MTV Looking for Newlyweds

Are you a fresh down the aisle? Going from engagement to the altar is a journey full of challenges that test the strength of your relationship, but it only gets harder once you say your vows.

Do your friends and family think you and your fiancé are moving too fast by getting married? Are you experiencing a lot of drama because of who you're marrying and are worried that it might continue after the wedding? Will you be moving in together for the first time right after the wedding and think that married life is going to be a big change for you and/or your fiancé? Are you feeling nervous about making this lasting commitment?

If you are between the ages of 18-28 and would like to share your story, MTV wants to hear from you!

Email us at newlywed@mtvn.com and tell us as much about your situation as possible. Also, please be sure to include your name, location, phone number and photo.

Be Careful Which Wedding Vendors You Hire

With the state of the economy, it's even more important to know as much as possible about whom you are hiring for your wedding vendors.  The past few years, we've seen many banquet facilities close up over night and leave couples scrambling for a new venue for their wedding.

Clearly, your choice in photographers, videographers and disc jockeys need some scrutiny as well.  How long have they been in business?  Are they a 1 man operation?  Are they advertising or did you find them at a bridal show?  (Any company that does not have a website or has no advertising and relies strictly by word of mouth - this is a good indication that they might not even be in business by the time your wedding comes around).  Many new upstart companies - disc jockeys and photographers especially, will never make it to their 1 year anniversary.  photographers or disc jockeys that have not updated their equipment in recent past - this is also a warning sign.

Know what you are getting.  Get everything in writing.  Pay deposits by credit card for some added security and protection. We expect that 2009 will be a rough year for many wedding vendors who are already struggling to survive.  Just as we expect many stores to close in the new year, we also expect 2009 to mark the end of many careers as disc jockeys, photographers and videograhers.  Only the strong will survive.  Buyer beware.

Would you believe that 2008 was one of our best years ever?  Our business is thriving and 2009 looks to be just as good for us.  We have positioned ourselves properly in this tough economy and we will be here for many years to come.

Advice For Beautiful And Economic Wedding Flowers By John Souter

Couples focus on varying things in their weddings. Some will spend an exorbitant amount of money on flowers while others want to spend it on their invitations. Still more like to focus on crafting a certain theme or ambiance. The type and amount of flowers you use depends on what is most important to you.  (MORE)


Your Wedding Day Timeline

You've decided on a wedding day.  You've picked out the church.  You've got your photographer.  What time should the ceremony be? When should the reception start?  How much time do you need for photos?  Planning your wedding day time-line can be difficult.  Let's break it down and see how much time you should plan for each section of your wedding day.  (MORE)


Bridal Show Do's and Don'ts

OK, here is an amazing stat. Did you know that 70% of all of the engagements that happen each year will happen on Christmas/New Year's/ Valentine's Day?  I don't know if the gentlemen are just lacking for originality, or if the romance of the season is just too good to pass up?  What is the result of the 70%???  Thousands of newly (excited) engaged brides  flood the bridal show market each year, which is why, in New England, we have these shows from November - March. 

A bridal show is the ultimate way to shop for wedding services. Unlike a magazine or web site, you can see, touch, sample, and question everything wedding related at these events! Here are a few tips of what to look for and what NOT to look for in a bridal show vendor.  (MORE)
