Let's Get Married!

The California Supreme Court made history a few months ago and so my first post had to be about getting married. I am getting married next June and am currently conflicted on if we should plan to have every one we know attend, or just keep it simple. There are some great deals right now in California for those who want to "keep it simple." You can get a package deal with a hotel, and save a lot of work planning, yet keeping it elegant and memorable.


Suprise your sweetheart with a ceremony in Napa Valley, California, at the Churchill Manor. I have to say that they have taken all of the work out of it and make wedding planning look as easy as just showing up! They have great prices for a ceremony of two to six people, up to 150 people. Celebrate by horseback riding or boating during your stay at the Manor, a great way to show the one you love how much you can't wait to experience a life married to them.


Hey Ladies, I stumbled upon this one in Palm Springs that's especially beautiful. It's called Casitas Laquita and boasts a Indian/southwestern vibe. The rooms have kitchens and the atmosphere is defiantly comfortably accommodating. Get married on the grounds of this fabulous resort and stay in the romance suite to make your stay something you will never forget. The staff will help you plan a wedding to suite your wants, with catering and music available if you desire.


For those of you who like a peaceful, spa-like environment, exchange vows at the Gaige House in Sanoma. Elope in style with a package already for you to reserve, or rent the whole hotel for your family and friends to share a weekend dedicated to your love for each other. Don't forget to take advantage of the fact that you will get married in beautiful wine country and take in a tour of a winery to relax before the big day.


Planning that special day can be chaotic in many ways and sometimes to find peace in the list of things to do we should step back and let someone else take over. I don't know how many times I have thought about loading up an overnight bag and just running off to a hotel like these to elope. Sometimes being spontaneous can yield the same perfect day, that months of planning a wedding will hopefully produce.
