I saw this this fun and very creative, stop motion, Lego marriage proposal video and had to share it with you. It was obviously a labor of love to produce, taking about 2,600 individual snap-shots to bring to life.
What do you think? Pretty cool, huh? Share your comments.
Ron Ruth Wedding Entertainment, a Kansas City based, wedding DJ company, has been honored with the WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Award for the third, consecutive year.
In a recent interview, owner Ron Ruth said, “I’m thrilled that Ron Ruth Wedding Entertainment has been selected to receive the Bride’s Choice Award for 2012 in the category of Kansas City wedding DJ entertainment. My greatest appreciation goes to the couples who turned to us to help them create unforgettably fun, Kansas City wedding receptions. They are directly responsible for our receiving this honor. I am humbled by the trust they placed in Ron Ruth Wedding Entertainment to serve as their creative partner.”
“I’m extremely grateful,” Mr. Ruth added, “that those relationships prompted so many positive reviews on WeddingWire.com and the Newlywed Review page of the Ron Ruth Wedding Entertainment website. To those Brides & Grooms, thank you so much for inviting us to assist you. Thank you, as well, to WeddingWire for distinguishing Ron Ruth Wedding Entertainment with the 2012 Bride’s Choice Award. “
From the WeddingWire Press Release: The WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Awards ™ recognizes the top local wedding professionals from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellence in quality, service, responsiveness and professionalism. Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the organization, the WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Awards™ are awarded solely based on the reviews from over 1.2 million newlyweds. Awards are determined by a combination of four factors: Overall rating (quality), total number of reviews (quantity), review performance from 2011 (recentcy), and consistency of reviews from year to year (consistency). This year’s recipients represent the top 5% of WeddingWire’s vendor community, across all service categories and all regions throughout the US and Canada.

We’re a week or so into the New Year and I stumbled onto this great blog post, “Resolutions For The Newly Engaged,” on Huffington Post Weddings.
Although all of the resolutions are great words of advice for Kansas City wedding couples planning their wedding reception, I took special note of Resolution #9, “Resolve To Celebrate Who You Both Are.”
The author’s words, “This doesn’t need to conflict with resolving to compromise, but listen, you only do this once….If you are quirky, don’t be afraid to be quirky. If you are formal, be formal. Celebrate Culture, Celebrate Faith, Celebrate the things that made you love one another” are elements I encourage in the couples I work with.
There are no rules when it comes to how you celebrate your happiness. Don’t let anyone or any trend hold you back from being who you are or from celebrating your wedding reception in your way.
I also love Resolution #10, Remember, personal is not generic and inspiring doesn’t mean replicating.
As the author states “Somewhere, personalizing a wedding (making it seem reflective of your personalities and unique to the two of you) got confused with slapping a monogram on anything that was imprintable and replicating every cute idea seen around the blogosphere. Use blogs to inspire, but try, really try to make it personal.”
The creative process knows no bounds. From out of the ordinary wedding attire, to fun little surprises that engage your guests and special, memorable, picture perfect moments that frame your amazing love for one another, your limitless imagination is your greatest tool for making your wedding so very personal.
Need a little help finding your imaginative spirit? Attend “The MAGIC Behind An Extraordinary Wedding Celebration!” In this fun and informative, 90 minute workshop, you’ll get the ideas and advice you need to create an unforgettably fun, Kansas City wedding reception.

Happy Holidays!
Of my many responsibilities as a Kansas City Wedding DJ and Wedding Entertainment Director™, one is to assure that the pre-reception planning, an essential element of the creative process, addresses the timing and execution of every moment of the event. ”No surprises!“ is an important promise made to ensure the Bride & Groom’s happiness.
But, according to The Huffington Post (HuffPost), some couples may encounter unanticipated and uncomfortable conversations with a very small number of friends and family members who disagree with the way the Bride & Groom have planned their day…way before the big day has arrived. To keep those surprise occurrences from driving an unsuspecting couple crazy, therapist and HuffPost Weddings Etiquette & Advice contributor, Emily V. Gordon, offers advice that may be of value.
Ms. Gordon writes, “A lot of engaged couples find that instead of creating an event that will be important to them, they’re dodging through a minefield of modern etiquette traps.” She adds, “It’s hard to know how to handle a life event with so many expectations, so as a therapist, rather than an etiquette expert, let me present you with some of the most common reasons that your wedding will offend those around you, and what to do about it. “
Emily Gordon’s article, “The Most Popular Offenses in Wedding Planning, and How to Deal With Them,” explores five areas where a soon-to-be Bride & Grooms wedding plans could potentially offend guests and offers practical, polite solutions to each. They include:
To consider Emily Gordon’s insight as to the best way to handle adverse reactions to any of the five offenses. Click “The Most Popular Offenses in Wedding Planning, and How to Deal With Them” to read the article in its entirety.
Granted, not every guest will take offense to any wedding day decision. As Ms. Gordon points out, most family & friends would consider it rude to question a Bride & Groom’s choices. But, if the need arises to handle a criticism or grievance, it is always wise to be well prepared and know how to delicately respond.
What do you think? Your thoughts & comments are always welcome.
I’ve shared a number of videos containing surprise marriage proposals from the fun to the extreme. But, there are also proposals of marriage that convey a love and passion that obviously comes straight from the heart.
Lindy Gonzalez planned a welcoming party as a surprise for her boyfriend, U.S. Army Specialist Michael Smith on his return from duty in Afghanistan on Friday evening, December 9, 2011. What she didn’t know was that the entire welcoming party was also in on a surprise that had been planned by Smith…to ask Lindy to be his Bride.
When his delayed flight finally arrived in Miami, Smith stepped off the plane and immediately got down on one knee and presented Ms. Gonzales with an engagement ring.
“Will you marry me?” he asked his stunned girlfriend, who needed a minute to fully comprehend exactly what was happening.
“Yes!” she replied as cheers came from passengers, airline employees and the friends and family who were in on the surprise marriage proposal looked on.
Smith, of course, didn’t mind that TV cameras were also capturing the special moment. The couple, who live in Oregon, were meeting up in South Florida so Smith could meet her family.
As always, your thoughts and comments are welcome!
