There I was eight years ago my wedding
was just in a couple days and I was really excited but I was nervous about
one thing one very strange thing actually you know in the observant
circles there's a custom that's kind of like the Jewish version of the bachelor
party that a groom just the Shabbat before the wedding goes up to the Torah
to say a blessing over the Torah on the Shabbat before the wedding
he's called up in a nice singsong everybody shears or claps and throws
candy at the groom that's what happens usually it's pretty quick simple nobody
thinks too much about it but I was freaking out about that particular
blessing I was supposed to make over the Torah why let's back up a couple years I
grew up with a debilitating stutter I. Couldn't speak I couldn't order pizza at
the pizza shop I couldn't answer a question in class I couldn't say the
word hello over the phone and I often couldn't even say my own name that's how
badly I stuttered thankfully I was able to find ways over the next number of
years to word switch which means I. Creatively find ways that when I know
that I'm going to stutter on a word I. Maneuver around the word and I use a
synonym a different word I'm able to get around it that's why I'm able to do
these videos going into the wedding that blessing had me freaking out because
that blessing I can't word switch I.
Can't use synonyms when I'm making a
blessing at the Torah there's set text that I got to write
about God and about the blessing and about the Torah there's nothing else
that I could do. I was really nervous. I. Was okay with the fact that I stuttered
I became comfortable with it in my teenage years but I wasn't in the mood
for a full-out stuttering episode in front of all the future family friends
and cousins and neighbors who were coming to celebrate and we're all
excited for this particular event.
I got it to the tour anyways and I decided I'm
just gonna do this and if I stutter it's okay my hands are sweaty my palms are
wet and I look inside the Torah so that the
person beside me who's reading can show me the first six words where he's about
to begin. As soon as my eyes connect with those six words I start to not just
shake but to tremble tears well up in my eyes. Those six words absolutely blew me
away. The following are the six words VaYomer
Hashem el Moshe, God said to Moses, or Moshe or Moe my Hebrew name Moshe.
Again
God said to Moe or Moshe al tira. Al tira - do not fear - God said to Moshe al
tira do not fear do not fear God was telling me Moshe
don't fear. He wasn't telling me Moshe it's going to be easy. He wasn't telling
me Moshe it's going to be smooth it wasn't smooth and it wasn't easy it's
not smooth and it's not easy but He was telling me these two words that stay
with me every single day al tira do not fear I'm here with you I love you I
care about you more than you can possibly imagine
I know it's hard with your stutter but don't worry I'm with you it's there for
a reason al tira it's all for the best those
words out here I have stayed with me ever since.
Every day I think about the
words al tira whether it's worrying about my stutter or other challenges
that I go through al tira God gives them to me with love He takes care of me
He is involved every single moment of my life. Sometimes He will send these
prophetic messages and other times it seems like He's hiding but He's always
there. Al tira. Let us all recognize that message about
tira whether it's VaYomer hashem el Moshe insert your name there.
God wants us to
recognize that He gives us everything with love with care with compassion the
challenges our beautiful gifts they're just wrapped in
different way. May we be blessed to incorporate that message into our lives
and lead much more meaningful and happier lives as a result.

So you're planning the rehearsal dinner, and
you're not quite sure where to start because you've never planned one before. Hi, I'm Jessica
Meiczinger, and I'm going to talk about how to plan a rehearsal dinner for an upcoming
wedding. First of all, usually it's the groom's parent's responsibility to plan the rehearsal
dinner for the wedding. You want to take into consideration the guest list.
Figure out who
you want to invite to the rehearsal dinner. Typically it's the bridal party, the bride's
parents, immediate family. But other times if you're having a destination wedding or
you have a lot of people coming in from out of town, you invite those people to the rehearsal
dinner as well. Second of all, you want to pick a location and typically if you're having
the wedding at the hotel, I would go ahead and have the rehearsal dinner in the same
location or somewhere nearby so people don't have to travel too far to get to the rehearsal
dinner spot.
If you're looking to do something fun, you could do something casual poolside.
You could have a bar-b-que. You could do something out on the beach. If you want something to
be an ice breaker and get people mingling and talking and having a good time, do something
fun like go bowling or go sailing or a dinner cruise, just kind of a nice ice breaker to
start off the wedding weekend. Also you want to take into consideration if you're doing
a theme, plan your menu around that.
If you're doing like a Mexican Fiesta, go ahead and
do you know Mexican theme dinner items or appetizers. If you're doing something poolside,
maybe do a Caribbean theme menu or seafood, especially if you're getting married in Florida
or along the coast. Another idea for the food is that you don't want it to overshadow the
wedding reception's menu. So you don't if you're doing a plated dinner for the wedding
reception, do something different for the rehearsal dinner whether it be a different
entree or maybe doing a buffet, having something a little less casual.
Also things to consider
when you're doing a rehearsal dinner, you don't necessarily have to have a full bar.
You can just offer a cash bar to your guest or you can just do it keep it simple with
some nice coffees and teas and beer and wine and and call it a day. So those are just some
ideas on how to plan your rehearsal dinner for your upcoming wedding. Again I'm Jessica
Meiczinger and happy planning..
So you've decided on your favors and you want
to go ahead and do a candy buffet for to offer your guests for your wedding favors at your
wedding reception. I'm Jessica Meiczinger with Simply Divine Events, and I'm going to
talk to you about how to set up your candy buffet for your wedding reception. First of
all, you want to go ahead and purchase a bunch of different styles, types, and sizes of containers
as well as scoops. You know on-line is a great resource or you can buy them wholesale or
in discount stores.
One thing to keep in mind is make sure they're tall to fit certain candies.
Also make sure the neck and the opening of the vase is wide enough so you know you can
scoop out the candy easily. When choosing your candy, keep in mind the bride and groom's
favorites. You can add personalized M&Ms. You can do your favorite candies that you've
enjoyed growing up.
You could do stick to one type of candy like all chocolates. You
could also pick out candy that's geared towards the color that of the theme that you incorporated
in your wedding. You know if you do red, do like all red jelly beans and Twizzlers and
lollipops. You know offer a wide variety to your guests.
And it's just a really fun idea
and every you know everybody who's young at heart loves candy. And make sure you get little
containers. You can do like little cellophane bags. You can do little Chinese to go boxes
or little cake boxes.
And just write a little thank you note to the guests and have them
you know just mention you know how sweet it is you know that you are able to attend the
event celebration you know is sweet. Just some little cute little tag lines to you know
thank the guests and incorporate with your little favors. So those are just some ideas
on how to set up your candy buffet for your wedding reception. Again I'm Jessica Meiczinger,
and I'm sure everything is going to look beautiful..
So you've planned all the details to your
wedding, and you've gotten all your RSVPs back and you're trying to develop a seating
plan for your wedding dinner. Hi I'm Jessica Meiczinger, and I'm going to tell you the
steps and what to do in planning your seating arrangements for your wedding dinner. First
of all, you want to be familiar with the venue. Go ahead and get a blank floor plan or pre-arranged
floor plan from the catering manager at the venue or the caterer or the facility manager
if you're having it not at a hotel.
Also you want to go through all your wedding invitations
and RSVPs and make sure everybody's accounted for. You definitely don't want to leave somebody
out. And then you'll want to go ahead and start you know grouping the people that know
each other you know family members, friends, you know bride side, groom side. And start
you know setting your tables out.
When doing your floor plan, you want to make sure the
family tables are the closest to the head table, which are the two closest tables to
the top. And then you know branch everybody else out in groups from there. Also keep in
mind you know if there's anybody pregnant or with kids, seat them close to the restrooms
and kind of away from the entertainment so they have easy access to move throughout the
evening. Also you know keep in mind your elderly guests as well.
You don't want to seat them
too close to the entertainment because they usually don't like the loud noise and want
to just kind of sit back and relax and enjoy themselves and talk amongst their peers. When
you do the grouping, you want to go ahead and group them by table. Here we've done a
little chart. It demonstrates the names of who's sitting at that table, the name or number
of that table, and also what the guest is having.
And you know sometimes you might have
a guest that has special dietary needs or is having something different than all the
rest of the guests. So you want to make notations on this you know seating chart as well. Once
you've done that, you want to go ahead and print your place cards and make a copy of
the seating chart and the floor plan and give those to your wedding coordinator, also the
banquet staff, your catering manager as well so that way they can ensure smooth dinner
service throughout the evening at your reception. So again I'm Jessica Meiczinger with Simply
Divine Events and good luck in arranging your seating plan..
[Music Playing: Suzanne Vega Toms Diner] Lip Syncing: I am sitting in the morning at the diner on the corner. I am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee. And he fills it only halfway and before I even argue, he is looking out the window at somebody coming in. Doo doo doo doo doo da doo doo da da doo doo da da doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo da doo doo da da doo doo da da doo doo Caller: Hey Kristin and Dannielle, this is Allie.
Im calling because my girlfriend and I never fight usually... We just recently got engaged, and now were starting to fight over the wedding planning. Its getting to the point where Im just agreeing with everything she says, just so shell stop. What should I do? I dont want a wedding, but I dont like anything that weve planned.
Thank you. Wooooow. You know what I mean? I do know what you mean. Its like, the thing about weddings is its like collaborating on a work project.
(Dannielle: Right.) Right? Like, its like you, in normal life, you and your future wife probably dont work on things like that. You know? Its like she does her thing, you do your thing. But you dont have to, like, actually create an event together. I dont think that you should be backing down for everything because youll just end up resenting your...
Beyonce. You know what I mean? You are saying, I dont want to deal with the fighting so Im backing down to avoid the issue. But as with anything else in life, it doesnt work. (Dannielle: Yeah.) It actually hurts way more than it helps when you back down on somebody elses wishes.
So, I think you need to have a sit down conversation, and it needs to not be like in the middle of doing a wedding thing. Im going to suggest holding wedding forum meetings. You can call them that, or you can call them, like, fun time with ice and wedding talks. Oh, thats better.
Or whatever. Whatever, you know, suits your fancy. You sit down, and the point of the meeting isnt to plan anything, right? Youre not going to, like, try to check off lists, or like write out invitations, or whatever the hell youre doing. Youre just going to check in with each other on the plans that youve made the week prior, and that you are planning to make the week coming up, and talk about them in a calm, like, cool situation where you both hear each other out.
I also think this is a very good map for any fight. Because you...I mean, if youre fighting and youre both on opposite sides of the argument or whatever, you can sit down and... [Car Honking] So rude. So, sitting down and saying this is my point of view, this is your point of view, worst case scenario, what could happen? Go with a compromise that makes no sense.
[Laughing] Like, you know, she wants it at city hall, and you want a giant wedding at a church. Compromise that makes no sense. Lets do it in a jump castle and go from there. Fantastic compromise.
What are other compromises under jump castle? Also, when you are done making all of your compromises, and perhaps both of you are feeling excited about some and a little underwhelmed with others, I need you to remember something. The reason most of us get married, those of us who get married, this is why we do it. Because we want to, like, say that we love somebody else in the presence of people who mean the world to us. I can promise you that when you get to your wedding day, you are not going to give a flying fuck if the napkins are green and you wanted them to be blue.
You arent even going to touch a napkin. Youll literally never see a napkin. You wont see a napkin. So like remember that, remember what the day is about.
When I went into my wedding, my goal was that all of my guests had a really good ass time. That was it. None of the colors mattered. None of it mattered.
It was just I want everybody to have fun. So make sure theres drinks, and make sure theres food. Yeah, I had a lot of fun. Oh, and good music.
Have Dannielle do your playlist. Yeah, thank you! She did mine. I did a great job. Good luck to you both.
[Singing] Happy trails to you. Bye! [Music Playing: Suzanne Vega Toms Diner] Lip Syncing: I am thinking of your voice. Doo doo doo doo doo da doo doo da da doo doo da da doo doo [Repeating] [Car Honking] I mean. Hes probably stuck behind a...
[Car Honking] Person outside yelling: What do you want me to do? Im fuckin... .
