Get Married Where You Want To and Do the Paperwork Where You Have To — Sandy’s Blog from Purple Unions Today

March 8th, 2012 Sandy Malone

Hi there!

See my latest blog at http://purpleunions.com/blog/2012/03/get-married-where-you-want-to-celebrate-your-love-%e2%80%93-do-the-paperwork-where-you-have-to.html or read it below!

As I watch all the updates on gay marriage legislation fly by on Facebook (thank you Purple Unions for the constant updates), I can’t help but hope that all the gay couples who decide to get married legally in states that have legalized their union realize that they don’t have to celebrate their wedding ceremony in the same place they file the paperwork. Vieques Island is a very, very gay friendly place to visit and to get married, and I’d hate to see a little thing like a Puerto Rican marriage license be the non-starter for what would otherwise be an absolutely fantastic destination wedding trip.

Avoiding the Pitfalls while Merging Your Finances — Another Huffington Post Blog by Sandy

March 7th, 2012 Sandy Malone

Hi Folks!

Check out my latest blog about money in the Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sandy-malone/the-painful-process-of-me_b_1322617.html?ref=weddings.  Or read it here below!

One of my former Caribbean destination wedding clients recently celebrated her one-year wedding anniversary with her husband, and the most important thing that happened on her anniversary night was that her husband didn’t ask her split the check. Yes, you read that correctly — the man she married a year ago still expects her to split the check with him. It’s not that he doesn’t spend money on his wife or that he denies her anything (they both have good professional careers), it’s just that they have never been able to agree on how to combine their funds in a manageable way. As a result, she is bitter and embarrassed about how he acts with money. And he doesn’t understand why it’s such a big deal. Or does he? He has to know on some level that when he asks her for half of the money in front of other couples they are dining with, he’s drawing a line in the sand that says, “We’re not really married. We still have our own money.” They are definitely married. I know because I mailed them the marriage license. It’s time for the silliness to stop.

She’s Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack — Guest Blog — Alissa the Intern Returns for a Second Summer Internship at Wedding in Vieques

February 19th, 2012 Sandy Malone

Hola!

I would like to begin by saying that I am incredibly jealous of my friends in Vieques this time of year.  I don’t like to remind myself that they are laying out at the beach while I’m buried under the snow here in Nebraska finishing college.

With that said, I am excited to announce that I will be back in Vieques over spring break to work at our much anticipated St. Patrick’s Day wedding.  I will be dressed up and playing the role of the leprechaun for this event.  It should be a fabulous event, and I am really looking forward to it!

Weddings in Vieques is also very excited to announce that Noelle Martinez, who studies at Colorado State University, will be joining our crew for an internship this summer.  Noelle found out about Weddings in Vieques through her aunt who had a beautiful elopement on the island last summer.  Noelle is very enthusiastic about this opportunity, and we can’t wait to welcome her to the team!
