Q: The wedding ceremony booklet should include the full names of the bride and groom, the wedding date and time, and the city, state and venue where the wedding is being held. This information is usually on the cover of the booklet. The ceremony booklet includes information about the actual ceremony so guests can follow along and participate. The booklet may list traditional parts of a wedding ceremony, such as the procession, invocation, declaration of intent, vows exchange, ring exchange, pronouncement and recession. Include the names of musical selections, composers and performers. If the musical selections are to be sung by the wedding guests, include the words to the songs or indicate where the song selections can be found. For example, if the wedding is held in a church, the ceremony booklet may refer guests to the pew hymnals. List the name, source and authorship of any readings, as well as the name of each reader. Include words to all prayers or sung responses. For example, if the congregation will recite the Lord's Prayer as part of a Christian wedding ceremony, include the words to the prayer in the ceremony program. If Holy Communion will be part of a Catholic wedding ceremony, include the sung responses in the ceremony bulletin. This encourages active participation by all wedding guests. Indicate movements guests will make during the wedding ceremony. For example, note when guests stand, sit or kneel during the ceremony. Provide explanations for religious and cultural traditions, rituals or customs featured in the ceremony. Write a brief explanation, including the history and background of the ritual and why it is significant to your wedding, to inform guests who do not share your culture or religion. For example, explain the symbolism of jumping a broom or breaking a wine glass if your wedding ceremony includes these traditions. The wedding ceremony booklet provides an opportunity to share personal information about the couple. Share the story of how you met and how your relationship grew. Include a few special memories or funny stories about your relationship. Consider including favorite photographs, poems, song lyrics or quotes. Include sentimental or significant information about the wedding details. List the bride's "something old, something new" accessories, or explain the significance of heirloom candlesticks, a family Bible or a bridal canopy used in the ceremony. Include the first and last names of all participants in the wedding ceremony, including the officiant, matron/maid of honor, best man, bridesmaids, groomsmen, ushers, flower girls, ringer bearers, vocalists, musicians, greeters and readers. Include the first and last names of parents and grandparents of the bride and groom. Include information about the relationship of each person to the bride or groom. For example, list the best man with his full name and his relationship to the groom. (Joe Smith, Best Man and college friend of the groom) The guests will feel more included in the celebration if they know some information about the wedding party and participants. Honor deceased loved ones with a special note in the wedding ceremony booklet. Many wedding ceremony booklets include a thank you note to the parents of the bride and groom, as well as one to the wedding guests. The note does not have to be lengthy, but should express sincere appreciation for being a part of the couple's wedding day. The ceremony bulletin provides an ideal place to include additional instructions about the wedding day. For example, remind your guests that maps to the reception are located by the doors of the venue, or reiterate that flash photography is not permitted during the ceremony.
A: Provide basic information about the wedding. List the elements and order of the wedding ceremony. Include personal information about the bride and groom. Provide information about the wedding party, family, musicians, readers and officiant. Include a thank you note to parents and guests. Include any special instructions related to the wedding ceremony or reception.

Q: No one controls your worth and self-esteem except you. While you may seek approval from your husband, understand that he can't change how you feel about yourself, but you can. While getting words of reassurance from your husband can help to boost your self-esteem, don't rely solely on him to determine how you feel about yourself or your appearance. Practice building up your self-esteem and self-worth. Consider saying these words of self-affirmation: "My self-worth is not determined by the number on the scale," or "I am more than my appearance." Don't fall into despair when your husband says you're fat. If you already have certain goals about your body image, keep them going. Avoid letting your husband control the goals that you have for your health, your happiness, and your life. Determine what goals feel right for you about your health and body image. Determine what makes you feel special and appreciated. Advocate for yourself and your needs. Find ways to feel good about who you are beyond what your husband says. Think about what activities make you truly happy. If your husband's comment didn't strike a nerve, deal with the name calling rather than focusing on the bit about your appearance. When you've been hurt or insulted, you may feel like you want to retreat or fight back. Rather than expending so much energy on negative thoughts and feelings, focus on what makes you feel positive about yourself and your life. Take time for yourself to do these things: Reflect on the positive things about you and your body. Write in a journal about what you like about yourself. Choose at least 3 things to write about. Do activities that are independent of your spouse or family. Have a night out with your friends. Go out and explore a new place. Cross something off your bucket list. Focus on activities that restore a sense of peace and love for your body. Consider gentle yoga or meditation. Get a massage. Do things that make you feel beautiful and refreshed.
A: Remember that you determine your self-worth. Figure out your goals, regardless of what your husband says. Practice self-care.

Q: Never take a turtle from the wild. Not only is this cruel and unfair to the turtle, it is also illegal in most states. If you still are determined, be sure you have the legal paperwork to do so. The kindest thing you can do is to get an adult turtle that is no longer wanted, and there are a lot of abandoned turtles that need homes. Check out availability at adoption, rehoming or turtle rescue organizations. You can also try reputable breeders to get your turtle. Beware of pet stores that keep turtles in poor conditions. A number of turtles are ill before you buy them. Look around and take note of the turtle's behavior, as well as the conditions the turtles are kept in. The water in the tank should not smell. If it does this is a sign the turtles have not been cleaned out regularly and are more likely to become sick. It is not recommended to buy from large breeders, as they usually have bad conditions and lack veterinary care. Your turtle will probably be a little shy when you bring it home. It may take a few days before your turtle feels safe enough to venture forth from the shelter of its shell. Leave it in peace to settle down and wait for it to feel more confident. You will not be able to determine the sex until a turtle is a mature adult, from 2 to 4 years old. Males will have longer nails and tails than females. Females will also be larger in general.
A:
Purchase your turtle. Give your new turtle some space. Determine the sex of your turtle.
