Create a winning wedding reception seating plan
Planning a successful wedding is a multi-layered undertaking that often stretches across many months. There are dozens of decisions to make and often thousands of dollars involved in what culminates in one day of celebration.

In fact, the wedding resource Table Top Planner identifies arranging seating plans as the most stressful part of planning a wedding.

How to remember and honor loved ones at a wedding
A wedding is a happy day in a couple’s life together. Couples who have lost loved ones in recent years, whether it’s parents, grandparents, close friends, or siblings, may find their happiness mixing with feelings of loss. It can be challenging to fully celebrate in the absence of a beloved loved one who was supposed to be there joining in the happiness.
“And it was a Samaritan who showed him mercy”
Luke 10:25-37: “The Good Samaritan.” Even people with no connection to church, Scripture, or faith know the phrase. It’s carved into our language like a proverb, used to describe anyone who helps a stranger in need. We see it everywhere: in stained glass and sculpture, in hospital names and humanitarian awards, even etched into coins. But if we reduce it to a feel-good message—“just be nice and help people”—we miss the heart of it. To feel the full weight of what Jesus is doing in this story, we have to ask: who were the Samaritans? And why would Jesus make one of them the hero? The answer just might set us free. By the time of Jesus, Samaritans and Jews had been divided for centuries. Though they shared ancient roots, Samaritans were seen as heretics—reviled for worshiping on Mount Gerizim and reading a different version of the Torah. The hatred ran both ways, long and bitter.
