Plan "B" through "Z"



Found this picture/saying and had to post this for anyone who is planning a wedding. It is so true. So many times we are focused on one specific idea and if something goes wrong (such as weather) we can stress out about it and it can ruin our day.
When planning a wedding or a function or event, it is imperative to have back-up plans, especially if it is an outside event. It is even more important to be okay with said back-up plan. Knowing that you have a full proof plan, even if plan "A" doesn't work can greatly decrease the stress level. If you are stuck and not sure how to proceed with a plan "B" "C" or "D" - talk to your professional vendors! They have been doing this for a great deal of time and usually have seen many successful and unsuccessful events and can give some great insight.

Happy Planning!

Best Man Speech

 From Megan:

To be the Best Man or Maid of Honor of a  loved one is a privilege. A friend of mine was the best man in his brother’s wedding. Like many of us would, he had a bit of nervousness when deciding what to say in his speech and he wanted to make it original. He decided to put a little extra time and energy into a speech that turned out to be more than memorable.
Take a look:

Just watch this...

I know that choreographed songs are a little more popular in weddings these days, but this one takes the cake. I laughed pretty hard at this! I love the effort that the groom and his groomsmen put into it!

The Honeymoon

A post from Megan

A big trend for 2012 honeymoons includes one of my favorite things; traveling. Couples today are now deciding to cut cost in their weddings and putting the money towards travel, which is an idea I love.
In the past years all inclusive vacations to places such as Mexico and Jamaica have become extremely popular for a romantic getaway. Now couples are choosing to skip lying on the beach for a week, and choosing to see other beautiful parts of the world. Some of the places that have become very popular are Thailand, Morocco, Nepal, or Africa, which are all on my list of places to visit.

Another great place to honeymoon, that I have mentioned to numerous people is Costa Rica. It is completely affordable and one of the best vacations I have ever been on. Anyone who I have talked to that has gone to Costa Rica has fallen in love with the laid back lifestyle and adventurous excursions. In the volcanic regions you can go hiking, or whitewater rafting. Up in the mountains there are zip lining tours or waterfall repelling, then when it is time to relax in the hot sun you can take a boat tour or go snorkeling off the shore. I personally love the idea of a nontraditional honeymoon!
Some websites that offer alternative registries are www.honeyfund.com or www.zankyou.com/us. These websites allow couples to register for their vacation excursions or dinner since many couples are skipping the kitchen supplies and taking a trip they will remember forever.
