We have some ideas for some fun, untraditional or nontraditional wedding photos.  weddings are fun. Let your personalities fly on the big day. The Wedding pictures are what you can look back on.

Here are a few ideas:

• Take the wedding party to a playground and climb all over the jungle gym.
• Have everybody jump on the count of three and have the picture snapped while everyone is either in the air or making funny faces.
• Have candid photos taken while your wedding party is just hanging out or walking around.
• Keep an eye on the flower girl and ring bearer for quote pictures.
• Have the bride “dip” the husband.
• Drive around a town and look for cool photo opts like old buildings, police station, or parks.
• Pictures by the water are great as well. standing on the dock looking to the water.

These are just a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Remember to have fun.  Please feel free to add more tips in the comments.  We are already married but we sure love to take fun pictures.

Guys, Make sure you really emphasize on the manly side of men when it comes to ministering to them.  It seems like men are being feminized in churches today.  Men need manly Ministry.  Go out and shoot some targets with guns. Have a grilling get together.  Go mudding with trucks or four wheelers.

Guys need to spend time with other guys. It opens up our hard, shielded souls to talk about manly issues.  We need to hear how other guys struggle with the same things.  We need to get advice about how to handle an issue at home with the wife or kids.

Have a bible study out in the woods where it is peaceful.  Get out of the house and get away from the bustle of life to talk about manly things.  I love hanging out with my friends.  A cup of coffee to discuss issues fits me just right.

Ask the guys in your group to give you some good suggestions for events to do. this will go along ways to developing a manly fellowship time.  Men need to talk and we tend to keep it all inside.  Hanging out with each other will help kinder this spirit of openness and allow us to talk about things that seem weak for men.

go ahead and try some of these tips and ideas.  I realize that there is no rhyme or reason to this post.  It is something that has been on my mind for quite sometime and I just let it flow.

Please leave some comments on what you think or what you do for Manly Ministry events.

Wow is this a crazy question to ask.  Some people ask newly weds for 2 years if they are expecting yet. Having your first child can be crazy and awesome at the same time. People say that it changes your life. Having kids is a huge responsibility.

We are ready to go down this road to “Kiddom.”  Knowing that both of you are truly ready for the challeneg and commitment is what is important. Having a child will be amazing in an of itself.

The miracle of God’s work is amazing. Hearing your wife say that she can feel the baby is the best feeling in the world. Knowing that there is life inside of her makes you happy.  Some women get really sick in the first trimester. Be ready for that. they can get moody and us guys won’t know what the deal is.  I will be visiting this topic in repeatedly coming up soon.

In the mean time, check these funny “Thinking of Having kids?” lessons. I laughed!
