LOCALLY OWNEDWhen one international conglomeration owns nearly every print publication in the Des Moines metro area, that doesn’t leave you with many options. Which is why there’s cityview. We believe that you deserve an alternative to the cut-and paste variety of “news” that seems less and less to have its finger on the pulse of our community. Unlike the local daily and its dozens of pub-lications, our newspaper is locally owned and operated by people who have roots in Central Iowa and thus know it well — something we feel to be truly important, and that which sets us apart. So to our weekly readers, we’d like to say thanks. We’re proud to be Des Moines’ only alternative.

Want to know the secret to getting a great drink at a wedding? Ask a bartender. “I’ll do straight spirits, man, every time. Gin and tonic or gin and soda,” says Danny Shapiro, co-owner of Scofflaw, a gin-focused cocktail bar in Chicago.
Such enlightenment, of course, is the product of some tribulation. “I was at this wedding in Richmond, Va. I basically tried ordering an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan or something, and I had to walk the bartender through the steps,” he says, taking care to note that was during his “younger days” when he was first getting into cocktails. “There were people waiting for drinks, the bartender had no idea what I was talking about it. “Ultimately, you don’t want to coach them too specifically,” Shapiro says. So, he gave only a basic rundown of the ingredients and ended up with a terrible drink. The lackluster cocktail caused him to be upset for the next “15 to 30 minutes,” he says. “At that point I realized the way to go at weddings is straight spirits or a highball of some-thing and soda or something and Coke.” For a lot of folks these days, that something is gin, which has been riding a wave of popular-ity — be it in the press, the rise in small-batch distillers or literal gin joints like Shapiro’s (both he and Scofflaw were named Chicago’s top ’tender and bar in 2013). So, naturally, the spirit deserves a spot at your wedding bar. Here’s what you need to know.
Get To Know Your GinShapiro stocks more than 80 varieties of gin at his bar. “What’s cool with gin is there are so many variations on one flavor profile, and those variations are so minute,” he says. “It’s fun to explore.”
Gin up your bar

The takeaway: Whether you’re working to craft a signature cocktail or just want to make sure your mixers pair well with the spirit, spend some time getting to know its profile. And find out the ingredients in your gin. Orange or grapefruit? Garnish with a peel. If it’s barrel-aged and you pick up some clove, stud the orange peel with a few cloves. Cassia bark? Try a cinnamon stick. Rosemary, in its hardy glory, always makes a great cocktail garnish, too.
“I usually try to taste the spirit on its own and focus on what I believe to be interest-ing notes in that spirit, then play upon them and exaggerate them with other spirits or ingredients,” Shapiro says.
Mix It RightYou want to be cognizant of your budget, but you also want to please your guests. Don’t skimp on a great drink just to make your alcohol go longer.
Shapiro’s ratio for a great drink is one part alcohol to two parts water-based mixer.“One and a half ounces gin, 3 ounces tonic. That way you can taste your booze, but
it shouldn’t be too offensive,” Shapiro says.
Tweak the ClassicsIf you’re unfamiliar with gin cocktails, just start with a classic drink — then modify it to make it work for you.
Take the Pegu Club — gin, Cointreau, lime juice, bitters. Shapiro says subbing in blanco tequila would work just as well as the classic gin version.
The same works for the inverse, such as a Gin Old Fashioned, with gin taking the place of the bourbon.
You get the idea. © Brides 365

A photo of a wedding party aligned in royal fashion around the bride and groom is a staple of wedding photography. Then there’s the classic black-and-white photo. These elegant images will always have a place in wedding albums, but lately an-
other shot has made it to the roster: the action-packed, staged Photoshop photo. With the help of Photoshop, photographers don’t just capture moments of the big day, they create them. And we’re not talking about removing Dad’s red-eye or altering the backdrop to change the mood of the photo. Photo editors are creating worlds and moments comparable to scenes out of blockbuster movies. The trend came to forefront in May 2013 when a photo of a wedding party running away from a Tyrannosaurus rex went viral. “They really sold the idea in the photo,” says Quinn Miller, the Louisiana-based photographer and photo editor who took the shot. Miller was inspired by another photo and brought the idea to the couple just days before the wedding. “The groom loved dinosaurs, and they’re just a fun, kind of goofy couple,” Miller says. Many in the wedding party weren’t aware of their plan until mo-ments before the shot was taken, but their expressions of pure horror and panic prove that they needed little prep time to sell the idea. Miller took care of the rest in the editing room, and the photo went viral just days after he posted it on Facebook. As of press time, it’s received nearly 15,000 “likes” and been shared more than 12,000 times.
Since then, Miller says he has seen an “unbelievable number of photos” in line with the disaster-wedding trend. Indeed, there was an explosion of cinematically edited pho-tos after Miller’s dino photo, including a “Star Wars” battle and a Sharktopus attack. However, a photo of a wedding-turned-zombie-apocalypse created in October 2012 shows that the Photoshop-enabled, disaster-wedding trend has been brewing for quite some time. Josiah Moore, a photographer based in Rochester, N.Y., staged and edited a photo of his own wedding party to look like zombies coming after him and his bride. Moore says he never set out to create something popular when he persuaded his then-fiancée to include the shot in their wedding-day plans.

“People always like to do something fun and memorable,” Moore says. “One of the coolest aspects about it is that you can really cater the artwork or the custom photos to the individuals — what’s special to them, what’s important to them, or what fits their personality.”
Soon-to-be-married couples who want the next viral, cinematic wedding photo should take note of the recipe for blockbuster movies:
The original plot: Let’s face it. A dinosaur wedding-crasher photo isn’t likely to cause a stir these days. Both Miller and Moore agree that original ideas, or at least a twist on something familiar, garner the most attention.
Director/editor: A great idea isn’t enough. The photographer has to see the big pic-ture to instruct the wedding party and have the chops to execute it in an editing program after the shot is taken.
A-list actors: The successful Hollywood cast is good-looking, and, hopefully, they can act. The same goes for the wedding party. Miller admits these two elements gave his photo a boost in popularity.
The “it” factor: The work to create a memorable shot shouldn’t overshadow the joy and celebration of the day. In the end, it’s about having fun.

It’s not his day. He just thinks it is. According to retailer David’s Bridal’s 7th annual “What’s On Bride’s Minds?” survey, 83 percent of grooms are actively involved
in making wedding decisions. The David’s Bridal survey echoed research from Mintel, which found that not only are men becoming more involved in wedding planning, they’re becoming nearly as stressed as women when it comes to planning a wedding, with 32 percent of men calling the process “overwhelming,” compared to 42 percent of women. Two-thirds of brides surveyed said there is at least one thing that would turn their groom into one of those little green guys at the top of the page (starts with “Groom,” ends with “zilla”). The areas most likely to set off the groom? The guest list (31 percent), music selection (24 percent) and honeymoon planning (16 percent).
What does the groom say?
From our hands... to her heart!

According to Mintel, 39 per-cent of men said they were in charge of picking the reception venue, and a quarter of men were in charge of selecting bridal party gifts. Forty-six percent of men in the Mintel research said the cer-emony site was the most impor-tant aspect of the day (versus 36 percent of women).
That said, the bride still is call-ing the shots.
Nearly 20 percent of the brides surveyed by David’s Bridal said they wouldn’t trust their groom to make a wedding decision without input from them. In fact, more than 40 percent of brides said they didn’t even trust their groom to pick out their own tux for the wedding. Yikes! © Brides 365
