Jake knew the race car had to be apart of his proposal as it was such a big part of their lives.</h3> <p>Jake and Renee love going to the beach and spending time there together so we knew this had to be apart of this amazing proposal also. So our creative team came up with the awesome idea of having the race car at the amusement park on Wildwood&#8217;s boardwalk. This was the perfect setting for not only a fake photo shoot but also the proposal. The last piece of the puzzle was how was Jake going to propose! He wanted to incorporate some game or ride so after trying out nearly every single ride in the park we decided the best solution was for an old classic quarter  toss game. With the stall owner onboard with the plan all Jake had to do now was win the prize! After the pretend shoot Jake took Renee around the park and stopped at the Quarter Toss game, after a couple of throws Jake won and was handed a cupcake stuffed toy (Jake calls Renee Cupcake!) With the prize in hand Jake reached into the stuffed toy and pulled out a ring box and dropped to one knee! With our cameras set up all around we captured this amazing proposal from every angle.</p> <p>You can view all the amazing pictures from this fantastic <a href="http://smu.gs/1pMBbk7" target="_blank" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow">proposal here.</a></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/jake-and-renees-wildwood-race-car-surprise-proposal-nj/" data-wpel-link="internal">Jake and Renee&#8217;s Wildwood race car surprise proposal, NJ.</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com" data-wpel-link="internal">Paparazzi Proposals</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/jake-and-renees-wildwood-race-car-surprise-proposal-nj/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Nick and Chantel&#8217;s Love Park proposal, PA</title> <link>https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/nick-and-chantels-love-park-proposal-pa/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=nick-and-chantels-love-park-proposal-pa</link> <comments>https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/nick-and-chantels-love-park-proposal-pa/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[jambler]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 04 Jun 2014 18:38:54 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Proposals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[engagement photography]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Philadelphia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Philadelphia Proposal Photography]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Propoal Photography]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://paparazzi-proposals.com/?p=9732</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>The Love Park in Philadelphia was the perfect setting for this most loving proposal!

If you choose to follow this well-worn path, it may be the most important thing that you do in your life. A vital precursor to marriage is the marriage proposal.</h3> <p>There are countless methods and venues to pop this important question. As there are many romantic and beautiful cases of successful marriage proposals, there are also many cases of botched and bumbled marriage proposal failures. An important question to ask yourself is if you should propose with a ring or buy it later. People have differing viewpoints on each side of this question, with multitudes of reasons for and against.</p> <p>This article will cover these differing viewpoints.</p> <h2>Reasons For Proposing With a Ring</h2> <p>It shows that you are truly committed to the marriage; this adds weight to the saying &#8220;actions speak louder than words&#8221;. Your significant other could easily brush off a ring-less marriage proposal as an empty gesture. Including a ring shows that you are willing to make the financial sacrifice to make the marriage work.</p> <h2>It gives your potential fiancée a sense of financial security.</h2> <p>There are many reasons for getting married, such as spiritually sanctioning your relationship, the desire to have children, and social tradition. While becoming less common in the modern world in which job wages are equaling out between the genders, financial security cannot be understated as a reason for marriage. Proposing with a ring is a symbolic gesture of financial security. It demonstrates your artistic side, showing the degree of thought you put into choosing a ring. In your search for the perfect ring, it pays to learn about suitable ring designs for marriage proposals.<a href="http://www.guidetocareereducation.com/degrees/art/jewelry-design" target="_blank" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow"> http://www.guidetocareereducation.com/degrees/art/jewelry-design</a><br /> You should take into such factors as your personal budget, your significant others aesthetic interests, and a ring that would be meaningful to both of you.</p> <h2>It enhances the romantic experience of the proposal.</h2> <p>While there are many different ways to pop the big question, there are elements that are fairly consistent in this ritual, including getting down on one knee, doing it at meaningful locations, and proposing with a ring. When your significant other sees the glistening ring while you ask, &#8220;Will you marry me&#8221;, she will certainly have a memorable image to hold on to for many years to come.</p> <h2>Reasons for Buying a Ring Later.</h2> <p>It is a non-essential financial burden; many young couples have very limited financial resources. The money could be better spent on the wedding itself or other pressing financial obligations. A couple may want to concentrate more on a personal level of commitment. For many people, the materialist elements of life are not very important. Pure elements of love, such as natural emotions and personal values, may carry greater weight. Also, having the engagement pass the test of time without the symbolic financial security of a ring may be a truer sign of commitment. Your prospective fiancée may not like to wear jewelry, while traditionally it was always the man who proposed to the woman, there are an increasing number of cases in today&#8217;s modern world in which the opposite takes place. Oftentimes a man does not like to wear an engagement ring. You are unsure of your lover&#8217;s tastes in jewelry, if you hold off on buying the ring until after the proposal, can allow her to choose her own ring design. Also, maybe you or your lover want to design and purchase a customized ring that can&#8217;t be found at a traditional jeweler.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/should-you-propose-with-a-ring-or-buy-it-later/" data-wpel-link="internal">Should You Propose With a Ring or Buy it Later?</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com" data-wpel-link="internal">Paparazzi Proposals</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/should-you-propose-with-a-ring-or-buy-it-later/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>What is the ideal wedding proposal?

Do flash mobs and massive gestures say more or are the best proposals  just  romantic and well thought out.</h3> <p>It seems everyday we are getting more and more glamorous and over the top proposals being posted to YouTube and on news channel.Is this trend the way forward or are we loosing touch with the basics and the gesture of dropping to one knee and making the proposal speak for itself?</p> <h2>Is bigger better?</h2> <p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000000">Some would argue that with YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook the bigger the proposal the better and it shows your fiancée that you really thought it through and wanted it to be the</span> biggest and best proposal ever seen! This does not have to be the case. Knowing your fiancée and having the little touches that mean a lot to her will speak volumes and will never be expressed in a dance move by a flash mob, unless that is her thing! There does seem to be more and more of an expectation with diamond sizes and proposals that bigger is better, this is not always the case. The MOST important part of any of these decisions, whether it&#8217;s the ring or the proposal is knowing your fiancée and what will make her the happiest girl on earth when it happens.</p> <h2></h2> <h2></h2> <h2>The proposal should be everything she has ever dreamt of, not what you think is cool!</h2> <p>The answer should be fairly obvious to you, if she is one that shy&#8217;s away from public displays and does not like to be in the limelight, then a flash mob in a public place is probably not the best idea. That said, if you go for the less dramatic it does not mean that a few careful, well thought out ideas won&#8217;t go unnoticed! Little things can make all the difference. If she is very family oriented then make sure they are close by or waiting in a nearby restaurant or bar so you can then have your moment just the two of you but then surprising her with family there to help you celebrate. Also remember that after your engagement, you will want to call all your family if they are not near by, make sure you plan all of these little things so that it flows perfectly on the day.</p> <p>Make sure that when you decide to propose its the most intimate and romantic proposal that is suited to both of you, don&#8217;t be pressured by social expectations to do a big over the top proposal when it&#8217;s the gesture and the fact you are asking your partner to spend the rest of your lives together. That statement there should do all the talking.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2></h2> <h2></h2> <h2></h2> <h2></h2> <h2></h2> <h2></h2> <h2></h2> <h2>Elaborate proposals do not have to cost lots of money.</h2> <p>If your thinking of doing a little extra and making your proposal a little more elaborate it does not have to cost you an arm and leg!</p> <h3>Here are some of our top tips for a romantic New York proposal.</h3> <p>1: Pic-nic in Central Park, we can help organize, plan and deliver a traditional english pic-nic, set up and ready and for you in Central Park. We are partnered with Tea and Sympathy in New York and they will pack, deliver and have your pic-nic full of English goodies set up at a location of your choice ready and waiting for you!

It’s awesome, it’s wonderful, it’s fun&#8230;and it’s a LOT of work! Why? Because now you’ve got to plan your wedding! And among the most<br /> important things you need to do for the big day is to hire a wedding photographer.<br /> It should be one of the first things you do, because the best professional<br /> photographers book their schedules a year or two in advance. If you want<br /> outstanding pictures (and who doesn’t?!?), start searching for your photographer<br /> right after you book your catering hall. A wedding photographer’s peak season is<br /> April-November. For bride’s in this season, it’s never too soon to book your<br /> photographer. For those in an “off peak” time of year, 6-12 months is a good<br /> timeline to secure your favorite photographer. So HOW do you choose?</p> <h2>1: Ask family, friends, your cater and other vendors</h2> <p>Good wedding photographers have a reputation of success, and therefore are relatively well known. They should be the easiest to find. Stat your search by asking for recommendations form friends and family who have held weddings prior to your event. Ask if they liked the photographer. Look at their wedding album. Your friends and family will your best interests at heart and you should get the most honest opinions. Additionally, other professionals involved in your wedding day will likely have worked with photographers in the past. Ask for recommendations from your catering hall, florist, DJ/band or limousine driver. If another vendor, such as your caterer, is willing to stake their reputation on recommending someone, odds are high that this photographer is very good.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>2: Go check them out!</h2> <p>If you have a list of photographers from which to choose, check out their websites to begin eliminating candidates from your list. Also, give a call and see how friendly they are, if they will discuss pricing over the phone (the good ones will) and see how accommodating they are with their hours.</p> <p>Upon your visit, what do you think of their offices? Are they located in a well-kept building or storefront? What is your first impression of the space visually? How are you greeted? Are you offered a refreshment? Is the place clean and orderly? All of this speaks to the small details&#8230;and if a company takes care of the small details, chances are very good they handle the bigger details in a similar fashion.</p> <h2> 3: How are the photos AND video?</h2> <p>Think about the style that you want your photos to express. Do you and your fiance like traditional posing and a more “classic” look? Or do you prefer more light-hearted, playful and candid photos? There is no wrong answer! It’s what YOU like best that matters! Is there a nice selection of albums? Are they able to show you photos from the venue that you have chosen for your event? Do they handle all work in-house? Examine the basics of the pictures-such as color, clarity, exposure, and composition. Do you LOVE the photos?!? Can you see yourself in these photos?</p> <p>Next, did they show you a sample video? How was the video? Do they edit their<br /> videos in-house? Are you given the unedited footage? How much input do you have?<br /> Do they offer high definition? Although you are not required to use the same<br /> company for video, it will certainly give you piece of mind and ensure that your<br /> photographer has worked with your videographer. It will also save you in research<br /> time and may reduce overall cost.</p> <h2>4: How do you like the people?</h2> <p>The photographer is the one vendor that you spend the ENTIRE day with and is around after the wedding. So you REALLY need to be sure you like them! Gauge their professionalism. Did they answer all your questions while asking you about your day? If the person you are sitting with is not shooting your event, will you have a chance to meet the photographer who is? (a MUST!) By meeting, you will have a chance to speak with them “one on one” to discuss the details of your day plus their experience, style and vision for your event. Choosing a “studio” over a sole proprietor has it’s advantages: they will have a wider selection of photographers to choose from; they very often have a crew “on call” for back-up; they carry insurance and workman’s comp; plus&#8230;caterers and other vendors typically prefer studios for their reputation and professionalism, which can extend beyond what a single individual can offer. So although a single photographer working out of their home may provide nice pictures and good service, a studio offers the security, resources and consistency to ensure that your wedding goes off smoothly.</p> <p>A word about “newbies”&#8230; While not all amateur photographers are created equal, the best way to ensure you receive a quality wedding album is to hire a seasoned professional with a solid background from which to draw. Surely an amateur can shoot some nice photos, but a wedding requires far more than knowledge of a camera. Remember, wedding photography is much different than any other type of photography. The photographer must be a ringleader, therapist, babysitter, travel guide, camp counselor and more! So choosing a true professional is a must. Don’t skimp or choose a “friend of a friend” who recently got into wedding photography. Finally, find out if the photographer has shot at your wedding venue before. If they have, they may know of places to get good shots or ways to capture moments the best.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>5: Price, Price &amp; Price!</h2> <p>While you want to make sure you love your photos, get along with the photographer and feel safe and secure in the studio you’ve chosen&#8230;you also need one more thing to work: THE PRICE! Budget is as important as any part of the equation when choosing a photographer. So here are a few important things to note: You DO get what you pay for! Some photographers cut corners to give you a “cheaper” price. What corners? How about no insurance&#8230;or albums that are made overseas (and fall apart)&#8230;or printing done at CVS&#8230;or photographers who have shot 3 weddings before your’s (but are cheap to hire)&#8230;or even worse: they don’t deliver what they promise, and you wind up in small claims court. You DON’T have to book the big, giant package! You should be able to include what you want&#8230;and at the time you want it. Salespeople will try to sell you packages that offer you the “best deal” when in reality, it’s a bunch of stuff you don’t need. Go through the prices and choose only what you need. You can always come back after the wedding to add additional items. Not everyone wants to pay for an album they have yet to receive. So get your pricing ahead of time. Now, packages sometimes do offer a good value, but only if it’s with items/services that you need. Ask lots of questions and make sure you get the answers you want. Remember, YOU are the one paying here!</p> <p>The FINE PRINT. Make sure you read over the legal details of exactly what you will get before signing the contract. Do you own the rights to your images? Can you print them on your own? Are all the images edited at no additional cost? Will your photos be hosted online? If you add something later on, will you pay the same price as the day of signing? Will it include full coverage of the day? The answer to ALL of the above should be YES! And make sure you find this out and more. Also, make sure that your payment schedule is easily understood and find out what forms of payment are acceptable. If a company accepts credit cards (which most should) they cannot limit how/when you can use your card for payments. Credit cards also offer another layer of protection as they allow for you to dispute a charge if the photographer does not deliver. In closing, no question is a bad question!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For more information on Silver Fox and all the wedding photographers we are affiliated with across America please visit our  <a href="https://paparazzi-proposals.com/affiliates-advice/" target="_blank" data-wpel-link="internal">Affiliates page</a>.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/5-top-tips-when-choosing-a-wedding-photographer/" data-wpel-link="internal">5 Top tips when choosing a wedding photographer</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com" data-wpel-link="internal">Paparazzi Proposals</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/5-top-tips-when-choosing-a-wedding-photographer/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Is the old tradition of asking the bride&#8217;s father still valued in modern day society?</title> <link>https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/asking-the-father-for-his-daughters-hand-in-marriage/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=asking-the-father-for-his-daughters-hand-in-marriage</link> <comments>https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/asking-the-father-for-his-daughters-hand-in-marriage/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[jambler]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:03:56 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Advice]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Proposals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Asking the father's permission]]></category> <category><![CDATA[diamonds]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Engagement]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Los Angeles]]></category> <category><![CDATA[New York]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Paparazzi Proposals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Philadelphia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Phoenix]]></category> <category><![CDATA[romantic]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Surprise]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://paparazzi-proposals.com/?p=1902</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>You have made up your mind, you want to propose, congratulations, but now the panic sets in, &#8216;oh no, do I have to ask her father&#8217;s permission?’ [&#8230;]</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/asking-the-father-for-his-daughters-hand-in-marriage/" data-wpel-link="internal">Is the old tradition of asking the bride&#8217;s father still valued in modern day society?</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com" data-wpel-link="internal">Paparazzi Proposals</a>.</p> ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>You have made up your mind, you want to propose, congratulations, but now the panic sets in, &#8216;oh no, do I have to ask her father&#8217;s permission?’</h3> <p>For any traditional down on one knee kind of guy this is a no-brainer, but for other less conventional men this is<br /> not even a question that occurs to them.<br /> However, this isn&#8217;t a decision that affects only you.</p> <p>You are going to ask a girl to become your wife, to start a new life together, but you will also become part of her family too and asking her father&#8217;s permission might be very important to her.</p> <p>You should know if you don&#8217;t already what your soon to be fiancée thinks of the whole concept of her father giving you permission to ask her to marry you. Here are some helpful pointers to help navigate the whole process.</p> <p>[polldaddy poll=6034634]</p> <h2>How important will it be to her, but also her father?</h2> <p>What kind of home background is she from? Are her parents still together, does she even still talk to her father?<br /> Simply put, if she laughs off the idea then don&#8217;t give it a seconds more thought, but if she says that her dad specifically said he would kill the man who presumed to marry his little girl without permission then it is best to ask the future father-in-law first.<br /> Even so, in today&#8217;s liberally minded society approaching another man for permission to essentially possess his daughter is kind of weird. But, some traditions, especially marital are ancient and should be respected.</p> <h2>Face to face or over the phone?</h2> <p>Where at all possible try and do this conversation in person face to face, if this is not the case due to distance a phone call is still better than nothing. So, make sure that you get a private meeting or at least some private time with your girlfriend’s dad when you can. Often meeting at a neutral spot will help calm your nerves, a loud sports bar after several large scotches is also not going to go down too well.</p> <p>It would be best to make sure he knows this is a man to man talk that should not be shared and very simply make clear your feelings for his daughter.</p> <p>Promise to love and protect his little girl for all time and hope that he isn&#8217;t an ass about the whole thing, or in a perfect world bursts out laughing in your face and says yes. Always remember that a girl&#8217;s relationship with her father is very important be that for good or for bad. For those women lucky enough to have a healthy relationship with their dad his approval is all-important and more to the point your respect for that is essential too.</p> <h2>How long do you wait when you have asked his permission?</h2> <p>Now that you have asked the second most important person don’t wait too long till you ask the big question. Keep the momentum going and also be sure to give the dad a heads up as to when it may happen. Also try and ask the father to keep this under his hat, when more people know the more chance of it slipping out! The first call you make will be to her parents so make sure they don’t have major plans that day as they will want to celebrate and congratulate you both.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/asking-the-father-for-his-daughters-hand-in-marriage/" data-wpel-link="internal">Is the old tradition of asking the bride&#8217;s father still valued in modern day society?</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com" data-wpel-link="internal">Paparazzi Proposals</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/asking-the-father-for-his-daughters-hand-in-marriage/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Is the tradition of women proposing on the 29th of Feb sexist?</title> <link>https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/tradition-of-woman-proposing-on-the-29th-of-feb/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=tradition-of-woman-proposing-on-the-29th-of-feb</link> <comments>https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/tradition-of-woman-proposing-on-the-29th-of-feb/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[jambler]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:23:34 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Advice]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Proposals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[29th tradition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[california]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Chicago]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Engagement]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Interview]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Los Angeles]]></category> <category><![CDATA[New York]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Paparazzi Proposals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Philadelphia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Phoenix]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Woman proposing to men]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://paparazzi-proposals.com/?p=1892</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>This February 29th all the single ladies have the chance to put a ring on him if they want.

What could be more wonderful with your first step off the plane than to feel the warm breeze on your face, along with a dip in the sparkling azure sea. The magic awaits you.</h3> <p>Let me help you plan everything, find the best fares, prices, and destinations, to make your honeymoon beyond magical. Leave it all to me.</p> <p>I would like to suggest 5 Caribbean Islands that I find both romantic and sexy. Each of them is unique in its own way, but each just as memorable for your honeymoon.</p> <h2>When you are on St Barts you will feel like you are in the South of France in the Caribbean</h2> <p>You can rent your own private villa with a private chef and pool, or stay in one of the charming resorts, dotted throughout the island. Hop in your convertible mini-moke, with a picnic lunch, a bottle of wine and you are off to one of the many secluded beaches. St. Bart’s is buzzing all year round, even in the summer with the warm trade winds and no humidity. St Bart’s is the island of the rich and famous, one of my favorite resorts is Isle de France.</p> <h2>St Lucia</h2> <p>Six hundred feet above Anse Chastanet Resort on St Lucia is Jade Mountain. All rooms are suites with 3 walls, private infinity pools and the 4th wall is completely open to the magnificent views of the Pitons and the sea. These elegant spaces are techno-free. No TV, radio or phones. Turn off and turn on at the unforgettable Jade Mountain. You may never leave your room.</p> <h2>Laid back old world elegance of the Caribbean awaits you on the islands of Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands.</h2> <p>Guana Island is its own private island. Tool around in your private Boston Whaler to the many beaches, or charter a sail boat for an over night stay. Swim, snorkel and dine all day at the beach, hike the trails or just relax. Simple and magical.</p> <h2>Just a ferry ride away from St.Martin, lies Anguilla, with its miles of white sandy, pristine beaches.</h2> <p>Enjoy the slow, casual ambience of this island.  A newcomer in the last few years is the The Viceroy Resort, offering minimal elegance. Located on 35 acres with over 3200 feet of beachfront property.  A perfect honeymoon spot. Lots or not a lot to do. Fabulous restaurants and crystal clear blue seas.. Glorious sand between your toes.</p> <h2>A quick flight away from New York is the Island of Turks and Caicos and the secluded resort of Parrot Cay.</h2> <p>You will be whisked away on a 35-minute boat ride from the main dock to a private island, and paradise it is. Three miles of unspoiled beaches right outside your private villa. Como Shambala Spa and yoga, along with a chance to see one or many of Hollywood’s luminaries, whom own villas on property.</p> <p>If you would like to know more about any of these amazing destinations then you can contact Susan below:</p> <p><strong>Valerie Wilson Travel, Inc</strong><br /> <strong>212 592 1304-direct line</strong><br /> <strong>susans@vwti.com</strong></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/susan-stuart-from-valerie-wilson-travel-gives-her-top-5-caribbean-honeymoon-destinations/" data-wpel-link="internal">Top 5 Caribbean Honeymoon Destinations.</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com" data-wpel-link="internal">Paparazzi Proposals</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.paparazzi-proposals.com/proposal/susan-stuart-from-valerie-wilson-travel-gives-her-top-5-caribbean-honeymoon-destinations/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
