No. What will the waiting period be after we get the license, before we are able to use it? Non-Florida residents, no waiting period. Florida residents 3 day waiting period. How long is the license going to be good for before it expires? 60 days.

Next will be the search of all the wedding providers? With there being as many as there are, what criteria are you going to use in selecting one? Will it be pricing? Will it be selection or what they offer? Will it be the experience they have to capture not only the emotion you feel on that day, but also the beauty of the tropical colors?

One that when you return to your home, you can to your hearts content mentally and emotionally travel back to and ponder again and again, bringing a subtle smile to your faces as you plan your next anniversary trip to where your life began as husband and wife.

Realizing in your research there are so many wedding companies out there, you know as you have visited and bookmarked many, and put a few in your "favorites", and shared with your friends. Next step is to have a list in front of you of what your wedding vision entails, look at numerous bridal magazines, cut out pictures call a few of your favorite wedding vendors, and see if in describing what your dream wedding is, it becomes their vision for you? Will it be cost effective? and most importantly what keepsakes are you going to go home with?
