Hey all!  I was talking to one of the swim parents at the pool (where else?!?) the other night.  She and her husband had just attended a Spanish wedding in Dallas where a cool tradition was taking place.  Instead of gifts and monies in envelopes the guests provided sponsorships for the wedding!  Some sponsored the florist, some the photographer, some the caterer, some the dj, etc.  Essentially the wedding was partially paid for by the attendees.  What a great way to help a newly married couple defray some of the high costs of a wedding day!  Of course, they don't get all the cool gifts - but who needs three toaster ovens anyways?!  Maybe someone should start this here! 

On another note Scott and I have been discussing last weeks wedding show at the Clarion Riverside.  We met a couple who we would love to photograph - the groom to be is an ex-marine!  Scott is ex-navy and I am ex-army so of course we hit it off immediately.  Unfortunately there wedding date is July 3rd, 2009 and we are already booked!  Real bummer!  Then we started thinking...  We need to offer a discount for active military members!  So, from now on all active military from each of the branches of service will enjoy a $250 discount for our services!  Give us a call!
