Good Wedding Ideas
 
    

I am not in this situation or anything, but I was just thinking about it. If you are married, and have pets together, what happens when you get divorced if both parties want the animal? Do they have joint custody, or is one person awarded full custody and how do they decide who gets the pet?

France the land of over thirty thousand castles is an amazing country to choose to hold your wedding ceremony. However a civil wedding in France requires legal procedures and advance planning, as well as a minimum stay of 4 weeks and blood tests to complete the necessary documentation prior to the legal ceremony.

As this is usually difficult to comply with, many couples opt to have a legal wedding in their own country, before jetting to France for a religious ceremony held at an amazing location like a fairytale chateau in the Loire Valley or in Paris and they then honeymoon in France. Either a civil or religious ceremony in France will offer you a romantic and picturesque setting for your special day.

A civil marriage is obligatory in France and religious ceremonies, which are optional, are not legally binding in any way and can only be performed after the civil ceremony. To be legal, a marriage in France needs to be performed by a French civil authority. In practice this means that the mayor or his legally authorized replacement performs the marriage ceremony.

For a civil ceremony there is a requirement of residency in France which one of the parties to be married must comply with. One of the parties must reside in the town or the arrondissement if in Paris, for the thirty days prior to the marriage. In addition to these thirty days, French law requires the publication of the marriage banns at City Hall for ten days which makes a total residency requirement of 40 days before the ceremony can be scheduled to take place at City Hall.

Documents for a civil ceremony are as follows:

1. Birth certificate not from a hospital but from the official government Bureau for recording births like the Bureau of Vital Records in the United States of America.

2. A notarized “Affidavit of Law” (Certificat de Coutume), drawn up by an attorney in law licensed in the State of residence of the party, stating:

- that this person is free to marry

- that the marriage to be performed in France will be recognized as valid in their home country

- and that publication of marriage banns is not required in their home country, neither under States nor Federal law.

3. In the case of previous marriages, a certified copy of the death certificate of the deceased spouse or a certified copy of the final divorce decree needs to be produced.

4. Prenuptial certificate of health issued not more than two months prior to the date of the marriage by a medical doctor after:

- serological tests for syphilis,

- serological tests to determine blood types and possibly the presence of irregular anti-bodies,

- and further for females also serological tests for rubella and toxoplasma.

It is possible to have these tests done in France.

Regarding prenuptial agreements, if no special measures are taken by the parties with a French Notary or an attorney at law in the States, prior to the marriage, then they are considered married under the communaute reduite aux acquets. This means that what each party owns personally prior to the marriage, or whatever comes to them afterwards through inheritance, remains their own property. Only what is acquired during the marriage is owned equally by both parties.

All foreign documents need be legalized prior to being presented in the French authorities. American documents can be legalized by obtaining the Apostille provided for by the Hague Convention which was signed by the United States on October 15, 1981. The apostille is usually obtained through the office of the Secretary of State of whatever state the document was issued in.

In all cases, it is recommended that the couple contact the Marriage Bureau of City hall upon arrival in France as extra documents may be required, such as a residence affidavit. All the documents above must be translated into French for presentation to French officials. Translations can be done in the United States of America by a Translating Agency or by a certified translator in France. If the translations are done in America the translations as well as the original of the document must be presented to the French Consulate General for verification.

American citizens holding ordinary American passports are not required to obtain a visa for a trip to France as long as they do not stay longer than 3 months. The visa exemption does not apply to journalists or to members of airline crews no matter what the length of their stay. American citizens holding diplomatic or official passports must obtain a visa before going to France no matter what the length of their stay. Other foreign nationals must check with the visa section of the Consulate General of France.

As the legal requirements for getting married in France are complex and may be reviewed or amended at any time, it is recommended that you engage a competent wedding planner if you wish to get married in France. Not only will she advise you on up-to-date legal requirements she can assist you with every little detail for your special day.

A fairytale chateau in France is a magical location for your wedding vows.

The web is a huge place and if you’re interested in cheating on your wife then there is probably a married woman who is interested in the same thing.

As the popularity of the web exploded in early the late 1990s so did dating sites and then married dating sites like Ashley Madison and Married Cafe started to spring up that catered exclusively to married people . These sites are designed to be discreet and when you pay a monthly membership usually the name on the credit card statement is very discreet, to keep husbands and wives in the dark as to what is really going on.

Married dating sites operate like any other online dating service, you have all the options that you can think of. You can search based on gender, distance, body size, age and of course marital status. It’s like shopping for an automobile, you can choose exactly what you want and click submit to see the results in seconds.

These web sites are big money makers for the owners looking at the millions of members that some sites boast. Like it or not extra marital affairs have always happened, maybe it’s easier now to meet married women or men but it has always been there.

Forming a relationship with a man or woman can give out happiness in life. But dating a married man is right or wrong? Extra care has to be taken while answering this question.

Most of the women think that keeping a relationship with a married man is not a problem and nothing wrong. Understanding a guy who is already married is one kind of a risky action. If proper advice is not followed situations can become worse in the future.

While dating a married man she has to keep some major points in mind

What is the type of relationship she wants? A long lasting relationship or a friendly relation ship for few days? If her answer is a long lasting relation ship she needs to know the background of his family first.

She should understand how that guy will marry me leaving his wife and children, what about their lives in the future? Will they survive without him? She should answer those questions carefully and should not act in haste. If her answer for the first question was a short term relationship than she need not consider his family background. Divorce is one of the worst situations that can occur in a married mans life, so women going to date with a married man should give importance to ill effects of diverse.

Take your family into consideration a women should try to understand the ill effects of dating a married man, she should know whether her family will allow this matter or not, how will they receive this idea, what will be the consequences that can happen at home.

Understand that man properly most of the men will only look women as a pleasure giving doll, they try to enjoy the girl and leave. Such men are much common among married people. A women should understand the cruel intentions of the person she is dating.

Understand your attraction- most of the women date married people to make themselves safe from all the sides, like no one gets a doubt if she is dating him, women feel that this relation ship is not a committed relationship.

But women, men are not always the same though he looks to be calm and nice you wont be able to understand his intentions probably the only reason why he may be dating you is to enjoy you for his pleasure.

Doing a legal and less risky date is most important. Dating a married man is an illegal offense and it should not be committed. For minute pleasures in life women should not date a married man, she should always know her limits, and consequences that can occur in future.

Family friends and relatives are crucial for women, if she dates a married man her relation with family and friends wont be cordial and if that he leaves her after enjoying her for his needs than there wont be any one for her to share her sadness. Stop thinking to date a married man and start living date a man who is of your age and who is more mature.



 
    

It’s the same story with the same fairy tale ending. Boy meets girl. Love. Kisses. Miss made Mrs. And everyone assumes that they’ll live happily ever after. But do they? If you don’t want your marriage to go wrong you should understand that contrary to popular belief, nothing goes right in marriage unless you are mentally prepared for life together. Pointers to help you.

Don’t waver between, “Should I?” or “Should I not?”

Entering into anything half-heartedly can end in disaster. If marriage is not what you want, do not be forced or cajoled into it. Being single has its own charm - the freedom it gives one is a wonderful lure. If marriage is something you do want, be sure that you feel drawn to your partner-to-be. Do not be pressurised into accepting someone you don’t have a liking for.

Avoid acting in a manner which says, “I’m easily available”.

Flirtatious behaviour and ways which clearly show that you are an easy catch do not add to your worth. It may tempt boys to have some fun with you but it will send you hurtling down in their estimation. The shy hard-to-get miss has far more appeal.

Be wary of Internet romance.

It starts as a bit of fun and ends with all fun drained out of your life. In cyberspace one is anonymous and nobody knows what the real truth is. So, don’t be dazzled with the novelty and charm of it, but look before you leap into cyberspace.

Talk over those cherished dreams of yours with your partner-to-be.

The girl’s right to a home of her own, to take up a job and related matters do not figure in marriage discussions among elders. It is for her, therefore, to tactfully find out her partner’s stand on matters that are important to her.

Fiona’s was an arranged match and, when George told her they’d be staying with his mother, she spoke out her mind saying, “But I need my own space. If you can’t give it to me, this marriage will be no fun and I’d rather opt out of it.” They talked this over with his mother and came up with a solution acceptable to both. With prickly matters like these agreed upon beforehand, the marriage stands to gain.

Seek knowledge, for it is a safe guide while ignorance can misguide.

A girl needs to be mentally prepared to take up her new role as wife, daughter-in-law and mother, but sad to say, she often is not. There are matters - personal, health-related and sexual - that the couple, especially the girl, would like advice on. But parents treat these matters as taboo. In that case, the couple should seek information from books and on-line material or go for counselling. Sound knowledge is the basis of a sound marriage.

Being prudish and refraining from talking about intimate concerns can hurt a marriage.

Certain questions like when to start a family and how big it should be, did not arise in the past but are inevitable now as present-day couples are driven by personal ambitions and pressures of work.

Being very specific about such matters can take a load off the mind.

Newly-wed Wendy was deeply distressed and when pressed for the reason, told her husband about her fear that kids may stand in the way of her higher studies. On being reassured that they’d think of children only after she had fulfilled all her ambitions, she was relieved. Such assurances are important, for thwarted desires can give rise to negative feelings in a marriage.

Your appearance and looks can send your man’s heart racing.

So, be graceful and dress decently. Look attractive and smart and, above all, maintain a trim figure even after marriage. Every man likes to show off his wife but a dowdy and badly-dressed woman is someone he’ll cringe from. Dressing revealingly, however, is a big no-no. Though men enjoy seeing skimpily dressed women, they don’t want their wives to dare and bare.

Remember the age-old saying “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”.

It was grandma’s approach route. It has been tried out for years and has vintage flavour. Why not make it yours by learning to be a good cook?

A happy home can bind hearts together.

So, master the art of good housekeeping and make your home invitingly bright and warm. “I hate to go home because mine is a filthy place run by a scowling wife,” complains a husband as he walks away in disgust.

That should remind you that winning or losing a battle on the home front depends largely on how bright your home is and how vivacious you are.

Courtship time need not be all romance and moonshine but can be reality-check time.

It can be an opportunity for the couple to learn about each other’s strengths and weaknesses, loves and hates and anything else of importance. This will not only prepare them to adjust to each other’s ways but will also enable them to use their own strong points to offset the weak ones of the other and vice versa.

Seeing her fiance spending lavishly on her, Karen knew that he was a spendthrift and pointed out that this could be a hurdle in their marriage. “I’m frugal,” she told him,” and am adept at saving. So, let me handle the household finances after marriage while you do something you are good at, like choosing the gadgets and seeing to their upkeep.” Since it was courtship time, he readily agreed. As feelings are warm during this period, agreements are not hard to reach and small arrangements like this can help marriage click in a big way.

Know that lovers’ bliss has to end some day.

When this happens, flaws are detected, irritation surfaces and anger erupts. Every couple needs to be prepared to handle this stage and to do this, they must be well apprised of certain time-tested ways of interaction that can be helpful. Here are some:

Cultivate the I-for-you and you-for-me attitude from the very start.

Marriage is neither dominance nor servitude but a partnership. So, partners should learn to forget the egoistic ‘I’ for the self-effacing ‘we’, in their relationship. Jane hated to forego her early morning sleep and her husband came to her aid by finishing off all the early chores. This pleased her so much that she readily overlooked the way he threw about his things untidily, and tidied up for him. Such a give-and-take attitude can lessen friction in marriage.

Learn to handle your partner’s ego with care.

Marital relations deteriorate when egos are hurt. Egos need to be cherished with appreciation rather than be crushed by constant fault-finding. During courtship, appreciation is unstinted and everything is rosy. Couples should remember this and they should be firmly committed to putting into marriage what made life so great for them before.

Let’s face facts. “My wife is a great cook and the dishes she cooks are always great!” brags Dennis to his friends - but he never tells her’ so. “My husband has a nasty temper but is very helpful around the house,” admits wife to everyone else except her husband.

This failure to give due credit to each other builds up resentment in both. Each day offers so many opportunities to every couple to say heart-warming words to each other. If you say them as you readily, did during your courtship, much that goes wrong in marriage can be set right.

This is because appreciation is a great mood-enhancer and a healer of emotional hurts. It can be the vitamin A that keeps your marriage in good health.

Add spice to your married life with some romantic moments.

When two heads come together with antagonism they will soon be at loggerheads, but romance has that magical ability to drive away unkind feelings from the mind. A few quiet moments together, a short walk in the moonlight, a soft touch, a lingering caress, a silent locking of the eyes, sweet nothings whispered into eager ears, do not take time but they make you forget hurts and keep hearts locked in love’s embrace. So, give this magic of love a chance to keep things straight.

Learn to fight the right way.

Fighting is an inbuilt danger to marriage but it need not be an evil that destroys it. I once heard a lawyer and his wife fighting so violently that they could be heard all over the place. Minutes later, they were walking arm in arm to their car. That’s how fights should be: just a release for pent-up feelings and forgotten in a flash.

Not dragging yesterday’s faults of omission and commission into today’s quarrel is important, for that would be nagging which really hurts and wounds. Nobody wants to lose an argument, so a little give and take or meeting your partner half-way is a great idea.

Marriage, as all will agree, is a 24 X 7 commitment, highly taxing and very demanding with no holidays allowed and no breaks permitted. Such a trying relationship will not flourish on its own.

Strange to say, so much time, attention and money are spent on the wedding, which is a one-day affair, while no thought is given to preparing the couple for marriage, which is an exacting life-long involvement.

With a little prior guidance and direction, a couple can be emotionally prepared and mentally conditioned to adjust and attuned to each other’s needs in living together. When that is done, much that can go wrong in a marriage begins to go right.
