This morning, I read some interesting facts about love. I also saw these instructions how to make fortune cookies. I thought about combining the two. This way, your guests would have interesting table conversations, like when we open our Christmas crackers at our office Christmas parties. I also like the Chinese element because it reflects my fiance’s culture. 

1. Men who kiss their wives in the morning live five years longer than those who don’t.

2. People are more likely to tilt their heads to the right when kissing instead of the …

The funny ones are the ones where the bride and groom dolls are doing something funny. But I dont know how that would go down on my in-laws, especially if they dont get the joke! 
 

This one called “Gone Fishing” is actually one of …

I’ve gone cupcake crazy- I admit it. Ever since I thought about having cupcakes at weddings instead of the traditional wedding cake, I’ve loved that idea. I think it would be different and cheaper.

This afternoon, I had a lunch with some of my fiance’s friend. One of whom is getting married in 2 months time. Invariably, all the conversations ended up being about weddings and engagements.
