Happy weddings

About few years ago, we had an instant trip to Cebu to attend my nephew’s wedding. We were quite unprepared, did some last minute important delegation of tasks, especially requesting a couple to sleep at our house and watch it for us while we were away. Thank God, the wedding, and our trip, was a success. And it was a happy family affair indeed.

Planning and preparing for the wedding can be stressful for most couples, especially if there are time and budget constraints. Having a smooth and well-organized event is what every couple wishes for; a wedding day without the unnecessary blunders and bloopers. But in the end, what’s truly more important is the marriage, not the wedding. The countless days that come after the wedding, blissful or otherwise, are part of a lifetime commitment that married couples should prepare for the most.

Some couples dream and plan for the best wedding venue and even the wedding theme. Beach weddings have always been the popular choice for those who would like their special day to be different. Planning for such weddings may seem difficult, but there are beach hotels and resorts that specialize in this. For instance, Namale Fiji Resort and Spa is dedicated to helping their clients bring to reality their dream beach weddings. They help in the preparation of each detail, from trip planning to the wedding banquet. They are associated with top companies, vendors, suppliers and service providers to provide the best package for their clients for a stress-free beach wedding in Fiji.

Whether it’s Fiji, Boracay, or Hawaii, most island resorts provide wedding packages for couples with affordable rates; it really depends on the budget and the number of guests. For intimate beach weddings, about 20 guests for the wedding ceremony and reception will do.

Most couples dream of their wedding day to be uniquely celebrated. And what better place to have it than being with the allure of nature, by the seaside. Some churches don’t allow beach wedding ceremonies though. In this case, the couple can still have their reception at the resort, kick off their heels and enjoy the beach after the church ceremony.

What’s the best wedding theme and venue for you?
