What is a wedding, really, other than a giant celebration—a party from beginning to end, from the engagement through the goodbye song at the end of the big night. In our annual Weddings issue, we’re including things that can help you put that party together. Hot air balloons in which to pop the question and tie the knot, transportation options beyond the quintessential stretch limo, a florist with an eye for natural designs, and the officiants that can bring two people together in matrimony. Read them all this week.
