I recently ran across this video on the web and thought it was a joke but after some research soon realized that many people have fainted at their wedding before. I think it’s a good laugh while you’re in the midst of planning your wedding day. ENJOY
Editors Note: Help avoid fainting at the alter by getting a good nights rest the night before the wedding, eating before the wedding, not locking your knees. . .and remembering to breath while at the alter!
So, everyone is been wondering if the rumors are true. Yes, I am getting married this month on June 28th, 2009. And everybody’s been wanting to see our concept video.

I think this is a very inspirational story and I have been blessed to be able to document this story and share it with the world. This story is about one man who believed that he could make a difference.
We recently produced two promotional films for our friends at As You Wish Events. For those of you not familiar with As You Wish Events, here is a brief story about them: “Our philosophy at As you wish… wedding & event planning is to create a day that is exactly… As you wish…Shari Johns is the owner and founder of As you wish… wedding & event planning. Shari has been planning weddings in the Dallas/Fort Worth wedding market for 7 years as well as serving as a board member on several wedding industry associations. She’s currently the President and a founding board member of AACWP (American Association of Certified Wedding Planners) and has become one of the few Master Certified Wedding Planners in Dallas. Shari’s fun personality, strong communication skills, sharp mind, and eye for detail make her a favorite of clients and vendors.”
Ok, I have to accept the fact that I am guilty! I have been missing in action because I have been planning my own “June Wedding”. My fiance and I are planning on “jumping the broom” on June 28, 2009 and as we have been in the middle of the Wedding Season and planning our own wedding, I felt curious to find out more about “Why June Weddings?”. In my research, I found this great article that I wanted to share with all the other brides and grooms in our shoes. Article Source: wedding-blog.net written by Lesley-Ann Graham; Image Source: StyleMePretty.
“For as long as I can remember, getting married in June seemed to be the right thing to do. That is why when an aunt of mine got married in December, I couldn’t quite understand why. Come to think of it, I never understood why people wanted to get married in June either. So where did tradition stem from? Remember that cliché all roads lead to Rome? Well, June weddings can also be traced back to the Ancient Roman times.
For one, the Romans placed special attention to June weddings because that month was the time when they paid special obeisance to Juno, the goddess of marriage. As such, getting married in June was deemed lucky. We all know how the gods of the ancient times were very much involved in day to day living. On the other hand, it was not all luck and superstition that had it going for June weddings. It also had a practical aspect to it. If a couple got married in June, it meant that if the wife conceived, she would give birth before harvest time. This translated to the fact that she would be well enough to work the fields come harvest time.
There you are – the nitty gritty stuff about June weddings. With time, however, these reasons faded into the background. People of the modern times merely held on to the tradition that June is a good time to get married and that there is no other more romantic month than this. I have been trying to come up with modern reasons for June being the wedding month. I have done research and racked my brains but to no avail. Unfortunately, I think it is all based on the age old tradition which many do not know about now.
No matter what the reason may be though, June weddings are still quite popular today (though probably not as much as before). With the month of June just peeking around the corner, countless couples are probably getting ready for their own wedding. Their reasons may vary but the fact remains that June is still the prime month for weddings. Though it may be a bit late to plan your own wedding for this June, it will only be a matter of time till the next June comes around.”
