Your partner already knows you love him/her as you often find yourself saying I love you. However, there is something more than saying just a simple 'I love you'. That part is the non-verbal part that you can inculcate and show your affection. Not all men are comfortable saying I love you, or receiving a verbal I love you.

The following are 10 ways to say I love you that will help you express your emotions without sounding loud and repetitive.

Burn the Fire of Romance
You can send your spouse or partner a simple card that says 'I love you' at their office. Or just tuck in the card under their pillow, while they are asleep. They will be absolutely happy to find the card when they wake up and to see a loving, I love you note from you. Or you can set the card at a place where they are bound to notice your I love you card. Like the kitchen table, dressing table, their work station or use a magnet and stick it on the refrigerator door. The idea is to let your partner know you love them, especially at times when they least expect those three magic words.

Love You Chit Treasure
You can bring home different colored papers and write a romantic message on each one of them. Make sure you make about 30 such romantic notes and keep them around the house, one each every day. This way your partner will find new love notes around the house. This will surely brighten up, not just their day but, the entire month. They will look forward to these love notes with different romantic messages written in them. You can get some idea about love notes for him and use them to build a healthy relationship.

Good Morning Toast
You can use a toast stamper that says I love you or has some cute hearts over it. Just press it slightly over the bread and toast it. The bread will be toasted with the impressions that says 'I love you'. This will be a highly personalized breakfast that your partner will love eating. This is an excellent way to start their day on a romantic note.

Mirror, Mirror in the Shower
You can take a nice hot bath and write 'I love you' or 'You are so hot' or 'You take my breath away', on the foggy mirror. When it's time for your partner to take a bath, the mirror will fog up again, revealing your secret message. This is one of the interesting 10 ways to say I love you without words.

My Lover, the Best of the Best
Brag, that's right, brag about your partner in front of his/ her family and friends. Make sure he/ she is the center of your conversation. This is a great self confidence booster for your partner. But do not go overboard. You do not want to sound too fake, or saturate the conversation with just your partner's ability. Keep things on a medium scale and make sure you do not embarrass your partner with too much bragging.

Romantic Gestures
There are many romantic gestures of love that you can try to make your partner feel special. Just hold hands while you are out taking a walk or shopping, always maintain eye contact while you speak to your partner and make sure your body language indicates your love for him/her. Always be there to give a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen to their problems. The gesture that shows you care and are there for them always, is a good way to say I love you without words.

Everybody Loves Gifts
It's a fact that everybody loves gifts, but receiving unexpected romantic gifts from one's partner has it's own pleasure. Keep in mind the things your partner is thinking about buying. Is is a book, some piece of jewelery or maybe a some clothes. Gifting the things they were eagerly saving to buy is a great way to say I love you.

Bake a Cake
One of the romantic and cute ways to say I love you is baking a cake. You can either bake a heart shaped cake or write I love you on the cake. This will be a very romantic and sweet gesture to show that you care. Why just limit your culinary talent to a cake? If you can make chocolate, then little heart shaped candies can be gifted to your loved one. Or maybe you can try dinner ideas for two and cook some of the favorite recipes of your lover and order an exquisite wine. Create a romantic atmosphere by turning on some romantic numbers and treat your lover with some loving kisses and hugs that shows your love.

I am Doing My Best for You
If you have an annoying habit that your partner just hates like smoking, try to overcome it. Make sure you remember to throw the trash, or pick up your dirty socks and linen and put them in the appropriate place. Your efforts to overcome a habit that irritates your partner is a nice way to show you love them. Changing yourself for someone can be one of the best way to say I love you.

My Heart is Filled with Your Love
Before your partner comes home from work, make a big heart of rose petals near the door. Leave a trail of rose petals leading to the bedroom.

Celebrity News Weddings/Engagements

According to TMZ, Eddie Griffin is a married man! The Undercover Brother actor got in touch with his frugal side for his walk down the aisle. Eddie Griffin and Nia Rivers have exchanged vows in Vegas! The pair married last Thursday in front of a grand total of four guests according to TMZ, dropping $199 for the 'cherish special'



Newlyweds Alan Hughes and Karl Broderick.

WEDDING guests partied into the early hours of this morning to toast newlyweds Alan Hughes and Karl Broderick.

Even the deluge of rain couldn't dampen this momentous day.

Alan's co-star on Celebrity Salon, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, was one of the last to leave and was spotted struggling with her stunning blue dress in puddles of rain early this morning after the party wound up -- and she had a laugh after getting into the driver's seat of a waiting taxi by mistake.

The happy couple tied the knot in a civil partnership ceremony at the Unitarian Church in Dublin's city centre. Both wore designer dress suits and matching cravates -- Karl in charcoal grey and Alan in a lighter shade of grey.


Emotional

"We are doing something that comes natural. This should be the normal thing in the world," Mr Broderick, a composer, said as the pair arrived in a chauffeur-driven Bentley at 2.45pm.

The rain stayed off long enough for guests to be photographed outside the church.

But there were waterworks at the ceremony as an emotional Alan (43) struggled to overcome the nerves on their special day.

"We waited 16 years for this day and we wanted to do it in Ireland," said the Ireland AM star. "I lost it totally during the ceremony. It was beautiful."

Taking a leaf out of the recent British royal wedding, two bridesmaids, Hughes's sister Doreen Freeman and Broderick's sister Ann Broderick, wore white and clutched pink and purple posies. Celebrity guests included RTE's Derek Mooney and most of TV3's big names -- Ireland AM's Mark Cagney, Sinead Desmond, Aidan Cooney and new mum Anna Daly, who looked radiant in a bohemian black dress.

Stylist Lisa Fitzpatrick performed a reading at the wedding along with TV3 producer Debbie O'Donnell.

The reception was at the Mansion House -- but the real party kicked off at 7.30pm, when 150 showbiz guests were invited to join in celebrations at the afters.

Friends ripped up the dancefloor when X Factor darling Mary Byrne and Eurovision singer Niamh Kavanagh took to the stage. The couple will honeymoon in the US.

'Mindfreak' Criss Angel Engaged!

Rock-star magician Criss Angel is engaged! The Vegas illusionist proposed to his girlfriend Sandra Gonzalez and got engaged in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on September 7, reports People.com.

"The couple is ecstatic," Angel's rep tells the magazine.

Angel met Gonzalez four years ago while on the set of his series Mindfreak. He proposed to her with a 5-carat diamond and platinum ring that he helped design along with jeweler Idayne Kaye.


Ne-Yo Is Engaged

R&B megstar, Ne-Yo is engaged -- and about to be a father again. The "Closer" singer is set to wed his longtime girlfriend, Atlanta boutique owner Monyetta Shaw, and the two are expecting their second child together, their rep confirmed to Us magazine.


Ne-Yo, whose real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith, first became a dad in November 2010 when Shaw gave birth to their daughter Madilyn Grace. And according to insiders, the second baby is due very soon -- in October. Ne-Yo was pretty excited last fall when his first daughter was born. "She's healthy and happy. Feels like I'm in luv for the first time," he tweeted at the time. "Welcoming that lil' girl to the world last night defined for me what 'willing to kill and die for' truly means. My world, my life, all hers."

No word yet on when their wedding will take place.

Bachelor Party Games

It's your friend's last night of bachelorhood before he enters a new phase of his life filled with extra responsibilities and duties. You've got to give him a great farewell party. A bachelor party has to be planned well, so that it can be executed even better. The most important part of such a party are the bachelor party games. These games are the life of a party, which make the party worth dancing all night long. Let's see what are some of the bachelor party games and bachelorette party games too!

Bachelor Party Games for Men

Cheers!!
A bachelor party cannot be started without intoxicated souls. After all, it's the only way the groom-to-be can lose all his inhibitions and follow his intuitions. Drinking games are the way to begin games for bachelor party. 'Name It', is a great game to start with. Place a pot at the center and make all the participants (everyone participates) contribute a bit of alcohol to the pot from their glasses. The groom starts, by naming a famous personality. The next, person names a celebrity, with the last letter of the previously said name. Say, the first name is 'David Beckham', the next has to begin with 'm'. The one who misses, has to drink the pot and start over. The person has to keep drinking till he comes up with a name. Wonder what names crop up after high levels of intoxication!

Poker
A grand game of poker with real money to bet, is a night long of conniving fun! This way you can have the classic stripper idea at the party too. A variation can be made with lap dancers. With choices galore, poker definitely qualifies in the list of bachelor party games ideas. The exotic performances for the 'last rites' of bachelorhood, are sly and can lead to some steamy secrets contrary to the next day's wedding vows. So what's going to be Mr Groom's strategy to hold himself clean?!

Movie Night
If you've been scandalized by the aforementioned ideas, don't worry. Clean bachelor party games do exist. This idea is not a game, but just a plain idea. A guys night-in to watch some of the guy-favorites. Matrix, Die Hard, Hangover, The Bachelor Party and just make your call. Order some pizza, nachos and store huge amounts of movie snacks for a night of virtual entertainment. If this gets boring, grab your keys and hit the road to hop clubs for the last time.

Trivia
It just takes a tad bit of romantic trivia to make bachelorette party games. List down some trivia of her husband-to-be such as: 'what's his favorite color?', 'what's his favorite song?' and so on. These are basically questions that never matter. With one wrong answer, the bride-to-be has to down a glass of beer. To get the others hammered, pass on the questions about bride to the guests. You can frame questions such as, 'what is her favorite cuisine?', 'which is her favorite movie?' and so on. Get the absolute trivia to make these questions, as getting all them sloshed is the aim. The real fun bachelor party games, begin post the spirits are high!
