Your Future Mother-in-Law and Your Wedding Proposal!

Did you get engaged this past holiday season?
Send your future mother-in-law a beautiful bouquet this week to acknowledge your new engagement and to thank her for that special person she raised. It’s a sweet and sentimental moment before the wedding planning begins.

The sentiment of this action will be the beginning of your new life and a wonderful gesture that will not be forgotten.

It is also January and every woman I know, including his/her mom will love to see and smell that sweet bouquet as she looks out her window onto the snow filled street!!

There will only be 64 spots available and 16 couples will play each week. The finals will be held on April 4 in La Canadienne at Place Concorde, where a Grand Prize winner will be announced after the last round is completed.

 “We are pleased to be part of this unique event,” states Didier Marotte, Executive Director of Place Concorde. “This is about having fun and a heart-warming chance to give an area couple an excellent start to their married life! We all know how expensive it can be to host your dream wedding and we are helping to offset that cost and start them on their future life.”

Sponsored by Place Concorde and The Wedding Guide Windsor|Essex County, with Media Sponsor AM800 CKLW,  this contest is “about couples and how well they know each other,” states, Sheryl Davies, Publisher of The Wedding Guide. “In this day and age about 75% of couples are living together before they marry, so they know each other far better than past decades.”

The prizes for the contest are provided by Wedding Guide professional vendors and includes cakes, a rehearsal dinner for 20, tuxedo rentals, hotel accommodations, flowers, a photo booth experience, a wedding lighting package and a whole lot more! Grand prize include a lady’s dream cut oval natural amethyst & diamond pendant with 14 carat white gold necklace and 15 round brilliant diamonds (appraised at $1200) compliments of G&G Jewellery & Diamonds. (Prize list on registration form with rules)

 “The game will be played much like the original television show, but the fun is about the Wild Card points that will be issued: Couples will receive extra points for dressing up as a famous couple, for bringing 4 or more guests to the competition and for being the most entertaining duo of each evening,” explained Davies, “we couldn’t think of a better way to have some fun and set-up an engaged couple on the way to their future life. Everyone is guaranteed a good time and there are great runner-up prizes too!”

Preparations for your Wedding with The Wedding Guide Windsor|Essex County

It doesn’t matter if you are getting your invitations in the mail or compiling your guest list, it’s best to prepare for all your planning with as much lead time as possible.

Proper planning and taking on tasks ahead of time or on time will allow you and your fiancé to truly enjoy the process and be worry-free. Don’t put off things that can be easily completed or those that will delay other areas of your planning. You won’t want to leave your reception early to pack nor lose sleep the night before your special day to finish up your reception table seating!

If you are thinking about a summer 2013 wedding, you must get busy now. August has surpassed June as the month most couples plan to say “I will.”  Most brides biggest fear is forgetting something,  overspending on their budget, or choosing the wrong DJ.

Get a start on your timetable by starting with our planning timetable online at http://www.theweddingguide.ca
