Why plan a Destination Wedding?
There are many reasons to choose a destination
wedding. Many couples look to a destination wedding as a
way to have a unique and memorable wedding
experience. Often, when looking at a guest list, many
people will have to travel from far away places or
countries. A destination wedding allows them to travel
somewhere exotic and fabulous, where they can also
enjoy a relaxing vacation; as opposed to asking guests to
book a flight and hotel in a less exciting hometown. Some
couples are in love with the destination, and want to
spend the most special day of their lives in their idea of
paradise. More couples decide upon a destination
wedding as they are from different areas of the country,
and do not want to decide against one hometown for
another, so they opt to go to a location that will, from now
on, be somewhere special to each of them.
Is a destination wedding right for us and our guests?
Are there certain people, such as close family or friends,
without whom you would not have your wedding? If so, we
suggest that you poll these guests to see if attending your
destination wedding is feasible for them. Most engaged
couples send their guests an email prior to committing to
having a destination wedding.
A sample email:
_______________________________
As you know, we are in the process of planning our
wedding. We are contemplating having a destination
wedding in a tropical location.
As someone important to us, we want to get your opinion
on whether you could attend, given the following
"ballpark" information:
It could be a 2 or 3 night travel package requiring either a
Friday or a Monday (or both) off from work. Our projected
dates are [ ... ]
Estimated travel expenses could start at around $X,XXX
per person, including airfare, hotel accommodations,
transfers to and from the airport, and taxes.
We would love to have a destination wedding, but wanted
to check in with our most important guests before making
this decision, as we would love to share this important
time in our lives with you. We are looking forward to
hearing back from you!

With the start of every new year we
look at where we've been and where
we would like to be by this time next
year.
We at Brian Shimla Photography
have also looked at our
accomplishments in 2008 and
enjoyed watching our grandson past
those first year milestones and Tyler
joining our photo team for most of our
photo sessions. We continue to
balanced work and family life.
With the close of 2008, we have set
our goals for 2009 and can't wait to
see the year unfold and give back to
our community.
Have you decided on yours? With
today being the first day of the rest of
your life, it is never to late.

More couples are inquiring about the
latest phenomenon...a new respect
to your wedding gown and the start of
your relationship as a couple.
Yes, after many years I still go to our
main wardrobe as push my wife's
sealed dress out of the way. Who
would have thought that our daughter
of married last year wouldn't want to
wear it...I guess that magic eight ball
was correct...it is the right for each
bride to buy, wear and store the
dress of her choice.
Brides are now opting to trash that
dress, by getting wet, getting dirty, in
fantastically pictorial ways. They've
chosen to stun friends and family and
be remembered in a dramatic sense
of commitment to each other an not
to the hopes that the dress will see
another day.
I guess thats why guys just rent!
