The father of the bride plays a special role – both on your wedding day and in your life – so with Father’s Day approaching, this seemed like the perfect time to give you a few gift ideas suited for Dad. You can use these ideas on Sunday or hold onto them for a special gift before the wedding.
- Dad loves golf, and you love Dad, but this year go beyond the kitschy club covers and get him a set of balls and a date to hit the driving range together. You’ll be spending quality time and burning a few calories, too. Feel free to carry this idea over to tennis, bowling, kayaking – any activity your pops enjoys.
- A special tie is the quintessential gift for Dad, but selecting a tie especially for him to wear at the wedding is a beautiful gift. Check out some of these unique ties suited for a great guy.More... Add new comment

I’ve started running again, which is something I don’t tremendously enjoy, but I do love the people in my running group, and I certainly like getting all that cardio in. Because running doesn’t come naturally to me and isn’t one of my favorite exercises, I like to distract myself while I do it. The other day I was running around the track with the women in my group, and as each one passed I would notice and say something encouraging. “Good job! You’re almost there! One more lap!” It made me feel good to cheer them on and looking at the progress my compatriots were making was an encouragement to myself as well.
As I was thinking about how great it felt to cheer on others, I thought about how off the track, I have a few friends who are getting married who I’ve been encouraging as well. I remembered how as a bride my own self, I had people encouraging me and giving advice (some more helpful than others, certainly), but that I had a hard time keeping myself going with my own positive encouragement.
My proudest Healthy Bride Moment Yet!

Tonight was amazing!! It all started with Erin’s early arrival. She asked me if it was ok to end the class a few mintues early so that everyone could get to their end-of-session party. I made sure eveyone was invited and wholeheartedly agreed. It makes me feel so good that the group has bonded to the point that they go out together after class. What Erin also told me was that when Kjell found out that Karin (whos wedding in one week away) had not had a bachelorette party, she turned the casual get together into Karin’s Bachelorette party!
We had our usual last workout of the session, with two of the brides finishing up their fitness tests and then we headed out to run stairs. We finished the workout earlier than usual and per plan, were back to the studio at 7:45pm. When we arrived back, I asked for a few minutes to give out my graduation wishes to the 4 women leaving the program and then handed the “floor?? over to Kjell who pulled out the “activities sheet?? for the night.
