Spring showers often bring summer wedding flowers, and I'm sure many University of Houston students are busily preparing for their nuptials while planning cramming for finals.
May and June are traditionally wedding-heavy months, perhaps the very reason wedding guides and shows are so plentiful during the spring.
However, wedding advice is helpful no matter what time o f year you'll walk down the aisle, so we here at The Daily Cougar have done some of the legwork for you.
Inside this year's wedding guide, you'll find helpful hints on various aspects of wedding planning. Read up on the latest styles for wedding party attire. Learn what really makes the engagement ring sparkle. Find out how you can have your ceremony conducted in our very own A.D. Bruce Religion Center, and what couples who wed there thought of it.
Heed some firsthand advice from a bride who's recently been through the planning of it all. Find out what you need to make your reception a success, along with all the wedding extras to make your day extra special - flowers, photography, limousine services and the like.
Perhaps most importantly, we have a question-and-answer section on etiquette - after all, you don't want to be rude or offend someone on this all-important day. Plus, we've complied tips and information on rehearsal dinners and honeymoons that cash-strapped students can afford (and still be able to pay the tuition bill).
Be sure to save this guide even if you're not about to wed - you never know when it will come in handy. Best of luck!
