I would like to thank my family, friends and all those who watched my wedding on the March 5th episode of TLCs Four Weddings! Our wedding was everything I had dreamed of and more! David and I were able to incorporate our beautiful Jewish traditions and beliefs with our love of NYC nightlife into one of the most memorable nights ever! Being on Four Weddings was certainly an (interesting) experience that I cannot forget and I’m grateful for the opportunity that I had to share my wedding with so many. No, I didn’t win, and yes I feel that they made my wedding look as they needed to for reality tv, but for all of you that were there, or who watch it on tv… maybe you can weigh in???
You can also go to the Iris Fields Facebook Fan Page and vote in our poll to let us know your thoughts on the episode.
Thank you all for your support!

Together Ariana and David regularly attend MJE sponsored events in New York. Ariana has planned several events including the most recent MJE Downtown Gala and their involvement with this non-profit has deepened their connection to the Jewish community in NYC and in Israel.

Whether you plan to have an intimate wedding ceremony or a grand soirée, your friends and family members will likely have a desire to get involved or contribute to the planning process in some shape or form. While you may not want them to offer too much advice, there are fortunately some fun and easy ways to keep them included. And who knows, you may even find that you receive some helpful information along the way.
First, if you have a wedding website, consider including a music request form. Not only will your guests be able to provide you with their song wish list, but you will also be able to get a sense of what will keep the party hoppin’.
Consider also offering an address book form on your website, so your guests can add or update their mailing address information. Allowing your guests to do this on their own will not only free you up to stay focused on the other aspects of your planning, but it will also provide you with a means of obtaining the information you will need when it comes time to send out your wedding invitations.
Many couples have opted to include poll and quiz questions on their websites. Some questions may even relate back to the planning decisions they need to make. While some couples use the responses to actually help them make their decisions, such as where to go for their honeymoon, others take the advice with a grain of salt. Either way, your guests will have fun and will feel as though they are contributing to your experience.
Many brides also benefit from blogging about their wedding planning experience. Planning a wedding, as we all know, can be quite stressful. For many, a wedding blog provides an opportunity to share thoughts and feelings with friends and family members. You may find that you receive both helpful advice and much needed support via the blog entry comments. However, if you are not one to share your thoughts, your blog is great for updating your guests about any changes to your wedding plans.
If you want to allow your guests to receive regular updates regarding your wedding plans, consider including an optional mailing list on your wedding website. That way, you can alert your guests to changes with one simple email.
Planning a wedding is exciting and fun, but no one ever said that you have to do it alone, so don’t hesitate to provide your friends and family members with a way to help you with your choices and decisions. They will likely enjoy feeling involved and in the end, you may benefit from getting some helpful advice.
