Do Tell: Do You Have a Valentine's Day Tradition?
Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, so I'm sure most of you are getting your plans in order as we speak. Getting a reservation or coming up with a unique way to celebrate with your loved one can be stressful, which is why so many couples come up with a Valentine's tradition to rely on. My parents have been doing the same thing for years now — it gives them something to look forward to — but what about you?
In Love and Marriage, Do Traditional Titles Matter?
The overturning of the ban on same-sex marriage in California has changed many lives and simultaneously sparked a slew of arguments. In fact, as reported by the Sacramento Bee, a recently wed couple — Rachel Bird and Gideon Codding — are starting their own debate over the wording of the new gender-neutral marriage license, which has changed the traditional reference of Bride and Groom to Party A and Party B.
Bird offered her own explanation, saying: "We are traditionalists — we just want to be called bride and groom," and for this couple, anything else is unacceptable; they refuse to sign the license as-is.
5 Wedding Traditions and What They Mean
Something borrowed, something blue, and something . . .
What's the Deal With Mistletoe?
As the custom goes, any two people who meet under the mistletoe are obliged to kiss. When I was little, I always thought it was a kind of creepy tradition (because I thought kissing was so gross), but now that I'm older, I think the idea is actually kind of sweet.
Not everyone agrees with me though, so I was wondering: How do you feel about this tradition?
Do Tell: What's Your Thanksgiving Tradition?
I love the smell of Thanksgiving, and in my opinion, it's the holiday that brings family and friends the closest. Every year, my parents host, our immediate family and close friends come for dinner (we don't eat until 6), and we always keep a few extra chairs handy in case someone drops by. We have the same menu year after year, and while the kitchen is bustling, football is on the background, a fire is burning in the living room, and the phone rings off the hook with Thanksgiving cheers.
Dear Poll: Do you Want him to Ask for your Hand?
When it comes to weddings and engagements, I am extremely old fashioned. One of my closest girlfriends got engaged over the weekend after hearing the engagement story, we found out that the ring had been burning a hole through his pocket because he was having a hard time tracking down her dad so they could have "the talk." The sly guy that he is was finally able to ask his permission to marry his daughter, but his persistence got me thinking about the importance of engagement tradition.

Dear Poll: Are You Traditional or Contemporary
I've been telling you for a while now how traditional I am in almost every aspect of my life, especially when it comes to dating. It's not that I'm conservative, I just like classic, timeless traditions. While I'm all for experimentation and thinking outside the box, I'll always be that girl who likes a man to open the door for me and thinks the man should pay on the first date.
Do Tell: What's your Favorite Tradition?
Family traditions are a wonderful and unique way to tell stories of generations past. For those of you who are married or engaged, thank you for sharing your wedding day traditions, but as we all know, family traditions come in all forms.

Since tonight is the first night of Hanukkah, I thought it would be fun to share what traditions your families have on this special holiday. Every year, my dad makes a huge feast including the best potato latkes I've ever tasted. We get together and light the menorah that he made in his high school ceramics class (cute, huh?) and my mom leads the prayer.
