Since its’ relaunch this past spring, readers of Aisle Dash, the newly revamped wedding blog of AOL,  have been treated to some pretty convincing arguments for getting married in such destinations as Las Vegas, Brooklyn, and even Australia.  And now Paris has been added to the mix:  I was very flattered to have been asked to contribute my 10 Reasons to Get Married In Paris to this week’s Destination Wedding category.  AisleDash, in case you didn’t know, is the ultimate destination for brides-to-be  -from engagement to honeymoon!  It’s an essential resource throughout the entire planning process and includes the latest bridal buzz, real-life wedding advice and my favorite Aisle Dash feature, Pop the Question (check out the sweet story of Francis and Mike. Aawww…..) A big “Merci” to Aisle Dash, and feel free to leave a comment if you need a few more reasons to get married in Paris!

As promised, here are more photos from Dana and Eric’s elopement in Paris from earlier this summer. This garden ceremony was extra sweet because the two families were so close-knit, and were all so emotional about having been invited to share this special day.  Dana and Eric created their own ceremony, pulling from Dana’s Jewish heritage as well as modern readings - which made the celebration *that* much more personalized.  After a little champagne reception in the park, the couple took off for all four corners of the City with photographer Jo from PhotoZhou - les amoureux à Paris.
