Your Unique Wedding,
Say I do with a twist!

centuries, there were really only two options: plan a
traditional wedding or elope. Today's brides and grooms are
realizing that there are many other choices.
Your Unique Wedding highlights
five types of non-traditional weddings. You'll learn how
to plan a private elopement, invite your family and
friends to a destination wedding, surprise your guests on
your wedding day, select and prepare for a theme wedding,
and consider an adventure wedding by land, sea, or air.
You'll find the checklists, planning tips, resource lists,
and personal stories of other unique wedding couples to be
inspirational.

Let's Elope:
Definitive Guide to Eloping, Destination Weddings and Other
Creative Wedding Options
by Scott Shaw,
Scott Shaw, Lynn Beaham
Can't cope? Elope!
Admit it. You always thought eloping sounded kind of
romantic, right? Too bad everyone expects you to have The
Big Wedding — the kind you always thought you wanted. So now
that you're engaged and knee-deep in wedding planning, why
are you secretly wishing you could just fly off to a
tropical island and say your I do's in your bathing suit?
Well, you can! There are many different ways to elope — and
not all of them involve running off in the middle of the
night. These days, "eloping" is anything other than a
traditional wedding — from a steps-of-city-hall ceremony
with just the two of you, to a fun-filled "destination
wedding" with your family and closest friends.
Let's Elope is filled with creative ideas for exchanging
your vows in a memorable, personalized way that won't
necessarily cost you a fortune — or your sanity. Let's
Elope includes:
* A brief history of weddings — and why people first
began to elope
* A quiz to help you decide if eloping is right for
you
* Inspiring anecdotes from real-life couples who
chose to opt out of a traditional wedding
* Elopement etiquette, including how to break the
news to your family and friends
* Information on how to plan destination weddings,
country weekend weddings, and surprise weddings
* Up-to-the-minute addresses, phone numbers, and Web
sites for the world's top elopement spots
* Tons of ideas about what to do with all the money
you saved! |
