Enjoy your summer

This past weekend I was able to enjoy many of the pleasures of summer. I was able to go swimming. I went on a picnic. I also enjoyed the air conditioner during those hot days. Now its time to start some grilling, garden weeding, and maybe slip in a little canoeing. While I enjoy the many holidays in the winter months, I really enjoy all of the weekends of the summer months. Every weekend can seem like a holiday in this part of the country. Going by parks I see family reunions. There is a festival nearly every weekend in the county. There were numerous graduation parties last weekend and many more coming up next weekend. Chicken sandwiches, potato salad and decorated cakes will be the menu items of choice at many of these parties. All I can say is Yum Yum. Grilling a good steak or pork chop and smelling it as it cooks is a celebration in itself. At the picnic I attend this past Sunday I had my first taste of ice cold watermelon. It was delicious. I also enjoyed the Memorial Day parades as we honored all of our service members, both past and present. Watching members of Legions and VFWs proudly march by reminded me of the many sacrifices that have been made so that I can enjoy festivals, picnics and family reunions. I havent decided what I most enjoy about summer. Maybe its not having to put on clothes that weigh as much as me. Maybe its watching the corn grow across the road or biting into a vine ripened tomato. Any way you look at it Summer is here to enjoy. I hope everyone has a great summer and that I see you often at the festivals, reunions, and celebrations.

I was at OSU Hospital for my moms surgery and kept coughing, he said. Surprisingly Charlie was diagnosed with non-Hodkings lymphoma and given a 30 percent chance to survive. This was in 1995. Now 17 years later Charlie said it was a successful bone-marrow transplant that saved his life. Afterwards the doctor said it looks like it worked, Charlie said. He said 18 months after his last treatment he was lost his mother to colon cancer. There is still a lot of work we have to do. Lisa said her cancer has led her to many astonishing people. Her daughter Trisha joined Lisa, to recount Lisas fight against cancer telling that Lisa had chemotherapy and 33 radiation treatments. Lisa said her father, who had survived colon cancer, lung cancer and open heart surgery, was always an inspiration for her has she fought cancer. She also thanked Gail Schumacher, another cancer survivor, for all of her encouragement. We know there are a lot of survivors, Gail said. There are just not a lot of people who know about all the survivors. She encouraged all the cancer survivors to take part in the Survivors lap at the Relay for Life. Its important, Gail said. It gives hope to the next person who may be fighting cancer. All of those attending the Survivors Meal were given a card stating My Hope is to complete. The cards will be attached to balloons. These balloons will be launched as part of the Relay for Life. Cancer survivor Trent Schroeder (right, front) poses with his brothers Mitchell and Josh, during the Survivors Meal last Thursday.

June Ottoville students first in video contest programs at libraries

NEIGHBORS
By NANCY KLINE
OTTOVILLE A group of Ottoville students have been selected as the winners of a video contest sponsored by the Putnam County Youth Advisory Board. The Putnam County Youth Advisory Board has been looking at pressing issues in Putnam County High Schools. They identified four issues that they wanted to address including alcohol, eating disorders, distracted driving and suicide and depression. The board decided to host a video contest. Each school in Putnam County could make up to four videos. The videos could be no longer than five minutes. The Ottoville group of students chose to make a video on distracted driving. At the first meeting, everyone gave ideas on what the video should include, said Ryan Kemper, a Task Force member who also assisted with the video. He said anyone who wanted to help with the video could participate. The video shows four types of distracted driving. The first distraction is texting. The second distraction is loud music and friends. The third is talking on the cell phone and the fourth distraction is eating. The students video taped a simulation of a student driving down the road while being distracted. Those involved with e production, acting, editing, music, ideas and

The Black Swamp Writers Guild recently sponsored a writing contest for Putnam County students. The students had to use the words honor, illustrate, parents, comical and adventure in their story. Prizes awarded to the students included $15-first; $10-second and $5-third place. The stories were judged by members of the BSWG based on punctuation and spelling, creativity, and clarity. This years winners are all from Vicki Hermillers class at Columbus Grove. The Black Swamp Writers Guild meets 6:30 p.m., the third Thursday of each month at Trinity United Methodist Church in Ottawa. It includes members from Ottawa, McComb, Pandora, Leipsic, Columbus Grove and Kalida. Anyone is welcome to come to the meetings. Below are the winners of the contest First Place A Meatballs Life Baily Clement Some of you may find this comical, but its no adventure. Its how life works for us. I dont know how to illustrate this, but I can try. My name is Randall. Im a meatball in a steaming pot of sauce, ready to be devoured. But I dont want to die. Im so young. Right as the claw comes for me my parents plunge me under
the tangy sauce, and when the claw dips back in I, it gets m y parents instead of me. Im lucky to be alive and Ill honor my parents, until The claw returns for me. Second Place My Hero Riya Flores Growing up many kids have both parents around, but I only had one. My dad is like my best friend, there for me when I need him and even when we fight I know he still loves me anyway. Hes one of the most comical people I know and can illustrate his goofy side pretty well. My dad is in the Marine Corps and right now hes in Afghanistan. Even though it scares me and I miss him terribly, I know he is doing what he loves which is to honor his country while on the adventure of a lifetime. Third Place Stage Fright Lynea B. Diller Its an honor to sing for you, I say as I walk onto the stage. My legs begin to tremble and the butterflies in my stomach seem to illustrate how nervous I am. I glare out into the crowd and see my parents glued to the front row seats with smiles plastered to their faces. I have a good feeling theyre trying to be comical but arent fooling anyone. The music comes on and I begin to sing. All of a sudden a roar of clapping overwhelms me. I then begin to realize this adventure has just begun.

Honoring those who sacrificed life in service

By MARK HAMILTON
Voice Correspondant
OTTAWA A nice-size crowd was present at the Putnam County Courthouse on a hot sunny day Monday morning to honor those who sacrificed their lives in service to their country. Despite the high temperature that broke a local record, Memorial Day services were held under the sponsorship of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars in Ottawa. Pastor Ken Pollitz of the New Creation Luther Church in Ottawa, gave an emotional and inspirational speech to
show our gratitude for our nations heroes. He spoke of the words in Scripture that speaks of Jesus tremendous love and compared that to our fallen heroes. There is no greater love than for one to give his life for a friend. Rev. Pollitz said this occasion was designed to honor those soldiers who fought for the Union during the Civil War more than 150 years ago. That conflict caused more than 600,000 lives and began as Decoration Day. Today we recognize Memorial Day to honor all those men and women who gave their lives in service to their country. America has come a long way since the first battle for

Americans have gained the abolishment of past dictators and fascist regimes who have participated in genocide and human rights abuses. We have lost so much, but we Americans have gained from that loss. Those who abuse power and abuse human rights will be relentlessly pursued and collectively defeated. Our American heroes died for those whom they have never met. It is only right to express our gratitude for their service which has allowed us to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Live Healthy, Live Happy completes second campaign

The second challenge for the Live Healthy, Live Happy Putnam County wellness campaign was completed on May 18. The challenge was called Lose your hips on Route 66 and included tracking activity, drinking water, not eating fried foods or sweets, and optional weight loss if interested. There were 84 participants that logged over 11,492 miles of activity and lost over 220 pounds by competing in both challenges. This challenge also gave points for drinking water, when fried foods, sweet drinks, and sugary snacks were avoided, and when participants ate a healthy breakfast. Avoiding unhealthy foods proved to be difficult for most people, but when a healthy decision to avoid temptation was made it felt really good and empowering. Way to Go! During the challenge participants competed as individuals and teams. They made nicknames on the site during registration so that no other participants knew their real identify. The team that came in 1st place in the Route 66 challenge was Gussys Girls who won by MILES! They were followed by Health Angels then Oh Gee. All participants competed in the individual challenge as well. The top individuals to complete the course were Ewes not fat, Ewes fluffy, followed closely by Dance Lighter than looks, Peggy, YForce, Rexanne, and turtledoo. Looney, mrsl, Sam and Lucky rounded out the top ten. One of the fun things about the challenge was competing against each other and encouraging individuals and teams to keep up the good work and push on a little harder. All participants that completed the challenge were entered into a drawing for a Live Healthy, Live Happy Putnam County hooded sweatshirt. The top team won a gift certificate to Subway. Congratulations to all! Another interesting part of the challenge website was the individual and team message boards. Message boards consist of participants writing messages and posting them on the site. During the challenge people wrote about personal challenges they were facing in their wellness journey, and encouragement to other members. People also received points for submitting a testimonial about their journey. An example of a testimonial included: Thanks to this program...and everything I have learned, about eating right and the importance of exercise.

Plan your way to a fairytale wedding

(ARA) Youve dreamed of this day your entire life from the vows to the dress to the reception decor. But often, it can take a kings ransom to make the fairytale wedding of your dreams a reality. Fortunately, cost-conscious brides have discovered they can plan a wedding thats fit for a queen even on a shoestring budget. All it takes is a little creativity and know-how. Many brides have discovered they can stretch their wedding budgets by taking on a few simple do-ityourself projects, says Rust-Oleum Designer Angie Stinner. These fun, easy-to-do projects can make any wedding special without busting the budget. Shimmering centerpieces. If you havent paid a visit to your neighborhood Dollar Store lately, you may be surprised at the variety of glass vases, jars and containers on the shelves. Choose one or mix and match several for each reception table. Then visit the spray paint aisle of your local home center. Spray paints come in a variety of on-trend colors and finishes - and many are designed for glass or ceramic. Chose a color that coordinates with your wedding decor. Or try something unexpected, like Frosted Sea Glass spray paint. It ning today and hand crafted signs are a great way to display a wedding schedule, menu or to add a personal touch to your nuptials. Craft or hobby stores carry wood plaques in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some come with predrilled holes for hanging. After youve selected plaques in the size and shape, coat them with Rust-Oleum Chalkboard Paint. It comes in variety of colors beyond traditional black and green like Raspberry and Deep Teal. Once the chalkboard surface is dry, tie ribbons in coordinating colors through the holes for hanging and write names, messages, menus or schedules for a truly personalized touch. This is our life. Youve known most of your wedding guests your entire life, but what about those distant relatives on the grooms side? Introduce yourselves with a photo timeline. All you need are photos from your past, an easel and a little creativity. Purchase a sheet of Masonite at your local home center. Then coat the entire surface with Rust-Oleum Magnetic Paint. Add a burst of color with one of this seasons hottest wedding colors like Winter Gray, Candy Pink or Sun Yellow with Painters Touch Ultra Cover 2X spray paint. Hang the photos in chronological order with stylish magnets.

Tips for planning a wedding that is more personalized

(ARA) Planning a wedding today is about all the little details that make it perfect for the bride and groom. Personalizing every aspect of the big day is the key, as couples try to create a one-of-a-kind event. Here are some tips on how to pull it off, according to Things Remembered, the leader in personalized gift-giving.
1. Create a wedding logo

Create a wedding motif or logo that is uniquely for the couple. Guests will see that logo on invitations, programs, the flutes the bride and groom toast with and the napkins. Couples truly like to brand their weddings, says Amy Myers, vice president of creative services at Things Remembered. When guests see the logo throughout the day, it seems to become more impressive each time. Its the little touches that make a big impact. When creating the logo, dont just choose a symbol for the motifs, such as a palm tree or fern. Take the next step and create a customized logo. A logo can be as simple as the bride and grooms initials or ornate and detailed. While it can be costly to have a logo designed, its possible to find a good deal.

For most couples, the cost of a wedding ranks right up there with other major investments like a car purchase or a down payment on a home.
Make sure your wedding day is the best day of your life
(ARA) You spend your life dreaming about your wedding day, so imagining it going any other way than perfect is not easy to think about. However, it doesnt hurt to do a little planning for potential setbacks as you continue to invest precious time and money into your big day. Not only do you have a lot of emotions riding on your wedding, but likely a lot of money, too. For most couples, the cost of a wedding ranks right up there with other major investments like a car purchase or a down payment on a home. The level of investment alone makes planning for the worst a necessary part of preparing for your nuptials. Purchasing wedding insurance can give you financial protection and peace of mind as you plan your wedding. With wedding insurance policies from providers like WedSafe, you can obtain coverage for up to the full cost of your wedding if your event is forced to be canceled or postponed due to unforeseen circumstances such as an extreme weather event. Wedding insurance can also cover items such as the cost of restaging the photos if your photographer doesnt show up, or reimburse expenses to repair or replace your wedding dress or other special attire that could get stained or damaged. You can also purchase liability insurance to protect yourself from claims of legal liability for injuries, alcoholrelated incidents or property damage. In addition to buying insurance, here are a few more suggestions for covering all your bases as you plan your big day: Pay by credit card instead of check in the event a business you were working with would not be able to provide the service you asked of them. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, you have the right to dispute charges on your credit card you didnt make, are incorrect, or for goods or services you didnt receive. That same protection may not be available if you pay by cash or check. Read and understand all contracts, including any insurance policies. If you arent positive that you understand an agreement, it makes sense to get some help wading through the legal wording, especially any obligations on your part, how fees, deposits or penalties are addressed, and your rights if a vendor does not perform its contracted responsibilities. Consider working with a professional, accredited wedding planner. Often the cost of hiring a planner can pay for itself. Research your venue and vendors. Select established vendors that have good reputations.

Its possible to plan a wedding with five-star touches at nearly any budget level.
Say I do to the seasons trendiest bridal accessories

(ARA) Finally found the perfect dress? Now its time to go from blushing bride to a fashion stand-out your family and friends will be talking about for years. Whether you prefer the classic elegance of old-Hollywood glamour or the daring innovation of the avant-garde, fashion instructors from several Art Institutes school locations share the top trends in bridal accessories that can help you achieve a one-of-a-kind look on your wedding day. Accessories can be a fun and easy way for brides to add some creativity to their style, while also showing off their personality. One way to look unique on your wedding day is through headpieces, according to Erica Sewell, Fashion Instructor at The Art Institute of New York City.
Five expert tips for a five-star wedding experience

(ARA) The average couple shells out nearly $27,000 just to say their I dos, according to a recent survey. That doesnt include the cost of the honeymoon, either. If youre spending that kind of money, shouldnt your unforgettable wedding be a five-star event? Its possible to plan a wedding with five-star touches at nearly any budget level, says Jenna Check, wedding specialist at The American Club Resort in Kohler, Wis., Tip No. 1: Give your guests ample time to ogle the cake, that is. Often, the cake arrives in the reception room just in time for the bride and groom to partake in the cake-cutting ceremony, says head pastry Chef Richard Palm. And then its quickly whisked away to be cut, plated and sauced in order to create a seamless dining experience when served as the dessert. For a more memorable experience, give your guests extra time to view, photograph and comment on the cake by using additional cake not immediately needed for food service in the reception room. Having the time to ogle the cake will make it that much more memorable, Palm says. Not sure what to do with the leftover cake? Freeze the top layer to be thawed and eaten on your first anniversary, or serve the extra cake the following day at a gift-opening party. Tip No. 2: Its better to look good and to feel good. Wedding planning can be stressful, and stress can take a toll on your appearance as well as your health. Its important for brides-to-be to take steps to minimize stress and its effects before their big day, says Jean Kolb, the resorts director of wellness and Kohler Waters Spa. Establish a wellness routine well in advance of your wedding day and include daily meditation and exercise in your ritual, she advises. Your routine could be as simple as a yoga class, five minutes of at-home meditation and a brisk walk every day. As your wedding day approaches, arrange a massage and spa time for yourself and your attendants. A massage for the bride is not just a luxury, Kolb says. Its a tried-and-true way of calming nerves prior to your special day. Tip No. 3: Guys and grooms need a break, too. Brides arent the only ones who can feel stressed before the wedding day. Bridegrooms and groomsmen can also benefit from some relaxation. If youre doing a destination wedding, take advantage of recreational opportunities like golf to help bond and decompress. Enjoy everything at a leisurely pace, advises Ed Elsner, tournament coordinator at Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run. Play the day before the wedding, not on the wedding day, so that you dont stress yourself with conflicting responsibilities. And allow plenty of time for relaxing afterward with a few cocktails and cigars. Tip No. 4: Personalize everything, including your drinks. Personalization is a popular trend in weddings, and it touches every aspect of your day, from the colors you choose for your bouquet and bridesmaid gowns, to the hors doeuvres and entrees served at the reception. Dont forget to personalize your drink selection, too. Missy Dortman, director of meetings and events, says her team often receives requests from couples to create a personalized cocktail for their weddings. We try to incorporate something special from their courting, such as the drink the bride might have enjoyed on their first date, a drink they always share, or something that pays homage to the color of the attendants dresses, Dortman says. One fun couple named Brad and Alexandra chose to serve Brandy Alexanders. Tip No. 5 Variety is the spice of life and it makes for great pictures, too. Photos of your wedding will be the tangible memory of your big day, so its important to keep in mind how theyll look when youre choosing your wedding venue, says Christine Loose, resident manager for the American Club and Inn on Woodlake. Look for venues that offer a variety of picture settings, from a beautifully landscaped garden setting to an elegant courtyard to a paved lane for carriage rides.
Headpieces:
Brides are trading in traditional veils in lieu of headbands, fascinators, blushers, feathers and for the daring brides, hats. Jewels and headbands, like the ones seen recently on Kim Kardashian and Alicia Keys, are another great alternative to traditional veils. Tiaras are another bridal classic that are getting a makeover. They are being replaced by birdcage veils, which are short, face-framing veils that were popular in the 40s, and fascinators, like those seen during the royal wedding.
Jewelry:
When looking at jewelry, many brides are keeping it simple or focusing on statement pieces that can be worn again and again after the wedding is over. Your dress you wear one time. Your accessories are for a lifetime, says Michelle Zabel, Fashion Instructor at The Art Institute of Washington Dulles, a branch of The Art Institute of Atlanta. People are spending more on their accessories, because they can wear them again. Another trend in jewelry is vintage pieces. Brides are incorporating vintage pieces from their family, says Michael Watson, Fashion Instructor at The Art Institute of Charlotte. These pieces are not only unique, but they also have sentimental value. And, whether vintage or new, brooches and lariats are making a return to the scene, but are being used in unexpected ways. Lariats are long chains that can be wrapped around the neck several times with the ends either hanging loosely or tied into a y shape.
Feathers:
If the thought of a feathered headpiece worthy of Carrie Bradshaws couture-clad bride seems a little extreme for your tastes, dont worry. Feathers are definitely having a fashion moment, and the ways to incorporate them are endless. According to Watson, feathers have transitioned into an inexpensive way to make your look unique. Sewell agrees, noting that people are putting feathers on fascinators, clips, combs and veils. Feathers are a big story as far as headgear, she says. Headpieces arent the only place one can find feathers. Just like brooches, they are also turning up on wedding bouquets.
PLANNING TIPS
Attainable destination weddings

(ARA) Planning a wedding in a more attainable destination is becoming popular among couples who want to enjoy a warm or unconventional location while also offering their guests an affordable and fun getaway. These days, its not overly difficult for a couple to plan a destination wedding, even when both members of the bridal couple live a long distance from the chosen city. If youve recently become engaged, and are thinking you might be interested in planning a destination wedding, check out these tips to help you easily organize everything, even from afar. Location, location, location When you look through your wedding album on your 20th anniversary, youre going to want to see beautiful images that continue to take your breath away. Beach photos are extremely popular, as are historic and garden settings. Myrtle Beach, S.C., has 60 miles of public beaches, gorgeous waterfront reception venues, breathtaking gardens and historic plantation settings that provide plenty of options for the perfect wedding location. Visit the Myrtle Beach Area Convention and Visitors Bureau at visitmyrtlebeach. com to discover more about this wedding destination. Make it a vacation your guests will remember Choose a destination that offers a variety of attractions to fit every price point, age group and preference. If possible, visit the local CVB to snag visitor guides and destination brochures to add to any welcome bags. Send out Save The Date info early Because your wedding could involve extensive travel or require guests to schedule vacation time, sending a Save The Date early in your engagement is important. Prioritize your invite list and destination immediately so your notices are timely and informative. Include options for nearby hotels, bed and breakfasts, or even rental home options with differ-
Shoes:
What girl doesnt love her shoes, and for todays bride pretty much anything goes. For something unexpected, brides can add a pop of color with their shoes or even go a little trendier with lace booties. Sewell says she is also seeing shoes in general becoming less traditional and more casual.

Reach out to a local bridal association Chances are there is a local bridal association available to help you plan everything. For example, the Grand Strand Bridal Association in Myrtle Beach exists to help brides and grooms choose their wedding professionals wisely. Because theyre local and work close to the industry, these experts know how to match a couple with wedding planners, DJs, caterers, officiates and lodging based on the couples budget and wedding preferences. Search for package deals Consider finding a company or venue that can handle all the details in one complete package. When planning a wedding long distance, it can become more difficult, and more costly, to negotiate every single detail about the wedding. Research any legal requirements Find out if the city and state (or country) where youre planning your wedding has any special time requirements for obtaining a wedding license. In Myrtle Beach, for example, a wedding license application must be filed a minimum of 24 hours before a license can be issued. Other locations may require a wait period of several weeks. Read the fine print This tip is for every couple planning a wedding, not just destination weddings. For every contract signed, always read the fine print so there wont be any surprises if something out of the normal were to happen with a vendor. Destination weddings are a lot of fun to plan and even more fun to enjoy with close family and friends. If you just became engaged, get started now to plan the perfect destination wedding for you and your spouse to be.

How to hire a wedding photographer

(ARA) The average wedding costs about $27,000, according to a recent survey from The Knot. One of the most important investments for brides and grooms is hiring the right professional photographer to capture the special moments of their big day. In fact, about a quarter of brides responding to a recent Shutterfly survey wished they would have invested more on a photographer. I cant even count the number of newlyweds Ive talked to who have regretted skimping on photography at their wedding, says Tim Meyer, a professional wedding photographer and program chair of the portrait division of photography at Brooks Institute, a leading provider of higher education for film, visual journalism, graphic design and photography. With todays camera technology, any wedding guest can take photos of the bride and groom, but professionals are highly skilled in finding and capturing those special moments and evoking the feelings of that day through photos and videos. A couples wedding often speeds past the bride and groom quicker than could be imagined, and because of that, having a special, professional way to capture the most important moments of that big day is critical. According to Meyer, these five tips can help engaged couples hire the right professional photographer for their wedding: When researching photographers, look at their entire body of work to determine if you like what you see and if it matches your style. Many wedding photographers are also fine art, lifestyle or editorial photographers who can incorporate those skills into wedding shots, making the memories of that big day unique and special to you. Experience counts. Consider your photographers experience level, as well as previous customers experiences with the photographer in general. Meyer recommends that brides and grooms ask these questions to help guide their decision on a wedding photographer: 1. Have they photographed at your intended ceremony or reception location before? 2. Have they been in the profession for more than a few years? 3. Are they a full-time professional or do they only photograph weddings as a hobby or as parttime income? 4. Do they belong to any professional associations or have a photographic education? 5. Can you talk to previous clients about their experience? Ask potential wedding photographers about their approach and capabilities for capturing all the right moments on your special day. More photographers today, like Brooks Institute graduate Jose Villa (www.josevillaphoto. com), are acting as a one-stop shop for not only capturing still photos but also providing a second shooter who can do both

One of the most important investments for brides and grooms is hiring the right professional photographer to capture the special moments of their big day. videography and journalisticstyle candids. For example, Villa partners with a video production company to provide clients with a short film of their wedding day. Set your special requests upfront. Is it important to you to make sure you have a photo of you and your sister? Let your photographer and videographer know in advance if there are any specific shots or moments you want to make sure they do not miss. Most photographers will provide you with combination of both candids and posed shots to capture everything, and will edit later. Get to know the photographer/ videographer and let them get to know you. Whether you schedule engagement photos or take your photographer out to dinner, its important you feel comfortable enough around that person to be yourself on your wedding day so that they capture the real you.
Fun, formal and beyond: what the groom wears

(ARA) When you think of a wedding, you probably think of the brides dress, the flower arrangements, the food and the music. But what about the groom? More specifically, what about the grooms attire? Its his special day, too. So its time to devote some attention to him. Think back to all the weddings of decades past. What was the groom wearing as he watched his bride walk down the aisle? Most weddings were formal occasions and the tuxedo ruled the day. But times have changed. One of the reasons for this shift could be the economy says Jane Carlton Hall, Fashion Design instructor at The Art Institute of Houston. When its time to find a place to cut costs when planning your wedding in this economy, a formal tux is one place couples start, she says. Hall points out that even if the groom springs for a new suit, itll be something he can wear again and again. But other factors also come into play. Now people are much more creative, with destination weddings and dude ranch weddings, which are popular here in Arizona, and the attire matches The groom sits with his best man on the steps.

Our modern world has added a new element for brides to consider the risk of identity theft.
Changing your name?

What you should know to protect against identity theft
(ARA) After the I dos are said, will you change your last name? Brides consider a host of factors when answering that question everything from how a name change might affect a womans sense of identity to how having the same last name can make a family feel more bonded. Our modern world has added a new element for brides to consider the risk of identity theft. While theres no one right or wrong answer to the question of whether you should change your name, its important to be aware of how the name change process can increase your risk of identity theft. Hopefully, as a single woman, you have already taken steps to protect against identity theft. These precautions will serve you well as you go through the name-changing process, which is a haven of opportunity for identity thieves. Youll be changing important documents, like your Social Security card and drivers license, and sharing personal, identifying information with a host of organizations from credit card issuers to your bank. If you choose to take your spouses name, or to hyphenate your maiden last name with your new married last name, youll need to make changes anywhere your maiden name appears. Many of those documents and accounts will be of interest to identity thieves, including: Social Security card Drivers license Passport Bank account(s) Credit card(s) Health insurance cards Investment accounts Gym club memberships Vehicle registration and auto insurance And, for those who try to balance the desire to maintain their individual identity with showing solidarity for their mate by hyphenating, keep in mind that doing so puts your maiden name out there for everyone to see down the road when your own children need to use it as a security question answer. If you decide to change your name, you can take steps to help prevent identity theft, including: Consider using an identity theft detection, protection and resolution product like ProtectMyID. The service monitors your credit report on a daily basis to help you catch signs of identity theft quickly. Do as much of the legwork in person as possible. Take your marriage certificate to your local Social Security office and complete the change form there. Dont fax or email it, even if a helpful agent agrees to accept it in this form. And never leave your marriage certificate with the agent. Likewise, head into your local bank branch and fill out the necessary change paperwork in person. Call credit card issuers regarding the name change after youve received your updated Social Security card and drivers license. Some may be willing to conduct the change over the phone. Others will ask to see a copy of your marriage certificate. Be sure to find out if they can take a photocopy or if they require an original duplicate.
the location, says Elizabeth Heuisler, academic director for Fashion Design and Fashion Marketing at The Art Institute of Tucson. She advises that grooms still lay out some cash for a new pair of jeans if they wind up saying their I dos at a dude ranch. Cyndy McCoy, a Fashion Retail Management instructor at The Art Institute of Fort Worth, a campus of South University adds, A nice light colored shirt with linen pants and sandals or even
barefoot works very well for the groom at a beach wedding. And even if you are taking a more traditional route and planning a formal evening wedding, you dont necessarily need a tux. Nothing dictates that you have to wear a tux, says McCoy. A nice black suit works quite well. Hall advises that even if you dont necessarily plan on wearing a tux, a formalwear store is a good place to go for ideas and advice about current trends.

HOME SWEET FIRST HOME
Tips for moving into your first home Should

(ARA) The weddings over, the thank yous are sent and the top cake tier is in the freezer, waiting for your first anniversary celebration. Now you and your new spouse are starting to act on the plans youve made for your life together, and are ready to take that big step in moving into your first real home. Its a big task, joining together two households and finding the perfect location with great schools, affordable taxes and good neighbors. But once youve signed on the dotted line for the home where you will begin your life as a couple and maybe also raise your family when the time arrives youre ready to plan your big move. Many newlyweds face the chore of merging furniture, kitchen equipment and closet space from two households. To start your moving process off on the right foot, consider eliminating duplicate items and having a garage sale, or donating items, before beginning the packing process. Its a great chance to upgrade household furnishings especially if you received something new as a wedding gift. Then determine what size of moving truck youll need. A good rule is to plan for 150 cubic feet of space for every fully furnished room. Many young couples moving from a small apartment or condo into a larger first home will find a 12- or 16-foot Penske rental truck more than adequate. Plan to reserve your truck at least two weeks in advance. Penske Truck Rental offers rental discounts for AAA members to help young couples with savings. For help in making moving day go smoothly, use these tips from Penske. Theyve been in the do-ityourself moving business for more than 40 years: Start early and group items together Get good, sturdy boxes of various sizes, and then fill them with items of a similar content. Some traditional ways to group items are by item type (i.e. photo frames) or by contents of a room. Label each box with the room name, and the contents. Make sure you have plenty of packing bubbles or towels and cloths on hand to keep breakable items from being damaged in the move. Still unpacking your wedding gifts? If space isnt a concern, keep those wedding gifts in their original boxes, because the store packaging will help protect the items. But if space is tight in the rental truck, throw away the store packaging and carefully repack in your moving boxes with plenty of padding to protect your new gifts. Save your muscles Ask friends to help you with carrying boxes. If something is heavy, enlist some help to prevent injury or strain on your muscles. Loading the truck Load the largest items (i.e. bed, couch, dresser) into the truck first to ensure they will fit, and then start loading the heaviest boxes on the bottom and lighter boxes on top. Having each box labeled with contents will help prevent you and your friends from packing heavy books on top of your new fine china wedding gifts. Penske features an online Truck Wizard application to assist. When you cross the threshold of your new home the first time as a married couple youll be surrounded by the excitement and energy of so many adventures to come in your future.

BROKEN ENGAGEMENT
you return the ring?

(ARA) A broken engagement can be a very painful and confusing experience. And in the fog of hurt feelings that accompany such a stressful moment, one question often arises: Should the engagement ring be returned? With an estimated 15 to 20 percent of engagements broken off annually, its a question thats more common than you think. The reason it comes up is that the laws surrounding broken engagements and engagement rings are not always clear, according to FindLaw.com, the nations leading website for free legal information. Laws regarding the return of engagement rings vary by state. Some states incorporate a fault-based approach, while other states do not. Some state laws look at an engagement ring as a gift, while others consider it a conditional gift dependent on a future event (a wedding) taking place. Giving back an engagement ring is made even more complex by changing social and economic factors. More couples are living together before they get married, which often leads to the joint purchase of an engagement ring, as well as such assets as furniture and other household items. And because many engagement rings are purchased with a credit card or financed through the jewelry store, the giver could still be liable for paying off the purchase long after the engagement has been broken.
Tips for planning a safe and healthy honeymoon

(ARA) Anyone who has taken the walk down the aisle and said I do knows that your wedding day is one of the happiest days of your life. So why not accompany it with the best vacation of your life? Your honeymoon is not only a great chance to take the trip of a lifetime; its also the perfect opportunity to connect to your new spouse through a shared and unforgettable experience. Every couples honeymoon plans are as unique as they are those looking for romance might choose a secluded beachfront resort, while adventurers might look for a trip that takes them off the beaten path. Let your travel experience be your guide. If youre taking your first trip together, it might be a good to opt for a low-stress, easy-to-plan vacation to an all-inclusive resort. If youve got a passport full of stamps, you might want to choose that longed-for, far away destination that gets both you and your spouse excited to hit the trail. No matter where you go and what you choose to do, there are some essential planning tips that apply to any honeymoon. Keep these tips in mind to ensure that your trip of a lifetime is safe, memorable and worry-free.
Engagement ring etiquette

According to The Knot, a wedding and relationships website, If the bride calls off the wedding and her ring was a gift from the groom, its appropriate for her to return it. If the groom calls it off, the bride may still want to return the ring because she doesnt want to be reminded of their failed engagement. If he was a real jerk though, we cant argue against taking it to a pawnshop. If the ring is a family heirloom (grandmothers engagement ring), continues The Knot.com, it should be returned regardless of why the wedding was cancelled. If the couple bought it together, they need to decide what to do with it, as with any other joint purchase (perhaps they can take it to a pawnshop together and split the earnings).
Be smart about booking.

Reserving airline tickets and hotel rooms for your honeymoon presents a unique situation. If youre leaving right after the wedding, its better to make reservations in the brides maiden name, as it can take a number of weeks to process a name change on a passport and your drivers license.

Determining if its a gift

So was the engagement ring a gift or not? What happens if an engagement ring is given on Valentines Day or Christmas? Some states use a no-fault, conditional gift approach to settling disagreements about whether an engagement ring should be returned. Others such as Montana classify the ring as an unconditional gift and award it to the receiver in the case of broken engagements.
