March 1st may be the day that themajority of tax refunds will be receivedby taxpayers in 2017. The question isWHY?
The answer is IDENTITY FRAUD.Tax Identity Fraud has become moreand more of an issue for the IRS inrecent years. In fact, the IRS statesthat they received over 490,000 taxfraud complaints in 2015 alone! Inreaction to this ever-growing problem,
the IRS has decided to freeze allrefunds for those that claim the following 2 tax credits and will notrelease them until February 15th,2017 even if you file in January:
#1 – Earned Income Credit
#2 – Additional Child Tax Credit
The IRS feels this will give them moretime to match W2ʼs that are being sent
to them earlier this year to the actualperson instead of just processingwhatever is filed. They are in highhopes that this delay in processingcertain types of returns will reduce theamount of fraudulent refunds goingout to the wrong people.
What does this mean for you? Well, ifyou do not file either of the abovecredits on your tax return then youhave no worries, the IRS will process
your return as normal which is usuallyabout 1-2 weeks after acceptance.This means your refund could be in bythe end of January if you file when E-file officially opens. However, forthose that do need to file these credits, the IRS will not process yourreturn until February 15th. Thismeans that if you file in January, youmay not see your refund until March1st or LATER!_____________________________
“If you file in January, youmay not see your refund untilMarch 1st or LATER!”_____________________________In these difficult economic times, themajority of families in and around ourlocal area are struggling to make endsmeet.

“For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid thatshall not be known. There-fore whatsoever ye havespoken in darkness shall be
heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.”(Luke 12:2-3)
As a pastor and counselor for nearly 40 years, I am continuallyamazed at some people who seem to believe one of two things inregard to sin. The first thing is that they can keep it a secret andthe second is that they can escape its consequences. This seemsespecially true among men. I recall a Wall Street Journal articleabout people who “pocket dialed” their phones (accidentally makecalls unawares). One man was engaged in a very graphic, sexualconversation with his buddies when he accidentally dialed hismother, who overheard the whole thing. Another man accidentallycalled his wife while he was involved with another woman! Talkabout being busted!In the passage above, the Lord Jesus Christ warns that eventuallyeverything comes out, either here or in eternity. If you think youʼretoo clever to be found out or think you will not reap the consequences, better consider that God says, ʻBe not deceived;God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he alsoreap.” (Galatians 6:7) Those who think their secret is safe, betterthink again.

Weddings are special moments for
couples and the guests they invite to
share their happiness on their big days.
Beautiful weddings require substantial
planning, as every last detail must be
considered for couples to enjoy the wed-
ding of their dreams.
Flowers play a big role in many
weddings, and couples can add beauty
and ambiance to the event by using flo-
ral arrangements in various ways.
Modern floral arrangements are stun-
ning, and many couples may not know
that herbs, spices and flowers have
been used in weddings for centuries.
Today, flowers are used to decorate
wedding venues, impart sweet fra-
grances and complement formal attire,
but in ancient times they were used dif-
ferently. Flowers were used to bestow
good luck on the couple and keep bad
omens away. Brides carried aromatic
flowers and spices to keep evil spirits
from spoiling the festivities, and some
even tucked bulbs of garlic into their
bouquets. In ancient Greece and Rome,
both the bride and groom wore garlands
made out of strong-smelling herbs flow-
ers around their necks or heads. These
wreaths were considered gifts of nature,
and thus extremely appropriate for a
wedding. Traditionally, bridesmaids
would be responsible for fashioning
these floral components. In ancient
Sweden, young girls would carry small
bouquets of fragrant herbs down the
aisle and the groom would put thyme in
his pocket. These aromatics were
thought to help keep trolls at bay.
Besides warding off spirits or hungry
trolls, flowers also served more practical
purposes throughout history. During the
Middle Ages, people bathed less fre-
quently than they do today. Bathing
might only have occurred twice a year,
once during summer and then again at
Christmastime. Because many weddings
took place in the spring, flowers were
used to mask bodily odors. Not only
were flowers and herbs carried, but they
also would be sewn into clothing.
Modern brides and grooms may no
longer see their wedding days as times
for opportunistic evil spirits. But that
doesn’t mean that couples cannot bor-
row from ancient traditions and incorpo-
rate flowers into their weddings in vari-
ous ways.
• Wreaths and garlands: Ask the
florist to weave small f lower buds,
berries and vines to a headband, wreath
or piece of twine so that the bride and
groom can wear these flowers in the
way they were worn by ancient Greeks
and Romans. When coupled with
Grecian-styled wedding gowns, brides
can look like beautiful goddesses on
their wedding days.
• Fragrant favors: Tuck dried rose
petals and other fragrant flowers into
sachets that are embroidered with the
wedding date and couple’s names.
Guests can use these sachets to keep
clothings smelling fresh in drawers or as
subtle air fresheners around the house.
• Edible flowers: Ask the caterer to
make meals flower-friendly by including
some edible blooms in the salad or as a
garnish on meals.
• Raining petals: In lieu of bubbles
or birdseed, guests can shower the new-
lyweds with rose petals after the cere-
mony.
• Memorial: Some couples like to
honor departed family members. Floral
arrangements with small placards can
make for fitting memorials.

Weddings are momentous events
for the couple tying the knot as well as
all of the friends and family invited to
share in the big day.
Before couples can tie the knot and
cut a rug at their receptions, everyone,
couple and guests included, must arrive
at the location (or locations if the cere-
mony site differs from the reception
area). Though arranging wedding day
transportation can be difficult, there are
ways to make the process go more
smoothly for guests and bridal party
members.
Determine your needs
Before a transportation plan can be
made, couples must first map out their
needs. Everything should be built
around the ceremony. Once the ceremo-
ny time has been set, the rest of the day
can be arranged around that time.
Determine how much time is need-
ed to travel from the ceremony to the
reception area. Allocate enough time
before the cocktail hour to allow for traf-
fic, photos and any other needs that may
take up time. Couples do not want any-
one, including themselves, to feel
rushed.
Once the timing has been orches-
trated, couples can figure out exactly
which types of transportation will be
required.
Book personal transportation first
Happy couples must make their own
transportation their top priority. Arrange
for the couples’ transportation between
five and seven months in advance of the
wedding. It could be preferable to book it
even further in advance if a couple is
getting married around a holiday or dur-
ing prom season when limousines and
party buses are in high demand.
Remember, unless the bride-to-be plans
to be seen by her groom, couples will
need separate transportation to the cer-
emony site. Factor multiple vehicles into
the wedding transportation budget.
Explore your personality
Brides and grooms have many
transportation options at their disposal. If
a limousine doesn’t add the spark of cre-
ativity they desire, they
can opt for a VW bus or a
retro roadster. Outdoor
enthusiasts might want to
ride off on horseback,
while easy riders might
prefer to rev up the engine
on a Harley-Davidson.
Couples should never feel
penned in by tradit ion,
especially when some-
thing else makes them
feel remarkable and the
budget allows for it.
Have your
getaway car ready
Couples generally opt
to arrive to the wedding
and reception in style, but take their own
vehicles or cabs home afterward. This
requires some advanced planning. Enlist
the help of friends to park the return-trip
car in a convenient location. Check with
the catering hall to see if a vehicle can
be left in their lot overnight. Otherwise,
arrange to grab a ride home with friends
or family.
Consider others’ needs
Have the names and phone num-
bers of taxi or ridesharing services avail-
able for those who may not be able to
drive after the party. Elderly or disabled
guests might appreciate prearranged
transportation as well. Although couples
can arrange for transportation as a cour-
tesy to others, they don’t need to make
arrangements for everyone.

Longevity in marriage is something to be celebrated. Couples who reach fiftieth and sixtieth wed-ding anniversaries often commemorate those anniversaries with big parties. But there are some
around the world who would consider golden anniversary celebrants to still be newlyweds. InDecember 2015, Karam Chand, 110, and his wife, Kartari Chand, 103, from Bradford, WestYorkshire (originally from India), celebrated their 90th wedding anniversary, becoming theworldʼs longest-betrothed couple. In America, John and Ann Betar, ages 104 and 100, respec-
tively, have been married 83 years as of 2016. The couple eloped in 1932. They have been named one of Americaʼs longest-married couples by the Worldwide Marriage Encounter.

Groom-To-Be Checklist
According to the 2015 Real Weddings Study from the premier multiplatform wedding resourceThe Knot, the most popular month for couples to get engaged is December. Sixteen percent of
survey respondents became engaged in the final month of the calendar year. The survey alsofound that the average length of a coupleʼs engagement is now 14.5 months. Where Juneonce was the most popular month of the year to tie the knot, todayʼs couples are now headingdown the aisle most often in October. Seventeen percent of weddings now occur in October,
closely followed by 15 percent in September. And at what age are couples saying their “I dos”? The average marrying age fora bride is 29 and it is 31 for the groom.
White diamonds have been the tra-ditional engagement ring stones fordecades. While shoppers have experi-mented with gold, silver, platinum, andother precious metals for ring bands, thestar of the show has long been that twin-kling, pristine diamond.
Even though diamonds may be a“girl’s best friend,” they may not fit everywoman’s style, particularly the bride wholikes to buck tradition and think outsidethe box. According to Money magazine,the average engagement ring costsmore than $5,800. In addition to beingone of the most expensive gemstones,diamonds have become quite common-place. Some women even eschew dia-monds for moral reasons.
Whatever the driving force behindshopping for alternative gems, womenwho want to set themselves apart fromothers — and men who want to “wow”their significant others with unique andeye-catching rings — may opt for otherdazzling stones.
• Moissanite: This crystal naturallyoccurs in meteorites and is nearly ashard, dense and scuff-resistant as a dia-
mond. Some feel moissanite offers morebri l l iance and fire than diamonds.Moissanite is a white-colored stone, so itcan mimic the look of a diamond. Andsince it can be made in the laboratory ata fraction of the cost of even lab-madediamonds, it’s a frugal option. A nearlyflawless one-carat moissanite gem cancost less than $1,000.
• Lemon quartz: This is the tradename for a lemon-yellow stone that is avariety of color-enhanced transparentquartz. Quartz is turned into this sunnyhue through an artificial gamma ray irra-diation process. Like other quartz gem-stones, lemon quartz is considered to bevery durable and is therefore suitable for
all types of jewelry.• Sapphire: Sapphires tend to be
blue stones (of varying intensity), butthey also come in peach, pink, yellow,green, and white. Sapphire may notsparkle as much as a diamond or evenmoissanite. However, with the right cut,it can be hard to distin-guish any lack of luster.Sapphires are the thirdhardest mineral, and atabout one-third the priceof diamonds, they makean ideal diamond substi-tute.
• Morganite: Accord-ing to the blog BridalMusings, morganite is cur-rently one of the mostpopular choices forengagement rings. Itspretty pink hue is romanticand feminine. It also sits ataround the same hard-ness as sapphires, ensur-ing the rings will endure.
Vividly cut rubies,emeralds and tanzanite —
all gems that are rarer yet less ex-pensive than diamonds — can makebeautiful engagement rings. Some couples also may opt for rings withoutgemstones, such as traditional Claddaghor “true lover’s knot” rings to signify their union.

We Do D.I.Y. BrideHave fun doing it yourself
with help from professional florists.
Weddings celebrate the unions of
happy couples ready to pledge their
lives to each other. In theory, the wed-
ding day spotlight should be shared
equally by brides and grooms. But
brides often eclipse their grooms, as
guests are drawn to stunning bridal
gowns.
Though grooms might play second
fiddle for much of their wedding days,
there is one moment when all eyes are
on the groom and a special lady in his
life. The mother/son dance is a wedding
tradition that many grooms embrace as
their opportunity to show their mothers
how much they love and appreciate
them. The mother/son dance is an ideal
time to create a special moment, and
the following are some tips to personal-
ize the dance.
• Precede the bride and her
father. Make your own tradition and
switch up the timing of the dances. Be
the first to take a spin on the dance floor
and set the tone for the other traditional
songs to come.
• Create a photo montage. Work
with an entertainment company or pho-
tographer to create a slideshow of
images showing you and your mother
together and separately. If possible,
include some photos that were shot dur-
ing the wedding ceremony, asking the
photographer to capture the look on
your mother ’s face during pivotal
moments of the ceremony.
• Show off your dance skills. One
increasingly popular wedding trend is
for fathers and brides to choreograph
the father/daughter dances. Grooms
and their mothers can follow suit, partic-
ularly if you both have some stellar
dance moves.
• Let Mom choose the song. Give
your mother the opportunity to express
her sentiments to you, as mothers of the
groom do not typically toast their sons
during weddings or even rehearsal
dinners.
• Invite other son/mother duos
up. If the idea of dancing alone with
your mother is a bit intimidating, give
other mothers in attendance an opportu-
nity to share the spotlight. Celebrate all
mothers in attendance, encouraging any
mothers and sons who are present to
dance together.
Grooms may not garner the bulk of
guests’ attention on their wedding days.
But they can take steps to make their
special dances with their mothers more
memorable and unique.

Elegant, lavish weddings provide
moments couples will remember for
years to come. But while such storybook
ceremonies and receptions remain pop-
ular, casual affairs are gaining popularity.
According to the bridal resource The
Knot, more and more couples are opting
for less pageantry and more laid back
panache when planning their weddings.
For those who prefer something more
intimate and more personalized, casual
weddings may be right on target.
There are many advantages to hav-
ing a “luxe with less” wedding, including
the ability to break molds and impart
more of the couple’s personality into the
event.
Another advantage is the price tag.
The average U.S. wedding, according to
The Knot 2014 Real Weddings Study,
costs $31,213. In some urban areas,
particularly New York City, average costs
are three times that amount. Golden Girl
Finance, a leader in financial digital
media, has found that Canadian wed-
dings average $31,000 with honeymoon
included. Although wedding costs have
gone up, the average number of wed-
ding guests has gone down. As such,
certain couples might look to rein in
other aspects of their wedding.
Transforming the festivities into a casual
affair can help keep the overall budget
low while still allowing for an exciting
and enjoyable event. To put casual plans
into motion, consider these ideas to help
the wedding vision come to fruition.
Venue
Catering halls and other reception
sites do a wonderful job of meeting the
needs of their clientele. However, food
and beverage costs are often the most
expensive wedding expense. To reduce
the per-guest cost and also incorporate
some variety into their wedding days,
couples can consider a venue change.
Look for public locations that allow cou-
ples to hire their own caterer, which may
be a favorite restaurant or specialty food
shop. The cost per person may
decrease dramatically from the venue
costs.
Changing the venue also enables
couples to pick unique spots that may
hold special meaning to them. For
example, couples can choose the site of
their first date or the location where their
proposal took place.
Contrast
Enjoy a casual, free-spirited wed-
ding that incorporates some aspects of
formality in an off-beat way. Think about
serving fast food, such as fried chicken
or pizza, on fine china. Those wearing
tuxedos and gowns can opt for casual
footwear, such as athletic shoes. Place
wildflowers in crystal vases. These are
just some methods to give a rich feel
without removing the fun element.
Personal touches
Menus or wedding programs printed
at home in a fun font can set the casual
tone couples are looking for. Look for
eclectic fabrics to use as gift tags or
napkin holders. Hand-painted signs or a
hodge-podge of picture frames can dis-
play pertinent information, such as itiner-
aries or seating arrangements.
Encourage friends or family to contribute
a favorite menu item to the food offer-
ings. A home-baked dessert can be deli-
cious and budget-friendly.
Wardrobe
Clothing often indicates the formality
of an occasion. Everyone from the wed-
ding party to the guests can dress down.
Sundresses can replace taffeta brides-
maids’ gowns. Guys can opt for tailored
sports coats with jeans. Guests may feel
comfortable in less formal attire that
facilitates dancing and mingling.
Casual weddings are becoming
more popular as many couples are play-
ing down the party for various reasons.
