While this type of theme may only appeal to a handful of you out there - it is perfect for librarians and avid readers or library lovers!  I think it would be a challenge to find a library to host a wedding but I thought these two couples had the right idea...

Scott & Diana have posted images of their library-themed invitation, rules for the reception - which are quite clever considering they seem like library rules - as well as their RSVP card.  Although they were unable to have their wedding in an actual library, the library theme was fitting because the both work in libraries.  Great job Scott & Diana - way to get creative!

Raina & Mike actually held their wedding in a library in Clayville, New York.  They were able to spend less than $600 on their entire event - which is completely unheard of for weddings in New York.  You can read about their wedding here.

If you are planning a wedding or destination wedding to the Great Smoky Mountains, this blog entry is for you!

According to a recent AP article reprinted on Knoxville, Tennessee’s WBIR.com, on October 1, 2006, the Park Service is going to start charging a $50 non-refundable permit fee for weddings inside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Additionally, businesses that put together wedding packages for use in the park will have to pay a fee. Here are two important facts from the article:

Businesses which put together wedding packages and want to use the park will pay for a $200 application fee and $10 per month during the 24-month life of the permit…

The ordained ministers of local area churches are exempt from the commercial use requirement, provided they don't perform more than four park weddings a year and don't advertise their services.

The article has more information so you may want to click over and read the actual article for more details AFTER you read the rest of this blog post because…

Something is glaringly missing from the article: it doesn’t tell couples and businesses how to go about getting one of these permits. I have done the research and here is what I found on the Great Smoky Mountains Web site:

Wedding and Special Event Permits
Weddings and other special events require a permit and must follow specific guidelines.

If you wish to hold your special event on the Tennessee side of the park, please call (865) 436-1266 for permit and regulation information. If you would like to hold the ceremony on the North Carolina side of the park, please contact (828) 497-1930.
