By Bonnie Gropp,
Finding time together isn't easy in
this hectic world in which we live.
To keep romance fresh, sometimes
couples have to make time for each
other.
Whether planning a first or second
honeymoon, couples are pretty much
looking for the same thing in a get-
away spot, a combination of romance
and entertainment.
Traditionally, the tropics are the
hot spot for lovers. Travel agent
Sofia Rasa Wallace says many
couples enjoy the atmosphere offered
at the Sandals resorts. "These
couples only all-inclusive resorts are
the ultimate Caribbean vacation.
They offer a great deal in choices,
quality and luxury."
For couples longing to really get
away, there are European tour
packages available to places like
Turkey, Ireland and Australia, as
well as Princess Cruises.
For those who prefer something a little closer
• to home, Ms Rasa-Wallace recommends the
Beild House Country Inn in Collingwood. Built
at the turn of the century Beild House (which is
a Scottish word for shelter) has been converted
into an elegant 17 room country inn. Each of
its guest rooms features its own unique decor, a
gentle blending of antique furnishings with
modem amenities.
"Beild House offers a four season calendar of
getaways, which includes celebrations such as
weddings, spa packages or impulse weekends
away," says Ms Rasa-Wallace, adding that the
inn has been acclaimed by many magazines
and travel editors.
Their romance package, Ms Rasa-Wallace
says, will inspire couples to fall in love all over
again. The package, according to the inn's
brochure includes a "gourmet dinner,
candlelight, roses and each other..."
The dinner for two package offers one night's
accommodation, a Friday night buffet supper,
picnic lunch, afternoon sweet tea, hot and cold
hors d'oeuvres, a five course gourmet dinner
and a country fresh breakfast.
No matter where you're travelling, to get
started off on the right foot careful planning is
a must.
Experts recommend that to guarantee top
accommodations bookings should be done at
least one year ahead.
Educate yourself on your dream
destination. Find a good travel
agent.
If you don't have a major bank
credit card it would be wise to apply
for one at least six months before
your trip — you never know when
you might need it.
If you're going out of the country,
you should make sure your passport
is valid about four months before
you plan to leave. The bride's name
can not be changed on a passport
until after the wedding so
reservations should be made in her
maiden name or take along a copy
of the marriage license.
With just two months left review
the wardrobes and luggage
situation. Have an old camera
checked out or buy a new one.
(Take a practice roll and have it
developed.)
Refill prescriptions, keeping them
in their original container for customs' perusal.
About two weeks before your scheduled
departure you should have airline tickets, seat
assignments, hotel and car-rental
confirmations. (If not make some phone calls).
Arrange transportation to the airport.
Purchase traveller's cheques and enough
foreign currency to pay for taxis and tips.
Get your last minute packing finished up the
day before. Make sure to leave copies of your
itinerary, documents such as passports and
traveller's cheques with family members.
Confirm bookings and Bon voyage!

You're just back from the
honeymoon, ready to settle into a
cozy life as husband and wife. Now
comes the "happily ever after" part,
right?
Well, it's not always that simple.
Even couples who live together
before saying their vows are likely
to find "playing house" for keeps
quite different than they expected,
according to Bride's magazine.
According to their research, the
following tips nlight make the
transition to married life smoother.
• Check with your partner before
making big decisions or social
plans. He may dislike the paisley
couch you bought for the living
room; you might get angry because
he's invited his boss to dinner the
night you'd planned a long evening
in a bubble bath.
Making sure something is okay
with one's mate first can head off
headaches (and arguments) later.
• Be flexible. People come to
marriage with different ideas about
everything from religion to who
Question: What is the bride's table
seating arrangement?
Answer: It is the same for both a
sit-down and stand-up affair. Bride
and groom sit in the centre, behind
the cake. Groom sits to the bride's
right. To the groom's right sit best
man, bridesmaid, usher, brides-
maid, etc. The parents sit at a
separate table to the right of the
bride's table, or stand in a group to
the right of it, with the clergyman
and his wife. The order of the table
is bride's mother, groom's father,
clergyman's wife, bride's father,
groom's mother, clergyman.
***
Question: Which arm does the
bride take in the processional and
recessional?
Answer: According to tradition,
she is on her father's left arm, since
the right arm was the sword arm
and had to be free to defend her.
But for practical purposes, the right
arm is usually used.
should walk the dog. Compromise
is key; if you're not thrilled that he
expects you to make him breakfast
every morning (like his mom
faithfully did for his dad), offer to
whip up a terrific morning meal for
the two of you on the weekends.
During the week, he should share
in the work.
• Watch your "fighting styles."
When a heated discussion begins,
do you burst into tears, while he
withdraws? Learning to disagree
effectively is essential to marital
success, as is swallowing one's
pride once in a while. All couples
hurt or disappoint each other now
and then; it's only human.
• Don't be afraid of change. It
takes some work (not to mention
patience and a sense of humor) to
create a lifestyle which makes both
partners happy. But the reward — a
marriage that's able to grow in the
face of both prosperity and
adversity - is well worth the effort.
