Wedding makeup/readings/poems

[lulu_bucket]

My foundation lasts about an hour - does anyone know any really good makeup that stays on and lipstick etc so I dont look bare faced after an hour at my wedding? Also any ideas on poems/readings/songs for civil weddings ? Thanks.

i have worn Estee Lauder Double wear foundation for years and wore it on my wedding day and it stayed well put but doesn't look like you have make up on. i've used it probably for about 10 years now and never wanted to change. Re lipstick - i never find that it lasts that long anyway! but again, i think you get what you pay for and i use estee lauder or lancome - i wore a lancome lippy on my wedding day. apply, blot, then apply again.

re your readings - we were given a large selection by the registrar to choose from but a relative of ours read something that they'd found in a church - think it was something to do with captain corelli's mandelin....love is a temporary madness...think it had been adapted slightly.

what music are you meaning? to walk down the isle to or...?

One of ours songs at our wedding was 'All I Have' by Beth Neilson Chapman

I wear the double wear foundation too and it stays on all day long and like Lorrymac says, doesn't look like you're caked with make up. Regarding the lipstick, if you go for Max Factor Lipfinity, this stuff really does stay on all day. You have the colour on one end and a glass thing at the other end. Pack some baby oil though as that's the only thing that takes it off.

I'm sorry, can't give you any ideas for the rest of your question.

know noting about make up
I read the leo marks poem to my husband as it was short enough to remember, non religious and above all beautiful


The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours

The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.

A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.

Hi Lulu, Estee Lauder was what I was going to suggest and then realised that others have also suggested it! The double wear is very very good, giving good coverage without looking too heavy. It stays in place until you wash it off, in fact Estee Lauder have bought out a make up remover specially designed to take it off! I have used Double Wear for years and have yet to find another that is as good. Re lipstick, I have found that the cheaper makes are just as good as the more expensive ones, I wore Rimmel for years and found it lasted very well. You can buy some products designed to make your lipstick last for longer, I would just try these on top of your favourite colour. All the best, I am sure you will have a day to remember!!

My son had the following two readings at his wedding last summer and I thought they were beautiful. They will probably go into another post.
MY LOVE

When I met you, I had no idea how much my life was about to be changed...... but then, how could I have known?
A love like ours happens once in a lifetime.
You were a miracle to me.
The one who was everything I had ever dreamed of, the
one i thought existed only in my imagination.
And when you came into my life, I realized that what I had
always thought was happiness couldn't compare to the joy loving you brought me.
You are a part of everything I think and do and feel and with you by my side, I believe anything is possible.
This day gives me a chance to thank you for the miracle of you......you are, and always will be, the love of my life.
