Fortune Bouquet

Hi!

Hope this finds you all well. I'm really enjoying getting caught up on the board; the semester finally ended and all the paper-writing and grading with it! Yay!

So, because I always hated it at weddings when they would holler out, "All the single girls, come to the front!", I am attempting to carry out an idea I found in Martha Stewart Weddings for the throwing of the bridal bouquet. (When I was little, it was fun and exciting, but with each wedding as I got older, I just felt embarrassed! ;) Of course, there's certainly no shame in being single, but being pulled out of the crowd always made me uncomfortable.)

So, I think I'm going to try out Martha's suggestion. It involves tying together several small bouquets of flowers with a romantic fortune attached to each one. Before throwing it, the bride unties the ribbon holding them all together and then they disperse when you throw them.

Martha's is just for single people -- for example, one is "You will marry the boy next door". But I'd like to include more than just single girls at my wedding, to avoid the "singling out". What kind of fortunes could I write that would maybe be romantic but applicable to single or attached people? Any ideas?

You could write things that could apply to singles or couples such as: "Your true love and you will last forever." or "A happy person is love embodied." I know, I know, corny, right? I'm definitely no greeting card writer. Hope that helps though. :P

To untie a large bouquet into several...I think is priceless. I just wished that we had thought about that in our daughters wedding last June. That is SOO cool.

How about just some quotes that talk about love, that would work for singles or married ladies. I just LOVE this idea (as a single girl who is getting older all the time and gets dragged out there for the bouquet toss :P )

Ok here I go...pulling out my collection of mini books with quotes on love (I'm a hopeless sap hehe)

To love is to place our happiness in the happiness of another. Gottfried Wilhelm Von Leibniz

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. George Sand

Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. H.L. Mencken

Any time that is not spent on love is wasted. Torquato Tasso

Harmony is pure love, for love is complete agreement. Lope De Vega

To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven. Karen Sunde

... If you love somebody, tell them. Rod McKuen

Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it. Rabindranath Tagore

Where love reigns the impossible may be attained. Indian Proverb

When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. Elizabeth Bowen

Love conquers all things... Virgil (roman poet)

Nothing exists that so fills and binds the heart as love does. Umberto Eco

Soul meets soul on lovers lips. Percy Bysshe Shelley

A kiss is the shortest distance between two. Henny Youngman

Love is not love until love's vulnerable. Theodore Roethke

I love that idea! I used Martha's ideas for my bouquets back in 2001...using spherical bouquets with ribbon handles, resembling purses. Gorgeous and unique. Perfect for me since I'm known for being "girly" and loving handbags.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
