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!

best places to kiss in paris giveaway winner

April 13, 2010

Time to choose the winner for the parisian party book Giveaway. I loved reading about all of the funny and romantic Parisian kisses. Alas, there can only be one winner (since I only have one extra copy of the book) so… the winner of “The Best Places to Kiss in Paris” is reader Wanda Contreras! Although the drawing was arbitrary, I especially loved Wanda’s sweet story of her New Years Kiss at the Eiffel Tower (hot dogs and Nutella?!).  A big “Merci” to everyone who took the time to share their story, and here’s to a second collection of Hot Smooch Spots in Paris!

best places to kiss in paris

It all started with a kiss. Or maybe it ended with a kiss. Or maybe the kiss came along somewhere in the middle.  No matter WHEN it happened, I’m sure you remember WHERE you were when you had your first kiss in Paris. Or maybe, like mine, your first Parisian kiss was tangled up in the whirlwind of the second, third or eighteenth kiss. But even so, I’m sure there’s one that stands out among all the rest. The one at that café?  On the metro?  In a taxi? Beneath the Eiffel Tower, remember?   Today, April 11 marks the 3rd anniversary of the parisian party blog, and to celebrate this milestone, I’m giving away this oh-so-handy guidebook, “The Best Places to Kiss in Paris” by Thierry Soufflard. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post, sharing your most memorable Parisian kiss (openly or anonymously, fact or fiction…).  I’ll randomly select a name from all comments left by Monday, April 12, and post the winner on Tuesday.  Thanks for sharing, and hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane!
