TYPES OF WEDDINGS

Church wedding
A church wedding is a ceremony presided over by a Christian priest or pastor.  Ceremonies are based on reference to God, and are frequently embodied into other church ceremonies such as Holy Mass. Customs may vary widely between denominations.

Civil wedding
A civil wedding is a ceremony presided over by a local civil authority, such as an elected or appointed judge, justice of the peace or the mayor of a locality. Civil wedding ceremonies may use references to God, but generally no references to a particular religion or denomination. They can be either elaborate or simple. Many civil wedding ceremonies take place in local town or city halls or courthouses in judge's chambers.

Destination wedding
A destination wedding is any wedding in which the engaged couple and/or a majority of their guests travel to attend the ceremony. This could be a beach ceremony in the Caribbean, a lavish event in Las Vegas, or a simple ceremony at the home of a geographically distant friend or relative.

Double wedding
A double wedding is a single ceremony where two couples rendezvous for two simultaneous or consecutive weddings. Typically, a fiancé with a sibling  might plan a double wedding with that sibling.

Jewish wedding
A Jewish wedding is a ceremony presided over by someone who can read Hebrew and knows Jewish law, usually, but not necessarily, a rabbi.  The rabbi recites the two wedding blessings, reads out the Ketubah, and recites the seven blessings, or Sheva Brachot. Today, a second Rabbi or another honored guest is given the privilege of reading the Ketubah, and seven other people are given the honor of reciting the blessings. The ceremony concludes when the groom breaks a glass underfoot.

Military wedding
A military wedding is a ceremony conducted in a military chapel and may involve a Saber Arch.  In most military weddings the groom will wear a military dress uniform in lieu of civilian formalwear, although military dress uniforms largely serve the same purpose. Some retired military personnel who marry after their service has ended may opt for a military wedding.

Sneak wedding
Eloping, the act of getting married behind people's back and without consent or approval.

Weekend wedding
A weekend wedding is a wedding in which couples and their guests celebrate over the course of a weekend. Special activities, such as spa treatments and golf tournaments, may be scheduled into the wedding itinerary throughout the weekend. Lodging usually is at the same facility as the wedding and couples often host a Sunday brunch for the weekend's finale.

White wedding
A white wedding is a term for a traditional formal or semi-formal Western wedding. This term refers to the color of the wedding dress which became popular in the Victorian era and came to symbolize purity of heart and the innocence of childhood. Later attribution suggested that the color white symbolized virginity.
A Destination Wedding can unite a dream wedding made in heaven with an equally romantic honeymoon paradise. These  convenient and often lavish wedding/travel packages can be arranged for nearly any honeymoon dream, from Italian villas to tropical beaches, to a romantic nautical cruise.  Couples can exchange their vows in Tahiti, wearing authentic costumes and celebrating traditional romantic customs, then sneak away after the party to their romantic honeymoon accommodations.

He is the half part of a blessed man
Left to be finished by such as she:
And she a fair divided excellence
Whose fulness of perfection lies in him.
- William Shakespeare
We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
- Sam Keen
Why should consider a Destination Wedding?
1.  A more intimate affair, ususally with few people.
2.  Cost effective for the couple. They ususally cost less than traditional weddings.
3.  Honeymoon easier to take and enjoy at same place as wedding.
4.  Wedding attractions not available in your home town.
5.  Gives others an opportunity to get away too.

Destination Weddings are not for everyone. Why?
1.  You want a BIG wedding.
2.  You want ALL your friends and family there.
3.  You want more control of all aspects
4.  More expensive for others to get away with you.

The Honeymoon

Whether you are planning a traditional wedding in your home town, or a destination wedding in a far off exotic location - your Honeymoon after the big event is more than just a detail, it may be the first chance you and your fiance have to focus exclusively on your needs and passion as a couple as you start your new lives together.

Like every other detail in your Wedding planning, who you choose to help plan your Honeymoon travel can make the difference between the Trip of a Lifetime, and one that is interrupted by headaches and hiccups that get in the way of the Dream...

Don't let your dream honeymoon destination get away!  The sooner you plan your romantic honeymoon, the more likely you are to experience possibly the most memorable trip you will ever take.

Start talking with each other about where you think you might like to go.  A warm sunny beach at an All-Inclusive Resort in the Carribbean or Hawaii; A Romantic Cruise with your own veranda or suite; A Wonderful French Villa in the middle of France's Wine Country....The choice is yours.  But start talking about it early on and give us a call.  We can help sort out all of the options you are considering.  Afterall...that is what we are here for.
