My wife N’omi is often asked if she doesn’t believe in equality for women, because some of the things she says sound odd to the modern ear. But she always replies:

“Why should I give up superiority for mere equality? I have worked at developing my feminine traits and my human abilities. So as a woman, I am superior. But as a man, I’m a failure.

Why waste my time trying to be something I’m not? I can compete well with men in terms of some of my human abilities. But just as men can never compete with women in terms of feminine traits, I can never compete with men in terms of masculine traits.

And since I used to counsel a group of gay and lesbian people, I can say with authority that if you knew what female impersonators or sex-change people went through mentally, emotionally, and physically, you wouldn’t think it was so easy for men to compete with women at being female.

I’ll never be as strong as most men-they generally have 300% the upper-body strength of most women! And I’ll never have the masterful presence of a man, no matter how powerful a presence I present as a woman.

During the many years before I met Joel, I functioned as father and mother to five of my children. I was only able to fulfill the father role by telling my children stories of how wonderful their father was, and how much he loved them, and was proud of them. But I couldn’t BE a father to them; only a faithful mom.

Physically, beyond the obvious gender differences, men are jointed differently from women, which enables them to excel at certain activities that women find more difficult-though a woman’s special jointing enables her to do things well that a man finds more difficult.

Which makes my point: Each gender has gender-specific qualities, as well as human attributes.

In fact, if a pathologist finds a single human bone, he can tell whether it was from a male or a female. A geneticist examining a single human cell can tell whether it is male or a female.

So I believe in being the best of what I can be. That includes my feminine qualities, and it includes my human qualities. For this reason, I am a very strong woman, emotionally and mentally. I am not in conflict with myself or with the people around me.

I am busy being me, and getting happier and more fulfilled with each passing year.”

N’omi is really that wonderful woman, powerful and focused on fulfilling her potential-in her own life, and in our life together.

So what do N’omi and I have? Are we equal? No, because equal means the same. Men and women are not the same.

The only way in which all people are “created equal” is that we all have the same 24 hours a day in which to make decisions about who we have decided to be.

Marriage is not 1 + 1 = 2. That would be equality. Marriage is a partnership, to which each partner brings a different assortment of qualities: character traits, aptitudes, attributes, opinions, beliefs, and other accumulated stuff that makes them who they are.

In fact, this means that no two humans, regardless of gender, are really “equal” when they meet.

But in marriage, you are joining two very different sets of qualities, and adding gender qualities to the equation. This is a volatile mix because marriage is a partnership of unequals, not an equality of two identical parties.

We need to discard the idea that “unequal” means one is superior and one inferior. That’s NOT what it means.
“Unequal” just means “not the same,” or “different.” And anyone can see that every human is different from every other human.

Furthermore, many studies-psychological and physiological-show that men have many traits in common with each other that they don’t share with women.

And many similar studies show that women have many traits in common with each other that they don’t share with men.

Bottom Line: Marriage is a partnership, but not an equality. As a partnership, it consists of two very different people who bring different qualities to the relationship.

These qualities are of two kinds: Personal and gender. personal qualities are individual and not gender-specific. But there are gender-specific qualities that exist and must be recognized for what they are before true partnership can blossom.

Remember: Men and women are two races that share the same planet, but not much else! To get along happily, they have to learn about what’s unchangeable-in their own and in their mate’s nature-and what can be modified.

Then they will stop blaming, and start working together. That’s partnership!

Wine can be an important part of your wedding and picking which wine to serve,
along with picking the caterer and deciding on a cake, one of the decisions you’ll
have to make along the way that involves taste. But this is one decision you can use
to bring friends together and have a little relaxing fun during the planning stages.

Most caterers will have a wine list available that includes one or two “house wines,”
which are usually the lowest priced, and several more expensive labels for you to
choose from. You’ll most likely choose both a red and white so everyone at the
reception is accommodated. In certain states, California for example, restaurants
allow you to bring in your own wine. While this seems like it might be a great way to
go, they can charge what is known as a corkage fee, which can be as high as $30 or
even more per bottle. Unless you want a very rare and expensive wine, it’s usually
better to go with something off the list.

Sometimes the decision comes down to money and sometimes it comes down to
taste. But in either case, this is one taste test you can have fun with. When my wife
and I got married we invited some friends over, bought a bottle of each of the wines
offered at the reception location and had a wine tasting party.

Between my junior and senior years of college I worked in a wine shop where we had
a bottle available for tasting every Saturday afternoon. The owner and I got along
very well and he gave me my first lessons in wine tasting. I’ve been a student ever
since.

While drinking wine might be a part of your everyday life, you probably don’t spend
much time actually tasting it in comparison to other wines. Most people are
intimidated when it comes to tasting or even selecting wine, but the first thing I
learned was that no matter what anyone tells you, if you don’t like a particular wine
then you just don’t like it. As far as selecting goes, in this case the wine has been
pre-selected for us by the catering manager. We’re just going to narrow down the
list.

For our party we made a small chart with each bottle on it and three columns. The
columns were for Appearance, Smell and Taste. We asked each of our guests to
score each wine with a number from 1 to 10. We also left a little space for
impressions to be noted.

Before we get started though, the first thing, obviously, is to drink in moderation
and make sure that everyone at your wine tasting makes it home safely so they can
party at your wedding. Never drink and drive. In fact wine tasting doesn’t really even
require drinking at all. Most professional tasters will spit the wine out after tasting
it. It makes a lot of sense when you might taste dozens of wines in one day. (If
you’ve seen the film Sideways, there’s a scene where the character played by Paul
Giamatti is so desperate for a drink that he actually drinks from one of the buckets
used for this.)

The first thing you’ll notice when you open a bottle and pour a glass is the color, or
appearance of the wine. Red wine can vary greatly from a deep purple to rich brown
while white wine can vary from a light brown to a yellowish green. While color won’t
necessarily tell you if a wine is good or bad, a richer fuller red could indicate a
richer, fuller taste while brown might actually mean the wine has gone bad. A richer
colored white wine usually indicates one that’s sweeter while a clearer wine might
be drier and crisper.

Next comes smell, or as wine aficionados call it, the bouquet. The bouquet of a wine
can add an enormous amount to the overall experience of drinking it. At least half
of what we eat and drink is experienced through smell. If you’ve ever had a bad cold
with a stuffed up nose, you know that food can taste like nothing. But the bouquet
of a good wine can be amazing if you really pay attention to it. Swirl it in your glass
a little to release it and let it breath. Take a deep whiff and let it linger. You may
start to notice smells you never noticed before. It might be musty or it might be
sharp, it might smell like a forest or it might smell like a garden. You never know
and finding out and challenging yourself to recognize different traits in the bouquet
is one of the things wine lovers love about wine.

Now it’s time to taste the wine. This isn’t a time to gulp or chug but a time to sip
and let the wine linger on your tongue. In fact, let it roll around on your tongue. You
experience taste differently through different parts of your tongue. If you really
concentrate on it you can taste amazing things. Some wines will be drier than others
(a function of how much sugar is in the wine,) leaving less of an aftertaste while
some will be richer. Some will taste like oak, some like fruit, some might even taste
like flowers. Again that discovery of taste is one of the things wine lovers love. It
also fun at this point to discuss with your friends what you taste in a particular
glass. You’ll be surprised at what people will taste and it might even surprise you a
little that once they tell you, you’ll suddenly taste it as well. You may also want to
try tasting the same wine again after the bottle has been open for a little while.
Wine, especially red wine, breaths after being opened. In other words, it reacts with
the air and the taste can change, in some cases drastically, after even a few minutes.
Decanting a wine often speeds up this process, but may not be practical for a
tasting party.

It’s also important to have a small tray of crackers or bread or glasses of water
available for your tasters to help cleanse their pallets between tastes, especially if
you’re switching between red and white. It’s also a good idea to rinse out the
glasses between bottles.

In the end, we tallied up the scores, read all the comments and ultimately picked the
wine we liked best. Of course it just happened to be that the wine we liked most
coincided with what our friends liked but don’t feel pressured. Enjoying wine is all
about what you like and tasting wine is all about discovering what you like. We had
a great meal afterwards and our friends felt honored that we let them help pick the
wine for our wedding. As it turned out, we were so busy and having so much fun
during our reception that neither of us really even remembers having a glass.

It is true that love is a spontaneous emotion, which should neither be artificial nor forced.

One of the best ways to express one’s thoughts is to pen a beautiful poem. As we know, a poem is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings, wherein thoughts flow freely like a river. This is perfectly suited for love.

Love poems have been an integral part of any literature, whether it is Western or Oriental. In fact, some of the best literature is related to love. Love is all pervasive and cannot be confined to any particular race or community. Hence, love poems have existed since ancient times.

To testify this, we all are aware that even in the history of English Literature, there was a particular period when “romantic poems” were in vogue and “romantic poetry” was the talk of the town. To name a few exemplary romantic poets from England: Keats, Shelley, Wordsworth, Byron and Blake. Their poems are masterpieces and treasured by posterity.

A few lines from one such love poem, written by Taryn Grace, are a clear indication of a lover’s thoughts.

I’m at your feet

and I come with gifts

my body, heart, and soul

They’re yours to do with as you please

to command and to control

I give myself with all my heart

I’m yours for all of time

Your slave, your queen, your anything

only say that you are mine

In a love poem, the author can use his imagination and creative skills to give the exact meaning of his thoughts and provide a true picture of his views on love.

Similarly, a love poem can be easily identified by the language itself. The poet usually describes his lover as a Goddess or an angel. Not only that, a love poem is written by a person who is immersed in love and imagines that his world revolves around that “special person” only. To quote a lover’s words, “To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.”

Love has the power to change an ordinary person into a genuine poet, thereby encouraging him to write delightful love poems. Normally, the language of a love poem is simply flattering, and sometimes exaggerated, too.

Sometimes, a lot of negative thoughts tend to creep in a love poem if the poet is suffering due to lost love or unfulfilled love. Such poems reflect his shattered dreams, agony, and frustration.

Love is an eternal feeling- so expect love poems to reflect the changing times even though love remains the core theme always.

When people ask me, “What do you do for a living?” and I tell them I am a wedding planner, you cannot imagine the look of elation and interest that immediately floods their faces. The next, almost patented inquiry from their behalf is, “Just like J. Lo, right? I love that movie!”

I do smile and agree that I loved the movie too. As much as I love Law and Order, you will not see me out making citizens’ arrests on the metropolitan streets. I know my boundaries. Watching a movie or a show doesn’t necessarily make you qualified to do what it is you sawno matter how many times you’ve seen it or can quote from its leading actor. What most brides don’t understand is that this may be (hopefully!) the only wedding they will ever plan. I and my colleagues do this on a regular basis; so it is safe to say we’ve been around the block.

I love meeting new brides, and especially newly engaged couplesit is great to see how you interact with each other and what your conjoined vision is for your beautiful wedding day. I will admit, there are times where a couple and I have spent hours just talking during our initial consultation that we actually forget that it is “business as usual”. I try at this time to dispel the misconception that a wedding planner turns into a dictator that takes complete control of your wedding. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I’m going to share some things with you that may help you decide on if a wedding planner is for you. Trust me, I will be the first to tell you if it is not; but if it is, you should definitely consider interviewing a few during your planning process. If your planner does not share these philosophies, it doesn’t necessarily mean he or she is wrong, but you may want to consider what is important to you in the grand scheme of your event.

Ok, so let’s get started, shall we?

1. You should be treated like you are important. When I greet my potential and contracted clients, you would never know that I have other events or other things going on in my life. That is because when it comes to youI don’t! Each client that walks through that door has on a sign that says, “Make me feel important”. It is very imperative that you feel very special and comfortable with your planner, and dare I say it, immediately. You should feel like you are meeting with an old friend to discuss the details of your upcoming wedding. If at any time you feel uncomfortable or unsure, do speak up and ask questions. Gain as much clarity as possible.

2. You are always the boss. You are paying for a serviceyour planner should report to you in a courteous and professional manner. While your planner does have a level of expertise and savvy, if you feel like the reins are being yanked from your hand or you are made to feel inferior, thank them for their time and move on.

3. Your wedding is your wedding. There are so many variables that can be thrown into the dynamics of planning a wedding. Your planner should not try to make your special day “cookie-cutter”. Instead they should see and become intimately familiar with your vision for your wedding. As your personal liaison, your wedding planner will be the one to represent your needs and wants to other vendors, handle sticky situations with family and execute your plans during your event.

4. Trust is important. Your wedding is an investmentnever again will you spend so much money at one time. You need to be able to entrust the details of your wedding to a consummate professional. Your wedding planner should explain everything to you at length and work with in your budget and vision.

5. Be accountable, organized and responsible. These are not only good character traits, but are required skills in this trade. All paperwork, dossiers, contracts, etc. pertaining to your account should be kept in an organized format and ready at all of your appointments. Any payments or decisions made on your behalf should be done under your watchful eye and with your approval. You should be able to trust all of the details of your wedding with your planner.

6. Creative Genius. You should be able to give some of your best ideas to your coordinator, and she can “sweeten the pot” with her creations and style. Also, your planner should have several types of resources and inspirations to pull from to create your ultimate wedding fantasy.

Remember these simple characteristics and you will be able to get the assistance you need for your wedding day. You will be stress-free at the wedding that has always been your dream, which means you can enjoy your family and friends more knowing it is in capable hands.
