Let's Shape Up

Hello all you prospective brides and grooms...or wanna be brides and grooms. Summer is a great time for weddings and the weather is right for all your favorite places for a honeymoon. So what are you waiting for?

A summer honeymoon is probably going to involve a bathing suit, and a bathing suit requires, or at least suggests, a body that will be the best you can make it.

Have you heard about the latest method of getting rid of those bulges that just won't get it in the new bathing suit. It is called coolsculpting. It uses a new devise which cools the selected area to the point that your body will slowly eliminate the fat over a few months time. There is no cutting or needles.Just the cooling equipment.

At www.coolsculpting.com they explain their 12 weeks to change program. Take a chance and check it out if you have a few little bulges you would like to make go away. For information on their 12 week program click here.

While you're checking all this out be sure to visit their facebook page and Like them.

I am not guaranteeing Coolsculpting or this procedure, just sharing a little info which I have come across in my great web searching. Isn't it amazing all the stuff that is available to us 24 7. I think it is wonderful.

If you are all ready to say "I do", and if you would like to have your wedding on one of our beautiful south Florida beaches give me a call or e-mail me. Short notice is OK. If I have the time open and you give me an hour or so I will provide you with a wonderful, memorable wedding ceremony.

The weekend of weddings

Mother's Day weekend was a weekend of weddings for me. My weekend started on Friday evening, on the beach with Danielle and Jason. Jason had just returned from over seas with his National Guard unit. After the wedding I drove them down to the Hollywood Broadwalk where they were going to have their wedding dinner at one of the many restaurants which sit right on the walkway with the ocean just steps away.
It is a beautiful place to "people watch" anytime and it can be a very romantic location for newlyweds.
As with all my brides and grooms I enjoyed getting to meet them and to spend a little part of their special day.

My second weekend wedding was that of Anna and Paul. They choose Fern Forest in Coconut Creek for both their wedding ceremony and for their reception. If you live in the Fort Lauderdale area and you would like a "Nature" type wedding Fern Forest might be for you. They have a beautiful covered over, open space for the ceremony which feels like you are above the forest and then the reception was held in a enclosed room one level up. The room is really nice and big with a wonderful kitchen and of course they have the tables, chairs and a portable dance floor.
My grandsons, Spencer and Chase set the room up and then broke it down after the reception. If you need a good set up crew give me a call.
Anna and Paul had a beautiful wedding ceremony including a reading by a best friend and a solo by another.
The food for the reception was provided by a lady who does Cuban food. Great.(see my website http://www.thesimplewedding.com for information for contacting the service providers I meet and recommend.

Sunday morning I started off with a beach wedding on Fort Lauderdale beach. It was already hot by 10:00AM when we met by the Yankee Clipper hotel on A1A. The beach crowd wasn't too bad at that hour but it was filling up fast.
This couple, Corina and Chris came from Texas to be married. Their guests included the grooms mother and I believe the bride's sister and her son. They were really a nice group and as in almost every wedding there was an abundance of love filling the air. Corina told me before the wedding that they would only be doing the bride's ring because they had not been able to find a ring large enough for the groom. When I talked to Corina after they had returned home to Texas she said they were still looking for that large ring.She told me the size and I didn't even know rings came in a size so large.

Onward to number four on my mother's day weekend.This one was so cute. Sharla and Dante had decided to surprise their families with a mother's day wedding. I arrived prior to the family members and when they arrived, after the family hugs and kisses I was introduced as "Donna marrieds people". The look I received was "well that's nice". It went right over everyone's head for awhile until Dante said something like "Sharla and I are getting married today, Donna is here to marry us". The looks of pleasure and surprise were priceless. This lovely couple had already started their family. They were already the parents of a beautiful little baby boy named Dante, for his father.
This wedding took place in a beautiful condo apartment overlooking the intra coastal waterway at Sunrise Blvd. Great view of the water and also Birch State Park just across the street.

And so to number five. Back to the beach, this time just on the south side of the Yankee Clipper. Actually we walked through the Marriott hotel (which sits on the beach back from A1A) to their beach for the wedding. It is a nice location and the pool area of the Marriott is a great place for pictures with waterfalls and different levels around the pool.
Donna and Tom came down from Chicago for their beach wedding. They were going to Turks and Cacos(s) Islands for their honeymoon.
They had an interesting story to share about how they met. Donna had recently moved to Chicago when she went out one night and got lost. She stopped to ask for help with directions. Tom gave her directions and the rest is now history. It seems like the night out for Tom was unusual so perhaps this was fate. You know if it's meant to be it will be. How do you feel about that?

My granddaughter Sarah, who works as my photographer (she didn't take the pictures in this article, I took them with my Iphone.) did the photography for Anna and Paul and then for Donna and Tom.

The pictures at the top of this post are from left to right:Sharla and Dante, Corina and Chris (and me), Jason and Danielle and Donna and Tom. I didn't get a picture of Anna and Paul but I did take a picture of the setup of their reception room at Fern Forest. Sarah has promised some pictures so as soon as I get them I will post them.

Please send interesting stories about your wedding or a wedding you have attended.

Remember if you are planning a wedding in south Florida and you need an officiant, a photographer or a good setup crew give me a call 954-254-6216 or email me mckei@earthlink.net

More on Key Biscayne Wedding

In yesterday's blog I failed to mention the bride and groom. I only gave you the dog's name. Well here they are again. It's Doug and Rita. What a lovely couple they are. I had met them only once before the day of the wedding but by the end of the wedding day, after taking them up on their generous offer to join them and their friends at their reception, I felt that I had known them for years.

I think the picture I have used here is so beautiful and so "Florida" . I want to thank Wick Beavers photographer for giving me the opportunity to use some of his pictures. Wick is a well know and acclaimed photographer doing high end photography and if you visit his site www.wickbeaver.com I think you will be impressed. I had a great time getting to know him a little at the reception.

I will be performing a wedding ceremony this afternoon. At the moment I don't know if it will be a home or a park wedding. Our weather, usually so nice and warm is now cold, cold, cold. I will be prepared for an inside or an outside wedding. The choice belongs to the bride and groom.

I'll let you know about it in my next blog.
