Excerpt from Popping the Question, Seattle Style by: Emerson Robbins (available at any Barnes and Noble or Borders bookstore on the West Coast.)
 
A friend’s destination wedding was George’s answer to how to pop the question. Brandy’s love of dolphins and a trip to Hawaii played perfectly into his plans. He told Brandy that his uncle, who lived in Honolulu, had bought them tickets to swim with the dolphins. What Brandy didn’t know was that George had spent weeks working with the resort to plan a proposal not to be forgotten.
 
Upon arrival at the dolphin resort, George slipped a special something to one of the dolphin trainers, while another distracted Brandy with pictures. At the end of the show, the trainers announced that there was one more activity and asked George and Brandy to get into the water. The trainer explained that since the couple had been giving the dolphins fish all day, they wanted to give Brandy a thank-you gift. One of the trainers then threw a large floating box into the water and signaled the dolphin to retrieve it.
 
As Brandy opened the box that the dolphin brought to her, she was shocked to see that the inside was designed like a regular jewelry box, with an exquisite ring sitting in the center. George took the ring, asked his big question, and the dolphin did flips as George placed the ring on Brandy’s finger.
 

What will I be responsible for on the day of my wedding?Positive Light Photography
On your wedding day there will be lots to do, but other than looking great and getting to the church on time, the most important things on your agenda should be to slow down, take good care of yourself, and enjoy the moment! Treat yourself to a good breakfast, spend time with your groomsmen, relax, and have fun.
 
Your other responsibilities might include knowing the whereabouts of your marriage license, your rings, and the gifts for your groomsmen and future wife. You’ll also want to be sure that your guys and your family know where they’re supposed to be when. Don’t be afraid to delegate some of these duties to your best man or groomsmen if you have too much on your plate, after all, that’s what they’re there for! If you haven’t already, consider arranging for your wedding night hotel room to have flowers, candles, or other special surprise treats waiting for your arrival. Thoughtful and personal touches are always a great idea, and will start your marriage and honeymoon off on the perfect note.
