Wedding planning

London, Sep 21 (ANI): More and more ‘rent a friend’ agencies are emerging in Japan, with many looking for either a friend, husband, wife, boss, uncle, etc. to fill in the gaps.

Your special day is here…the day all little girls dream of. You’ve come a long way…you’ve left your awkward “I hate all boys” phase far behind, you’ve kissed many frogs and you’ve finally found your prince. Now, your parents want to give you a wedding party you’ll never forget and you’ve already heard about the surprise bachelorette party that your friends are planning. Of course, you want to look like a princess on your special day. This is the day that you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

You're looking for a car for your wedding or honeymoon. Even if you do have a car, you may not be sure you can bank on it to run well. Sometimes couples like to have a car of their own, for sentimental reasons. It may be a good idea to hire a car from a car rental agency though. There are many agencies such as Hertz, Budget, Avis which offer cars on rent. You can choose from Economy, Compact, Mid-Size, Standard, Full-Size, Premium, Luxury, Converible, MiniVan cars and SUVs. Whew!

The Matron of Honour, Bridesmaids and Junior Bridesmaids have to keep the following in mind: 

1. Pay for their own wedding attire and accessories, hair and make-up. 
2. Pay for travel expenses (if from out of town). Accommodation is ordinarily taken care of by the bride, but not always.
3. Give an individual gift or contribute to a group gift.

Etiquette

The Bridesmaids are often the bride's or groom’s sisters, the bride’s cousins or best friends.

Duties of the Bridesmaids

The Maid of Honour is the bride’s sister, cousin or close friend, who acts as the bride’s pillar of support, both emotionally and in helping her oversee wedding arrangements. If she is married, she is called the Matron of Honour.

Pre-wedding…

Wedding attendants are an important part of the wedding party and celebration. They are pillars of support to the bride and groom in terms of assistance both before and during the wedding. For some couples, choosing their wedding attendants isn’t difficult – they simply pick their siblings or close friends. But for some who have no siblings or a multitude of friends, the choice often becomes difficult.

A few pointers to guide a couple towards making this tough decision…

The Best Man is often the groom’s brother, cousin, best friend –  a confidant or someone he has been close to for a better part of his life.
