From South Beach with love

This happened to be one of my favorite weddings. When I think back on it I know it was because I could feel the excitement and the confidence in Danika's voice.
She is in love and it was with the man of her dreams! I tell you I could not wait to meet her and John.
                                CHECK OUT THE VIDEO AT THE END!
It started with her sister looking at our work and she noticed the details we placed onto the chairs of a previous wedding.
I was amazed because no one ever notices the touches we do to someone else wedding, but she did and we were hired.

Danika wanted a tropical feel and her colors were orange and fuschia. The accent pieces was all the bamboo pieces including the chairs and arbor.

As the bride began to transform to an even more gorgeous woman- the guest began to arrive to the soft sand of South Beach.

A Sagitarian and a Gemini

 

It seems that lately I am running across these fabulous couples, but the odd thing is the most common denominator they seem to share and that is she is a Sagittarius and he a Gemini.

Next week I have a fun and yet bashful couple getting married on a private marina in Miami Beach, and as we begin finalizing details I was enjoying  the way they interacted with each other - it was pretty awesome. She bashful- yes! a Sagittarius woman can be bashful, but never get it twisted, she knows exactly what she wants. And he, nervous and anxious, so being very funny is the way he will cope with it. Why is that? Geminis do have a quick and funny wit about them; it's probably that famous double talk that they do.

So how do the stars say they will work out? Mind you that I am solely working off the positive aspect of these sun signs- No negativity from me.
This is the private language couple!
By now we all know that Gemini represents duality- they are not "two faced"- they are just the same coin with different ends. And Sagittarius are the representation of truth- well at least their version of the truth.
Anywho- let me continue on this sun sign. Now a reminder, a female Sagittarius is far different from a male Sagittarius and a female Gemini is different from a male Gemini- but none the less- let's have fun and see what comes up.

She fell in love, whole spirit, heart, seeking for affection and ready to return it in full. Especially when she is young- time and heart break will sadly cause her to wear the "mask" of non trusting and skepticism. She is frank and honest- and they do suffer from Huff N Mouth disease- you when being TOO honest comes off as being just plain rude or tattle telly-now the twists come- he is a Gemini- he has to test his wit, his verbal skills, his cleverness- he will try to twist her ideas, ideals and even her love. They love mind games- even when he says he doesn't. (Please don't confuse this playfulness with a Scorpion- that is a whole different area of games). But Gemini's do love a good mind game and he will be courting disaster doing this with the Sagittarius! Think I am mistaken of the mind games Gemini?? How many names do you go by- G, Gee, Greg?

She is an animal lover- she should have been a vet- but dang does she love labels and fashion- not as much as a Libra, but she has a great eye for fashion. But her true nature is out there. They are strong, nature loving women. Animals will be taken care of-and competitiveness is a must for her- she loves it. That is the animal side of her. They can hold their own, but the human side- that is the non fear side of her- is she a firefighter, paramedic, something where she is of service?

He- requires new horizons, new challenges, he needs to soar- luckily so does she- ambition. And while he likes animals- he would much rather spend his money on himself- enjoying the vices of life.

Sex- this is an arguing couple who will start an argument to incite a very exciting night of passion. But more often than not, this starts at breakfast, the love making- they have this passion stirring in their mind and usually starts at the same time.

Their wedding- will he would prefer not to spend on the ceremony so lavishly and she just wants what she wants-and price may be an issue but not so much; the vendor must be honest with her and she will genuinely like her.

Her gown will be what I call Princess/Sexy. It will have that sense of nostalgia (her human side)- keeping with tradition of weddings, but giving her that edginess and sexiness she has (the animal side)- that is her duality.

He- his suit will be traditional t may be a linen suit or a full on three piece-And it will be of some sort of name brand- but it has to make him look and feel GQ.  Because he will spend on himself. He will make sure that he is going to have a great time!

Sagittarius and Gemini are direct opposites in the horoscope circle- so what he lacks she has and what he lacks she has- if they can continue to make a duet and not a duel- this can become a very powerful and exciting couple.

This wedding is going to be fun- she will enjoy the ceremony and he the party- but I know that they will enjoy the rest of their lives together.!

How can you improve your relationship

In this link- they picked three expert answers to improving your relationship. I picked my favorite answer but you can read the article yourself.

Lisa Oz answered:

Well, I do not think a long, in-depth self-therapy session is practical with every interaction, but there are a few key insights that are broadly applicable. To start is the idea of genuine presence. One of my favorite quotes is, "Wherever you go, there you are" from the movie Buckaroo Banzai. It has that delicious quality of being totally silly and shockingly profound at the same time. Realizing this fact, and living it, is probably the most important thing we can do to improve our relationships. Far too often, although we are physically with a person, our mind is somewhere else. Whether we are on the phone, listening to the radio, watching TV, or just caught up in our own thoughts, when we are not present in the moment - with the people next to us - we cheat ourselves and them of an pportunity to make a real connection.
Another important lesson is the necessity of practicing self-awareness, especially during conflict. The next time you find yourself in an argument, ask yourself what you really want and how your behavior is helping to meet those needs. The answer might not come to you during the heat of passion, but at some point, before you make yourself and someone else miserable, take a moment to create a safe place where you can be really honest with yourself. Once you have a clue about why you are choosing certain actions, see what changes you can implement to achieve your goals, regardless of what the other person is doing. Remember, it is all really about you.

The Secret to a Happy Marriage

Photography by Christopher Vlaun- Pastor Carlos DeJesus

by Julie Hanks, LCSW, for Sharecare
Are you empathetic? Is your partner? It might be the secret to a happier marriage. According to a recent study from Harvard University, being able to accurately read a partner's emotions--and believing that your partner is trying to understand your emotions--is related to couple relationship satisfaction.
This study highlights certain gender differences that echo dynamics I've seen in my clinical practice and in my 23-year marriage:

1. Women are more satisfied in their relationship if their partner accurately empathized with negative emotions.
2. Men were more satisfied when they could read their partner's positive emotions accurately.
3. Women's ability to read their partner's negative emotions was positively linked to both men's and women's relationship satisfaction. 

The authors suggested that for men, being able to understand and be empathetic to their partner's negative emotions may feel threatening to the relationship, but women don't seem to find negative emotions threatening. Findings suggest that effort, not just accuracy, positively impacts relationships.

Developing Empathy If your relationship is distressed or if you simply want to make a good relationship better, here are some ways to work on your empathy skills.
Listen for emotional messages The emotional message isn't the same as the words that your partner is saying. Your partner may be criticizing you for not spending enough time together, but the emotional message may actually be, "I miss you and I'm afraid I'm not important to you."
Push the pause button on your own emotions When your partner is expressing something critical, it's easy to respond defensively. Before reacting, take a deep breath and try to slow down your own emotional response so you can hear the emotion behind the criticism.
Reflect back your partner's emotional plea Instead of coming back defensively with, "What are you talking about? We just went on a walk yesterday, and we went to dinner last weekend!" respond to your partner's emotional plea by saying something like, "You really miss me and want to spend more time together. Thanks for letting me know. I love you."
Even if you read the emotional message inaccurately, your effort to understand your partner's emotions will pay off!

CHAD OCHOCINCO and EVELYN LOZADA tie the knot

We have Independence Day to remind us of the freedom we have from England and their monarchy. And now we have the anniversary of Chad Ochocinco (Miami Dolphins) and Evelyn Lozada (Basketball Wives)!
They married at the beautiful island St. Martins,  on the 4th of July and pictures will be seen on their reality show Ev and Chad. 
According to Chad Ochocinco-the date was chosen so he would not forget the anniversary. (LOL)
Ochocinco updated his profile picture to show off an image of his and Lozada's wedding rings.
"How many times is Eve gonna change outfits... Is this normal to have more than 1 outfit besides the wedding gown?" he jokingly tweeted late Wednesday after tying the knot.
