"Unpack Your Adjectives!"



Ok - I am surely dating myself, but for those of you of a 'certain age' who grew up in the 70's, I bet you can recall on demand every word and tune from "Schoolhouse Rock." So many classics - from "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here" to "Conjunction Junction" - brings back so many memories!

Where am I am going with this and what in the world does it have to do with weddings? Well, today over on WeddingBee there is a post about a DJ who in the initial meeting/interview asks his clients to sum up in *3 Adjectives* what they want their wedding reception to be.

Simply. Brilliant.

I encourage you all to start asking your brides and grooms to "Unpack Their Adjectives" and share their *3 Adjectives* with you as it relates to your role in their wedding or honeymoon. [I imbedded the original clip from YouTube in the post below to refresh your memory!]

What fantastic insight this will give you into your couples - no matter the stage you are in the process - whether trying to close the sale or mid-way through the planning as a 'check in' to see if you are all on the same page with what the final event will look and feel like.

Take it one step further and go through the exercise yourself for your own business...what are the *3 Adjectives* that best describe you/your brand/what you stand for/what you offer that is unique and post it in a place that you see it often.

Kathryn and I will do this and I promise to post back with what our *3 Adjectives* are for Engaging Concepts...and feel free to share yours with us in comments!

Now - back to the Schoolhouse Rock site - I am digging the walk down memory lane and revisting my friend "Bill" up on Capitol Hill!!! LOL!

I love School House Rock!!! Program shorts like that always stick with you!

I recents did this for my company and came up with Modern, Elegant and Creative.

I think it's a great idea for brides and grooms to determine the feel they want for their wedding!

Hi Rebecca,

This is so funny. I also work in the wedding industry in the SF Bay Area in California and just did a Google search on "Lolly Lolly Adverbs" and found your blog. Why was I Googling "Lolly?" Because at my own wedding last year we did something very silly and fun, my hubby had the novel idea of choosing special songs for when our mothers walked down the aisle. My name is Stacie, so my mom, much to my shock, agreed to walk down the aisle to the song "Stacy's Mom Has Got It Going On" and my hubby's step mom's name is Lolly, so she walked down the aisle to "Lolly Lolly Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here." LOL.

I did not expect to end up on a wedding professionals blog when I started the search for an image this morning, but LOVE the suggestion you've made about the three adjectives and will certainly begin using it myself as I email with and talk to clients this year.

I also wanted to offer to add your blog to a website I started last year called "Best Wedding Blogs.com." It's a courtesy site I put together for two reasons. One is to encourage more people in the industry to take up blogging, the other to help brides who want to get to know professionals through their blogs, find them more easily. Just drop me an email if you'd like to be added :o)

Hello

I am new to this place. Loads of people have contributed so many good things here. Please accept my little contribution towards community. I would like to share some [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips]quick weight loss tips[/url]. If you need to know how to lose 10 lb in a week, you are likely not looking for a general diet and workout plan. You can lose weight with a general diet and work out plan, However this demands a lot of time doing intensive cardio works out and sticking with a strict diet. Here I will draft the right steps that I took to lose 10 pounds in just a calendar week.

1. Keep Distance from all deep-fried nutrients for the week
2. Drink an 8oz glass of grapefruit with breakfast every day. (this speeds up your metabolism)
3. Eat Up fair portions (stop consuming when you are full)
4. Instead of consuming 3 big a meals a day, eat 5-6 small meals to keep your metabolism up and keep your body burning fat.
5. Do not eat anything after 9pm. Calories do not burn, when you eat so late.
6. Have a proper sleep everyday. Not having adequate sleep causes been proven to be a ranking factor to the body putting up excess fat.
7. Utilize a body/colon clean for the 7 days. This will get rid of needless weight stored around the tummy area as well as cleanse your body of harmfull pollutants that cause you store fat and feel tired. Flush away excess pounds around the stomach area that otherwise would be hard to lose.
8. I suggest you using Acai Berry Diet Pills. This one is proven to work, and you can get a free trial.
9. For those mens/womens who desire to burn fat quickly, avoid alcoholic drink.
10[url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips].[/url] A low GI diet is an superior method of burning fat quickly.

Thanks![url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com].[/url]!

Long time lurker, thought I would say hello! I really dont post much but thanks for the good times I have here. Love this place..

When I was hurt in that motorcar accident my life would be changed for good. Unfortunately that driver had no car insurance and I was going to be hurting for ever.

This was not time for me to start and guess what to do. I had to find a good personal injury lawyer to help me get what I needed. After all, my family was counting on me.

How terrible was it? I has bedridden for 8 months, I had to have constant care and my medical bills went through the roof!

Thank goodness, I found a good referral site to help me.

I will post more later this year to tell you more about what I have been going through.

If you need an personal injury lawyer try the guys at http://theaccidentlawyers.org

Hello everybody,

What online mags do you read and would recommend?

For all you rockabilly folks out there I recommend The Enough Fanzine. It is one of the first ska zines on the internet.

They have throusands of reviews from the most underground bands all over the world. Check them out online: [url=http://www.enoughfanzine.com]Enough Fanzine[/url]. Best of it all, they are 100% non-profit and just helping the scene!

Looking forward to your recommendations.

Cheers!
