Weekday Weddings Grow in Popularity as They Offer Many Advantages


Fort Walton Beach, FL (PRWEB) May 18, 2012

In addition to offering wedding services on the beaches of Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Michigan, and California, Barefoot Weddings has been specializing in weddings on the unique beaches of Florida’s Northwest Emerald Coast since 2000. Barefoot Weddings is located between Pensacola Beach and Panama City Beach, and is affiliated with beach wedding companies throughout Florida.

As weekday weddings increase in popularity, Barefoot Weddings is able to meet the needs of clients who seek weekday accommodations. Weekday weddings offer an economic alternative to traditional weekend services, which allows couples to take advantage of this convenience when they face certain time constraints or a challenging budget. Weekends get heavily booked for weddings, often forcing couples to struggle with scheduling issues.

Because weekend nuptial times are in such a high demand, wedding services often command a high price. Couples may pay 30% of the traditional costs associated with weekend weddings when they arrange a weekday service instead of on the weekend.

“Weekday weddings are becoming a hot trend for destination weddings to the beautiful beaches of the Florida Panhandle,” says Maggie Halsey of Barefoot Weddings. During the most popular wedding months of June, August, and October (respectively), 20% of couples arrange outdoor weddings to take advantage of ideal weather. Beaches make a popular choice for wedding destinations, since couples’ guests and families can utilize the time for vacation as well.

Another popular trend is to reserve a three-day weekend during a federal holiday. Since many people are not required to work during these holidays, scheduling to attend a wedding might not be as challenging.

For every beach wedding that Barefoot Weddings hosts, services include a Barefoot Officiate, beach wedding photos with photo CD, keepsake Unity Heart of Glass, Blessing Stones for Couple and Guests, unlimited phone calls, e-mails and referrals at no extra charge, and hand delivery of marriage licenses for legal filing.

About the company:

Barefoot Weddings is affiliated with beach wedding companies throughout the entire state of Florida. They specialize in unique Florida Beach Weddings. In addition, they also offer services on the beaches of Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Michigan, and California. Servicing North West Florida’s Emerald Coast sugar white beaches since 2000, Barefoot Weddings is located between Pensacola Beach and Panama City Beach.

Wheres hot, wheres not Simpson Millar reveals the holiday illness hotspots


Manchester, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 13 May 2012

Britons planning to jet off abroad on their summer holidays should be aware of the parts of the world where theyre more likely to get ill and take sensible precautions when travelling to high risk areas.

The infographic reveals that the top holiday destination for a holiday travel bug is Egypt, with illness in Turkey, or Thailand also being a health hotspot for holidaymakers falling ill with the food poisoning bug salmonella. While Spain, Turkey and Pakistan are the worst countries for cases of the water-borne infection cryptosporidium, linked to poor hygiene in swimming pools. Food poisoning bug campylobacter is most likely to strike those holidaying in India, Spain and Turkey, say Simpson Millars holiday claims experts.

Nick Harris, head of international travel law at Simpson Millar, which has represented thousands of holidaymakers who have fallen ill while abroad, says: It pays to do a little research before you go abroad and its useful to know that there are certain countries and parts of the world where the risks are greater when it comes to getting ill. We hope this infographic to the worlds gastrointestinal illness high risk areas will be of some help to people.”

Nick Harris also comments: Of course, were not suggesting people shouldnt go to these places. But there are some sensible precautions you can take and some simple dos and donts which you can follow to reduce the risk of getting ill if you do travel to high risk countries. Our key advice relates to food as this is the main source of gastrointestinal illnesses such as salmonella. Its important to avoid food which hasnt been cooked properly or served in a hygienic way. Stick to food which is piping hot and also take care with hand and food hygiene.

Thats the advice from Manchester-based travel law specialists Simpson Millar LLP Solicitors which has compiled a useful infographic on the worlds tummy trouble hotspots.

The full guide and holiday illness hotspots infographic are available on our website. It also reveals the areas of the world where people are most likely to fall ill. Central and South America, Africa, the Middle East and South Asia are the high risk zones where theres a 20% chance of getting struck down with diarrhoea while on holiday. Areas where theres an intermediate (8-20% risk) include Southern Europe and Northern Asia. Northern Europe, North America, Japan and Australia and New Zealand are the places where holidaymakers are least likely to fall ill.

Salmonella remains the biggest cause of illness among Britons travelling abroad, accounting for 50% of holiday illness cases. Campylobacter is the second most common reason for tourists to fall ill, with one in four cases attributed to the bacteria.

Holidaymakers who think they may have been a victim of food poisoning or any other illness whilst on a package holiday abroad which was believed to be caused by negligence on the part of their tour operator or accommodation provider should contact Simpson Millars Travel Law Team on 0808 145 1353 today to find out if they can help you.
