The word Bouquet originated from an old French term which means "clump of trees" and was introduced to English by Lady Mary Montague in 1761.

For most people, the joy of finding true love and deciding to go into matrimony with a spouse usually knows no bound. However, most people enter into this lifelong union without adequate knowledge of their partner’s health status and so become disappointed and frustrated with marriage because of medical conditions that could have been identified and tackled before this lifelong commitment. The knowledge of your intending partner’s health status by no means implies that marriage is not possible but it gives you an avenue to make informed consent and it enables you and your spouse seek proper medical care early to prevent unnecessary stress and burden during marriage.

A pre-wedding shoot is, as the name implies, a photo shoot staged before the wedding. And although the idea still sounds odd and perplexing to many, it is a style that is fast gaining ground in many parts of the world.  It is, by some miles, the most popular trend in weddings today.

Now, some couples absolutely love the idea of a pre-wedding shoot; some couples think it’s a waste of time and money; and there are those who say that they simply prefer ‘candid’ shots.

So, opinions are divided. But if you asked me, I’d say, ‘oh yeah, go for it!’

Groomsmen are a reminder of the chivalry code that was the norm during the medieval age, formerly referred to as Brides Knight, they helped the groom capture his bride during the primitive days of marriage by capture. In modern times, grooms men provide much needed assistance to the groom which include helping the guests find their seats, standing by the groom at the altar amongst others.
