Here's a promising little indicator for a busy upcoming wedding season on the Outer Banks ...

A local wedding photographer friend told me over the weekend that he's already booked nearly as many events for 2010 as he'd done overall in 2009!  Now, I'm not at all surprised that his business is booming - check out his great work at www.neilgt.com.  What I am surprised by, though, is how many couples seem to be ahead of the planning game securing contracts with vendors so early!  A 'pretty work' shout out to all the super-organized and decisive type couples out there!  And for all the rest who may be feeling overwhelmed and behind the 8-ball ... not to worry - you can jump start your wedding planning by heading down to the Outer Banks this weekend for the Annual Wedding Expo happening over the 9th and 10th.

This little pic by another great local wedding photographer is a hoot ... the last two items on the list pretty much sum up all the pain and joy of the whole planning/coordinating process:  "write checks" and "get married!"
