Milwaukee is #4 for Best Cities for a Happy Marriage!

So today, as I was doing my usual browsing on yahoo.com I came across an article that was titled 10 Best Cities for a Happy Marriage and of course...my curiosity got to me so I clicked on it. I am happy to announce that Milwaukee was #4 on this list :-) You can check out the article by clicking here.
Watch out Milwaukee- we are going to be known for something else other than, beer, cheese and football (not that any of those are bad).
A Happy Marriage starts with a Happy Wedding and a Happy Wedding can easily be done with many of our amazing wedding vendors in the area. I have stressed this before, but it is so important to trust your professionals when it comes to weddings and their craft. All of your wedding vendors want your event to be wonderful because it is also a reflection on them. We also know that word of mouth is the best marketing out there, so if your D.J., Caterer, Photographer etc... was awesome please tell your friends!
There are also a lot of resources out there directly for Milwaukee weddings. My favorite is the website www.marriedinmilwaukee.com. Started and created by local Milwaukeeans themselves, these guys have built relationships with vendors and have gone all over Milwaukee to make a website especially for weddings in Milwaukee. I will not be offended if you click off of this blog right now and go to their site. In fact- here it is again www.marriedinmilwaukee.com.
So...now that you have checked it out you may have seen something about a bridal marketing night. Do not fear as you may have missed the last one, there are many more in the future. This is a whole new way of visiting a "bridal show" and...there is booze involved :-) Instead of having booths of vendors and brides and grooms going to each booth, basically Married In Milwaukee puts everyone in a room and lets them mingle and network. This way, a bride and groom can see their vendor in a more natural habitat. It's pretty fun. Make sure to sign up for their newsletter so you can go to the next one.
Well, there you have it- a recipe for a happy marriage in Milwaukee! Just beware that this article also says that Milwaukee ranks first in "Best Cities for Sleep."  Happy Marriage I understand but "Best City for Sleep"  I am skeptical of, because the authors/researchers are clearly not living on the same street I am...
