Hatred is but ignorance, But ignorance not bliss. Loving is the answer, And this is why we kiss. Speak not to me of virtue, For it shows you do not know. Speak to me by living, And let the meaning show. Balancing on planet Earth Is more than just a game. Try to preserve your dignity, Your honor and your name. Balancing on planet Earth, You’ll find what life is for. Should you fall, hold on to me With love forever more.

One of the most stressful parts of organizing a wedding is to try and coordinate the choice of the mother of the bride dresses with the rest of the outfits being worn. There is nothing worse than having mother of the bride dresses that outshine the bride or clash with others who will be in the official photos.
If you are the groom-to-be then you may be extremely worried about the type of mother of the bride dresses that your future mother-in-law may turn up in on your big day. Unfortunately it usually falls to the bride-to-be to call on all her diplomatic skills and discuss the issue with her mother.
The issue of how to decide on the perfect color and style that the mother of the bride dresses in can be a complex one. Obviously she wants to look her best too but she should not wear an outfit that takes all the attention away from the special couple. I know this has happened to a number of my friends.
If the color that the mother of the bride dresses in has the potential to grab too much attention then she needs to be persuaded to make another choice. Remember too that the bridesmaids are going to have their own color theme and this also needs to be taken into consideration.
By far the best types of mother of the bride dresses are those that have simple lines to them and not too many frills or accessories. The color should blend in and, if the bride is not getting married in white, compliment her daughter’s choice of wedding dress.
Another extremely important point about how the mother of the bride dresses is to take into account is the color of the outfit that the mother of the groom will be wearing. Many a wedding group photo has been marred by clashing colors.
Finally, the choice of outfit that the mother of the groom and the mother of the bride dresses in should be different.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of couples who have not found out that the mother of the groom and mother of the bride dresses are the same before the big day!

Even the most well planned best-organized wedding can fizzle out if the wedding music and the DJ are not good. There are thousands of good DJ’s and DJ wannabes out there. The solution is finding the right one. Choosing from among them will not guarantee you the wedding music that would add to the fun of the party.
Pick a DJ that you have already heard perform. You might have heard a great DJ in a club, a restaurant, and a hotel, at other wedding parties and celebrations. Your friends are also good sources of DJ’s because chances are you have the same taste in music as they have. When choosing DJ’s, do not shop around anymore because the best DJ’s are the ones you already have heard and liked.
If you haven’t heard a good one lately, your job becomes harder.
Then you can start looking in the yellow pages under disc Jockeys, Music and Entertainment. It will not be wise to bank on a DJ for price consideration alone. Starting DJ’s normally charge smaller than the more experienced one. Get a short list of the DJ’s that have a good and tastefully done ad. If you can find DJ’s that have conducted in several wedding events. When talking to them, try listening to the manner of their speech, the words they use and how they phrase them. The manner in which DJ’s talk tends to spill into their performance.
If the budget however is limited and you have to pick a DJ that is not as expensive, (DJ’s Services usually ranges from $100 to $2000 for a four hours work) make a shortlist of those who sound interesting. You can ask them for references and inquire about them. The more the reference the better. It would also be better if the DJ has a regular venue where they perform so you can visit unannounced. From there you can observe how the people reacts to the DJ. If you like how the DJ carries himself, how he ensures that even requests are handled well that it blends with music continuity and motivates the crowd, you could have found the right one for the occasion.
Do not be impressed by the number of music, gears and equipment that many DJ’s boast. For a four-hour performance, chances are he can only play 60 cuts. If you are not very good at music equipment, you also will not know the difference.
From his collection choose only about 60 to 70 music that he will play for your wedding music.
Pointers in selecting wedding music.
Note the venue of the ceremony. If it has to take place in a church as most weddings are held, coordinate with the minister if there are restrictions in the wedding music. There are also types of songs that are prescribed for certain part of the ceremony. A wedding ceremony consists of six basic parts.
The processional or the march. Bridal march music is meant to usher in the bride and the entourage.
The interludes (four) - which is meant to convey the emotion of the ceremony according to the message of the moment.
The recessional - Wedding music selection for this part is usually happier songs meant to celebrate the new couple and the joining of the families.
In all these you can choose the music that fits within the prescribed dignity of the ceremony. Other wedding music pieces can be played at the reception.

So you are planning of getting married and it suddenly dawns on you that a really important aspect of your wedding will be the wedding invitations. Not only will they set the tone of the wedding but they will also reveal clues about both of your personalities.
A couple of the things to keep in mind when choosing your wedding invitation. You basically have the choice to stick with the traditional elegant invitation or go for the modern contemporary wedding invitation. There are a couple of things to keep in mind when choosing the contemporary style
First off you have to decide on a shape when it comes to the contemporary style.There is a great variety to choose from. Unlike the traditional wedding invitations the contemporary ones don’t stick to the usual square or rectangular shape; you have far more choices.
Hearts, flowers and circles are all available designs when you look at modern wedding invitations. Unlike traditional wedding invitations that will largely consist of a single sheet of paper - it’s modern cousin will come as a bi or even tri fold wedding invitation sometimes even providing pockets for the reception card.
Let’s consider Ink and Paper The choices on the color of ink and the paper you are using are virtually endless when it comes to modern wedding invitations. Using traditional invitations you are usually limited to paper that is ivory,cream or white and black is usually used for the ink. All those limitations are gone when you opt for the contemporary style invitation. You have virtually no limits.
One paper choice that many couples are choosing today is rice paper, which gives a natural look that is environmentally friendly as well. There are a variety of great colors to choose from as well, and you can find paper in almost every shade imaginable, from bright colors to soft pastels. Different colors of ink are available and you can choose different fonts for your wedding invitations as well if you are going for a contemporary look.
Different Presentations There are some other differences that contemporary wedding invitations have as well, such as the presentation of the invitations. Sometimes couples decide to have an artist create wedding cartoons for the invitations. Also, some invitations actually use pictures of the couples on them, which is a very interesting way to set your invitations apart from others. Another different presentation is scroll wedding invitations. These are invitations that are rolled up like scrolls and actually mailed out in tubes instead of sending them in envelopes.
