“WedSafe Will Insure Your Big Day”

Insurance may not be the most exciting purchase you make while planning your wedding, but it is certainly one of the most important.

As a planner I’ve learned to expect the unexpected. What’s life without a few surprises? And why should your wedding be any different? With the wonderful surprises your “big day” has in store for you, there may be one or two that are less-than-wonderful, and completely unforeseen. Here are a few scenarios that you should consider when deciding whether or not to insure your big day:

• Sudden severe weather prevents your celebration, or causes many of your guests to cancel.
• The charming restaurant you chose to host your rehearsal dinner has gone out of business, but not before they cashed your deposit check.
• One of your vendors or service providers fails to show, but keeps your deposit.
• A sudden illness or withdrawal of military leave makes it impossible for certain family members to attend.
• Your darling nephew--the ring bearer--loses the ring while “practicing” his entrance
• Mid-hug, someone accidentally spills a glass of Merlot down the side of your antique wedding dress.

Destination weddings have captured the imagination of the modern American bride for a number of reasons. A destination bride may be geographically separated from her family, or she may be marrying someone from another region.

Like any important decision, the choice can seem daunting, but it needn't be, once you weigh all the relevant pros and cons. By understanding what goes into a destination wedding, you can decide not only if it appeals to you but, more importantly, if it is right for you.
