Avoiding Body Odor on Your Big Day

For some of us avoiding body odor on your big day is a major issue. We fear, for instance, that it will come upon us in the receiving line as we lift our arms to hug each guest or ruin the romance of a first dance.

Seven years ago, as a bride myself, I was reading thru a bridal magazine and came across a "quick tip" that mentioned using Neosporin® in your armpits the night before your wedding. The reason being it contains "Bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin B are antibiotics that kill bacteria on your skin". Bacteria is the cause for "body odor." I have used this tip a lot over the past seven years. But it came through in a different way recently and thought I would share.

Recently I was getting ready for an event and as usual my two little boys were distracting me in the process, after grandma arrived to watch them and I rushed out the door. I was on the road when I realized I had forgotten to apply deodorant! That is huge for me, but I couldn't turn around and go back and I didn't have time to stop at the store. Then I remembered putting my tube of "Bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin B" in my purse. I dug around frantically and there it was. I applied it and then hoped for the best. Sure enough, by the end of the evening it was as if I had put on deodorant. Amazing!

Shannon and Peter

Recently we were privileged to be a part of the wedding of Shannon and Peter.

They had their nuptuals and reception at Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, WA. Kiana Lodge is a beautiful location to have a summer wedding. It's natural beauty lends itself to less need to decorate the spaces available.

The following pictures were taken by the brides uncle, wedding photographer Bruce Miller (http://www.winecountryphotoart.com/).

Shannon and Peter included Shannon's son in the ceremony, which was a very touching moment for all.

The ceremony was officiated by Reverend Fred Fowler- who is a very laid back officiant, yet respectful of the couple's wants. Fred is in the background behind the bride. (http://bestchoice.weddingministers.com/)

The floral design was done by Bella Signature Design ( http://www.bellasignature.com/index.php)







The aisle pedestals were moved to the dinning room and made for stunning center pieces.

Before the ceremony, during and while the couple was taking pictures we were serenaded by a quartet. (http://www.seattlestringquartet.com/seattle_harp_quartet.htm)

Kiana Lodge has a wonderful, helpful staff as well as very delicous food. (http://kianalodge.com/)









Jen's Desserts supplied the tasty cake that had hydrangea's made from sugar cascading down, with blackberries and butterflies intermittently. (http://www.jensdesserts.com/)

Dancing ensued at the Lodge, thanks to Brett of Master Mind Productions (360-876-2238)

The "Chicken Dance" in honor of Peter's mom.


The romantic groom hired a yacht to take his wife and he off to their next destination.






They were met at the dock by Skipper Jason and his wife.

And off to their happy ending!
