Unusual places to marry *Aisle 3"

Couples frequently meet at all sorts of places, sometimes even while shopping for dinner.  This is the first I've heard of a couple marrying in a supermarket, but it just happened in Coral Springs this past weekend.  No "spring chickens" here either:

A gentle reminder that love is all around us.

That's right.  Check out the whole list here:

The World's Best Places to spend Christmas

And since your considering Key West, let me add Key West is also a wonderful

place for a lovely honeymoon or "weddingmoon" if you would like to consider 

combining both your Key West wedding and honeymoon.  What could be better?

Key West News-White Christmas in the Keys!

Local musician Howard Livingston (of the Howard Livingston and Mile Marker 24 Band fame) family wins a "White Christmas" from the Weather Channel.  Please click below for the official announcement:

Congratulations!

The Proposal?

Before you can say "I Do", you must first ask.  How did that go?  Was there a mutual "understanding" already?  Was it spontaneous or well planned?  Where were you and how did you partner react?  It's something I'm sure you'll never forget, so please  take a few minutes and share.  For each story, 200-400 words please, I'll add an additional 1/2 hour of digital photography to the package you've purchased.  If you are not planning a Key West "I Do" destination wedding, but just want to share your story, I'll draw from the list of email addresses once each quarter (next drawing February 17, 2010) and donate $25 in your name to the Florida Keys SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
