Practical Tips for the Perfect Wedding

- Practice wearing your wedding shoes for a few days before the big day. Its also a smart idea to put non-skid pads on the bottoms of high-heeled shoes as well.

- Remember to allow time for alterations and cleaning if the gown youll be wearing is an heirloom that may need freshening up before wearing.

- It is critical to get a good, full night of sleep before your wedding day. With all of the stress, nerves and general excitement of the day its easy for a bride to be worn out before the celebration is half over.

- If your maid-of-honor hasnt done so already, pack a small bag to keep handy in your dressing area for emergencies. The bag could contain items such as safety pins, a needle and thread, hairspray, aspirin, nail polish, extra pantyhose and breath mints, among other things.

- As a token of your appreciation, select a special gift for your parents or in-laws-to-be to express your thanks and gratitude. This can be presented to them on the morning of the wedding.

- Arrange to have a romantic, heartfelt note hand-delivered to your fianc just before the ceremony begins.

- Find a pretty handkerchief to tuck into your bouquet so that its easily accessible for the many sentimental moments youll have.

- If your ceremony involves candles, be sure to assign someone the task of lighting them at the proper time.

- If your ceremony is being held outdoors, be sure to plan ahead for weather related mishaps or emergencies. A supply of pretty umbrellas nearby can really save the day if rain is in the forecast.

- Another handy item to have in stock for outdoor weddings, particularly those that are held in the summer months, is bottled water. Guests and members of the wedding party will certainly appreciate your thoughtfulness at the sight of chilled water, especially after standing around in formal wear in the sun.

- Ask your bridal party to assemble quickly for pictures so as not to keep your wedding guests waiting too long for your much-anticipated arrival.

- Take the time to eat a light snack on your way to the reception as brides rarely get the chance to eat at their own weddings!

- Remember to place a guest book at the entrance to your reception. Years later, youll be able to look back at who attended your wedding and what special words of love and wisdom they may have written in your register.

- Ask your florist for table hooks so that you and your bridesmaids can use your bouquets as reception decorations. Wedding bouquets can often be heavy so its likely the bridesmaids will welcome having a safe place to keep their flowers while theyre busy at the reception.

- Leave your honeymoon itinerary as well as where youll be staying, along with contact numbers, with a trusted family member in case of emergencies.

- Dont put off the task of having your gown cleaned, too, long after the wedding is over. Stains that may not be visible now can turn yellow after time and be difficult to remove. Gowns and veils should also be stored in a cool, dry place and carefully wrapped.

Making Gold With Enchanting in the World of Warcraft

Enchanting is one profession where you will make gold off both the mats and some the enchants, once you reach a high level, that is. When you are a low-level enchanter, you can suck up all the green items you can find to disenchant. When you do this, you will get mats in return, such as: small glowing shard, greater magic essence, and so on. While you can always sell them, it's best to get the highest stacks possible before you do. This will always bring you a ton of gold in quick, as people would rather spend a little more for a stack of 20 than they would for a smaller stack of 9 or 10.

A good way to gain green items is to either A: send them from an alt you have, or B: run one of the dungeons. Once you hit a high enough level to do some of the lower level dungeons alone, you can get some awesome greens to DE (disenchant). RageFire Canyon is a great one to run solo once you hit level 25+ and you will get a ton of green's to DE.

One other major good point about being able to DE items is when you get an item from a quest that you don't want or can't use. Or, when you get a BoP (bind on pickup) item from a drop. You can sell them at a cheap price to a vendor, or you can DE them and triple your cash from these items on AH by selling the mats.

Another great way to gain the items to disenchant is to pick up tailoring as your other profession. This will give you the ability to pick up cheap mats (or grind for them) and create items that will level your tailoring, and then disenchant them for mats for enchanting while you level your enchanting as well. This is the fastest way to level both of these professions and to gain the mats and items that will sell great on the auction house.

But, aside from DE items, there is a high demand for enchants in most of the servers today. Usually, these are for enchants for weapons, and you can make a good tip on them. Just remember the rule from earlier and ask politely for a tip if another player solicits you for an enchant. You will often find that most people will advertise on the trade channel in the major cities which enchant they are looking for, such as a 2H (two-handed weapon enchant) and normally, if they are looking for a specific enchant, they will offer a tip or to purchase the mats sometimes both.
