Everyone has probably put some thought into weddings and marriage at some point in time. Do I want to get married? What would I want my ideal wedding ceremony to look like? Obviously, no two ideas on what constitutes a "perfect" wedding and marriage are going to be the same, and each couple has to spend time thinking about what they both want and will work best for them.
Some couples want a big fancy affair complete with a tiara for the bride, trumpets blaring a diamond the size of a grapefruit, while others are perfectly content to exchange vows in a garden with just a few friends and perhaps: no wedding rings? This may shock people with a more traditional mindset as to what goes on during a wedding ceremony, but some couples just do not want to wear rings. The following will look at both sides of the coin.
Rings: Love Them
Rings have been a part of wedding and marriage symbolism thousands of years. Their tradition is well known and beloved by many, and there are couples who simply cannot imagine having a wedding ceremony without rings. Rings are circular and never ending, thus representing the bonds and vows of marriage.
Not only is there the historical symbolism; couples like to be able to look down and see a daily reminder that they are a part of a union, a family. Wearing wedding rings also sends a message to the public, those who may not know you, about your relationship status and availability. Not that there should be a reason for one person not to approach another, many respect the ring on one's finger and will not attempt any pick up lines.
For brides to be, specifically, receiving an engagement ring can be a special occasion. She can be fawned over and her ring ogled by friends and family, and she can look forward to knowing that she will soon be adding another ring to compliment her engagement ring as well as her husband's wedding band. For men, a wedding band may be the only piece of jewelry that he regularly wears, making it all the more special.
Rings: Leave Them
Have you ever met an anti-bride? Not the type who never wants to get married, but the kind who wants to turn away from all form of traditional marriage and do her own thing. Maybe she wants to get a new tattoo to demonstrate the commitment she is making, or perhaps she hates jewelry and has no notions of ever wearing any.
Some grooms-to-be loathe the idea of jewelry as well, or they might work in occupations where wearing a ring would get in the way or be dangerous, no matter how simple the design. Some couples simply do not want to do things according to tradition. They may not need a ring on their finger to be reminded of their love for one another, and do not care what other people think about the status symbol that rings sometimes tend to be.
No matter which type of person you are, ring or no ring, a decision like this is something that should be talked about in great detail with your partner, engaged or not. You could be a woman hoping for a beautiful engagement ring, but if you are in love with an anti-jewelry man who has no clue how you feel, you may be staring at an empty ring finger for years. The beauty of a solid relationship is that you should easily be able to come to some sort of compromise.

Love, Think and Eat Your Way to the PMP Exam
The PMP exam is not your average high school examination where you can cram like crazy, feign failure of physical fitness on the day of the exam, and cross your fingers your teacher will swallow your Oscar-worthy performance hook, line and sinker. In short order, you have to prepare most rigorously for the PMP exam.
After all, passing this Professional Management Institute-administered examination is not just one more gem in your crown of achievements. You can cash in on your credentials with juicier job opportunities, for one thing. However, age, health, and lifestyle demands can get in the way of preparation and concentration. You need these brain boosters to get your brain power back on track while you enjoy doing them.
Love, Love, Love
Literally, that is. When you feel like slacking off on your review, you should make love to your wife or girlfriend. You have to be warned though: great monogamous sex is still the best mood booster.
And when you mood is better, you feel better, you concentrate better, you memorize better and you understand better. Now, if only you will not fall asleep after all that horizontal ballroom dancing because your PMP exam review materials are waiting for you to caress them, too.
Also, you can love your body by doing simple exercises in between reading and answering your review materials. When you exercise, you improve blood circulation throughout your body, thereby increasing blood flow to your brain. You can just stand up, touch your toes, and do jumping jacks for a few minutes to get your brain juices flowing again.
Furthermore, a hug, a kiss, a few encouraging words to family members and friends to show you care for them is good for your exam preparation. You have to tap into your support system to ensure that you keep your sanity in the midst of it all.
Think, Think, Think
But not negative thoughts. You have to stay positive for most of the times you are preparing for the PMP exam. Remember that what we think, we become. The key is in controlling your thoughts towards the things you desire, visualizing those things clearly in your mind and taking inspired action towards the attainment of your goals.
To achieve a positive state of mind, you have to surround yourself with positive people. You should be around family and friends who will make you laugh and relax, think positive thoughts, share the same interests and understand your PMP exam preparation for what it is - very important to your career but secondary to your personal life.
That being said, you need to avoid people who do nothing but complain about the unfairness of life. You can get depressed and discouraged just listening to them whine.
Eat, Eat, Eat
Just don't overdo it. You have to eat to keep up your energy. However, don't eat everything in sight and take the book-under-the-pillow to extremes by turning it into a PMBOK-eating exercise.
Keep these tips in mind when choosing what foods to eat:
1) keep unhealthy fats off your plate;
2) go for dark-colored fruits and vegetables especially spinach and broccoli;
3) eat plenty of fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna and sardines; and
4) chow down on whole grains like brown rice and whole-wheat pasta.
When you have enough love from your family and friends, have positive thoughts and have eaten healthy, you can be sure to ace your PMP exam. Now, buckle down and achieve another feather to your cap!
