What a Wonderfull Wedding Day

They say that opposites attract, and they’re right. Like yin and yang, magnetic force and strawberries cooked with basil (try it!), an introvert/extrovert relationship will have surprising benefits, where each partner’s personality complements and enhances the other’s.

Many who meet dating online might find that they find a match who is not quite as outgoing as they are – here are some tips for making this kind of relationship work.

Social situations

This is going to be the key time when your differences stand out. For the introvert, a big party full of the extrovert’s friends can be a special kind of hell. While their party-animal partner is the centre of attention, commanding attention with jokes and fast-paced conversation, the introvert can easily find themselves quietly sidelined.

But there are ways for this not to be the case. The extrovert needs to be aware of the potential for fish-out-of-water syndrome and make a special effort to include the introvert.

The extrovert should:

 Introduce them to new friends and give them a topic of conversation, as per Bridget Jones’s advice. Like, “Billy, this is Irene. She’s about to head to Tokyo for two weeks, you should give her some pointers about where to go while she’s there.”

• Include the quieter partner when telling stories about the two of you “… and so I’m up this ladder, and Matthew – what was it you shouted out to me?” and share the punch lines around.

• Be sensitive to when your partner wants to leave, and make your farewells in a timely way.

The introvert should:

• Have a good time. While it may not be your comfort zone, you can still find things to enjoy while you’re at a party.

• Make a special effort to socialise. Even the quietest among us can have a laugh, share an anecdote and respond to those of others.

At home

Extroverts can sometimes find it difficult to accept the idea of “a comfortable silence” and might assume that something is wrong or that the introverted partner is upset in some way, when they are just happily thinking about tasks or plans, reflecting on the day, reading or watching a film.

It’s important for both parties to recognise what’s being said, even if it’s said without words.

The introvert should:

• Tell the other person what you’re thinking about, even if it’s just something that happened at work today, or what colour to paint the walls. You could be so wrapped up in your thoughts that you neglect to look after their needs.

• Make it clear when you want to pursue an activity on your own – reading a book, doing the dishes or playing a videogame – and that you’ll appreciate time spent with your partner all the more because of time spent alone.

• Snap out of it – sometimes. Make sure your partner is getting all that she or he needs from you.

The extrovert should:

• Respect your partner’s need for time alone, and recognise when they are seeking quiet time.

• Try it yourself. A solitary pursuit is a great way to sort out what’s on your mind, and working towards something – such as finishing Anna Karenina, knitting a scarf or learning a card trick – will give you a great sense of satisfaction when it’s done.

Whether you met your partner in Alaska, Micronesia or Melbourne dating is a tricky business to negotiate. But if you recognise your own and your partner’s personality traits and needs, happy and fulfilling relationships can grow.

So, it’s the big day. You’ve got the man or woman of your dreams, you’ve got the ring, and you’ve got a date. But how can you stop your wedding coming under pressure from other’s expectations?

It’s important to have a wedding day that suits the two of you, more than anyone else. Parents-in-law, friends, and the pressure of conventions spur everyone on to a wedding day in a manor or castle, with a horde of bridesmaids in matching outfits, bubbly in delicate glasses, and a thousand pounds spent on the wedding dress.

However, this doesn’t match what everybody wants out of a wedding. We’re all different – it’s unrealistic to think your taste will suddenly change to fit the norm simply because you’re getting married. A ring on the finger doesn’t automatically give you a taste for smoked salmon, white satin, or disco dancing.

Your wedding day is the first day of your marriage and should reflect your own taste – after all, getting married is one of the most personal things you’ll ever do. So why not pick a wedding day that truly reflects who you are? Below are just a few examples of alternative wedding days designed to feel special:

‘Summer camp’ wedding

If you’re an outdoorsy type, why not retreat into your nearest wilderness for a wedding day? This kind of wedding is great for those who want a limited number of guests. You camp out with your friends and family, in a log cabin, country cottage, or camper vans or tents if you’re really keen, and have an intimate wedding beside a roaring bonfire. Afterwards, everyone can feast on hot dogs, baked potatoes, and delicious melting marshmallows. This can be easily combined with a ‘Green Wedding’ that aims to minimize the impact on the environment.

Beach wedding

This kind of wedding is increasingly popular as people choose to start their honeymoon before the actual ceremony. Spend the wedding money on a trip to a beautiful island – perhaps Barbados, Mauritius, or Cephalonia, the setting for Captain Corelli’s Mandolin – and get married in front of a spectacular sunset.

‘Your’ wedding

Why not incorporate an element that reminds you of how the pair of you met? If you met online dating, you could celebrate by giving dating site memberships to bridesmaids as wedding favours – or even base the theme of your ceremony around computers! If, rather than online dating Birmingham, Edinburgh or London was the place where you stole each other’s hearts, you could celebrate your wedding in that city – with a twist on Victoria Beckham’s famous celebration of the town (Brooklyn) where her first-born was conceived!

Whatever you decide to do on the day, remember that it’s just the two of you who count. Nobody likes a demanding ‘Bridezilla’ – but what you’ve decided on as a couple should always be stuck to so you can both enjoy the wedding of your dreams.

It was a hot and humid Saturday afternoon, not unlike most August days in the suburbs of Washington D.C. The birds were singing their final songs before the September rains came to remind them that it was time to begin their long trip South for the winter.

My mother arrived and on the way to the bridal stores, we chatted about how my 4-year-old niece, and how she was upset because she didn’t get to come with us on this adventure today. Our spirits were up and we were ready for the daunting task that lay before us. In my hand was a list of four Bridal Shops that we were going to visit, and it was our hope that today, this lively August Saturday, would be the day that we would find the ever elusive wedding dress.

I was not quite sure what I was looking for, although I did have some ideas. I was really drawn to the dresses with the higher waist. I also didn’t want a dress that would come low enough to show any cleavage. The other thing I didn’t want was beading; I swore up and down that there would be no glittery stuff on my dress. With these things in mind, I was all set to find my dress.

Our first stop was a bridal shop that friends had recommended. We pulled into the parking lot, and got out of the car, secure in our mission, and ready to take on whatever we would face in the shop. Our tour guide wasted no time getting started. After signing the necessary forms, she began choosing dress after dress and placing them in the room that would be my staging area. She provided me with a crinoline then we were set.

We began the long parade of dresses for my Mother. There were sheath dresses, detachable trains, ivory dresses, and beading as far as the eye could see. Most were looked at and sent away by my Mother and I, not to be seen again.

Then it happened. The shop assistant took the second to last dress out of the bag and helped me into it. She clipped it back, because it was too big, and I looked into the mirror. It wasn’t a dress I would have picked (it had a lower neckline and some beading and glittery stuff), it wasn’t a dress I had ever thought of, but when I looked into the mirror I knew that it was the one. When we walked out to show my Mother, the look on her face confirmed what I already knew. Our mission had been successful – we found my dress. The shop assistant chose a veil, and small wrist length gloves, and that only further convinced us that this was THE Dress.

In the time since this adventure, I have thought long and hard about my dress, and I am both relieved and happy with my choice. The day was successful, and now I can focus my attention to other matters (like Bridesmaids Dresses!)
