I LOVE destination weddings. And I've planned a lot of them over the years. In fact, my own wedding was a destination wedding.
From a planning standpoint, I love them because they often provide a challenge, whether it's a time difference, language, local customs, or all three. I also love that I get to discover new vendors and incorporate different cultures and elements into the events I plan.
From a guest experience standpoint, I think destination weddings are awesome. Guests always seem a little more relaxed and ready to party when they arrive to the destination. They are often eager to explore this new place and experience everything the city/island/country has to offer. If you've planned a great weekend itinerary (ahem... that's where we come in!), your guests will depart from the wedding weekend with wonderful memories and experiences.
However, if destination weddings aren't expertly planned and thought through, they can be stressful for you and not so enjoyable for your guests. To avoid this catastrophe (you want everyone to be stress-free and have fun, don't you?), consider the list below:
1 - Keep travel times in mind.
If most of the people on your guests list lives in Dubai, traveling all the way to Washington, DC for your wedding is a pretty long haul. Will a lot of people do it? Yes. They love and care about you and will probably make the trip, perhaps pairing it with a longer stay to see other sights in the States.
But, a wedding in Europe might be a happy medium for everyone. It's a shorter flight for the guests from Dubai and it's an easy flight from the East coast of the U.S.
So when you're picking you destination, keep your guests' travel times in mind. It's the considerate thing to do and they will appreciate it.
2 - Consider the seasons/time of year wherever you're planning on celebrating.
Want to have a destination wedding in Puerto Rico during hurricane season? That might not be such a good idea. The same goes for celebrating in Hawaii during the rainy season.
Keep in mind the area's weather patterns and plan accordingly. Will it be unbearably hot? Way too cold? It's impossible to predict the weather, but avoiding hurricane season and not planning a wedding in Palm Springs at noon in the middle of August just makes common sense.
3 - Consider local customs.
When you plan a wedding in a different country, you must be mindful of that country's customs.
When I planned an event in Istanbul, every meeting with vendors or shopkeepers we were buying goods from began with tea. I don't drink a lot of tea on a regular basis, but in Istanbul I had to (it is considered rude not to partake).
Be considerate and open to learning the local customs -- that is one of the reasons you chose to celebrate elsewhere, right?
It also doesn't hurt to educate your guests about these customs. A little info sheet in their welcome bag is often a nice touch.
4 - Think about where you're going to get your marriage license.
Getting a marriage license abroad is often quite difficult. In places like the Dominican Republic it's almost impossible.
Don't forget about this important detail and come back from your wedding celebration without actually being married. Think about where you're going to get your marriage license (usually your home state is the easiest way to go) and fill out the appropriate paperwork.
5 - Think about dietary restrictions.
Do you keep Kosher and want to get married in Mexico? It's not impossible to have a Kosher wedding South of the border, but it is difficult. Be prepared to handle some complicated logistics and shell out more money for a Kosher meal.
If you and your guests are vegan, be prepared to explain that concept multiple times to hotel, catering and venue staff.
These are just two examples of how dietary restrictions can pose challenges when celebrating in other countries. While it's not impossible to travel and celebrate in other places of the country and world with dietary restrictions, consider them when you're picking a celebration destination. And be prepared to spend a lot of time talking and emailing about food during the wedding planning process. This is one of those places where, quite frankly, a wedding planner is indispensable because he/she can keep an eye out for any food-related transgressions and correct them immediately. Do you really want to explain to Chef Alexopoulos for the umpteenth time that lamb is not vegetarian? (Remember that scene from My Big Fat Greek Wedding?)
6 - Transportation will become a big line item in your budget.
There are rare cases when a destination wedding budget does not include a line item for transportation, so be prepared to spend some money here.
You typically need to transport guests from the hotel to the ceremony and/or reception site(s) and from the various weekend events. Even if they have their own cars and can drive to the celebrations, I'm sure you don't want anyone to drive inebriated, and thus are almost obligated to provide a method of transportation for them.
Transportation is one of those so-not-sexy items that is practical and needed. Keep it in mind.
7 - Be prepared to be flexible.
The flowers you want may not be in season. The chef at the resort may not have access to the particular ingredients you really want. The chairs available for rent might not be something you like.
When you're planning a destination wedding, you need to be flexible.
You're often limited in what you can have abroad, and while I have organized some truly over the top celebrations where we put containers full of chairs on ships bound for a certain Caribbean island, you don't always have to go to such lengths and expense. If you're flexible, chances are you can arrive at a happy medium with what's available locally. But when you're not...
8 - Be prepared to fly some items in -- and pay for the shipping on those.
You will inevitably have a few items that you will need to ship to your destination (or pack in an enormous suitcase). Destination wedding planners are known for traveling with insane amounts of luggage because we pack suitcases full of day-of print material, items that couldn't be shipped to the destination in time, family valuables, binders with schedules, contact sheets, vendor agreements, etc.
While shipping costs are involved in any wedding or event I plan, they are usually higher for destination events. Especially if the client wants something specific that is only available in one place (i.e. cookies from a specific bakery in Georgetown).
9 - You usually need to turn your wedding into a destination wedding weekend.
If you have asked everyone to travel from near and far to celebrate with you, it's only fitting to organize an event to welcome them to the destination. It's also great to organize a day-after brunch before everyone leaves as a nice send-off. This easily turns a destination wedding into a destination wedding weekend, which involve more planning and thought.
One huge takeaway from wedding weekends is that most formalities and hellos get out of the way the night before the wedding so on the day of the wedding most guests are more relaxed and the bride and groom tend to enjoy their wedding even more (and event get to eat!) because they're not running around trying to say hello to everyone.
Please Note: If you are planning on hosting a brunch the day after your wedding, or a dinner the night before, there is no way to tactfully disinvite wedding guests to these events. If everyone has traveled from near and far to celebrate with you, it's only polite to invite them to whatever other events you're planning. If you don't, it will result in some kind of drama when one person who is invited to the brunch inevitably spills the beans to another who was not invited.
If you'd like to keep your rehearsal dinner small and intimate, consider hosting a dessert reception for your guests after your dinner. Or perhaps host your rehearsal dinner a night earlier so you can involve everyone in a "welcome dinner" the day before the wedding.
10 - Keep your guests comfortable and informed.
Guest experience is important. It is one of our core beliefs here at LIG Events. And nowhere is the guest experience more important than at a destination wedding.
When guests have all traveled from around the world to celebrate with you, we better make sure they are happy, comfortable and informed.
You wouldn't like to arrive in an unknown or foreign place and not have a comfortable place to stay or know where you're supposed to be and when for the planned celebrations.
Think about your guests and consider their experience so that your destination wedding will be a fun and memorable experience for everyone involved.

Found a perfect match but Mangal dosh becoming a bone of contention- Authentic Manglik Dosh Nivaran
Found the correct match but still problems
Most of the people are looking after a suitable partner and getting a happily married life and a loving partner who suits the person and is able to satisfy the other in all aspects of a happily married life.
It is said that the Supreme Lord decides the destiny of each person and awards him the desired partner, his lover of life. Since the destiny is made by our past deeds, we have to suffer the reactions of the same. There are many people in the world who are unable to get this blessing of the lord.
Marriage or Vivaha Sanskar is one of the purificatory of samskars of a person who is born as per 16 Vedic purificatory process called Shodash-Sanskars.
But still, there are a few persons who are born lucky to have a good life partner but due to a cruel planet named Mars or Mangal, the destiny of the person is put to a stake since he becomes Manglik
This manglik dosh is the cause which can cause a huge upheaval in the life of the person. Even if he is about to get a nice life partner, this manglik dosh can spoil his married life to a very high extent.
Manglik Dosh in Kundali
As per Parashar Samhita, there are 12 parts or house in Kundali. Each of them has it's own significance. When the planet Mangal is placed in six places 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 and 12, it is said to be in Manglik Dosh.
It is also termed as Bhauma dosha, Kuja dosha and Angaraka dosh in astrological terminology. Manglik Kundali is the cause of all the problems in the married life and if not balanced properly can create problems to such an extent like death of one of the partner.
Problems created by Manglik Dosh
- Both the genders can be Manglik.
- The planet of Mars represents respect, energy, ego and self-esteem. A Mangalik Dosha person has a volatile temper.
- Manglik ones face a lot of problems in adjusting with their partners.
- The energy of Manglik individuals can be compared to that of fire. Therefore this energy needs to be used in the right direction and in doing something constructive else they can easily delve into destructive work
- Mangal Dosha affects the married life, mental state, and also leads to financial loss.
Specific Manglik Dosh in Kundali house
- 1st house: Unnecessary conflicts, tension, distress, separation or even divorce.
- 2nd house: Obstacles in the married life and the professional life.
- 4th house: Frequent switching of jobs and also will not be successful professionally.
- 7th house: Unable to maintain cordial relationship with family members. Also this person will be very dominating and dictating over his or her partner and s/he might also have many partners.
- 8th house: Lazy and will not be able to maintain a rapport with his or her elders and thus will lose paternal property.
Mangal Dosh Nivaran Puja
In the shastras, there is mention of numerous remedies for relief from Mangal Dosha and many so-called astrologers tell that they can give something which can give instant relief from this Manglik Dosha but as per the commonly available shastras, there is no such claim to get permanent relief using petty things.
We at #Shubhpuja, have request highly qualified acharyas and astrologers who have dedicated their lives in the service of mankind through authenticated processes of Puja and Archan of Lord to get instant and best relief.
They have spent hours and hours, days after days and years after years in searching for the remedy for Mangal Dosha and after years of tireless attempts, they came up with special and hidden techniques and mantras which give instant and visible results to the person who is suffering from the problem.
Sbubhpuja has designed a Manglik Dosh Nivaran Puja Package under the strict guidance of these highly qualified acharyas who have performed these pujas for several years and have attained siddhi in them.
Benefits of doing this Puja
Apart from getting the desired calming effect over Manglik Dosha, the Puja gives the following benefits to the person.
- Happy and blissful married life
- Gives motivation to achieve something big
- Cures Skin diseases
- Clarifies the conscience mind and soul
- Eases the married life
- Peace in homely affairs
- Takes off the Mangal Dosh
- Counters the effect of Kuja Dosh
- Helps liberate one of debt
Puja timings and Muhurtam
As per the astrological calculations, the puja timings and muhurtam are decided by the acharyas. This service is the headache of Shubhpuja who provides free of cost consultation for muhurtam and timings when the puja is booked.
The devotee can opt for the online samagri pack which is specially made for this puja and can avoid unnecessary inconvenience.

Boston's Douglas Fir band, whose principal songwriter is Jay Walsh, may share similar influences to NYC early '80s revivalists such as Interpol, Longwave, and The Walkmen, but they beat those bands to the punch, having played their blend of chilling, atmospheric, effects laden pop since the late '90s. They're also better than the aforementioned bands, adding more colors and a softer touch to the mix, bringing to mind underrated legends such as The Chameleons, Australia's The Church, and The Straitjacket Fits on this monumental debut album. And then there's the songwriting; Walsh's spectacular, vivid lyrical narratives flow like your favorite short stories or those old Hitchcock films name checked on "My Favorite Thing." Don't miss out on this one!

Product Description:
Callaway Epic Flash Fairway Wood
New Flash Face Technology for Unprecedented Ball Speed
- Callaway engineers applied learnings from Artificial Intelligence to create a new fairway wood face design that promotes increased ball speed for longer distance.
Forged Carpenter Steel Face Cup for Fast Speed
- Forged 455 Carpenter steel construction combines with Face Cup technology to deliver fast ball speed across the face for distance on center- and off-center hits.
Jailbreak Technology for Fast Ball Speed
- Our innovative Jailbreak Technology incorporates two internal bars that stiffen the body, placing more impact load on the face for fast ball speed.
New OptiFit Hosel for Easy Launch and Optimal Flight
- Callaway designed an entirely new hosel system that's shorter and lighter; the saved weight is used to reposition the CG for easy launch and high, long-carrying flight.
The new Epic Flash fairway wood features our groundbreaking new Flash Face Technology to help golfers of every level and swing speed get more ball speed and distance.
We took the insights we acquired from using Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and Machine Learning to develop our new Flash Face and Flash Face Sub Zero drivers. And we applied what we learned to create an ultra-thin, forged Carpenter 455 steel clubface for Epic Flash fairway woods that incorporates our renowned Face Cup technology and our new Flash Face technology. The result is a uniquely designed clubface that's expressly engineered for high COR across a large area, to promote fast ball speed on both center and off-center hits.
Within the clubhead, Callaway's innovative Jailbreak Technology is the engine that promotes increased ball speed. It features two internal bars that connect the crown to the sole, stabilizing and stiffening those two parts, and allowing the face to take on greater impact load to generate faster ball speed.
Epic Flash fairway woods also have a new, lighter OptiFit Hosel to make it simple for players to dial in easy launch and optimal flight. And this saved weight in the hosel allows us to combine Jailbreak and adjustability for the first time ever in a fairway wood.
Consumers have a choice of three premium stock shaft options: Project X EvenFlow, Project X HZRDUS Smoke and Mitsubishi Tensei AV. Stock grip is Golf Pride's premium Tour Velvet ALIGN Grip – the #1 grip model on the PGA Tour -- with a special green reminder ridge unique to the Epic Flash.

There's something about an empty theater that soothes me. Revives me. Inspires me. Sure, it's beautiful when each of those seats are full -- but there is also a certain magic that occurs in those moments after the show has started...when the dust has settled and the ghost light is on, and the story that has just been told still lingers in the air.
That is, by far, one of my favorite moments in any run. For the magic that has undoubtedly happened onstage cannot ever be repeated, no two performances are ever completely identical. That's the beauty of this artform - it forces us to remember & to embrace change. It demands that we cherish moments of connection and intensity and collaboration, moments that, despite the pictures and videos that may have been taken, can only really be repeated in our memories.
I just wrapped up a prduction of Little Shop of Horrors. The entire production involved almost 90 teenagers.
I just worked with 90 teenagers, and yet, I'm still living.
But all kidding aside - I just watched 90 teenagers work together for three months. They all had different skills. They all had different weaknesses. They all had different strengths. They all were different.
And yet, their differences came together for a greater good.
Those differences came together to create a piece of art that will last in their hearts and souls for as long as they live.
Those differences came together, and united a group of people.
Perhaps our politicans should take a theatre class, eh? Not for public speaking - but to understand what it means to work with someone whom you do not like. To work with someone that has a different set ideals than you. To work for something bigger than your immediate universe.
I've heard it said that actors and artists have the biggest egos in the universe.
Instead I'd say this - perhaps they have the smallest ones, for a true artist is more concerned about the work at hand than his or her own ego.
To the cast, crew, & pit of Little Shop of Horrors - I hope these memories stay with you for the rest of your life. I hope you always remember of a time when a group of young adults came together for something bigger than themselves. I hope you remember that with hard work, love, & passion, all things are possible. I hope you know how proud I am of each and every one of you.

BMW Wants a 10-Year Supply of Lithium and Cobalt - A Sign of Things to Come?
Expected purchase could be a sound long-term investment for the companyby Kirby, on
With an eye towards the future, BMW is looking to secure a 10-year supply of cobalt and lithium, two important ingredients in the production of high energy density Li-ion battery cells. The decision to procure the supply is part of a new long-term strategy that would allow the German automaker to secure significant supplies of cobalt and lithium in the face of skyrocketing prices of both metals.
The decision to procure the supply is part of a new long-term strategy that would allow the German automaker to secure significant supplies of cobalt and lithium in the face of skyrocketing prices of both metals.
The news doesn't strike as headline-worthy on the surface, but it could turn into one of the most significant investments BMW has ever made in the long-term, especially for a company that doesn't even make its own battery cells. A change in position could be in store with this purchase, something that Markus Duesmann, BMW's head of supply chain, hinted at in a conversation with German publication Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. "The aim is to secure the supply all the way down to the level of the mine, for ten years."
"The contracts are ready to be signed," he added.
So, why is this a big deal for the future? As we mentioned, cobalt and lithium are two important metals that are used in the production of the Li-ion battery cells. These battery cells, in turn, are used to power electric cars. Unfortunately, the supply of cobalt and lithium is expected to dwindle in the coming years, and if there's no alternative found, prices for the two metals could soar even more than they have been in the past few years. The price of lithium, for example, has more than doubled over the last ten years. As for cobalt? It's tripled in the last three years.
The German automaker is making a pre-emptive move by increasing its supply of the metals
That reality — and the future — is staring BMW in the face. So, instead of trying its luck on an uncertain future for these resources, the German automaker is making a pre-emptive move by increasing its supply of the metals. It's a solid move that sets up BMW's electrification plans for the future.
It's worth noting too that BMW's own all-electric efforts have remained idle since the launch of the i3 back in 2013. But with the company now embarking on a long-term plan to introduce 12 all-electric cars by 2025, securing a 10-year supply of cobalt and lithium is a huge step in achieving that goal. It's also the latest in a string of investments the automaker has made to see that future through. Last year, Bimmer invested $240 million in a new battery cell center.
At the very least, purchasing a supply of the raw materials needed to create Li-ion battery cells puts BMW in an advantageous position in the years to come. On top of that, it tells you that the company is serious about its all-electric efforts.

What you see is what you getFriday, September 29, 2006
I find this very disconcerting. Do you? Maybe I'll change my mind when I start to freak out over lines on my face. But I really doubt it. I wear my heart on my sleeve, I might as well wear my life on my face, right?
On a totally unrelated topic, I talked to my brother on the phone tonight and he sounded great. He is seeing a lot of doctors for both his physical and mental well-being and it seems to be working. He needs a lot of support right now. I suggested that he should start a blog, and he laughed, thinking that this kind of thing is for internet weirdos. But it's not; trust me, I say. Should I talk him into it? I think it would be great for him.
