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.

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.
