Tradition that sparkles like new

Nothing shines like a bride moving

gracefully down the aisle on her

wedding day. And whether it’s a

diamond ring, an antique broach or a gleaming

necklace, nothing adds dazzle like jewelry.

Creme dela Gem owner Donna Ross said that whether the event is tailored around tradition or designed to refl ect something entirely new, jewelry has been a signifi cant part of nuptials for hundreds of years. Pope Innocent III in 1215 declared there be a longer period between betrothal and marriage, resulting in the advent of a ring designed to signify the intent to wed. The typical engagement ring didn’t become set with a diamond until the marriage of Maximilian I (then Archduke of Austria) to Mary of Burgundy in 1477.

Today, almost all engagement rings feature a diamond and some include other precious stones as well. Ross said the addition of rubies or sapphires is becoming commonplace when shopping for that special ring, and that a couple contemplating marriage should get advice from a jeweler about the Four C’s of diamond purchase: cut, clarity, color and carat.

In many cases, a diamond engagement ring

will be one of the major purchases a couple makes

during their marriage. A rule of thumb suggests an

expenditure equal to two months of the groom’s

wages. A smaller, high-quality diamond is often

preferable if the stone is considered an investment.

An emerging trend is the purchase of engagement

rings to be worn by both of the betrothed.

Ring and jewelry settings are another thing

to consider. Settings can be obtained in a variety

of yellow gold or platinum alloys from plating on

silver to pure gold or platinum (24K). In general, it’s

a good idea to stick with 14K or 18K settings, since

they are harder and more wear resistant. Pure silver

is not a good choice for an item that will be worn

consistently, since silver is soft, subject to wear and

tends to need frequent polishing.

The wedding rings themselves present an

additional opportunity to obtain custom-designed

jewelry that’s unique to the occasion. To see what

can be done with commercially available rings for

both the bride and groom, go to www.dorarings.

com for a look at a wealth of choices. Of course,

selecting rings is all about taste and budget. Some

couples prefer simple bands of gold while others opt

for something ornamental.

The adage “something old, something new,

something borrowed and something blue” is pertinent to

the choice of jewelry. Something old could be a mother’s

family heirloom broach. Something new could be an ankle

bracelet received as a gift from the groom on the day of

the wedding, while a borrowed item might be a string of

pearls loaned by a bridesmaid. Something blue might be

sapphire earrings.

Many weddings include jewelry for the bridesmaids

and even something for groomsmen. Pearl necklaces

are popular for the ladies while a tiepin or cuffl inks can

serve as mementos for gentlemen. And don’t forget the

parents of the bride and groom. A jewelry item for them

is certainly appropriate in order to keep the wedding

memory alive.

Various cultures maintain different traditions when

it comes to gift giving and the exchange of jewelry. An

Asian tradition has the groom present a pearl ring to the

bride’s father that is passed from him to his daughter

during the ceremony. A more modern gift would be

jewelry inserted in body piercings.

Ross recommends a meeting or consultation held

with wedding party members (bride-to-be, mother of the

bride, groom and others) in order to show them what’s

available and talk about custom-designed jewelry to help

make the event memorable and unique. Color is always

an important factor. Jewelry worn by wedding participants

needs to complement gowns and groom wear in order to

make the event as close to perfect as it can be.

Think about using lay-away to pay for more

expensive items over time and, of course, wedding

guests should consider jewelry store gift cards or

certifi cates as a way to honor the newlyweds and

provide the option to purchase items they really like. As

Creme dela Gem’s Ross puts it, “Jewelry is a marvelous

way to express one’s taste and provide beautiful lasting

memories you can wear.” Photos by Richard Wisdom

Whether it’s the gentle tropical breeze in sway-

ing palms that provides the allure or the

sheer liberation of jetting away to an exotic

locale, destination weddings have become the marriage

celebration of choice for many couples.

Today, almost two in 10 weddings are destination events – and Caribbean islands lead the list.

It’s no surprise. Tropical destinations have increasingly attract-ed celebrity couples – golf icon Tiger Woods and his bride Elin Nordegren, and Hollywood’s Ben Affl eck and Jennifer Garner, have made Caribbean islands their wedding destinations. But island nuptials are no longer the domain of the rich and famous.

Destination weddings on idyllic islands –

it’s all in the planning

Almost two in 10 weddings in 2007 were destination events. Hop onto the exotic bandwagon and you’ll fi nd sun-kissed shores the perfect setting for your nuptial event. Who knows? You might even run into a celebrity couple escaping the paparazzi.

In fact, thanks to package deals and seasoned wedding planners, destination weddings are easier than ever to arrange. To ensure a perfect outcome with the desired personal touch, it’s important to fi nd an experienced wedding guru who can, with an excellent support staff, watch every detail and relieve the pressure, so that the bride and groom can enjoy a stress-free wedding experience.

Beverly King of Jolly Beach Resort on the Caribbean island of Antigua has been planning island weddings for almost 20 years. She offers these suggestions: “Do your homework; it’s important to remember that marriage requirements vary among destinations. And if you have your heart set on a particular date, make arrange-ments well in advance if possible, as certain times of the year tend to book quickly. For

instance, we fi nd that the peak months for weddings are February, April, May, June and November.

“Couples who decide on a destination wedding might also want to break free from traditional wedding attire. I tell my brides and grooms to consider the climate and look for pieces that not only look great but travel well, like a cocktail dress in a light fabric and color.

“And while an island breeze helps set the tropical mood, it makes a veil diffi cult to control. As an alternative, I suggest wearing a small tiara or using fresh fl owers as accents. Grooms should also dress with comfort in mind – say, a light linen suit, or dress pants paired with a shirt and vest, or a classic guayabera for a true island feel.”

Brides and grooms desiring a sun-kissed destination wedding shouldn’t have

trouble fi nding a wedding package to fi t any budget. For instance, Jolly Beach Resort’s Dream Wedding Package (www.jollybeachresort.com) offers amenities and choices ranging from cake, champagne, photos and bouquets to fulfi lling the legal requirements. Couples can choose to have their ceremony at any location on the 40-acre property, which includes two wedding gazebos – one located on the resort’s dazzling half-mile-long beach.

With the aid of an experienced wedding planning team, an altar-bound couple can rest assured that their wedding day will be hassle-free. King, for example, not only handles the details of the wedding ceremony and reception, but she person-ally schedules the appointment to apply for the marriage license and she, or a member of her team, escorts the couple to ensure

that everything goes smoothly. “There is no residency requirement to be married in Antigua,” said King, “but we need couples to be here one working day prior to the ceremony to process the necessary documents.”

With all of the preparations completed and the license obtained, couples can simply relax and know they’ve chosen a stunning backdrop for their celebration, guaranteeing a wedding album full of joyous memories.

Technology transforms every aspect of

modern life these days, even the biggest day

of most people’s lives – their wedding day.

From wedding planning Web sites to digital photo slideshows presented at receptions and rehearsal dinners, technology is helping couples plan their weddings in ways that are much easier and save more time than ever.

Technology also helps engage the couple’s loved ones in, and preserve their memories of, their special day. Here are four of the hottest technology trends that are revolu-tionizing the way Americans plan their weddings:

Planning and Research Goes OnlineBrides once turned to monthly or seasonal wedding

magazines for advice and ideas. Now, modern brides plan their wedding online. Web sites have made it easy for brides to track the latest trends, look at thousands of gown options, and organize themselves for their big day. Where once a bride might tote around clips torn from magazines, fabric swatches, and contracts in a wedding planning binder, now most of those things are found and stored digitally through a wedding planning Web site.

Projectors for Rehearsal Dinners and Receptions

Every couple wants to make their wedding as personal as possible, and leave guests with the feeling that “Oh, that was so Todd and Rebecca!” Where once brides and grooms placed photos of themselves throughout a recep-tion or rehearsal dinner space, now a multimedia presenta-tion is all the rage. Video and still images, typically set to music, feature the couple throughout their lives, apart and together, and are replacing traditional photo albums, creat-ing an exciting personal touch to any wedding celebration.

Web sites like www.projector123.com rent state-of-the-art projectors for as little as $99 for a weekend. Couples order a projector online, have it shipped to them or their reception site for next-day arrival, and then connect the projector to a device like a laptop computer to project their photo montage presentation for the enjoyment of their guests.

“Jason and I really wanted to have a photo slideshow at our rehearsal dinner, but the restaurant wanted us to pay $500 on top of our reservation fee for all the equipment! So we went online to Projector123, and were able to order our own equipment and have it shipped directly to the restaurant,” says bride-to-be Christine Goldenberg of Los Angeles.

“Finding areas to cut costs for a wedding can be chal-lenging, and by ordering the projector online, we were able to save a signifi cant amount of money.”

Personal Wedding Web SitesPersonal wedding Web sites are popping up every-

where. For a small fee, couples design their very own Web site, where they post pictures of themselves, detail the specifi cs of their wedding day, feature bios of the bridal party, reveal their honeymoon destination and provide gift registry information all in one convenient online location.

“Most people have access to the Internet, so you now have the ability to use technology to make your wedding day as special and memorable as possible,” says recent newlywed Jay Joyer of Irvine. “We had a small wedding, but wanted all our friends and family to feel part of our big day, so we set up a wedding Web site where our guests could sign our online guestbook, read the story of our proposal, or make hotel reservations through the Accommodations section of our site. Everyone said it made making plans or staying up to date on our wedding so easy.”

As most guests now have access to the Internet, a personal wedding Web site is the ultimate convenience for guests to stay in touch with the couple and their latest wedding planning developments.

Online Ordering of Wedding PhotosNo more waiting months for wedding albums. Many

wedding photographers and videographers now take digital pictures or fi lm and post their proofs online. This streamlines the developing and choosing processes and allows entire albums to be viewed by couples and their guests, no matter where their location.

Many people believe that seven is a lucky

number. The Bible even refers to seven

as “the perfect number.” According to

TheKnot.com, more than 30,000 couples got married on

July 7, 2007, more than double the average number for a

Saturday in July.

The 7/7/07 rush to the altar caused quite a ripple effect in the wedding industry. Vendors cashed in on couples’ desire to tie the knot on this date, and wedding reception sites capital-ized on the lucky-seven theme, creat-ing special packages that built on the seven theme. Seven-layer wedding cakes, bridal suites with 7 in the room number and reception tables in multiples of seven were some of the specials available.

While it’s too late to book a 7/7/07 wedding, you can still get engaged and married using the seven motif. For those popping the question, consider these tips for maximizing the theme:

Choose a restaurant or location with a 7 in the address or name.

Propose at 7:07 p.m. (or a.m., if you’re an early riser).

Nestle the ring within a bouquet of seven roses or between seven chocolate truffl es.

Include seven reasons you love your partner in a poem or the sentiments of your proposal.

Cuddle up watching movies with seven in the name, such as “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,” “The Seven Year Itch,” “Six Days, Seven Nights” or “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”

Regardless of what day you’re proposing, keep the following advice in mind:

DO make it personal by picking a special place or reciting personalized sentiments, including

why you want to marry this person.DON’T make it public. Most

women don’t want thousands of people witnessing their proposal.

Keep it intimate.DO know whether your

bride-to-be wants to pick out her own ring or if she prefers a surprise. Jewelry is

often a personal preference.DON’T make it compli-

cated. Too many surprises planned for the big

moment can distract you from the main focus – the proposal itself.

DO go down on one knee. It will

make the moment even more special.DON’T do it in front

of family, which could add extra stress to the moment.

Flinging fl owers and …

Brides have so many adored little girls in their

lives that they often choose more than one

fl owergirl. It’s not unusual to see groups of

fl owergirls – including all the bride and groom’s nieces

– which eliminates the charge of favoritism. And it’s a

precious scene when fi ve or six little ones in white party

dresses with pink sashes make their way down the aisle

preceding the bride.

Etiquette standards suggest that girls between the ages of

4 and 7 are named fl owergirls, while girls ages 8 to 14 who are

too old to be fl owergirls yet too young to be bridesmaids are

named junior bridesmaids. (Their responsibilities are similar, ex-

cept that the junior bridesmaids don’t scatter fl ower petals, and

they often stand with the bridal party during the ceremony while

the fl owergirls sit with their parents.)

The bride might decide that 16 is an appropriate age for

the title of Junior Bridesmaid, and that 3 is an acceptable age

for your niece to be a fl owergirl. All roles are granted according

to each girl’s maturity level – we’ve all seen some well-behaved

3-year-olds, and we’ve seen some 8-year-olds who act like 3-

year-olds. So it’s purely a matter of “Can this child accept the

responsibility?”Luckily, the responsibilities are few, and tasks are short in du-

ration. Kids don’t need long attention spans, and the brief span of the work makes wedding day easy for the youngest fl owergirl. Wedding expert Sharon Naylor, author of 34 wedding books, including “The Bridesmaid Handbook” and “The Essential Guide to Wedding Etiquette” (both Sourcebooks, 2005) gives a lineup of the responsibilities of today’s modern fl owergirl:Before the Wedding Day

She should participate in choosing her dress for the wedding day, along with sash, shoes or accessories.

She should attend pre-wedding parties and showers with her parents. Her name should be added to the card that accompa-nies the parents’ wedding gift.

She should participate in the planning for bridal showers and assigned kid-friendly projects such as assembling the favors.

She should attend the rehearsal and learn her tasks, and at-tend the rehearsal dinner.On the Wedding Day

She should arrive with her parents at the location where the bride and bridesmaids will prepare for the wedding.

She should have her hair styled for the wedding.She should participate in the pre-wedding photo session.She should walk in the processional immediately preceding

the bride. She may be asked to sprinkle rose petals during her walk, or if the site forbids petal-sprinkling, she may simply carry a

It’s a foregone conclusion that’s become a modern

maxim: the wedding is all about the bride. She’s

the focus, the star of the show. It’s her day.

While all eyes are on the bride as she fl oats down the aisle, the groom is often relegated to second-class citizenship – not to mention the groomsmen. While all eyes are riveted on the bevy of beauties in matching dresses, groomsmen tend to disappear into the background.

One person who shouldn’t fail to notice the groomsmen is the groom himself. Part of being a good groom is not only showing support for your blushing bride, but showing appre-ciation for your groomsmen. Groomsmen make vital contribu-tions before and during the wedding, whether it’s offering support to a nervous groom or organizing one fi nal and memorable get-together before the he ties the knot.

“Groomsmen are often overlooked in a wedding party, even though they play important roles,” says Mark Walerstein, founder of GroomsOnline (www.groomsonline.com), an informational Web site offering tips, pointers and timesaving hints designed to make the planning process more fun, relaxing and rewarding for the man.

A good groom should recognize the efforts of his groomsmen and reward them for their efforts. GroomsOnline offers a host of unique gifts that are sure to be appreciated by the men who play an important role in the wedding party.

Commemorate the receptionWhile women tend to lean toward the

sentimental side at weddings, men are often less so, and tend to focus on the celebratory

aspects of the day. For grooms whose groomsmen are more likely to reminisce about the reception than the ceremony itself, consider the GroomsOnline Pub design line of gifts. Grooms can give out a personalized pub sign, pub shot glass, pub beer stein, or a pub bubble clock as a means of commemorating the day. Such gifts can then be displayed at celebrations for years to come.

Back to the bachelor partyThese days, weekend getaways are a common theme

of many bachelor parties. If your bachelor party happened to be a weekend getaway where you and your groomsmen kicked back and enjoyed your favorite activity, consider gifts that evoke memories of that special weekend where you were

the guest of honor. Specifi c gift designs from

GroomsOnline include fi shing, pool hall, golf and hunting lodge, to name a few.

Take a swing at a great giftFor grooms and groomsmen especially fond of America’s

pastime, consider the most popular gift offered through GroomsOnline: a personalized Louisville Slugger bat commem-orating your big day and each groomsman’s participation in it. Each bat is engraved with the groomsman’s name (plus with the groom’s and bride’s). The bat can even be engraved with your favorite team’s logo. Other gifts include personally signed baseballs, perfect for any sports fan.

Go the fanciful routeFor grooms whose wedding will be an elegant affair,

celebrate that elegance by giving your groomsmen a gift they’re sure to value for years. Perhaps

no accessory for men is more elegant than a pocket watch. Engrave a pocket watch for each groomsmen in your party as a show of appre-ciation and an acknowledgement

of his role in helping you and your bride create an atmosphere and a

day you’ll remember forever. You can also score extra points by engraving a special sentiment to your own father or the father of the bride.

Honor the men who make weddings special

Groomsmen often play a signifi cant role in a wedding, one the groom should acknowledge with a thoughtful gift.

As any viewer who watches the glam-

orous Hollywood awards ceremonies

can easily see, some of the most

notable fashion statements visible on the red

carpet – in addition to glorious gowns, glitter-

ing jewels and elegant tuxedos – are the stars’

dazzling smiles.

By the same token, no bride or groom should forget the importance of a “red-carpet smile” as they prepare to walk down the aisle to receive their own lifetime award: each other’s hand in marriage.

With all eyes and cameras focused on the happy couple, one of the surest ways for them to shine is to fl ash a stunning, camera-ready smile for all to see and for those photos that the pair will cherish forever.

Consistent with today’s growing trend toward teeth whitening, engaged lovebirds are realizing that their wedding is an ideal time to brighten those pearly whites. There are a variety of options from which to choose, ranging from expensive dental cosmetic procedures to simple, inex-

pensive, over-the-counter solutions such as whitening toothpaste.

Toothpastes such as Mentadent Advanced Whitening Supreme contains both baking soda and peroxide. “Adding the benefi ts of baking soda and peroxide to your daily oral care regimen can help you achieve a glistening smile-makeover,” says Dr. Dennis Wells, a nationally recognized expert on

cosmetic dentistry and founder of the

Nashville Center

for Aesthetic Dentistry.According to Wells, who has enhanced the smiles

of music celebrities and beauty-pageant contestants, and has been featured on the ABC-TV program

“Extreme Makeover,” “Such a solution is a great option

for any bride or groom looking for an easy, safe and quick way to get a beautiful, healthy smile for their special day.”

Of course, it stands to reason that tooth-whit-ening should be accom-panied by a consistent

routine of proper dental care, including brushing, fl oss-

ing and regular visits to one’s dentist. But whatever route one chooses to a brighter visage, a perfectly polished smile remains an important aspect of body language in communicating with

one’s family, friends, and business or professional associates.

And perhaps in no setting is a beam-ing, radiant face more important for a

woman than at her wedding. As the 18th-century Swiss philosopher John Lavater wrote,

“A beautiful smile is to the female countenance what the sunbeam is to the landscape.”

Red Rhino rumbles into sports bar scene

The new Red Rhino Ultra Sports Bar,

located in The Winco Shopping Center

in Brentwood, invites you to come in,

sit down, get comfortable and stay awhile.

Owner Bill Worthington and General Manager Stephanie Johnson promise an inviting atmosphere, 11 plasma screen TVs, full bar and an extensive menu that doesn’t stop at your usual sports-bar fare.

“My competition isn’t the other sports bars in town,” says Bill. “I’m competing with people’s living rooms. A lot of people have their own big-screen TV at home now, and they’re mixing their own martinis. I want to provide a place that’s just as comfortable. I want people to feel like they can spend a few hours here and enjoy some really good food. Let us mix the martinis.”

Worthington, 43, is a no stranger to East County. Born in Richmond, he attended San Jose State after being offered a full scholarship in judo, and was a state champion. He opened his fi rst night club in San Francisco, called Loft Eleven, and currently owns and operates The Room, another popular nightclub in the city.

A big sports fan, Bill has entertained the notion of owning a sports bar for a long time. He decided to return to East County and open Red Rhino, which also allows him to be closer to his young son, who lives in Brentwood.

Great food is a must at any sports bar, and Chef Ken Heindel, who comes to Red Rhino from Brentwood’s Hiro’s, has come up with a menu that’s sure to please everyone. The impressive menu spans the spectrum from nachos to steaks, and features an

Come summertime, the new fully enclosed patio, which cost over $20,000 to build, will become a Bier Garten. Bill would like to eventually offer dancing on Friday and Saturday nights, but is taking things one step at a time, establishing a good clientele fi rst.

Red Rhino offi cially opened on Dec. 28 and has already attracted loyal customers. “I’ve been here for lunch and now for dinner,” said Lynn Kieckhefer, a personal fi tness trainer and football fan. “The food is excellent and the portions are huge. The Caesar salad wrap is enough for two people.”

Pittsburg resident Jim Calkins agreed: “The steak here is excellent, and the garlic fries are very tasty.”

As for the service, Margaret Di Stefano, a fourth-grade teacher at Jack London Elementary, raved about both the hostess and the waitress: “They seem very eager to please. I appreciate that.”

When asked about the “Ultra” in his establishment’s name, Bill explained, “Ultra means no peanut shells on the fl oor. Just a bit more upscale. Good food, good drinks and quality entertainment while feeling comfortable. A place that’s nice enough to take your girlfriend to,” says Bill.

Golf USA and Red Rhino will partner up in the future, planning golf tournaments and other events. And Red Rhino will be hosting a big Super Bowl party featuring plenty of drink specials and activities. For more information and a complete menu, visit www.redrhinosportsbar.com or call 240-6322.
