Welcome Spring with Daffodils
Now that it’s March, I am thinking ahead to all things spring but especially to flowers. If you’re having a March wedding and still deciding on types of flowers for the event, how about incorporating the birth flower of March, the daffodil? Daffodils come in a variety of color combinations like yellow and white, yellow and orange, white and orange or just yellow. I just love how they add a pop of warm sunshine to centerpieces and bouquets.
I also love the versatility daffodils provide. Whether used in a large group alone or combined with other flowers or fruits, they really convey the feeling of spring, don’t you think?

Love is in the Air
Have you seen the car commercial where a couple is driving around and the guy is desperately trying to get his girlfriend to see his airplane banner proposal? It reminds me of a recently engaged friend, Jackie, whose fiancé, Josh, did one even better.
While on their deck, celebrating the one year anniversary of moving into their house, a plane flies by with a romantic proposal message. Jackie accepts and then a helicopter begins to get closer, landing in the grassy area in their backyard. A surprised Jackie can’t believe her eyes when the copter picks them up for a fabulous night in New York City to celebrate. How romantic is that!
Josh even videotaped his thoughts about the proposal and the night’s events as they unfolded for YouTube making certain it’s a proposal they’ll never forget. Congratulations guys!
Anyone have a unique proposal story to share?

Bare Naked Nuptials
I’ve written about many unique wedding locations and unusual proposals over the years, but I’ve never come across a more unusual wedding ceremony than the one that just took place on Valentine’s Day at Hedonism II in Negril, Jamaica. The resort had a wedding contest for ten lucky winners. The prize…to wed in the nude at the resort. Yes, you read that right. Ten lucky couples were married in the nude, naked, without any clothes on, not a gown or tux in sight!
Now I don’t know about you, but I would never be adventurous enough, uninhibited enough or confident enough to participate in a group nude wedding but kudos to those winning couples who were. They all won a complimentary bachelor/bachelorette party, wedding, and four-night stay at the resort. Not so bad, and they didn’t have to stress about what to wear.
You really couldn’t invite your parents or grandparents to that event though, could you?

Retirement Home Romance
In honor of Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d share this incredible love story I came across on the Today show’s website. William and Margaret were friends years ago but lost touch with each other. Living in the same retirement home, they reunited and recently married…at age 91. As Margaret says, “It’s never too late.”
It’s so wonderful that they found each other after all those years and are able to share the rest of their lives together. They are a great looking couple and look so happy together. Congratulations to them and Happy Valentine’s Day to all!
Here’s their story.
