A Wedding in Miami Beach

Beautiful large callas by Infinity Weddings & Events,LLC.

This was one of the nicest weddings we ever did! 

Curtis, a firefighter and Heather, a student- decided that there would be no better place to have a very intimate moment in their lives than Miami Beach.

They were very sure of the what they wanted and how! Intimate, only them, barefoot, the view of the water, and between palm trees blowing in the wind.

While they were in their state, we handled the acquiring of the marriage license; so they just came to South Florida and enjoyed their stay. We offer this convenience to all our clients- talk about relieving stress.

I picked them up from their hotel to take them to the very beautiful and breathtaking spots- Pelican Harbor.

When she saw how beautifully the palm trees swayed and Curtis' smile- you can see how happy she was. This is a beautiful couple and it shows.

I love that her wedding dress was so simple and yet elegant at the same time. It flows gently in the breeze; capturing every wind breeze.

Standing on the rocks overlooking the beautiful Biscayne Bay- but you can feel the love between them. Powerful stuff!

We then drove them to the beach- where thankfully, the beach goers were going, and were able to capture some awesome shots. The coloring of the lifeguard house added the right touch of POP- keeping Curtis and Heather the focal point of the picture.

I so loved how she had complete trust- that he would not let his beautiful bride fall. The kiss to a happy beginnings.

FUN FACT: The wedding cake has its origins as a fertility symbol in Roman antiquity when a cake, rather than being eaten, was broken over the bride’s head. The idea developed over the centuries into a series of several cakes placed on top of one another.

The Secret to a Happy Marriage

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!
