What better way to say how much you love each other than to plan a beautiful ceremony in the month of February, the month of love? Putting the symbol of love all around our wedding day struck me as a wonderful way to celebrate marriage. My initial purchase was a stunning tiara that I discovered while browsing on the web. The invitations I selected were just one of many supplies that I needed to buy for the wedding theme. The invitations I sent out were little cards with two little silver hearts on the front. The inside was very pretty to look at, and it had everything printed out in there already when we received them, so all we had to do was write in the place and time and we were all set.
   But that was only the beginning, after I mailed out the invitations I had to start planning the décor and ordering the supplies I would need. On each of the pews I had big red velvet bows with ribbon strung from one pew to the next. The altar was beautifully decorated, with wonderful candle holders and candles, including our unity candle which was adorned with a heart made of red roses. We used red roses all over the wedding ceremony, like in my bouquet, where they were mixed with pink roses, and throughout the church. I even went as far as to have caged doves to be released as we exited the church.
   Everyone had their wedding attire taken care of, including our little flower girl and ring boy. I picked out a white satin basket that had bows and lace decorating it for our flower girl. For the ring boy to carry down the aisle I ordered a gorgeous white double hearts wedding pillow with the two gold hearts entwined, and a white satin ribbon for the rings. I had a mini tiara for the flower girl to wear in her hair that looked very much like the one I ordered for myself. She wore a pretty pink dress, made for a flower girl, and she did such a wonderful job as a flower girl and looked so brilliant that I thought she did look like royalty. The ring boy was just as cute in his small tuxedo and red boutonniere, and he did his task just as well. When he walked, he didn’t get out of sync with everyone else, and he bore the rings in distinguished fashion. They both made me very proud.
   Not only was I proud of the kids and the way my ceremony went, but I was also pretty proud at all the fabulous decorations and accessories I had chosen for the reception tables. Beautiful crystal champagne flutes with a hearts wedding design on them for the bridal table and other flutes for our guests that helped to make the tables shine with elegance. Each table also had a centerpiece made up especially for heart weddings and the wedding gifts for all of our guests were the perfect little hearts wedding favor that will make a very nice keepsake to help them remember this day they shared with us.

   The hearts and flowers that saturated our wedding made it the very definition of what a love-filled, Valentine’s Day wedding should be. I’m just glad I had the internet to turn to, it made everything so much easier.
