Have you ever imagined staying aboard a beautiful Yacht for your Honeymoon or an intimate wedding ceremony?

Or having your Bachelor/Bachelorette party on a Yacht?

Most people end up staying in the same old generic hotel room in the hustle and bustle of downtown. When was the last time you called a family member or friend and said, “You should see this place, it’s fantastic!”

Plan to spend your special occasion on one of our beautifully appointed “Boat Bed & Breakfast” yachts, moored at the secluded Shelter Cove Marina. For about the same price as a hotel room you can be sleeping on the water in San Diego’s famous America’s Cup Harbor. With all of our yachts you are not renting a room, you are living in a fully functional sailing ship or motor yacht that have long histories of ocean passages and adventures.

Experience what it is really like to live at sea.

Right here in Malibu

he asked...she said yes!

This beautiful couple shares their proposal story with us.

logan & shannon

This past December 25, 2015, Logan and I took our Christmas trip to Southern California to visit his family. He was eagerly telling me that we needed to go to the beach to send a Christmas picture to my family. If you know Logan, getting him to take pictures is a process so I just kept saying "Obviously, we are going to the beach, we always do." Something was fishy but I didn't think twice about it.

Christmas Day arrives and as we hopped off the plane it seemed like we just couldn't get down to the beach fast enough for Logan. As we arrive to the beach and gaze at the beauty of the ocean. Logan stops and says "Whoa! Did you see that dolphin?" and me being the gullible person I am, starts searching. After a couple minutes and to my despair there was no dolphin, so I turn to tell Logan about my disappointment to not finding a dolphin, and there he is on one knee with this incredible driftwood box engraved with "L & S 12/25/15" and the most beautiful ring inside.

Cue the tears ladies, I was shocked and excited. I could tell he was nervous since he could barely say a word, and so thankful that this man who was clearly made for me wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. The rest is just history as we excitedly plan our big day. We can't wait to spend the rest of our days laughing together, experiencing new things, and loving each other with all we've got.

Why a Destination Wedding might be the right choice for YOU!

Written by: DC Vekic, founder of Cosmopolitan Travels, Inc.

Destination weddings have gained in popularity in recent years. Today, this hip and modern alternative allows couples to combine the best of a romantic honeymoon with a more traditional ceremony, saving money in the process. By combining wedding and honeymoon, you can afford to go to that dream honeymoon location. Also, if your guest-list consists of 300 names, you can be sure to cut that to about 75-100 names without offending anyone. Regular banquet halls will serve you uninspired salmon or chicken choice for about $100-120 per person, while in the Caribbean or Mexico you can serve a four course meal with steak and seafood for $40-75 per person.

Destinations weddings tend to be smaller, more intimate events. They also tend to last a few days, giving you and your intended plenty of opportunity to spend time with your guests. Although not all of your invited guests will be able to travel due to scheduling and budgetary concerns, those who can attend interact more with each other and their hosts than at a traditional wedding and return feeling more a part of your life and that special day.

Many resorts offer special packages to bride and groom to visit the resort and meet with the wedding vendors for free.

Whether they call it “Test-drive your WeddingMoon” or “Bridal Dress Rehearsal”, there are 3-4 night packages that a couple books for $399-$599, and if they end up booking a wedding on

'Today, this hip and modern alternative allows couples to combine the best of a romantic honeymoon with a more traditional ceremony, saving money in the process. " the spot, the $399-599 they spend will be applied towards their wedding cost. Your travel agent will be able to advise you of resorts who are offering these services. Always hire a travel agent to coordinate your wedding. There are several types of group contracts and your travel agent will be able to explain pros and cons of each contract. Your travel agent will be dealing with guests’ deposits and payments, and will be able to negotiate some free rooms, upgrades and other amenities.

starting new trends..

THE FATHER REVEAL The first look is a special moment staged between the bride and groom. It is intended for the couple to see each other all dressed up in tux and gown before their ceremony. This creates the perfect opportunity to capture the once in a lifetime excitement, anticipation, and emotions of the soon to be newlyweds on their wedding day.

However, there is also a very special moment that brides share with their fathers before taking the grand walk down the aisle. In this moment comes excitement, tears, and many more joyful emotions. The father reveal is the captured moment of emotions a father expresses when seeing his daughter as a bride for the first time.

Wedding Band for your Man! Congratulations on your engagement! Now it's time to find your man his wedding band! Follow these tips below to find the perfect band he will love!

Written by: Dean Abell of Sarah Leonard Jewelers

JEWELERS

1. Learn! Learn! Learn!

With so many new metals out there be sure you understand the differences. For example, many contemporary metals (like titanium and tungsten) can not be sized, and platinum and palladium will not change color over time the way white gold will and can be polished any time.

2. Recognize the differences!

Not all 6mm bands are the same!

Some are lightweight, others are comfort fit, and some are simply mass produced with inferior quality.

It’s important to feel the band before you purchase to make sure it’s something he’s going to enjoy wearing.

3. Get it customized!

Many wedding bands can be special ordered in whatever metal you want, whatever texture (shiny, matte, hammered, etc), whatever width, etc. Be sure he gets exactly what he wants—he’s going to wear it forever after all!

4. Engrave it!

Some couples decide this together as a way to personalize their wedding bands, but it can also be a special surprise for him if you want to plot secretly with your jeweler.

62 • LABRIDAL.COM Fall/Winter 2016

5. Get matching bands!

Many couples today will get matching bands. Frequently your band is a second “activity” band to wear when not wearing your diamonds. This is great for travelling, hiking, going to the beach, etc. There are some

collections, TACORI for example, that have matching details that still come in very feminine and masculine versions.

6. Try on different bands!

Many guys assume it’s going to be easy to find a band they like. But once they start trying things on they realize how many incredible options that are that will reflect his personality and style. Give yourself plenty of time (two months minimum to ensure no stress!) in case you want to special order something (which can frequently take 4 weeks or more from designers). You don’t want your man to settle for anything less than the best when it comes to symbolizing your love…

Marriage Licenses

BY LINDSAY GOWER It’s the must-have accessory for every bride: A Marriage License! So let’s review the basics you need to know about getting licensed to wed.

Getting the License Both bride and groom must go, in person together, to a County Clerk’s office. In California, you can go to the Clerk’s Office in any county; it does not need to be the county in which you are having the wedding. Neither of you needs to be a California resident to apply for a California marriage license. No blood test or medical exam is required and there is no waiting period: You apply, pay, and receive the license then and there.

You both must: • Be at least 18 years old. If you’re younger, you need consent of parent or guardian.

• Bring a government- issued valid picture ID (such as a driver’s license) that includes your full legal name and date of birth.

• If you have been married before, bring Proof of Dissolution. You cannot apply for a marriage license if you are married, even if your divorce is almost final.

What to Do With the License You receive an unsigned license. Here’s what makes it an official wedding certificate: • Get married within 90 days of the date the license is issued!

• Before the wedding, give the license to the person who’ll officiate at the ceremony. The officiant is required to review the license before conducting the ceremony. It’s a good idea to bring it to the rehearsal for go over it with the officiant, and of course bring it to the wedding.

• After the ceremony, the officiant will complete and sign the license, and have it signed by bride, groom, and at least one witness.

• The officiant will return the license to the County Clerk’s office within 10 days of the ceremony, so it can be officially recorded. Once recorded, you can buy a copy of your wedding certificate (depending on the county, you don’t receive one automatically).

IN LOS ANGELES, YOU CAN APPLY FOR A MARRIAGE LICENSE ONLINE. IT’S EASY AND SAVES TIME! Once you complete the online application you can come to the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk headquarters in Norwalk or go to any one of our branch offices to pick up your marriage license, pay the license fee, and arrange for a civil marriage ceremony, if desired. Call or visit any of the branches listed below for further details.

Simply Amazing. Simply Soli.

Your wedding day is you and your spouse’s first, most public and forever memorable expression of your love for one another. Every little detail you strive to make sure it is all exactly what you want. All of this seems manageable enough, until you get to the music. What kind of music? Live musicians? A DJ just playing recorded songs? Who can help me with this? So much magic is missed when the DJ alone tries to express through recordings what only live professional musicians are able to provide. Here at Soli Entertainment,

we are all established music industry professionals. From traditional classical weddings in the chapel, to rock-weddings in a warehouse, and everything in between. Soli Entertainment provides you with the best of all kinds and styles of musicians, bands, DJ’s and live music entertainment for your special event. After 10 years of providing the finest live music entertainment around, Soli Entertainment does it all, magnificently.

You have a beautiful love to share with the world. Let Soli Entertainment help you express and share that love by providing the Soundtrack to Your Life!
