Week-End Wedding Resources: June 5th, 2020

We’ll begin with a beautiful thought on love - the most important thing that you’re holding onto right now. Love makes everyone gravitate towards itself and then lifts them to a place where gravity doesn’t exist anymore! Isn’t that how you feel when you are in love? High, up in the clouds? You want to spend most of your time with your soulmate, and you can’t stop thinking about starting a life with him. While your heart still skips a beat when he’s around, things have gotten serious and bigger ever since he proposed! From getting a simple thought, you graduated to daydreaming about all those things that you’ll do together, for the rest of your lives. And you feel even more in love with him after browsing through the boundless love quotes on Pinterest or Instagram, like you’ve entered a whole new world! 

We know you are at that stage where you just can’t wait anymore to begin a whole new chapter of your life with your sweetheart. But life had other plans. And you are left waiting and trying to make sense of it all. You are carefully juggling through it all and trying to plan for your dream wedding with all your heart. Your resources are limited now, but you are not letting that thing steal the thunder away! And while you wait for that perfect day to finally happen, we are there, right by your side, bringing you information that could make a difference. So, grab your Quarantini and get reading!

Have your grand wedding plans changed to a backyard wedding? Or have you decided to flow with the river of micro-weddings and opt for one right in your backyard? We are absolute fans of backyard weddings, as the feeling of homeliness and intimacy is resonated everywhere around. As they say, there’s no place like home! You can personalize and add your own elements to it, like no other wedding. Backyard weddings are budget-friendly as well, so you end up saving a lot of money (hello exotic honeymoon destinations!). Moreover, there is a sentimental value that is attached to backyard weddings as it’s great to say your ‘I dos’ right behind the room you owe your childhood and younger years to! However, there are a few things that have to be kept in mind while planning a wedding in the backyard. Things like permits might not sound like a necessity to you, but it's imperative to check with the county beforehand. Check out the link below to get a fair idea before you plan.

Love is beautiful. Two people meet (or don’t even get a chance to meet!) and start to like each other so much that they can’t imagine their lives without the other. They grow inseparable and, thus, love is born. And love does not see caste, sex, age, or race. Supreme Court’s legendary ruling in 2015 to lift the ban on same-sex weddings was a breath of fresh air for love. It took a sigh of relief and so did many LGBTQ couples who were waiting for this with bated breath! June marks Pride Month and Brides has compiled a collection of swoon-worthy photos (with perfect little stories behind them) of elated LGBTQ couples who had their wedding dreams come alive, after fighting for them for years and decades. From those precious tears of joy to the first dance to a song that a couple danced to secretly at one time, life has come a full circle for them. Take a look and witness the glory of love!
