How to Make Your Legal Ceremony Unforgettable:

1. Make it different from the other ceremony you are having

  • No rings – Sarah & Steven tied together three cords!
  • Different music
  • Casual
  • Not at courthouse 
  • Vows
  • Do something special AFTER the ceremony! Like a honeymoon staycation at Hotel Landing!

2. Keep it a secret

  • Makes the other one still special
  • Gives a purpose to both
  • Meant it was smaller

3. Know that you get to celebrate TWICE

  • Two anniversary dates
  • Remember it might be legal, but whatever you did not like you get to do again! Tune in to hear examples of what Sarah liked and what she didn’t like!
  • Two dresses

Don’t get into a destination wedding alone!
