Wacky Wedding Planner

Idea for Marriage Proposal

I don't usually open my junk mail let alone read it, however I was in a reading mood this weekend and while sorting through mostly junk I came across information from Gondola Romantica which offers "authentic" gondola rides in romantic settings.  I did a little research and discovered their gondolas are imported from Italy and are as authentic as those used in Venice.

They offer a variety of options for cruises on the St. Croix River in Stillwater or Centennial Lakes in Edina.  Short of traveling to Italy, I can't think of a more unique or romantic way to propose or celebrate special occasions.  Check out Gondola Romantica for ideas and pricing. I would love to hear from anyone who has proposed in this fashion either locally or in Italy.  Fete Perfection works with destination couples exploring exotic locations so why not become engaged in Minnesota and travel to Italy to marry?

Not Wedding Related

Download Rollercoaster 1Well maybe this could be...my brother in Ohio sent me photos of the newest and probably most frightening roller coaster making it's debut there this summer.  Initially I thought this isn't wedding related, however knowing people as I do, I expect some thrill-seekers will want to tie the knot on board.  I can only imagine what kind of fees a planner would have to charge to accommodate this request.  Can you imagine a million dollars?  I don't think I could at any price...Download Rollercoaster 2 Download Rollercoaster 3

Holiday Fun

If you are like me, I try to make the holidays very special and different every year.  Although my children are grown and on their own, when the holidays arrive, they're just like little kids again, excited to get together, decorate the tree and relive and laugh at old memories.

This year I planned a two hour limousine light tour courtesy of River City Limousine in Bloomington.  Karen Trondson of River City has been very patient with me while we map out the perfect route.  I was surprised at how reasonably priced a two hour tour is for 8 to 10 people in one of their luxury stretch limousines.  We will view homes with displays of over 100,000 lights.  River City offers tours of two and three hours.

Here are some of the highlights of the tour:

• Holiday music will play on the limousine super sound system
• Holiday videos or a fireplace video will keep everyone entertained throughout the evening
• Caroling is encouraged
• Hot chocolate, apple cider, soft drinks, ice, water and cookies will compliment your personal selection of holiday cheer that you may bring aboard.

I only hope the weather doesn't spoil our fun.

Wacky Fact - Lesson Learned

In an attempt to get the attention of uber-creative advertising folks, and also to get the message across this invitation was strictly hush-hush, I hired mimes to hand out 400 invitations as staff arrived to work one morning just a few weeks ago.  We got their attention alright but I don't think it was positive...I learned the hard way that people are as frightened of mimes as they are of clowns.  Who knew???
Here's a couple photos of the very harmless and very quiet mimes who did an excellent job of keeping a secret!
