Some of the weird and wonderful festivals I have been to are the Date Festival in Indio California. They even had camel and ostrich races. But the weirdest one yet is the Testicle Festival in Woodruff Utah. I also here they have one in Montana. We’re talking eating rocky mountain oysters and listening to western poetry.

Sometimes we forget that that big cities like London are a combination of smaller areas. It is good to know where they are so that it is easier for you to know where you will be located if the hotel is listed by the area name. Knowing what is in that area will help you decide what part of the city you want to stay in.

Where is the best place for a destination wedding?

Wow that could be almost anywhere.  I would consider the following to narrow it down.

• Cost of airfare to fly in your guests or for them to attend
• What that destination means to the two of you
• Do you want to relax together or have a vacation with activities
• What is included in the wedding package at that destination
• Could more of your loved ones attend your wedding if you held it where you lived and then had a private rewedding ceremony alone at a destination
• What is the weather at the destination
• Would getting married and then taking a honeymoon alone be more fun than having people there with you on your honeymoon that attended the wedding
