Making Your Quirks Work

As a child, people would always ask me about the dot in the middle of my cheek. I struggled with self esteem as I tried to work around a large mole on my face, but over time, I learned how to make it work. Believe it or not, my mole has actually become the focal point of my modeling career. Critics have said that it gives my look a little personality. It isn't always easy to feel beautiful, especially if something about you is different. I decided to create a beauty blog dedicated to helping others learn how to make their quirks work for them.

Renewing Your Vows In Vegas? 4 Tips To Help Seniors Writing Updated Wedding Vows

by Derek Little

According to industry insiders, wedding vow renewals in Vegas have been on the upswing in recent years, especially among seniors. If you couldn't afford a big, splashy wedding when you were young and just starting out, or if you just want to give your marriage a shot of adrenaline now that you're empty nesters, going all out in Vegas is a great way to do it.

You can have fun with it – get married by Elvis, or another celebrity, and let the fun, crazy-in-love aspect of your marriage shine. It's also a great time to update your vows to reflect this new time in your lives. However, most people find writing their own vows to be a little bit intimidating. Here are some tips that will help you give your marriage vows a makeover.

Start By Talking About Your Original Wedding

You must have done something right the first time around in order to be where you are now, so start out your new vows by reflecting on your original wedding day. You can talk about an event that happened at the wedding, or about how you felt about the original vows you took that day. Did you use the standard traditional vows? Did you wish you'd written your own?

Starting out by talking about the past makes writing your vows simpler. You're writing about something you already know and remember well, and it gives you an easy opportunity to transition into the present, when you're again standing in front of an alter with the one that you love.

Transition by Talking About What You've Learned Between Weddings

Move on from your wedding anecdote into what you've learned about being married to your partner since your original ceremony. This is obviously not the time to hold a history lesson or make a list of complaints, but it's OK to talk about how your expectations on your wedding day might have been different from reality.

Talk about how the two have you have faced challenges together or what he or she does that still makes your heart beat a little faster, even after all these years. If you have a funny or quirky story that perfectly illustrates what being married to your partner is like for you, this is the time to share it.

Create Some New Vows

By this time, the two of you already know that you can count on each other in sickness and in health, or for richer or poorer. Chances are, you've already been tested in those situations. Now is the time to talk about promises that have special meaning going forward.

Be specific. Promise to support your partner in their second career or their favorite new hobby since retirement. Promise to bring them breakfast in bed once a month. Promise to spend more time together or to take an exciting vacation once a year. Promise to let your partner know every time they do something that brightens your day a little.

Close by Talking About the Future

You may be seniors, but if you're in Las Vegas renewing your wedding vows, you're not at the end of your road yet. So close your vows with an eye to the future. Imagine where you want yourself and your partner to be in five years, or twenty-five years, and end with that.

Do you want to be back in Vegas doing another vow renewal, or sitting on the back porch in matching rocking chairs, or jet-setting around the world? Whatever it is you want out of the future, visualize yourselves there and let that image end your vows. It's a great way to let your partner know they're still an important part of your future.

Once you have your vows written, let the chapel take care of the rest. They'll provide everything from photos to music, so you can just relax and enjoy your second wedding to the one you love. Follow this link to start your planning.
