With all the big celebrity engagements Ive been reading about online recently (Drew Barrymore & Will Kopelman, Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biehl), I started thinking about how great it might actually be to plan a secret wedding...a secret destination wedding even. Benefits: No stress and "opinions" from family friends- Can you imagine? You can plan in peace and plan what you truly want. When it comes to the actual wedding your guests will just be excited that they're a part of the celebration. It's an automatic guest list (and cost) reducer- You'd only invite the most dear to you. Meaning that you get to have the most intimate and sincere celebration. No worries about not inviting that 3rd cousin you haven't seen in 8 years. Don't worry, you can still celebrate with everyone; 2 days before you tie the knot mail out your announcement with an invitation to a post wedding party at home. At the party, display some of your favorite images of the day and play your wedding ceremony (for this reason I highly suggest a pro wedding videographer who can do a quick edit) and wear your dress again (or buy a 2nd dress!). - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
