Dr. Seuss Wedding Vows

Vows, inspired by Dr Seuss:

Celebrant: With that, I ask you right now,
Will you answer me right now,
These questions, as your wedding vow?

Bride and Groom: Yes, I will answer you right now,
Your questions as my solemn vow,
Bride: Provided our guests don’t have a cow.

Celebrant: Will you love him if he’s rich?
Will you love her in a ditch?
From today until the end of time,
Even if his words don’t rhyme?

Groom: I will love her if she’s rich
Bride: And I will love him in a ditch
Groom: And I will even love her when she’s being a b…eautiful princess.

Celebrant: Will you love him for richer, for poorer,
Will you love her for quiet or snorer,
From today until the cows come home,
And never stop writing goofy poems?

Bride: I will love him if he’s poor.
Groom: I will love her if she snores.
Bride: And I will love him when he’s a bore.

Celebrant: Will you love with all your heart?
Will you love till death do you part?
Will you have and forever hold,
Each others’ hearts ‘till the stars grow cold?

Bride and Groom: I will love her/him forever a thousand fold,
‘Till death do us part and our blood grow cold,
Groom: Or until our brains grow mold.

Celebrant: Will you love through good and bad?
Will you love in times happy and sad?

Bride and Groom: I will love her/him through good and bad,
And in times happy and sad.
Bride: Cause he’s the best friend I ever had.

Celebrant: Will you take him as your mate?
Will you have her as your date?
From this day on and ever more,
No matter what your life may have in store?

Bride and groom: I will have her/him as my mate,
Starting on this our wedding date.
Bride: May as well, as it’s our fate.

Celebrant: If you’ll be wed through and through,
Please answer with the words:

Bride and Groom: I do!

It’s Egg Bowl Day!

It’s egg bowl day, are you ringing the cowbells or singing Hotty Toddy?  Mississippi State brides and Ole Miss Rebels both enjoy adding a little team spirit to their wedding.  Here are some great ideas….

What is Ombre???

Ombre color is everywhere you look.  More and more brides are finding a way to add a little ombre flair to their southern wedding.

So what is ombre???  At first glance you might think of tie die but it is much more subtle and elegant.  It’s from the French word, ombrer, which means shading.  It simply means  having colors or tones that shade into each other for a gradual and very dramatic effect.  Check out these great ombre ideas and find one to fit your style:

Weddings With A College Twist

Many couples meet in college so it is only natural to incorporate a place that was their home for years and the backdrop of their relationship.  It doesn’t take much to add some tasteful details to your wedding and showcase your school.   The groom’s cake is any easy way to add playful college spirit but we think there are even more great ideas.  It could be as simple as using school colors in the wedding party or as elaborate as building an exact mock up of “The Grove”.

In this wedding the Mississippi State bride left each guest an elegant miniature cowbell on each chair.

The wedding cake can be simply adorned with a colored sash or flowers in school colors.  Women’s shoes and men’s ties are a perfect place to use some playful school color.  How about a beautiful ribbon cascading the bridal bouquet and wedding party flowers that is unmistakably college colors.
