Exchanging Vows
June 2009 Edition
Issue 38
Retro Bride and Groom

It's all about relationships this month. Many things in our society have changed dramatically, but June remains the most popular wedding month. (2008 statistics show, however, that other months may be overtaking it.)

Regardless of when people say "I do," every month is a good time to evaluate the relationships -- business and personal -- in your own life, and focus on those people who will stick with you "in sickness and in health."

Something Old...Something New
Transformers: Trends & Facts
Green Bride and Groom

...something borrowed, something green! More couples are marrying "off the grid" and saving money by reducing, re-using, and recycling as they celebrate their nuptials.

And spouses are also being "recycled" as 75% of women remarry within ten years following divorce. Alas, 25% of second marriages end after five years.

Those who are tying the knot are lacing it a little tighter in 2009, due to the recession. Here are some ways couples are cutting costs while cutting the cake.

Social media now even plays a role in resolving marital disputes. Type in your dispute on this website and site-visitors can take "virtual sides."
