Keep It In Perspective
Weddings are very important days for everyone. But if at your wedding it rains and you have to move the formal pictures indoors, or your wedding dress gets dirty and torn or a hundred other little things happen... Go with the flow it could be far worse.
Take for example this bride and groom from China. The world came crashing down during their wedding literally, during the earthquake!
It is a new wedding season starting next week and we decided to overhaul the look of Michiana Weddings to better serve you, the bride and groom. Since the blog saw the most traffic it is now the index page! As you look at the new site, you will see our traditional links to listings of South Bend, Mishawaka, Elkhart and surrounding area wedding vendors. On the Right is direct links to the websites of some of our favorite wedding vendors! On the right you will also find Planning Your Wedding which are links into our planning articles, be sure to visit them!
Michiana Weddings is about providing you with information about having your wedding in south bend, Notre Dame, Mishawaka, Elkhart, Niles, Edwardsberg, Plymouth, New Carlisle, LaPorte and all of the surrounding areas. Check back often as we will be updating often!
Photo booths now there are some memories. As a kid I was always begging my dad to let me have my picture taken in a photo booth, when we ran across one. As a teenager my friends and I squeezed 8 of us into one and then proceeded to fight over who got the three photos that had everyone's face in it. Then they seemed to disappear... In college my girlfriends and I stumbled across one while on spring break and had way too much late night fun of margaritas and pictures.
Tonight I was blog surfing and stumbled over a too cool idea!
Mrs. Strawberry over on the Wedding Bee had a photo booth at her reception for all the guests to have fun with!
Evidently this is very popular in the big cities on the coasts but I have never heard of it here. What a fun thing to do! Photographers for a lot of people can be intimidating, but I can see where a photo booth, which brings back memories can be just the thing to get fun and personality driven images of your friends and family! Don't get me wrong, professional photography can't be replaced but this is a fantastic addition to your reception celebration and memories.
I don't know as of yet of anyone renting out photo booths in Michiana, I'm going to look into it. If you have had a wedding locally with a photo booth at it, please email me at michianaweddings at ameritech dot net. I'd loved to hear and possibly feature you in an article!
Thanks to a post in the comments I have found this wonderful blog with some excellent ideas on creating wedding related scrapbooks... Avoid those stickers when it's wedding releated! Check it out ladies!
I just posted a new article on Michiana Weddings On August 11, 2007 at Culver Military Academy, Laura Schrage married Christopher Campbell, but on the Wednesday before, an early morning tornado wiped out their reception tent and all the work that had gone into the wedding day so far. Cynthia Basker of Celebrated Events and her team leaped into action to salvage the day.
For the last several months Brides.com has been running a contest for 8 couple who were engaged on the ice of Rockefeller Center last winter. The winning couple will receive a Honeymoon trip to one of the Sandals Resorts. The Honeymoons were documented by members of Wedding and Event Videographer Association, International or WEVA with hidden cameras.
This is so cool for these couples in NY. The ladies are able to see their reaction to their best friend asking them to marry. I wish I had one of my sister's engagement, the look on her face I know would have been priceless since it was a complete surprise.
So ladies, if you have a video of your engagement and would like to share it with everyone, we at Michiana Weddings are offering you the opportunity to post it right here on the internet! Feel free to contact me at michianaweddings at ameritech dot net. Sorry for the cryptic address but we are trying to cut down on the robot spam. Just replace the words with their proper symbols. Or leave a message in the comments and we will post your engagement video for free to share with friends and family.
And if you think you are going to be getting engaged soon give your boy friend a hint you'd like it on video. We have some excellent videographers listed in our vendors area, give them a call!
Embeded is my favorite video from the Brides.com. *wink* *wink*
