Friday's Fabulous Find: The Kingfisher

Have you always pictured yourself saying your "I do's" beach-side, but don't want to encumber your friends and family with a pricey wedding down south?

You can still have that island wedding, and it's only a ferry ride away! The Kingfisher Oceanside Resort & Spa is located on the eastern shore of Vancouver island. You and your guests can enjoy Beachfront Suites or Ocean View Rooms, stroll [their] lovely gardens and beachfront or watch the abundance of wildlife from [their] private balcony or patio.

The Kingfisher Resort has 3 backdrops for your wedding ceremony: against the crashing waves, surrounded by beautiful gardens or in front of a crackling fireplace. Following your walk down the aisle you and your guests can celebrate the night away either indoors in one of their 2 function spaces or outside protected by tents.

Wedding Wednesday: Tip of the Week

(source)

Proper etiquette, like the art of a hand written thank-you note, appears to be a dying trade nowadays. Emily Post, at the NY Times, addresses wedding manners and common oversights that can leave lasting negative impressions on friends and family.

Take a tip from this manners maven and and be sure to properly acknowledge those who have contributed to your wedding celebrations (both leading to and day-of).

• As a rule, a couple has three months, not a year, to acknowledge their gifts.

• Even if either the shower or wedding had a long guest list, a printed card or an individual e-mail saying: "We received your gift and will be writing soon" is in order.
