The Goderich Signal-Star, 1979-03-01, Page 51A marriage counselor
once said that if a girl went
into a new job with as little
planning as she went into
matrimony, she'd be fired
within a week.
And a doctor, called in to
treat a prospective bride for
nervous tension, advised the
family to change the name
of her wedding day to
"headache day".
It's certain that when cus-
tom decreed that "some-
thing blue" to be included•at
every wedding, it wasn't in-
tended to be the bride. Yet,
on what should be the hap-
piest day of her life, "Blue"
is what many brides feel —
to their own consternation,
and the bewilderment of
family and friends.
Is all this nervous tension
and/or headache a neces-
sary prelude. to the wed-

Experts, who have re-

Today's bride knows that
her silver gifts will become
the heirlooms to be passed
on with loving care. And,
the more they are used,the
more treasured they be-
come, softly glowing with a
patina that only proper use
can achieve. Here is an easy
guide for the bride who
wants to get the most
pleasure from her sterling
and prepare it for future
generations.
1) Use it daily, rotating it
to give each piece plenty of,
use.
2) Wash silver .in hot,
sudsy water. Rinse well with
hot water and dry thorough-
ly.
3) When washing, don't
crowd the silver; use steel
wool or soap pads.
4) An over-all cleaning
with polish every month or
so is sufficient with often -
used silver. For best results,
use lengthwise strokes on
flatware; follow the con -
'Just be
yourself!'

advice? Wear your hair in
the style you normally

citement.

tiful bride is pure and sim-
ple — be yourself. The

sparkle) . So why not get
your hair sparkling with
a.little excitement.

Advice to the Bride -to -Be:
tude it can also be one of the
most wonderful.
Following are ten rules
that will help any bride-to-
be:
I. Be tolerant of other's
opinions and advice. They
mean well or they wouldn't
offer their thoughts. •
2. Be receptive to sugges-
tions from outside sources
other than your family. You
may learn ways and means
of making your wedding day
more beautiful and mean-
ingful.
3. Be kind to your family
and your future in-laws.
`Your wedding preparations
are often as difficult for
them to understand and ac-
cept as their resistance may
' be for you to accept.
4. Be tolerant of neigh-
bors, friends and colleagues
who make demands on your
time.
5. When you make a deci-
sion, remain flexible. There
is more than one way of
looking at wedding prepara-
tions.
6. Remember your fiance

also has a great stake in the
wedding. Let your deCi-

plans be the result of team-
work.
7.-11 is only natural to be
concerned about the future.
But keep in mind that prob-
lems about money, chil-
dren, a home, and jobs have
a way of being solved where
love and- thoughtfulness
point the way.
8. Have a talk with your
family doctor about the
physical aspects of your
marrage. This should .go far
toward allaying any super-
stitions and unfounded fears
you may have.

9. Adjust to, the realities
of your situation. If the wed-
ding plans are becoming too
extravagant or too expen-
sive, settle for something
more simple and in good
taste.
10. Guard against be-
coming physically, mental-
ly and emotionally fatigued.
