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.

TIP-OFF SHOPPING GUIDE • HILLSDALE • (517) 437-7351 January 16, 2017 • Bridal Guide

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.

Bride-To-Be Checklist

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.

Tips for a special mother/son dance

Grooms are the unsung heroes of weddings. They often put others first, including

letting their own mothers shine on the dance floor.


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.
