Valentine’s Day Countdown Day 4….Proposing Today?

Many couples contact 27 Miracles when they get engaged, sometimes they contact us with the day of engagement because they are so excited to start planning the big day!  Now a lot of grooms are giving thought to creative ways to ask their sweetheart to marry them.  They think of hiring photography and videography to capture that  special moment.  Many times they create a  romantic getaway with their true love.  When planning this special proposal, be certain that she will say yes, that is key!  Marriage is a long-term committment not to be taken lightly.   Once you know for sure that your sweetheart is the one for you and you know that she feels that way too, then it’s time to prepare for the big day.  If your sweetheart is the romantic type, then a baseball game in the middle of the field is probably not the right way to propose as she  may feel uncomfortable.    Know your bride to be and what her personality is, that will always guide you.

If you are looking to propose just the two of you in a special getaway, consider Turks and Caicos, on a candlelit romantic dinner on the beach! Contact us today to plan that special proposal.

Love Is All You Need….

When you think about planning the big wedding day, the first thing that may come to mind is where to have the reception, where to shop for the wedding dress and so much more.  Many who follow my wedding stories are used to the big elaborate weddings and what decor was used and lighting etc.  Today I am going to leave all that out of my story because I want to take you through a story of love.  The pictures that you will be see will focus on capturing emotions, that is what I want to leave you with.  When you look at the pictures, focus on the looks, the tears, the laughs, the hugs, the moments that you share with those you love.  I know that is different from what you are used to seeing for a wedding blog, but Valentine’s day is coming soon and I do believe Love is in the air with all the new engagements.  So today, focus on love and nothing more…..

Today’s wedding is the wedding of Chelsea and Austin celebrating there one year anniversary on Jan 3!  They were married at Delaney Street First Baptist Church  with those that they love, their closest friends and family.  Watch as the story unfolds…

Chelsea and Austin dated for 4.5 years. They were perfect for each other! They met in college when he was a Political Science major and she was a Pre-Med English major. Their engagement was a total surprise, in the words of Chelsea,” Austin proposed on Monday, March 10th  2014 at the Baughman Center Botanical Gardens in Gainesville, FL and completely surprised me. The Baughman Center is located across the street from the dormitory where we met, became good friends, and fell in love. Three and a half years later and I am still so in love.”

Their wedding day started out like everyone else’s getting ready….thinking of the big day and how it will all turn out…It is always fun when hidden under the beautiful dress is the surprise colored shoes! 10920263_10152639341003946_7630948766801584471_oThere is always something special about getting dressed and seeing someone who has been there through the many things that happened in your life.  For Chelsea,  this is little brother Chadwick( or not so little anymore).  The emotion of a brother that looks up to his big sister on her special day, bonds family like no other.

There is something to be said about getting married in a historical church that has been around for 88 years since 1928, the church that your family grew up in. A place where traditions started and new ones will be made.

When the bride and groom have their first dance, have you ever stopped  and really watched?  When two people are truly in love, their love fills the room to the point that you get goosebumps as they dance and transfer that love to you the guest.  It is not only about them, but it is about the guests.  This is the moment that they want to share the most important day of their lives with you and they hope that you feel that love as well.

What a special moment, dancing with her grandfather. Not everyone is blessed to have grandparents able to attend weddings in good health , but on this day, Chelsea had that opportunity

Sharing with the one you love is something that you will do every day.  Cutting the cake together and feeding it to each other  is a long-standing tradition. Many old  traditions say that the reason you feed it to each other is to symbolize that the husband will always take care of his wife and she will always take care of the home  and the family.  The key thing is that neither should touch each other during the feeding and each person is to feed the other without any help or guidance. This is the start of trust.  So the smooshing of cake takes that trust away and respect.

Chelsea and Austin observed this tradition.  They had a naked wedding cake that was sleek, pure and classical, like their love…pure…

12/12/12 Getting Married this Day? Be a part of History..See How..

For many people 12/21/2012 who are doomsday believers feel that the world is coming to an end because the Mayan calendar ends on 12/21/2012.  All it means is that the calendar will start over again.  You will not see another wedding date like 12/12/12 probably for another 100 years or so. 

Couples can sign up on our official website, www.27.miraclesbyrosie.com or call us today at 407-905-5454.  This is a wedding for our outside of the box bride.  Now we only have room for 11 couples, the winner of the free wedding was already selected.  The weddings will  receive media coverage, magazine and newspaper coverage, because of the uniquemess of the wedding on 12/12/12.

27 Miracles is working with the Mayan tourism planner Lara in Belize to help plan a wedding in Belize. Here are some of the details for you to take advantage of this:

As stated by Lara Goldman of Belize, in her own words:

“On Dec. 12, an estimated 12 couples and more than 200 of their close friends and family will take part in a special “Mayan Marriage of Many” wedding celebration to be performed on an ancient Mayan Temple at the 3,200-year-old Mayan City of Cahal Pech.

“It’s beautiful and not many people know it’s the only place where you can get married on Mayan ruins,” said Goldman. The English-speaking country also boasts the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. “Belize is very distinct and nothing like its Central American neighbors. It’s amazingly diverse and, for this event, we are bringing together all cultural aspects.”

Bridal parties will arrive on Dec. 9 for a five-day experience. From the moment the guests get off the plane they will be immersed in Mayan culture. Native dancers will welcome the group (each couple will be able to invite six  or more of their closest loved ones to the wedding celebration, from Dec. 9 to Dec. 13), which will then head to a cocktail reception. From there, they can take in Belize in a number of ways ranging from zip-lining, Mayan massage, medicine trails , cave tubing, and exploring ancient caves.

On the wedding day, a  priest and a minister will be on site to administer the marriage ceremony. Brides and grooms will line up all at once among the ancient Mayan temple, draped with watermelon-colored silk fabrics, and adorned with silk pillows decorated with fire elements. There will be music and dancing with a catered reception fit for a Mayan princess.

“It will be the biggest event that the country has had,” said Goldman. “It’s like our Olympics. We are pulling out every stop.”

On hand will be Dr. Jaime Awe of the National Institute of Culture and History, who will help make sure the event preserves the ancient Mayan cities during the festivities. An expert on Mayan archeology, he has designed the excavation process.

Following the wedding, the newlyweds will embark on a honeymoon dubbed a “mini-moon.” For five nights, the bride and groom will be transported to San Pedro (who’s singing Madonna’s “La Isla Bonita” right now?).

As an added bonus, designer Chris Kole of Long Island’s The Cotton Bride is creating a Mayan-inspired wedding gown which will be for sale on the website. One gown will be given to a lucky winner.

Goldman says the wedding is a first-come, first-served sign-up with an average price tag of $14,000—a steal for the 10-day vacation and wedding for eight.”
