Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father’s Day to the dads we cherish: the dads who taught us to be strong and stand-up for ourselves, the dads who supported us through everything and never passed judgment, the dads who are always proud of us and are even more proud of the people that we have become, the dads who kissed our boo-boos and still pick us up when we fall, the dads who always have a strong shoulder to lean on, the dads who always know how to make us laugh, to the dads we love.

Happy Father’s Day to the men who have made us the people we are today! Thank you!

Introducing the Father's behind Intertwined Events:

Left: Katie & her Dad, Top Right: Meghan's Dad, Bottom Right: Lauren and Her Dad

Whether it is your father, grandfather, or a father figure, tell the special man in your life that you love them and treasure everything they have done for you.

Happy Father’s Day!
The Ladies of Intertwined Events!

The Father Daughter Dance!

THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 2011


The Father-Daughter Dance

In honor of Father's Day (this weekend!!) we want to honor the very special moment at the wedding - The Father-Daughter Dance! This dance is a widely celebrated tradition in which the father dances with his daughter at her reception to symbolize the giving away of daddy’s little girl. For this dance, there are some favored songs such as: The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra, Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle, and How Sweet it is to be Loved by You by Marvin Gaye.

However, you should not simply stick to the ordinary and traditional. The Father-Daughter Dance has caught up with modern times in many ways. If your father is not an available for the dance, it can include another important man in your life such as an uncle, brother, grandfather, or even your mother! Also, you do not have to dance to the same traditional songs; pick a song that means something to you or is more up beat in tempo! Check out this video for a fun idea! It is SO CUTE!

Just remember, no matter if you go for the traditional or the contemporary - savor the moment as one that is very special indeed!

Dream Big.

Wedding Wednesday: Royal Trends Part V

When we think diamond ring we think: engagement, marriage, and commitment (ok and Bling!).


Why is that? What is in the symbolism of a ring that can strengthen the bond between two people? When William, Duke of Cambridge, announced that he wasn't going to be wearing a ring what went through your mind? Most of us girls probably questioned his commitment to Kate, except for the fact that their marriage was broadcast all over the world. So therefore the commitment part should definitely not be of question.

A webpage source called Daily Mail states, 'It was something the couple discussed but Prince William isn't one for jewelry - he doesn't even wear a signet ring - and decided he didn't want to. It really is just down to personal preference,' they said.

Prior to the second World War it was unheard of for men to wear wedding rings. Soon it become atoken that the soldiers abroad used to remember their families.

Since then the trend of men wearing wedding rings became increasingly popular.

In the past men wearing a ring wasnt as crucial, but today the modern bride wouldn't dare hear of their husbands not having one.

Why do you think this is? Have women become more and more insecure with their marriages over the years? Could scandals such as Tiger Woods contribute to this?

Regardless, culturally and traditionally adorning rings on the fourth finger seems to be the most important part when it comes to making the first step to committing yourself to spend the rest of your life with another.

I wonder if Duke William has started a whole new trend here? Ladies what say you - is it ok for your guy not to rock the ring? Fellas - your thoughts on wearing it the age-old symbol of fidelity and commitment?

Tales of a Bridesmaid: Edition 19

Vegas Baby! Whatever happens in Vegas...may just pop up online if a bridesmaid just happens to be a blogger! (wink, wink) Let me give you a sweet short summary of the innocent debauchery which took place this past weekend. Two nights at the Palazzo, dinner at the delicious Switch inside Encore, and two nights of dancing until my feet had blisters at Marquee and XS. So that's the summary. What really happened was reminiscent of a girl version of the Hangover minus live animals and an actual wedding.


So while I can't divulge anything further than that due to my bridesmaid confidentiality, plus there's a chance the groom might take a peek at this. What can I tell you?

The bride enjoyed the string of NEW thongs and panties over her bed. In order to get an undergarment, she had to correctly answer questions that her fiance had already previously answered. For all of the leftovers due to her wrong guesses, we compiled a dare list for her to accomplish tasks in order for her to take home the remaining underwear. They were so much fun!

For those looking for a delicious dinner, I highly suggest trying out Switch. I think everyone should eat there at least once while in Vegas. Where else can you dine as the walls and ceiling literally "switch" scenery every 20 minutes? The Filet was to die for, melted in my mouth as nibbles of creamed spinach, truffled mac and cheese and mashed potatoes completed my meal.

Wanna dance the night away? Marquee inside the beautiful Cosmopolitan hotel is your typical Vegas club. A huge venue with a great DJ, crowded yet lively dance floor, with appearances by Genie and Jack in the Box. Did I say the Genie from Aladdin and Jack? Yes I did! And no, I was not on any type of narcotic. That was one aspect of the Hangover that we definitely did NOT indulge in.

XS is one of Vegas' staples. Great music, large glittering chandeliers, outdoor patio/pool, and tables for you to gamble should the drinks not be a sufficient way for you to spend your money. Nevertheless, it's a great club that everyone must go to at least once.

So there you go my friends. Your very own Cliff Notes guide to throwing a bachlorette in Vegas. And if anyone was there this weekend and saw a group of girls running around the hotel blowing loud pink whistles. You have us to thank for that. And yes, we're bringing the whistles to the wedding. The bride will LOVE it! (as for her guests, well, that is left to be determined!)

Until next time my friends,
S.
