Tip of the Day: Handprints in the sand make for a fabulous keepsake photo from your honeymoon. Make it a tradition throughout your marriage to take this snapshot on every vacation. Someday, you can add your children's handprints to the photos, too, and see how they grow with time!
Sure, food feeds us. But for travelers, it does more. Food allows visitors to literally drink in the culture of their surroundings.

Tip of the Day: Add some creativity to your invitation response cards. Instead of using basic "will attend" or "will not attend" wording, have guests check off a box that says "Can't wait to join you for your big day!" or "Will sadly not be able to attend, but will send kisses and congratulations from afar!" This is a fun twist they won't expect when they open up that envelope. Also, some couples include space on the RSVP cards for guests to request their favorite song, write down their best marriage advice, and more. This creates great keepsakes that you can treasure for years to come!
Some couples express themselves by writing their own wedding vows, choosing a meaningful first dance song, or planning a sweet anniversary surprise. But for Nick and Wendy Lowe, their wedding day was the ultimate form of self-expression when they chose to bare all and wed in the nude.
The naturists got married on January 5 at the Wellington Naturist Club in New Zealand. About 120 guests attended the ceremony; half wore clothing, while the other half went au naturel.
"The most impressive thing really was how the guests who were not naturists pretty much just mingled and got along with everybody and didn't give a damn," the groom told Hawke's Bay Today, a local newspaper. (In case you're curious: Yes, they mentioned that it was a clothing-optional event in their wedding invitation, so guests were forewarned!)

We love the country-chic vibe in this beautiful photo!
We can’t believe that there are only a few months to go until our wedding! We're sure you've heard it a million times, but time really does fly when you're engaged. There's still so much do to and so many plans to finalize.
When we had our consultation with David Tutera, one of the areas that we really wanted his help was with our save-the-date announcement. We knew what type of “feeling” we were trying to capture — unique, happy, and playful — but had no definite way of going about it. Ideally, we wanted to incorporate the outdoors and make it seem as if the moment was being captured live.
After he asked a few more questions, David processed the information and came up with a wonderful idea that would incorporate all of our requests. We were beyond excited with the idea.
The next thing to do was to meet with our photographer, Stephen of Stephen Martin Photography.
During the late fall, we met with Stephen, and he was more than willing to help. He had never done a save-the-date of this kind, but he knew the perfect location. With our plan starting to take shape, we wrote a list of supplies and were off to the store.
Six feet of canvas paper, check. A few bottles of washable paints, check. A couple of white long sleeve shirts, already had those. We were surprised that for under 20 dollars, we could make this happen.
When Edwin and I first got engaged, I insisted that we had to have a sweetheart table. There is something idyllic about sitting apart from the crowd and looking around a room filled with all of your loved ones as you take in a few quiet moments as newlyweds. Here are a few pretty stunners to inspire you! Check out place settings and wedding chairs to complete the look.
Edwin and I decided on a long table for the seating arrangements at our intimate wedding in Italy. I love how this sweetheart table is the "center" of the reception, connecting the two longer guest tables.

A sweetheart table in the middle of the woods? That's my definition of wedding heaven. This gorgeous tent has a bohemian vibe—it belongs in my backyard immediately!
