Weddings

My favorite part of weddings are the traditions. Every family has their own unique traditions, and new wedding traditions are born all the time.

Looking through the pages of magazines at the grocery store checkout counter, we are often regaled with stories of the lavish weddings of our favorite celebrities. And while we can’t all plan million dollar weddings, having a destination wedding like a celebrity is far more accessible than you think. Not just for celebrities and athletes, destination weddings are becoming more and more popular. There are countless websites devoted to planning them, and a bridal magazine focused solely on destination weddings.

Having your wedding on a cruise ship is an experience like no other. And with the popularity of cruise ship weddings growing (more than 2,000 weddings were performed on cruise ships last year), cruise lines are doing more and more to cater to these couples. From hiring some of the best wedding planners in the country to building wedding chapels on board, lines are making a cruise ship wedding a reality for couples every day.

When you do some research on the best destination weddings you find that there are two schools of thought as to what a destination wedding is. Some websites will define a destination wedding as a wedding that is planned to take place out of town. They outline a great deal of planning involved and the expense of getting wedding parties, families, and guests to romantic wedding locations. Others define the best destination weddings as simply a new way of saying eloping. Basically the bride and groom decide to get married, fly off to their dream location, and get married without telling anyone about the ceremony until it is over. However you define a destination wedding there are multiple places to go for the best destination weddings and a variety of ways to plan for your event.

When you are enjoying your wedding reception you can sometimes hear that question from somewhere across the room and it can make your skin crawl. Your wedding’s reception decorations are something that should reflect your personal taste and also reflect a little of your personality as a couple. Some people like to go with traditional wedding reception decorations such as streamers and paper bells. Other folk’s idea of wedding reception decorations may contain a little bit too much personality.

I know a couple that had spent a vacation every year they were together in Key West. They lived up here in Upstate New York but they would take a week every year and go to Key West. They were married up here and I asked them why they didn’t have a Key West wedding. They told me that if they had a Key West wedding they would have never left Key West.

To me there is no greater risk in life than an outdoor wedding. Oh sure people make back up plans, have huge tents, and even try and keep the option of moving the wedding inside open, but an outdoor wedding can sometimes be a challenge. So when you are planning your outdoor wedding keep in mind that sometimes it even rains on outdoor weddings.

I am probably too much of a cynic sometimes but I usually get a good laugh out of celebrity weddings. From what I can tell, the bigger the deal the media makes about the celebrity wedding the more of a chance that the marriage will be a train wreck. As soon as a celebrity couple starts dating the tabloids instantly start throwing around wedding rumors. When did marriage become so shallow that celebrities that have been dating for a week are considered ripe for a celebrity wedding? It is truly a shame what Hollywood, and the media, are doing to great institutions like marriage in the world today.
