I wanted to share a few Chinese proverbs I came across that easily apply -- not necessarily to the wedding day (since nobody plans to channel their inner bridezilla/groomzilla on that special day) -- but maybe instead to, say, the stressful pre-wedding planning months and, more importantly, the marriage...

Let the politeness of first acquaintance characterize all future meetings, then in the longest of friendships nothing disagreeable will arise.

To praise someone every day adds to their happiness and long life.

Do not forget little kindness, and do not remember small faults.

Wise thoughts to ponder from Guy A. Zona's wonderful little compilation 'If You Have Two Loaves of Bread, Sell One and Buy a Lily.' Hope you enjoyed them!

Trying to think of a great idea for your personalized favors?... Maybe it would be fun to somehow infuse little messages of Eastern wisdom into your destination OBX beach theme wedding, minus the fortune cookie, though, I'd guess!?
