Are you a race fan? Do you wanna get married on the beach? If so this is your lucky weekend. This weekend is the 47th annual snow ball derby at five flags speedway in Pensacola Florida. This event goes from December 3 thru December 7 with the main race on December 7 with super late models. This will be a 300 lap race. So you could get married in the morning on December 5 and that the races that night. It’s really easy to get your marriage license. There are several offices to choose from, one which will be convenient to where you were staying. You can get married the same day you purchase your marriage license as long as you are both out of state residents. Make sure to bring your ID like a state driver’s license and know your Social Security number. This time a year we can be on the beach very quickly to help you with your celebration. Elopements are popular during this time of year because it’s a quiet time with not a lot of people on the beach. Today we reached a high of 76 on December 3. If that don’t get you down here I don’t know what will. Seeing you in the sunshine real soon with the one you love.

December 6 there will be a boat parade and you will be able to see it from the boardwalk on Pensacola Beach. I not get married on Pensacola Beach and enjoy the boat parade afterwards. Last year there were about 10 votes in the boat parade and it was really quite pretty. I’d didn’t stay for the fireworks and left early. But it was a fun night and that’s very cool. Santa Claus was delivered to the island by boat to the chorus of screaming children. We enjoyed hot chocolate and mild temperatures. The boat parade was late getting started and I had kinda got bored waiting. Then the boats went way out into the inner coastal waterway, so far out you just about couldn’t see them. But when they came and it was to the delight of everyone. Santa Claus of course is always going to put everyone in the spirit of Christmas. The boats were really decorated nicely some with the LED lights that a become so popular in recent years. When I left that evening I was feeling we relaxed and happy. I hope to see you and this year’s boat parade.  It’s sure to be a good one.

Another beautiful wedding on Pensacola Beach and this one had a bride with a veil that was 10 feet long. I don’t encourage long veils on the beach because if there’s a breeze it can really play havoc on a veil. Today was no different however I did expect it and was watching her very closely. I had also talked about it with her mother and we had agreed that if anything went wrong or she got a snag that stopped her, mom would jump out and get her loose. Something like that happened at not quite that way. As she was coming down the aisle way someone stepped on her veil accidentally. She stopped rather abruptly and mother jumped up and very quickly got the flood off her daughter’s veil. The entire process took place in about 10 seconds. Her mother was extremely fast, I’ve never seen anything like it. Go mom! I was so proud of her. Our bride continued to be escorted down the aisle way with her father who was beaming with pride. They made it all the way down to us without anything further happening and after the ceremony the bride said how happy she was at her mother was looking out for. I couldn’t have agreed more.

December is almost upon us and there’s no stopping the weddings on the beach. People are still coming down here and getting married and you can blame them. The weather is beautiful the beach is just perfect, so where are you. Orange Beach Alabama has been very popular this year with smaller weddings. This year we’ve been doing a lot of weddings with just two people or weddings with 10 people are less. There seems to be a resurgence of couples wanting a more private moment during their ceremony. We did a wedding recently where a groom only one of the two of them at the wedding, ha\im and the bride. It was a lovely wedding and the two of them seemed very relaxed. We do offer a wonderful small package for only $399 where you get a minister and a photographer and 24 photos. It has become by far the most favored wedding package we have. It’s perfect for a small wedding. I think a lot of people get nervous at the thought of having to speak in front of others, especially a large group. Thus the popularity of the small wedding. What ever package you choose will be glad to help you with it. Looking forward to seeing you on the beach this year and the next.

Mazel tov!  Oh my goodness one incredibly adorable beach wedding. The bride was Christian and grooms Jewish and were in Gulf Shores at a private beach house with family and friends in attendance. I hadn’t done a Jewish wedding on the sand in a while and was excited that we were having won this day. The weather really wasn’t cooperating. It was misty and the wind was blowing. We were doing be heart in the sand design, Isle of Love, and I couldn’t put the petals down until I saw the bride walking down the aisle. Their cake and looked just absolutely delicious. The champagne glasses were ready and everyone was excited. I went up to the bride and I got the marriage license and the Jewish glass the groom would stomp on and break at the end of the ceremony. When we finally got started it was misting so much I needed windshield wipers on my glasses. We soldiered on. The bride came down to us and I threw out the rose petals. Fortunately none of them blew away. I had passed out small beach balls for the guests to throw in the air at the end of the ceremony. It with something the bride wanted. The ceremony when off great. We got all the pictures we needed. And then the bottom fell out. By that time everyone was inside celebrating.

This groom said yes to a wedding on Pensacola Beach in Florida. This young man and his beautiful bride had decided to tie the knot and say I do in the sand. They thought of many different places on the Emerald Coast to go to including Destin, Fort Walton Beach or Navarre. But I think they chose to best place for them. The groom wanted to make sure that there weren’t a lot of people around during a ceremony. This groom was a quiet man and one of the moment the very special. Together they chose the Isle of Love which is the heart in the sand package. This is a favorite package for many brides and grooms when there’s just going to be the two of them and they want something small. The groom’s brother did show up two be witness to his brother getting married. The ceremony was so quiet and intimate, loving words whispered in the breeze. The bride wore a beautiful full fall down with a necklace and bracelet made of pearls with a starfish clasp. She also had a starfish comb in her hair. She was just precious. This couple had been together for more than a few years and had decided it was time to get married. I felt so special and proud to be doing this wedding.

Before that beach wedding you’ve always dreamed of begins take time to think about bridesmaids dresses. Recently I saw something really interesting on TV that I thought it would be most excellent for bridesmaids. There is a web site called Vow To Be Chic and it’s a web site where you can rent beautiful bridesmaids dresses. How cool is that? I have seen many many bridesmaids dresses and most of them really can’t be worn again. Some can but only after some alterations are done to the dress so that it can be worn in social situations. Why not rent something chic? I saw dresses that rented for between $100 to $150 that we’re really quite beautiful. You can look good keep it in the budget and then return it. Doesn’t really get any better than that? You don’t have to worry about finding all the right sizes for your bridesmaids and the bridesmaids don’t have to worry about how much the dress this going to cost because being a bridesmaid is not only an honor but it can be expanse of if you’re not careful. This website offers an option for all brides and bridesmaids to sit down together and find great dresses that will fit in to your ceremony. If you go to the wedding resources page you will find information there.

There is nothing cuter than a ring there and flower girl walking together period most of the time these are very young children. And being very young children they can be easily distracted. You may want to consider having an adult walk down with them to keep them focused on the event at hand. Young children can get so excited by the water and the sand that they will forget all about the wedding and play instead. This is quite common and happens regularly. Come on their kids it’s what they did. That’s why we advise to have an adult walk with them to help them along. We try to plan your wedding 1 hour prior to the sun being on the zenith. That way you get great sunset pictures with all the oranges pinks and purples of the sunset. But if your flower role in ring bearer end up running down the beach to get to the water it can throw a kink in things so plan ahead and help the kids out. One time we had a dog ring bearer but that’s a whole other story. It did and well after we got the dog back from running down the beach. So by planning ahead and thinking of these things it can really make a big difference in your wedding going the way that you always envisioned it to. And most flower girls throw out one petal at a time which is normal so we give them a small handful in their baskets to throw. We put the majority of the rose petals were you in the groom will stand.
