...days in a person's life is her wedding day! To ensure that such a momentous event goes off without a hitch, appropriate planning is required. And when it comes to wedding planning, picking one's partner could very well be the easiest of all the planning decisions to make. Months will be spent prior to the wedding researching vendors, comparing products and prices, meeting with photographers, hotel managers, and many more wedding vendors to determine how to save costs on each wedding item (Hammond, 2007). "The absence of a clearly defined project plan consistently shows up as the major reason for project failures," (Gray & Lawson, 2005, p. 118). Without an implementation plan that outlines budgets, how important tasks should be organized, and what the contingencies are in the event that something goes awry, could result in what should be one of the happiest days of someone's life turning into a complete disaster. "The success of your whole day depends on your ability to organize, plan, and budget," (Hammond, 2007, para. 1). The stakeholders in a wedding project are numerous. Naturally the bride and groom are the biggest stakeholders. But also included in this list of stakeholders will be the bride and groom's family, members of the wedding party (maid of honor, bridesmaid, best man, and groomsmen), wedding guests, wedding vendors (florist, musicians, caterer, cake maker, clothiers, venue directors), and the officiate. Further, a successful wedding requires the orchestration of...

...as part of a young bride's wedding attire: brides who want a traditional wedding are opting to wear the traditional lace mantilla instead of a velo nupcial (wedding veil). The mantilla is exceptionally long and can trail several feet behind her traje de novia (wedding gown). Customs A traditional wedding custom in Spain used to consist of the groom presenting the bride with 13 coins known as arras (unity coins), which represent his commitment to support her. However, times have now changed and today's brides and grooms exchange the coins as a symbol of the wealth and finances they will equally share. Preparations Preparation for marriage includes but is not limited to the following: * Being a registered, active parishioner of St. Thomas the Apostle* * Attending Mass weekly and considering opportunities and activities to enrich your faith life as a couple * Obtaining new copies of your baptismal and other sacramental records * Completing a prenuptial inquiry * Choosing witnesses to complete affidavits of free status * Completing a premarital inventory to help you recognize your strengths and address your challenges as a couple * Meeting with a premarital inventory mentor couple to review the premarital inventory * Attending a diocesan approved marriage life skills class * Attending a God’s Plan for a Joy- Filled Marriage weekend * Attending a full course of Natural Family Planning * Planning your wedding liturgy Spanish culture...

...Hosp 590 Keller Graduate School of Management October 20, 2013 Introduction The event that will be planned will be the wedding between Jenna and Rob. This wedding is themed “A midnight walk in the park” and offers a variety of different activities and amenities for guests. The event will occur at a major Chicagoland hotel with a centralized location to airports, shopping and other tourist activities.
