Minister a Wedding
Wedding minister is one of the most important jobs in the wedding process---the minister is responsible for bringing the couple together in holy matrimony. If you would like to minister a wedding, you don't have to be a priest or religious figure. To minister a wedding you must complete a special course that certifies you to perform a wedding ceremony that is legally binding.
Hem a Wedding Dresses
Whether you’re sewing your own wedding dress or need to adjust the length of a store-bought or heirloom bridal gown, the hem is an important finishing touch. You can sew the hem for a wedding dress using a sewing machine, but it’s best to stitch it by hand. This will help hide the stitches and, more importantly, keep the lower edge of the dress smooth and flowing. If you do sew the hem by machine, use a fine-tipped needle designed for delicate fabrics and make sure the tension is not too tight. In any case, the first step in hemming a wedding dress is to get it the right length. For this, you’ll need two people: the bride and a helper. It also helps to have a mirror, preferably floor-length.
