When was the last time you had a really good day? The kind of day where you could look up and thank the heavens above for life being so good. When was the last time we counted out blessings? I know, I know, the stocks have fallen, the 401K has taken a dump and the job market looks bleak. (or was it the other way around).
I am not trying to make light of serious events taking place in our world. On the other hand its not the end of the world either. Life goes on, maybe a bit simpler and not as fast paced but that could be a good thing. People fall in love and get married but the days of Parents footing the bill, with a second mortgage on the house for their childrens wedding has passed. Weddings are trending down in size and cost.
Fewer bridal couples are inviting the second and third cousins of the clan. In fact more and more couples are heading south.
Yep ,South to the sun, blue water, and less worry. Less worry because they do not have to create a wedding ceremony and reception that rivals the Future King of England.
The word elopement has come back into vogue. Beach weddings, boat weddings, natural weddings are replacing the 100 to 300 guest ceremonies and receptions.

Where is it written that you have to be stressed, broke, tired and disappointed to have a really really, thank the heavens, wedding. It isn’t and you don’t have to be any of the above.
Just take the first step and look. Like I have always said Google is a girls best friend.
Pick a location. (Hint St.Thomas is a U.S Territory.) What would you really consider the dream location? Its pretty hard to not pick warm climate, sandy beaches, sunny sky and blue water all year around.
Then pick a date, if you want guest, send save the date cards. If you don’t, just get the marriage license and plan for the two of you. Regardless if you are have a small elopement or a ceremony with close family and friends you cannot beat the destination wedding for putting some romance and love in a less stress full setting.
Best of all I can do it all for you. Really! just call me!
