True Blood…Hitched?

 True Blood stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer AKA Sooki and Bill celebrate their real-life romance with a super private Malibu Wedding! And no worries they did not serve True Blood!!! Anna wore a white three-quarter length halter dress and black platform court shoes and she had her beach blonde hair pulled up in a updo. He took more than just a plunge at getting married he went for it literally! August 21st was the big day for the stars while their wedding lasted 20 mintues the still-grinning groom, who went from his dark blue suit to blue trunks celebrated by sprinting into the crystal clear waters with friends!  This couple is so neat and different Stephen walked down the asile to Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir".

Five Options for Bright Smiles!

A lot of brides view their wedding day as the opportunity to revamp their style and give themselves a mini-makeover. One of those small details often includes teeth-whitening, the increasingly popular beautification process of turning those lackluster smiles into fabulously happy grins :)

We've done a little research and determined there are generally five main paths you can take to refurbish your pearly whites:

1. Whitening toothpaste:

- Mildly abrasive and do not contain bleach

- Cheapest and most hassle-free option

- On average, will whiten your teeth by one shade

2. Over-the-Counter Whitening Strips or Gels:

- Peroxide-based

- A little bit pricier, but does not require going to a dentist

- Requires twice-a-day care performed outside of the usual brush/floss routine

- Results seen within days and last about four months

3. Whitening Rinses:

- Contain hydrogen peroxide

- Just swish for 60 seconds, twice a day

- May take up to 12 weeks to see results

- Some debate about effectiveness versus over-the-counter strips and gels, less contact-time with teeth = less whitening

4. Tray-Based Tooth Whiteners:

- Can be purchased over-the-counter or from a dentist, definitely more expensive

- Contains peroxide-bleaching agent

- Requires wearing a mouth guard-like tray for several hours each day for up to four weeks

5. In-Office Whitening:

- Quickest and most expensive option

- Whitening product is applied directly to teeth, sometimes in combination with heat and/or laser

- Immediate results

- For most dramatic results, you would want to make several appointments

While we have not personally tried all of these options, we would love to hear from you about your experiences! If you have tried any of these methods, leave us a comment and let us know how it went!

Personalizing Your “I Do’s”

While traditional vows are great for - the traditional,  personalizing your wedding vows is an even more sentimental way to tie the knot. But if the idea of writing an oath that you plan on declaring to your betrothed seems daunting, and Shakespeare you are not, follow these tips and capture what your heart feels in script.

1. Get in the Mood - Don't sit down to write your vows after a long day of work, or when you know you'll have to jump up and run somewhere in 30 minutes. Set aside some personal time when you know you'll be relaxed and have a clear mind, and start there.

2. Get inspired. Use poetry, music, movies, whatever! Think about your future husband, think about those special moments you've shared together, and use your heart as your main springboard of inspiration.

2. Keep it short. This is not a monologue; it's a proclamation of your love and your loyalty. That's it.

3. Keep it simple. You want it to sound natural and conversational, not speechy or preachy. You're also more likely to forget or mutilate artificial big words on the big day.

4. Key points to mention:

- "I love you."

- Being together through the good and the bad

- Faith or spirituality - if desired

- Honoring and respecting your spouse

- Longevity in the relationship, a love that's meant to last forever

5. Feedback - After you've written your vows, you may want to read them over with each other, or with a third party, to polish them off.
