Making dreams come true
Everything a bride- and groom-to-be need to plan their lives together is
available right here in Thunder Bay, from dresses to financial
planning homecoming dress shop online .
More than 100 companies and services were at the annual Wedding Wishes Formal Affair on Sunday to give couples planning to get married a comprehensive look at all facets of planning weddings, honeymoons and securing their futures together.
The Valhalla Inn was a hive of activity with hundreds of people perusing what the vendors had to offer and taking time to enjoy six fashion shows from local clothiers and boutiques, and two dance demonstrations by World Dance Centre.
“This is a one-stop shopping experience for all those who are planning their big day,” show manager Nancy Milani said in an interview.
“We have pretty much everything a bridal party needs to plan that perfect wedding, no matter where or when it is going to happen.”
Interest in planning larger, more elaborate weddings and destination weddings have grown in popularity. Milani said the wedding business has been picking up since the recession and couples want to have that dream wedding day.
She also attributed reality TV for the upswing in bigger weddings.
“There are so many shows out there and people see these big ceremonies and they want that too,” she said.
There was a draw for a $15,000 grand prize wedding package.
Creating and planning an elaborate wedding can be overwhelming for many couples. Professional planners like Bethanie Kramer, owner of You’re Invited Wedding and Event Consulting, said many couples start planning up to two years in advance and the cost can average $20,000 to $30,000 for the wedding day.
“It’s been a growing industry and it’s a service that has been growing in Thunder Bay,” she said.
“We are letting people know that there is help out there. Coming to this show can be overwhelming and I help them keep track of the planning and help them make sense of everything they are going to see.”
Kramer said she’s noticed more people are applying for marriage licences and coming to her with their ideas.
She said with more people planning marriages, they don’t want just a simple ceremony, they want to have fun.
There are so many options to choose from, including themes and destination weddings. She said she is currently working with a bride who wants a night club theme for her wedding. Destination weddings have become popular because they are a ceremony and vacation in one. Many resorts have planners on site to make the ceremony easy to organize.
While weddings are steeped in tradition, there are trends that follow the latest fashions and the reality of the times.
The all-important bridal dress has gone through many changes, said Josy Vaillant of Irma’s Bridal Boutique. She said some traditions have endured, like all-white dresses and veils, but the styles have changed to fit with modern tastes.
“This year, we are seeing a lot more mermaid-style gowns, lots of pearls, shimmer and various shades of white, from pearl, to mocha,” Vaillant said.
“More brides are also asking for sleeves, or false sleeves because of Kate Middleton’s wedding dress, they want that same style, too.”
How dresses are designed is often a reflection of attitudes toward protocol.
Vaillant said that before the 1970s, brides were expected to be fully covered from head to toe to reflect the “virginal” look. During and after the 1970s and into the ’90s, puffy sleeves and sleeker dresses became popular. By the 1990s sleeveless dresses became standard issue in bridal shops.
“Most weddings and receptions happen at night and brides wanted a sleeveless gown for a more elegant look,” she said.
Another tradition changing with the times is the gift registry.
Couples still want to make gift selection easy for their guests, but the reasons may be different.
Richard Koskiniemi of The Kitchen Nook, which offers a bridal registry, was showcasing items that couples may want, from the practical to the more elaborate.
With gift registries, couples choose what items they want and make the list available to their guests so they can choose what to buy.
“In a store like ours, because we are so diverse, they are looking for practical things they can really use, like microwave and dishwasher safe tableware,” Koskiniemi said.
People are also getting married later in life, which can influence what they choose for their registry, he said.
A more mature couple may already have an established household, so they might choose something like the Tiffany line of stemware, or something they wouldn’t normally buy themselves.
“We can fill both sectors,” he said.

Drew R. Mulhearn, 27
SOUTH YARMOUTH — Drew
R. Mulhearn, 27, of South Yarmouth, died Saturday, Oct. 27, 2012, from a
terrible accident, yet at the end Drew passed peacefully, surrounded by
his family.
Drew was born in Worcester, one
of two sons, to Patricia McNamara Mulhearn and Richard Mulhearn.
Throughout his life, he had a very special bond and attachment with his
older brother, Adam Mulhearn. Drew was fittingly the best man at Adam's
wedding. Several years ago, Drew was fortunate to find the love of his
life, his wife and friend Evelina Todorova-Mulhearn.
Drew
graduated from Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School and went on to
graduate from Massachusetts Maritime Academy. He was an engineer in the
Merchant Marine.
Drew was an exceptionally bright man with a
heart of gold. He loved the sea, and the excitement of the world that he
spent his life exploring. He loved engineering. He loved fixing things
and understanding the intricacies of how the physics of nature made
things work together. No project was too hard to take on and he found
great joy in understanding and using his profound talents to find the
right solutions. He was active and spent every active moment exploring
what life had to offer.
He loved the outdoors
and the wonderful discoveries life had to offer. He loved to think about
things and discuss life. He cared deeply about others and had a knack
for understanding people. He was generous to a fault and very kind and
sweet. He was hard working and extremely creative. His sense of humor
was profound and a blessing to those around him. Most of all, Drew was a
man who really cared about his family.
When
Drew wasn't off to sea in his new maritime career, he and his wife split
their time living in New Hampshire with his brother Adam and sister-in
law Lisa, helping them with a total makeover of their new home, and the
rest of the time living at his mother Patricia's home in South Yarmouth.
Drew
will be sorely missed and remembered by the many he left behind,
including his devoted and loving wife, Evelina Todorova-Mulhearn; loving
mother Patricia McNamara Mulhearn; proud father Richard Mulhearn; proud
and devoted brother and friend Adam Mulhearn; caring friend and
sister-in-law Lisa Mulhearn; caring friend and stepmom Lynn Mulhearn;
loving grandmother Dorothy McNamara Mulhearn; and parents-in-law,
uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins, second cousins, and friends too
numerous to mention here but just as important.
Drew
entered this world prematurely, a premature baby, and he left this
world much, much too soon. Drew is and will always be loved.
Visiting
hours will be held from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2, 2012, at
the Hallett Funeral Home, 273 Station Ave., South Yarmouth. A funeral
Mass will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, at Saint Pius X Church,
Station Avenue, South Yarmouth. Interment will follow in Woodside
Cemetery, Yarmouthport.
Donations in Drew's
memory may be made to MSPCA, 1577 Falmouth Road, Centerville, MA 02632;
or to Animal Rescue League of Boston, Route 6A, Brewster, MA 02631.

'Uncle Bobby's Wedding' to stay on Brentwood shelves
Brentwood, MO (KSDK) - A controversial children's book is back in circulation after it was pulled from library shelves in Brentwood.
"Uncle Bobby's Wedding" tells the story of two male guinea pigs that get married. It was pulled after a parent complained saying the book influences young children to accept a harmful lifestyle.
The library removed the book, a standard procedure, while the board of directors assessed the situation.
On Thursday NewsChannel 5 learned directors voted unanimously to put it back on the shelves.
"The book came out in 2008. So it's been on our shelves for four years now and it's been checked out 10 times," says Library Director Vicki Woods. "So it's not new. It's been challenged at other libraries, and when it came out in 2008 I think it was the 9th most challenged book in 2008. So it's not unknown for controversy to follow the book."
Woods tells us she heard from the author, who is pleased the library is keeping it in the collection.

Wedding Planner at James Bond Hotel Says Couple Isn't Good Enough to Get Married There
Anyone who thinks it's always the bride who
goes 'zilla and exhibits totally outrageous, cringe-worthy behavior
while planning the Big Day has never witnessed just how wacko wedding vendors can
get. As a bride-to-be and the friend of a couple of fellow 2013
brides-to-be, I've experienced and heard of some crazy episodes with
people in the over-the-top wedding biz -- but nothing nearly as
upsetting as what a U.K. couple recently had to endure ...
Twenty-seven-year-old bride-to-be Pauline Bailey and her 51-year-old fiance Paul Carty wanted to get hitched at the five-star Stoke Park Hotel, which has previously featured in Bridget Jones' Diary and James Bond films Tomorrow Never Dies and Goldfinger. After having met the couple, hotel wedding planner Michele Connelly decided Pauline and Paul weren't the right "kind of people" to be wed at the venue. She then wrote the following email to her boss ...
Of course Pauline was in tears initially. She told The Daily Mail:
In this case, Pauline believes the discrimination was related to the fact that her fiancé is 24 years her senior and has a pierced eyebrow and two earrings. So ridiculous. Thankfully, they were bold enough to take the hotel to task for this disgraceful incident ...
They've considered legal action and have refused a meeting with the hotel's sales manager who apologized and requested a meeting to discuss their wedding plans. As Pauline explained, "After such a disgusting snub we wouldn't hold our wedding there, even if the hotel offered it for free." Good for them!

Twenty-seven-year-old bride-to-be Pauline Bailey and her 51-year-old fiance Paul Carty wanted to get hitched at the five-star Stoke Park Hotel, which has previously featured in Bridget Jones' Diary and James Bond films Tomorrow Never Dies and Goldfinger. After having met the couple, hotel wedding planner Michele Connelly decided Pauline and Paul weren't the right "kind of people" to be wed at the venue. She then wrote the following email to her boss ...
I need your advice. I know this probably doesn't sound very nice, but I am trying to put this wedding off as I don't think they are the type of people that we would want to have at Stoke Park. I spoke to the bride yesterday and have put her off for now by telling her the dates that she wants are not available. Help!!!Ouch!!! But wait, there's SO MUCH MORE. When Michele went to hit "send," it turned out she had mistakenly cc'ed Pauline! Whoooops, huh?
Of course Pauline was in tears initially. She told The Daily Mail:
I was horrified. Effectively, Michele was asking her boss how she could get rid of us. The suggestion was that we were undesirables, which we definitely are not. We're a hard-working, well-educated couple, who both speak well. ... It's clear to me that this hotel operates a policy of discrimination, which is terribly wrong, unfair and deeply, deeply hurtful. Paul and I can hold our own anywhere and in anyone’s company. We are thoroughly decent people and didn’t deserve this humiliation.No kidding! No one deserves to be turned away by a venue in this way. Sadly, it probably happens behind couples' backs more often than we realize ...
