Beautified diversity
Functioning as one body
Every part encouraged by the other
No one independent of another
You're irreplaceable, indispensable
You're incredible
You're incredible
(Chorus)
Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride
Strengthen your arms now
Train your fingers for battle
Urgency's here now
Train your fingers for battle
Fighting this violence
With your feet wrapped in peace
Sad tears and silence
Now screams of joy
Victory
(Chorus)
Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride
Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
We're not gonna fall and forget
How far You went to pick us up
If one part's hurt the whole body's sick
If one part mourns we all mourn with Him
Rejoice, we'll sing with you
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
(Chorus)
Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride
Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride
Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride

This baby shower was thrown by my side of the family on April 10, 2010 and Gabe's side will be throwing us one in May =) I was 30 weeks and 1 day pregnant and we had so much fun! Lilia got SO many things, especially clothes! We also got a bassinet, baby swing, infant bath tub, high chair, and a travel system so sorry I couldnt fit everything into the video! We played so many fun games and you'll see some of them in the vid. Enjoy! =)

Hey guys-Joslyn Davis here with all fashion hits and misses from
this year's People's Choice Awards. The red carpet recap is next
right here on ClevverTV.
The People's Choice Award is just the first stop in the craziness
that we call Award's show season. Newbies and veteran actors were
out in full force, and the clothes did not disappoint.
First up, let's talk about the ladies. This year, our favorite
country ladies completely stole the show. You know I'm talking
about Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood. And Taylor Swift didn't
even really walk the red carpet-she snuck in the back door at the
very last minute, but we still got a good look at her white Jenny
Packham dress. Her paired the frock with some silver peep toes by
Christian Louboutin and finished the look off perfectly with
gorgeous earrings and a side-swept do. Is it just me, or does
Taylor look like a super model here?
Also getting top honor in the fashion category is Carrie
Underwood. Maybe it's just the happy glow that's radiating off
the newly engaged gal that really drew us in, but her unique
dress was amazing. The Christian Cota creation was edgy and
girlie at the same time and we've never really seen anything like
it before. And did you see the rock on her ring-finger. It's
pretty breath taking too.
Other ladies we loved were veterans Sandra Bullock and Nicole
Kidman, who clearly both have impeccable taste, judging from
their matching-side part hair styles.
As far as the guys go- Taylor Lautner continues to do no wrong in
his signature grey toned suit. Kellan Lutz also dazzled on the
red carpet. And we've gotta say that even though he was wearing
jeans, Johnny Depp is still one of the hottest men on the
planet.
So do you guys agree with our ClevverTV picks? Hit the comments
section with your own red carpet recap. And stick with us here
throughout all of Awards Show season for all your red carpet
exclusives. I'm Joslyn Davis-thanks for watching.

Brides kiss goodbye to dream weddings
NEW YORK - The recession in the United States also hits the wedding industry, as companies go bankrupt, taking down dreams of brides with them. Couples are scaling back on items such as champaigne and chocolate fountains, a sector expert says, while some unlucky couples have to change original wedding plans due to rising bankruptcies in the sector
Connie Banks was planning a "brides dream" at Tuscany of Garden Oaks, a Houston banquet hall with ceilings painted to resemble the Sistine Chapel. Then the halls owner filed for bankruptcy.
Banks, whose family paid $22,000 for the space and catering, was suddenly left with no place to put the 250 people on her wedding list.
"I still feel guilty my parents lost all that money," said Banks, a 24-year-old teacher who found a new venue at the additional cost of having to change the date to a Friday from a Saturday this June. "I also feel guilty guests will have to take more time off from work to attend a Friday wedding."
The $60 billion-a-year U.S. wedding industry is contracting along with the rest of the economy, said Millie Martini Bratten, editor-in-chief of Conde Nasts Brides magazine in New York. Couples are scaling back on champagne and chocolate fountains, and business failures by florists and caterers are forcing changes in plans.
Love in the time of economic recession
"People dont time when they fall in love with the economic cycles," Martini Bratten said. "But when times are tight, we do see a pull-back in spending."
The average cost of tying the knot in the U.S. fell 24 percent last year from 2007, to $21,814, and slipped in the first quarter to $19,196, according to Wedding Report, a research firm.
The number of vows exchanged will probably drop this year because every economic contraction since 1945 has been followed by a decline in weddings, said Shane McMurray, the firms chief executive officer. He said there were 100,000 fewer in 2002 than 2001, when the U.S. was in a recession for eight months.
The economy has shed about 5.1 million jobs since December 2007, the most in a post-World War II slump, according to the Labor Department. The U.S. jobless rate is 8.5 percent, the highest since 1983.
Wedding industry unemployment cant be calculated because photographers, dress makers and others usually dont limit their work to one kind of event, McMurray said. "Ninety percent of wedding vendors are small businesses, so these folks are obviously struggling."
In Manhattan, couples are downsizing by opting for cocktail parties instead of sit-down dinners, said Amy Aversa, owner of Sweet Basil Catering in New York.
"Its definitely forcing caterers to get more creative," said Aversa, who estimates her average client is spending 30 percent less this year.
To trim the budget for a September reception, Aversa said shes using fewer fresh flowers in centerpieces and filling empty spaces with candles and photographs.
Shes also getting more requests for cupcakes rather than multilayered bridal cakes.
For Margarita Lambos in Charlotte, North Carolina, the cost of the shrinking economy was $6,200. Lambos paid cash in advance when she ordered a $4,000 Swarovski crystal-embellished Ines Di Santo gown for her walk down the aisle. Then the recession claimed another victim: the bridal boutique that had her money and her dress.
"Their bankruptcy almost ruined my wedding," said Lambos, a 26-year-old stay-at-home mother. After La Bella Sposa closed in June, Lambos said she contacted the designers Toronto studio and, parting with $2,200 more, was married in August in her "dream dress."
The bridal store couldnt survive a pullback in discretionary spending, said Rick Mitchell, the owners bankruptcy lawyer.
Searching for a second-choice wedding location
"People dont necessarily need an $8,000 wedding gown to get married," Mitchell said.
In Houston, after Tuscany of Garden Oaks closed and owner Titus filed for bankruptcy, Banks reserved her second-choice wedding location, Chateau Polonez. She said she thinks her situation "turned out on the better end" of the spectrum.
Minute Maid Park, home of baseballs Houston Astros, was the site of weddings for 33 other brides left without reception spaces by Titus, which also owned Bella Terraza, another venue that shut down.
The recession hadnt begun when Laura McCormick, a stay-at- home mother in Middle Township, New Jersey, posed for pictures with her wedding party in March 2007. McCormick, 28, said she paid Celebrations Studios $4,000 and still doesnt have a professional photograph of the event.
Company becomes unable to pay photographers
Celebration Studios was low on cash as business started to slow and couldnt pay photographers who took pictures around the time of the McCormick wedding, said Jeffrey Herrmann, Celebration Studios attorney. The company closed in January 2008.
Katharine Atkinson, a 29-year-old grant writer in Portland, Oregon, has mailed save-the-date cards for her August wedding at the Portland Classical Chinese Garden.
Because her father, a home-builder, hasnt made a sale in eight months and her mother and stepfather lost their jobs, she said, shes concerned about what shell be spending."It feels uncomfortable for me to be in a celebratory wedding mood," she said in an e-mail. "It didnt take long for the glow of being newly engaged to wear off."

O young Lochinvar is come out of the west,
Through all the wide Border his steed was the best;
And save his good broadsword he weapons had none,
He rode all unarm'd, and he rode all alone.
So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war,
There never was knight like the young Lochinvar.
He staid not for brake, and he stopp'd not for stone,
He swam the Eske river where ford there was none;
But ere he alighted at Netherby gate,
The bride had consented, the gallant came late:
For a laggard in love, and a dastard in war,
Was to wed the fair Ellen of brave Lochinvar.
So boldly he enter'd the Netherby Hall,
Among bride's-men, and kinsmen, and brothers and all:
Then spoke the bride's father, his hand on his sword,
(For the poor craven bridegroom said never a word,)
"O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war,
Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?"
"I long woo'd your daughter, my suit you denied; --
Love swells like the Solway, but ebbs like its tide --
And now I am come, with this lost love of mine,
To lead but one measure, drink one cup of wine.
There are maidens in Scotland more lovely by far,
That would gladly be bride to the young Lochinvar."
The bride kiss'd the goblet: the knight took it up,
He quaff'd off the wine, and he threw down the cup.
She look'd down to blush, and she look'd up to sigh,
With a smile on her lips and a tear in her eye.
He took her soft hand, ere her mother could bar, --
"Now tread we a measure!" said young Lochinvar.
So stately his form, and so lovely her face,
That never a hall such a gailiard did grace;
While her mother did fret, and her father did fume
And the bridegroom stood dangling his bonnet and plume;
And the bride-maidens whisper'd, "'twere better by far
To have match'd our fair cousin with young Lochinvar."
One touch to her hand, and one word in her ear,
When they reach'd the hall-door, and the charger stood near;
So light to the croupe the fair lady he swung,
So light to the saddle before her he sprung!
"She is won! we are gone, over bank, bush, and scaur;
They'll have fleet steeds that follow," quoth young
Lochinvar.
There was mounting 'mong Graemes of the Netherby clan;
Forsters, Fenwicks, and Musgraves, they rode and they ran:
There was racing and chasing on Cannobie Lee,
But the lost bride of Netherby ne'er did they see.
So daring in love, and so dauntless in war,
Have ye e'er heard of gallant like young Lochinvar?

Lovely Peonies

We're having a beautiful, sunny day here in North Carolina. It's got me thinking about spring and the lovely blooms that are on their way. Peonies are one of my favorite spring flowers and are extremely popular for weddings. I've gathered some pictures of this beautiful botanical and ways that it can be used in your wedding...
