I Do - in an Unlikely Place
Feb 22, 2010 Wedding Planning InstituteWe’ve all heard of what some might call “Wacky Weddings.” If you’ve ever seen TLC’s A Wedding Story you know that couples are choosing to be married in lots of places other than churches. A few we’ve noticed are those in art museums, aquariums, and we even know of a couple who were married in an airport lobby! There is always a special tie to these places: Perhaps the couple worked somewhere together, or maybe they choose to marry in the place where they first met - even if it is a bit unconventional. There was the Georgia couple who were married in a Waffle House. And there was the couple who were married in Walmart. Well, add the Apple store to that list!
Joshua and Ya Ting Li recently said “iDo” to each other at the event on Valentine’s Day in the Apple store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. They were surrounded by a few friends and family, a lot of curious shoppers and some very surprised staff! They exchanged rings that were attached to, what else, iPods?! And one more curious tidbit: The wedding was conducted by a priest dressed like Steve Jobs. It may have a been a short, wacky wedding, but with those kinds of details no one can say they didn’t do a bit of planning!
As certified wedding and event planners you may be approached by couples who want their wedding to be unique, and yes, maybe a bit unconventional. It’s fun to think outside of the box, and graduates of Lovegevity’s Wedding Planning Institute are always ready to put on their thinking caps and make any and all weddings those of a couples dreams! (Even if they want to, say, jump off a skyscraper while they take their first kiss!) Check out these links for some great Wacky Wedding ideas!

It’s interesting to read what people plan regarding their wedding. I finished researching my destination weddings for Chapter 19. The most unique one I found was at the Hotel de Glace. in Quebec Canada at the ice hotel and the many wedding packages they offer.Also, Boldt and Singer Castle, found in the Thousand Islands area in Alexandria Bay,NY offer packages to get married in a castle.

I think nowadays more couples are going to plan their wedding in a more non-traditional way in order to make their wedding not only memorable but also unique and different from others. They are open to new ideas and not afraid to try new things and most importantly not to be embarrassed. They like to be the center of attention. Therefore as wedding planners, we need to keep ourselves updated with not noly the new wedding trends but also other eye opening wedding ideas especially in different cultures and settings.
