Brides by Zodiac Sign

Posted in horoscope at 8:21 pm by Administrator

Aries
Being a bride is like being the CEO of your own company, the perfect Aries role. You get to lead the pack, focus on the details you like and delegate those that you don’t, all while being surrounded by a gaggle of admirers. What could be better? As the perfect project, your wedding will be one for the record books, with everything reflecting your personality just so, and the right amount of drama, fun, glitz and glam. Even when it’s over, it’s not over — you are such a great storyteller, you’ll be reliving it for a lifetime!

Taurus
Taureans love being surrounded by beautiful things. As a bride you lean toward tradition — the white gown with the train, the large bouquet of roses, the three-tier wedding cake topped with a bride and groom. You’re not one to easily embrace change and are most at home with the trappings of the classic wedding. Taurus girls love to collect things. From preserving your flowers to keeping a satin box with hundreds of photos, you’ll want mementos of your wedding close at hand to enjoy for years to come.

Gemini
Being a bride gives you lots of opportunities to do everything you love — hanging out with your friends, partying, shopping, chatting, laughing; you’re in for the time of your life. Geminis are so in the know. Reading, watching, listening — you totally immerse yourself in all things bridal. From watching every wedding show to reading every bridal magazine, your Gemini mind just doesn’t rest. Gemini bride, all this reading, writing, chatting and organizing is time well spent — not only will you have a most unforgettable wedding, but after it’s all over, newly engaged women everywhere will be asking your advice for years to come.

Cancer
As a bride, you will have lots of opportunities to connect with your closest friends and share your innermost thoughts and feelings. You’re excited about dress shopping with your mom, having lunch at potential reception sites with your groom and poring over bridal mags with your maid of honor. Cancer brides think with their heart. You want an intimate affair that you can share with everyone near and dear to you. With a large bridal party and as many little ringbearers and flower girls as you can find, love truly rules your special day.

Leo:
Leo is the royalty of the zodiac. You absolutely must have an event that befits your royal place in the stars. Programmed to like nice things, you naturally gravitate toward the priciest, most top-of-the-line items. It’s very hard for you to even think about compromising, because your ideals and your integrity are big priorities. If you’re put in a tough spot, you might have a downright temper tantrum, although those limitations can bring out your ingenuity (How can I create this look within a budget, or this space, or this time frame?). You’re always up for a good bridal challenge.

Virgo:
No one brings a more thorough approach to planning a wedding than a Virgo. There is no role that is more suited to your natural gifts and talents than that of bride and wedding planner. Hardworking and detail-oriented, you have no desire to palm off little jobs on your parents or your bridal party so that you can feel like queen for the day. Just remember to stop organizing and analyzing for a few moments so you feel all the love your friends, family and fiancé have for you!

Libra
Born under the sign of beauty and partnership, Libra girls are the natural brides of the zodiac. While other signs enjoy their independence, going it alone is unappealing to the scales. You are keenly aware that relationships enhance who you are. Of all the signs, you most enjoy working in cooperation with others. You have a natural understanding of your fiancé’s needs and your parents’ wishes as much as your own, and you will look to them to share in the experience. From the invitations to honeymoon, it simply would be no fun without their love and approval.

Scorpio
Passionate, romantic, and deeply loving, Scorpio is the most intense sign of the zodiac. With a strong will and focused drive, you do nothing halfway. You will tackle the role of bride like you are taking on the biggest project of your life, using all the powers at your disposal to create a wedding unlike anyone has ever seen. Generous, romantic Scorpio, this is your most powerful transformation to date: tapping into all of the forces of nature to create a wedding that has special meaning for you and your beloved.

Sagittarius
You enjoy getting to know people from all walks of life; how they think and feel, what motivates them as they live their lives. Having such an expansive view of the world and an innate understanding of humankind makes you a very eclectic bride. You’re not one to get caught up in the glitz and glam of the day. You love to have fun and you want a celebration, but you’ll never lose sight of the fact that it’s one day and that your marriage is the adventure of a lifetime.

Capricorn
Capricorn, you were put on this planet to accomplish big things. You love to set goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to get them accomplished. As a bride this drive will serve you well. Once you decide how you want your big day to look, you will stop at nothing to make that vision a reality. Whether that means turning over every rock to find the exact dress you want (at the perfect price) or spending extra hours at the office to pull in more cash, you will have the wedding of your dreams.

Aquarius
Aquarians are fun-loving and forward-thinking people who pride themselves on their individuality. Always pushing the envelope through new ideas and bold moves, you are the first to embrace new concepts in weddings. From the vows to the video, every aspect of your big day will be a new twist on an old tradition. You value your community just as much as you do your independence; having like-minded people around is vital to your happiness. You take an adventurous attitude in your role as bride, looking at every day as an opportunity to discover new things, meet new people and express your creativity.

Pisces
Planning a wedding can be a wonderful and torturous experience for a Pisces. Envisioning all the possibilities is a joy, but having to constantly make firm decisions is not always easy for the Fish. With a poetic grace, you’ll create an event where everyone will feel the presence of something otherworldly. Your ceremony will reflect the deep spiritual love that Pisces live for; your reception, every little girl’s dream come true. And in the center of all this energy will be you and your fiancé, reaching into the unknown together as bride and groom and entering the most mystical journey, the one as husband and wife.

Grooms by Zodiac Signs

Posted in horoscope at 8:20 pm by Administrator

Aries
The Ram is in love with love. Passionate, independent and spicy, he’s up for creating a unique wedding from start to finish. Just don’t ask him to do any of the boring busywork — and never give him orders. Instead, suggest creative ideas and work together. You should also let him have an occasional outburst — it’s his way of de-stressing.

Taurus
The Bull is a loving traditional groom. Tender, affectionate and stubborn, this guy will support your plans as long as he’s comfortable with them. His biggest need is to feel secure, so make sure you don’t drop anything in his lap or make last-minute quickie decisions — he needs time to process changes and emotions.

Gemini
The Twin groom is a fun, easygoing guy. He won’t go for the standard stuff, so add some eclectic readings, write your own vows, choose the music together. Other than that, do what you want; just chat with him about everything along the way. He might be a bit spacey the day of the wedding, so don’t give him any major tasks to remember!

Cancer
The Crab is emotionally supportive. He loves to be there, holding your hand through the ups and downs and making decisions together. The key to his heart? Always make it safe for him to share his feelings. If he’s feeling insecure, he may run and hide. He doesn’t like to take risks, so stick with tradition where possible.

Leo
The lordly Lion is a generous, outgoing and headstrong groom. He’s up for every party, loves being the center of attention and treats you like his queen all night long. With dramatic displays of affection, he just oozes romance. He can become quite offended when he feels slighted, so make sure everyone recognizes his importance as groom.

Virgo
This sign, named for the virgin harvest, loves to work for you. He feels like it’s his job to make sure you have the most perfect wedding of your dreams — and he might actually do more work than you! His big issue is that he can get overly critical and see imperfections where there are none. Get him to relax and it’ll all be wonderful!

Libra
The sign of the scales makes a gracious and elegant groom. For him, the most important aspect of the wedding is how it looks. He’ll only be happy with a classic, beautiful affair, with all the elements aesthetically pleasing. Now, getting him emotionally present might take a miracle; he’ll be too busy focusing on what everything looks like.

Scorpio
The Scorpion is a protective and private groom. The idea of having a big wedding may freak him out, especially because his job is making sure you’re feeling safe all the time. He’ll need his alone time when you’re off with your mom visiting florists. Give him his space; if he’s feeling squeezed he may sting.

Sagittarius
The Archer is an easygoing, social and outdoorsy guy. He needs the wedding to be fun and exciting, so as long as you add lots of spectacular ingredients, he’ll be up for just about anything you plan. Don’t make him wear anything too restrictive and don’t make the ceremony too long, because he gets antsy very quickly.

Capricorn
The Goat is an ambitious, hardworking groom. And how much work he’ll do for the wedding depends upon how much outside responsibility he’s got on his plate. He may just be happy having you do all the work and then having veto power in the end. Note that if he feels like it’s not going as planned, he can get controlling over every little thing.

Aquarius
The Water Bearer is a groom who loves his community. He doesn’t care about most of the details; what your guy wants is every chance to include his friends and family in this big tribal wedding. He’s difficult to handle only when he feels misunderstood — then he might just want to prove his point at all costs!

Pisces
The Fish is a sensitive, expressive and romantic groom. He will share in the planning as much as you want, doting on his bride-to-be with hugs and kisses when things get tough. He needs his thoughts and feelings to be validated in return. If he feels unheard, he’ll either go off and sulk or lash out in pain — or both.
