Unless you had some traumatic boating experience or watched too much JAWS in your lifetime, you can probably agree that there’s just something about being around water that has a mystifying effect on one’s soul. Water calms me, it rejuvenates my spirit, and makes me feel at home. I didn’t grow up around a beach or lake, but maybe those one-week vacations once a year to Jacksonville, FL throughout my childhood instilled in me a love unlike any other.
Now, I’d never actually been to a legitimate LAKE before until a couple of weeks ago, when a friend invited me and several other of my sorority sisters to her parent’s house on Lake Victoria to stay and rent a pontoon boat. I love water and the ocean and everything, but lakes scare me with their deep water I can’t see through. Somehow I managed to overcome my apprehensions and dived in (ok, maybe I was pushed…) and actually had a lovely time! (Going so far as to tube in it and jump off a rope swing into the abyss, even!)
All this is to say, I think weddings by water (be them lake, ocean, pond, creek, sprinklers [ok maybe not], what have you…) are lovely, and with Memorial Day happening this week, I know a lot of people are spending their holiday in boats and on beaches across the country.

Alex from Simply Stunning recently blogged some valuable advice and tips for incorporating your beloved furry friends into your wedding! Excerpt below!
I think it’s a great idea to involve the furry (or feathery or scaley) member of your family in your big day, whether they are in the ceremony, involved in a few photos or make a guest appearance at the reception. It really creates a personal touch to your wedding and can help lighten the mood a little and add an aspect of fun!

Some of the first steps you should take to make this happen:
- Check with the officiant and church. Most churches don’t allow pets. If there is a little bit of leeway, you can always suggest bringing in the pet to meet the officiant (or person in charge) to prove he/she is well behaved.
- Check with your wedding party. It’s very important that everyone is comfortable with a pet being present, since they will be spending quite a bit of time together.
- Really consider the behavior of your pet. If he/she barks a lot, doesn’t like children/men/women, bites, jumps or isn’t well potty trained, these could all be disastrous on your wedding day.
