Scheduling Your Wedding Date
One of the most important first tasks you have planning your wedding is setting the date. Setting the best possible date sounds easier than it is. Before you make your decision, there are many events and other important dates to consider. Your day will have a lot to do with cost, availability, who can attend, etc.

On average, there is 12-18 months between the engagement and the wedding day. Since there are so many components to plan for one year may not be enough time for many. Before setting the date for the big day, you should consider your friends and family members’ schedules. Birthdays, graduations, vacations, and other events may prevent people important to you attend your wedding day.

Getting married during the busiest wedding ceremony months has multiple challenges. First, be prepared to pay premium for reception venues, photography services, limos, etc. In addition to hire costs, you should consider challenges based on availability. Your dream location may not be available on your dream date. May through September are some of the busiest months for weddings, if you can, you should consider getting married one of the off months. November through April gives you more opportunities to keep costs down. During the slower months, you are bound to get better service because more vendors are competing for your business.

Because Saturday is the most popular wedding day, beware that you are competing with many other brides for the same venues and services. Saturday is the most convenient day for your guests, but it offers you the most challenge and expense. Fridays and Sundays are considered the next best days and are still much more convenient than weekdays.

Like anything else in life, there will be pros and cons to any possible wedding date. Your job is to figure out the best possible date based on your needs and desires.

Scary Ghost Videos – Real Or Fake
Today scary ghost videos have become a dime a dozen, with the advances in technology that make it easy for the average person to be able to buy software to edit a video to turn a seemingly mundane scene into a scary ghost video.  Some scary ghost videos are disturbing and, depending on your beliefs, can range from very frightening to laughable. Many videos claiming to be real scary ghost videos are obviously doctored using special effects and others are so subtle and well done you really can believe they are actual scary ghost videos.  With video mainly digital now, authenticating scary ghost videos is almost impossible using the old technique of checking the actual film for spliced or painted frames.

There are several shows that deal in ghosts and scary ghost videos. Ghost Hunters on the SciFi channel features a team of ghost hunters recording in a supposed haunted place and they sometimes capture scary ghost videos.  Another show that features scary ghost videos is Haunted Travels on the Travel Channel.  Haunted Travels explores all the supposed haunted places and sometimes are lucky to obtain scary ghost videos of the location that they are featuring.  There are also many websites on the internet that feature scary ghost videos.

When looking for scary ghost videos on the internet, be careful, there are several that tell you to pay close attention to the screen and to turn your volume up and then as you are staring at the screen a scary face with pop on screen and yell, scaring you.  There are some legitimately scary ghost videos on the web and whether or not they scare you is only a matter of whether you believe in ghosts. Even if you do not believe in the undead, it can be fun to watch scary ghost videos simply to enjoy the artistry (or lack thereof) of some of the scary ghost videos available on the internet.

Say Your Own Personalized Wedding Vows
This article was written to answer many of the most frequently asked questions on wedding vows.

Your wedding is your own.

And in todays society, people have been constantly scouring every book for any way to make their wedding as personal and as unique as possible.

One way to do this is to whip up your own wedding vows.

Traditionally, couples to be wed do not have much of a say in what goes into many of the words spoken during the wedding ceremony. Today, it is increasingly getting easier to personalize and influence what is said during the ceremony within reasonable bounds, though.

If you desire to make your wedding vows unique and personal, you are not alone. Many other couples incorporate feelings, and intimate messages into their wedding vows. It has an added effect of making your wedding more touching, dramatic, and memorable.

Talk with the Officiant Ahead of Time

If you would like to personalize your wedding vows, first notify your Officiant to find out the legalities, guidelines and rules in drafting your own wedding vows. He or she will typically give pointers and examples to help you draw up your own vows. Furthermore, the Officiant will inform you of the parts of the vow that are expected to be said.

The Topic

It may include promises, such as “I will swear upon my life to do …” or it may be heartfelt messages for each other, or even hopes for each other plans for the future and such. You may also opt to create a mixture of each to spice up your wedding vows. Although norms vary from culture to culture, as a general rule, the wedding vow should not take too long to recite. Keep it concise yet meaningful. Remember, you will have to recite this, and long recitations tend to make the memory suffer.

Make it Official

After creating a draft of the vows you wish to exchange, it would do well to meet up with the Officiant again and show him a draft of your vows. Although in the end, it is ultimately your decision that is followed, do take heed of the Officiants advice, as it is usually sound and has been honed by experience.

Practice

It is a good idea to practice your vows before the wedding. Although there is no rule against reading vows, a thoroughly practiced, heartfelt rendition of the vow will definitely make a lasting impact on your partner and the people witnessing the ceremony. As mentioned earlier, avoid overly long vows as they tend to be less remembered and are harder to memorize, not to mention quite inconvenient to others. You may do so, however, if you feel the need is justified.

The Performance

When reciting your vows during the wedding, always keep calm. People who are tense tend to speak to fast, and since the wedding vow is a very important part of the wedding, you will want to take your time in the spotlight. Loosen up, so that in case you forget a line or two during the exchange of vows, you will at least be able to bounce back with something from your heart. If you desire so, you may also keep a written version of you vows with you. You might want to read it surreptitiously though.
