Paris travel guide - Romantic Paris for couples Author: Joshua ThorpeParis is undeniably the most romantic city in the world. From a picnic under the Eiffel tower, a wander round the abundant treasures of the Louvre or a coffee in a typical Parisian café watching the world go by. This city contains hundreds of intimate corners and romantic spots. However, it is when the sun goes down, that this city really comes to life. No matter what your tastes, Paris' colourful nightlife offers something for everyone. For a spot of opulence and unrivaled elegance, stroll down the Champs Elysées to the La Durée tea room, a regular haunt of the Paris aristocracy since the 19th century where you cannot leave without sampling a range of brightly coloured macaroons: the house speciality. Alternatively, for a taste of Brittany head for la rue Montparnasse (between boulevard de Montparnasse and rue Edgar Quinet) which is brimming with cosy crepe restaurants. For those seeking a breath of fresh air and relaxation from the hustle and bustle of the city Paris boasts a wide range of parks and green spaces which can be enjoyed at any time of the year. The Jardin de Luxembourg, located in the 6th arrondissement, is at its finest in the autumn months when the park transforms into a splendid palate of russet and crimson. Head out of the city to marvel at the splendor of The Sun King (Louis XIV)'s ostentatious Palace of Versailles with the famous and recently restored gallery of mirrors and large formal gardens. These gardens are some of the most extensive in the world and in spite of the millions of visitors which the chateau receives every year it is surprisingly easy to find a quiet corner to yourselves, to sit back and take in the exuberant setting. During the summer months there are regular classical music concerts and musical fountain displays which coordinate well-known classical music of the period to the movement of the great water features of Versailles. Of course no Paris travel guide would be complete without mention of Gustav Eiffel's ubiquitous Tower. This vast structure is more than just a proud icon for the city and arguably for the whole of France, but a breathtaking attraction giving sublime views across the city. Whether mounted by the energetic up 386 steps to the highest platform of the structure or in one of the lifts, this ultimate attraction should not be missed on a trip to the city. Whether visiting Paris on a honeymoon or on a romantic mini-break, every Paris travel guide would agree that it is the ideal destination for couples during any season of the year.

Surprise Gifts for your bride...something Blue This gift doesn't have to be expensive but it does have to be blue! Something she can keep forever like a blue sapphire bracelet (practice hooking it on a friends wrist, so you look smooth) or a blue handkerchief with some heart felt words stitched on it in gold thread, be creative and keep it secret until the first song in your ceremony, then slip it to her! -- It must be the color BLUE for traditional good luck and happiness for the rest of your married days. Your next set of gifts will make feel like your wife! After the ceremony during the party when your meeting everyone, have thank you notes written up by hand in nice little envelopes in your pocket, and give them to your "wife", one at a time, to hand out so SHE feels wonderful. Little things like this will be what she remembers of the whole day, and she will love you more because of it. - remember this must be a surprise! Smug Mug.com Open up a photo site before your big day and add the site address to your wedding invitations. People can look it up and see pictures of you and your bride growing up. Read about your future plans together, and learn how they can help you fulfill your dreams, including taking beautiful pictures and videos of everything on your wedding day. Then they can upload them onto your site for everyone to enjoy forever! Grooms Ring You're wearing a ring for one reason, for her! You'd give your life for her remember? So if it gives her security and happiness then you should get the biggest darn ring you can find! Shout it out to the world that you are taken and happy about it! Don't get a matching ring set, they're silly, just choose a wide comfortable band that says her name and wedding date, etched on the OUTSIDE of the ring! That way you can read it and remember her everyday. Some jewelers can even engrave her name in colors to make it STAND OUT. No one else does this, every other groom in the world hides his wife's name and date of marriage on the inside of the ring, where no one including himself will ever see it again. Be bold! Make your wife feel extra special that her husband, not only wants to show the world that he is taken but that he loves her enough to put her name on the outside of the ring, to read everyday! -- To show it off as a conversation piece with strangers! Also, rings are usually difficult to push on over the knucklebone so place a dap of Vaseline on your knuckle just before you go down the aisle and she'll slip that baby on with no struggle. This sums up your life now, doing hidden things to make her life easier and better without her even knowing about it! - Because love is and action word. Make each moment special, go very slow with putting on the ring, and hold her hand and look her in the eye and whisper something she'll remember forever! Same thing when lifting the veil, she worked really hard for this moment, maybe years! without your knowing it, so when you lift that veil you had better really "look at her" your own original Mona Lisa! Jewelry and Electronics All necklaces, rings, body piercings, watch's, palm pilots, cell phones... get rid of it all! Hopefully forever, but at least for your wedding day, try to give her center stage and your full attention. Haircut The proper Groom haircut in 2008 needs to be as short as possible without seeing ANY of your scalp, if you have straight hair or shaved as short as possible if you have an afro. This is the best and only choices for a proper groom in 2008. For all you grooms who have straight hair, short means between 1 inch and 2 inch's long for the hair on top of your head then ask your barber to trim all the edges around the ears and back of the neck with scissors not the electric trimmer. You're going for a NO SCALP look, anywhere on your head. No haircuts or trims on your wedding day-- little pieces of hair will fall on your face and clothes and distract the people whom you love. Have your hair washed and styled by a professional the morning of your wedding, (you'll have to remind him NO TRIMMING) he will make sure that your hair is perfect! Not plastered to your head--or sticking up like a porcupine, your barber will find the perfect middle. In 2007 parting your hair in a line is out, no parts! -- have it slightly moused up to make your hair look full without looking like a porcupine or showing any of your scalp. Some of you have hair that is disappearing in front and will try to cover it up by combing it forward, this looks incredibly dumb and everyone will laugh at you behind your back, just tough it out and cut it shorter as it recedes, your about to be married, so do it for her, she doesn't need all her friends laughing at her husband for combing his hair forward or God forbid combing it over! Eyebrows No plucking or razor cutting or shaping of your eyebrows, you're not a girl, and this type of treatment is sooo obvious to everyone and only makes you look week and vain. Maybe you ARE week and vain, but try to cover it up by not touching your eyebrows for at least 2 months before the wedding, Natural is best for men in 2008 and wild eyebrows add to your manliness, let your eyebrows grow wild, you're a man! Stop plucking! Skin Get it cleaned up! If you have to start visiting a skin doctor 6 months before the wedding then do it! But try to have perfect, pimple free skin on your wedding day. Do what you have to do, but get nice skin for this day, and for the rest of your life if you can. Today, skin clinics can remove almost any and all blemishes if you give a specialist enough time. Then stay clean and smell like soap and her favorite cologne at all times for the rest of your life together. Smells are mostly subliminal but very important; stay erotic to her subliminally with clean fresh smells everywhere (wink). Especially this day of all days try to smell good, wear deodorant, and a light touch of cologne and have breath mints in your pockets at all times. Professional skin clinics everywhere now offer laser hair removal; if you have the time and money - go for it! You go in and ask for all hair on your body to be removed except on the top of your head and eyebrows, everything else should be gone including warts, moles, freckles, tattoos, varicose veins and blemishes of any sort. This will take a few visits to get your skin blemish free, so give yourself at least 6 months to a year before your ceremony to surprise her with a toned, tanned perfect body to devour on your honeymoon. 2008 says NO to body hair - period. Even have your face and neck lasered, it'll save you thousands of hours shaving. This'll also save your shirt collars, jackets etc... from being eaten up by the stubble. Try to look your best for your bride and that means from today on. She should never catch you shaving yourself in the bathroom like a woman, or even worse asking her shave you like a sheep! Get your hair removed! 2008 and on says NO to body hair. Shaving This won't be an issue for you anymore if you follow the advice above, but if you don't have time to get professionally de-haired, then shave your face yourself on this big day. No professional shaves on the day of the wedding or the day before. Professional shaves use a straight razor and often get so close they irritate the skin, leaving red bumps on the back of your neck and under your nose. Stick with your normal shaving methods and make sure you're clean shaved; no mustache, beards or long side burns on this day or for the rest of your life! Give your bride a man whom she can point to with pride. Smooth, healthy and young! With a touch of cologne, that means one drop, as in one eye drop's worth of cologne - if you get more than this on your hands wash them off and try again - literally, one drop of cologne can be pleasant but never over powering. Just before you come out of the changing room give yourself a quick electric shave to make you look your best for the pictures! Ears Get them cleaned. You can't see what everyone else sees, and if you have a big chunk of yellow earwax dangling inside one of your ears it doesn't look good, get someone to clean your ears before your wedding day! Teeth Get them cleaned, get professional help! The earlier the better. Straighten and whiten professionally. This is a new start in your life, and every tooth should be shiny white. If you have no time and no money at least get a professional cleaning and then use a teeth-whitening kit yourself - it's better than nothing! And do I need to even say it... stop smoking and start brushing your teeth! You're a married man now! Beautiful teeth, are for beautiful people, and beautiful people are ALWAYS the most successful -- If you haven't noticed this by now, then open your eyes! Every successful person on TV, in magazines, in every high management position, the person who is the best in whatever field they pursue --- they all have great teeth! Look around you, losers have bad teeth and winners have good teeth. You now have a good woman, who is depending on you to be the best, and if that means you need to look foolish for a couple of months with braces on your teeth, then so be it, get it done for her sake, and your own future success in the real world. Get those teeth fixed! And get your teeth cleaned professionally by a dentist at least every 6 months and re-whitened once a year - put these dates on your calendar! Slow and Serious Today of all days you need to be completely sober, no alcohol or drugs of any sort on your ceremony morning. You need to be slow and in control and very very serious. Maybe you earn your living as a comedian, but for this moment she NEEDS you to be serious. You need to walk slow, move slow and stand tall and mean every word you say. When you put the ring on her hand and when you lift the veil you need to be serious and slow. You'll never have this moment again, so savor every second. By your doing this you'll turn an average ceremony into something sacred. Do it for her. Touch Her! From the walk down the aisle and for the rest of your life together, always be reaching for her, touching her making her feel needed. Woman need to be touched and talked to as much as possible, most men touch their dogs more than their wives! If you take your time exploring and touching every part of her whenever you have the chance, your married life will be full of joy and laughter! About the author: Live and study in Tokyo, Japan!
