Wedding under license or play a wedding in Santa Barbara

My grandmother told me in her childhood: "Vnuchenka, grow up - do not get married in May All your life will work hard!" There is confidence in Russia, should the marriage in May not promise something good to newlyweds.

But America also did not hear about Russian signs, or in principle do not believe in superstition. After all, May in California is a very popular month for weddings. And California itself, and Santa Barbara in particular, is one of the highly sought after wedding destinations for the rich and famous and the common man with the average prosperity.

The San Isidro Ranch on the outskirts of Santa Barbara used to be the wedding venue of Vivien Leigh and Lawrence Olivier, and President John F. Kennedy and his wife Jackie soon honeymooned. When it comes to weddings, modern celebrities (all sorts of famous personalities) also do not overlook the famous farms and other fashion places in the city. After all, Hollywood is only a few hours from here - one foot here, the other there. Although, of course, this is not the main thing.

Simply put the place is very beautiful and the climate is clean - it's not for nothing that Santa Barbara is called the American Riviera.

Already in my memory, in 2011th, much of the hype exists around a very arrogant wedding ceremony, Kim Kardashian (in the US, Kim is considered something of a reality show star Dom-2) and some ordinary basketball players in a five-star hotel "Biltmore".

Only one ring of the bride costs $ 1.5 million. True, the audience was amazed not so because of the glory of the celebration, because by the terrible way of the couple itself, the guests and their guards. In this sense, the difference between the new Russian and American birth pups seems small.

If a tourist business in Santa Barbara hardly has a clear season, then the opposite marriage is revived right from May to November. According to www.theweddingreport.com, about 2.2 million marriages were being played by Americans last year, with each spending an average of 27-34,000 dollars (large-scale celebrations with a million budget still exceptions and available units).

Simple arithmetic manipulation by multiplying one into another - and seeing a respectable number of market capitalization, from which Santa local barbarovskaya industry of local marriage with an enviable spirit tries to bite a piece of meatier.

So the opening of this season is prepared not only by married couples, but also by the residents themselves. More precisely, local small and medium business owners, in one way or another related to the topic - photographer, flower shop, jewelry, wedding salon, catering company, etc.

The sure sign that the marriage season in our city is about to begin, can serve as the weekly weekly, beloved weekly weekly Santa Barbara Independent.

Actually, to write this post, I just spodvig new issue of spring wedding app to publication. It contains useful tips, articles and promotional materials related to marriage issues. This year, the editorial board approached magazine design in a more traditional way.

But in the past, I still have photos, on the cover of a sex-clad couple, seeming to personify the essence of the liberal approach of the California people to same-sex love issues. By the way, this is not always the case.

in 1977, only 28% of respondents liked the legalization of same-sex marriage, and in the past, by 2017, this figure has exceeded the 66% record. Legislatively, this right is reserved for residents and even state guests in 2008.
