If you and your future hub don’t exactly leap at the chance to talk about money, you’re in good company. In the midst of wedding-planning madness, most to-be-wed couples tend to put financial discussions on the back burner. But money—family budget, saving vs. spending, to join accounts or not to—is a key issue in starting your married life on the right financial footing.
In this week’s feature story, bestselling and nationally syndicated finance guru Dave Ramsey puts in his two cents on how to have, and maintain, positive discussions on the topic of dollars.

Let’s just forget that old wives’ tale about wedding pearls and luck (or lack thereof) once and for all, shall we? Plenty of pearl-wearing brides have enjoyed long, loving marriages—while, we’re sure, a fair share of non-pearl-girls have not.
And, really, what could be a more perfect wedding accessory than a necklace or pair of earrings featuring those lovely, lustrous, white-hued wonders? Genuine or faux, nobody needs to know. Vintage glamour? Regal sophistication? Understated elegance?
The world of gorgeous pearl wedding jewelry is your oyster, lucky bride!

From the bride’s sublime silk-taffeta Pronovias gown and the heirloom handkerchiefs she carried during the ceremony, to The Houstonian Hotel & Spa reception’s crisp white linens and warm, elegant lighting, the wedding of Stephanie Elizabeth Rennell to Dennis Michael Tippit represented a return to grand tradition—but with an intimate "home supper" feel.
Read and see more about this opulent 250-guest affair in this week’s feature wedding story.

Traditionally, the groom’s family hosts the rehearsal dinner. Whether you opt to adhere to convention, have the folks go halvsies or host your own, your rehearsal dinner likely will be the first opportunity your fiance’s family and closest friends, and your own, have to relax, revel and enjoy each other’s company. So no matter what the tone of your wedding—traditional and formal, chic and sophisticated, romantic and whimsical—your rehearsal dinner should be fun. Houston is absolutely full of fabulous rehearsal dinner venues, from world-renowned dining establishments to lively pubs and barbecue joints to hotel banquet rooms and lounges. Check out our rehearsal dinner venue listings, and share them with whoever might have the honor of hosting your pre-wedding dinner. They’ll thank you for the tip!

Isaac Tristan, owner
ICIT Entertainment
Former elementary-school teacher Isaac Tristan did 20 parties the year he launched his bartending business, a decade ago. These days, ICIT Entertainment works more than 300 events a year, everywhere from banquet halls to universities. But Tristan has a special place in his heart for weddings, where his goal,
Houston bride, is "to make you as stress-free as possible." Sure, he and his team of professional mixmasters are intent on making your wedding reception "a real party,"
he says, but with always with client satisfaction, and guest and public safety, as a top priority. In the coming season, Tristan says, look for "robust red wines" to make
a beautiful showing at weddings. For value, Tristan says to-be-weds can’t go wrong with ICIT’s popular well-bar package: "It gives our clients beer, wine, champagne and
well drinks, as well as nonalcoholic drinks, at a price that cannot be beat by any other beverage caterer." For more details, call 281.851.1236 or visit ICIT at weddingsinhouston.com.
