Here’s hoping all of our readers made it through Hurricane Sandy okay. The constant media coverage of impending doom likely scared most people on the East Coast and ruined many peoples’ plans/yards/cars/homes. I’m here to help you find a few silver linings of the storm:
5. Your wedding wasn’t ruined or delayed by Sandy. Just think of those poor other girls and their families this coming weekend.
4. If your basement flooded you can finally replace the carpet down there (with the help of insurance dollars)!
3. Years from now you can regale your children with stories of Frankinstorm and how “Grandpa” kept you safe.
2. The power may be out, but you have love and someone to cuddle up with to stay warm. Here’s hoping you have a bottle of wine too!
1. You & your spouse are alive! Seriously. A massive natural disaster happened and didn’t affect the most important relationship of your life.
I encourage you to take a minute to realize how fortunate you are in surviving this storm as a newlywed. If you don’t have to go into to work today, consider using that feeling of gratefulness to motivate yourself to volunteer somewhere where you can make a not-so fortunate person’s life a little easier post-Sandy.

Love Is Spoken Here
Love Is Spoken Here. Every newlywed out there should hang this print near the entrance to their home as a reminder of how important love and loving words are. So much time and energy goes into day to day living (hello 60 hour work weeks), that it can be easy to forget the simple things like saying “I love you”.
Even if you don’t decorate your home with this quote, place it towards the front of your brain. The next time you’re crabby it can keep you from lashing out at your spouse and might even motivate you to engage in some random acts of love.
WedPics: The Coolest New Photo App For Weddings
As a newlywed, one of the very best things is looking through your wedding photos and re-living the amazing moments that comprised your big day. What about all the photos your guests took with their phones and the photo booth? Some will appear instantly on Facebook, but some truly amazing shots will never be shared. That is until WedPics was created.
This awesome new company allows brides to share a code with their guests via invitation inserts (which did we mention are free?) or via email. The code allows guests to access the bride’s photo gallery and instantly shares any photos taken with the super cool app. The result? Every moment from every angle of your wedding is shared instantaneously with the bride and all of her invited users.
Newlyweds boarding the flight for their honeymoon can scroll through the hundreds of photos guests take and get a feel for how amazing the experience was well before their photographer can email them proofs. Any photo in the gallery can be downloaded and printed by the bride…making album creation that much more fun and easy!
Having personally met the founders of WedPics (whom we heart) we couldn’t help but share this innovative new wedding technology with all of our soon-to-be bride and newlywed readers. Pass the word on ladies!! I wish I had WedPics when I got married.
