Couples who skip cohabitation and premarital s*x face up to 60%-80% lower divorce rates, according to 40 years of research.

A Florida Catholic priest says 70% of engaged couples seeking pre-marital counseling are living together — but that number is dropping as more young people return to the church.

The shift comes as a nonprofit called Communio works with churches to strengthen marriages, citing data that links family decline directly to faith decline.

It can get a little overwhelming when you walk into The Outer Banks Wedding Association Weekend Expo and and see all of the people and vendors scattered across multiple venues.

So here’s a few helpful hints as you get started:

1. HAVE FUN! This is such a momentous time in your life. Enjoy this experience with your loved ones.
2. COME HUNGRY! Some of the best restaurants and caterers on the beach will be here with samples for you to taste. Take your time and sample as much as you can.
3. ASK QUESTIONS! We vendors are here to help make your experience the best possible! We genuinely care about you and want to help – and there are no dumb questions!
4. DO HOMEWORK! Use the great resources on OBWA’s website to get an idea of who some of the vendors are before you come if possible. Narrow down who you’d like to visit based on your needs.
5. BE READY TO BOOK! There will be hundreds of brides and grooms vying for the services of vendors this weekend. Be prepared to sign with your favorite photographer or coordinator as soon as you can so another bride doesn’t book your date!
6. GO ON THE OBX WEDDING TOUR! Sunday after the Expo many vendors will be at sites all up and down these Outer Banks and it’s a great informal time to visit with and get to know them.
7. TAKE YOUR TIME! Don’t rush through in a hurried frenzy trying to figure out what you want to do. Take all of the time you need and make good, thoughtful decisions.
8. HAVE FUN! Didn’t I already say this? Yes, but again, you’ll be tempted to be overwhelmed and frazzled at all of the info. Relax and enjoy this time leading up to your big day!

I'll be at 108 Budleigh up on the second floor on Saturday, #21, so come by and say hi, especially if you need a minister/officiant!

When you consider all of your needs for your wedding, make sure you remember your officiant! To make it official in NC, you'll need someone appropriately ordained according to state regulations.

Many folks would love to have a family member or friend do their ceremony, so they go online to get ordained.

But I recommend that you consider a professional who has experience with weddings. There are important details and deadlines you'll need to keep in mind for your big day.

Check out my blog on why to consider this . . .

And come by to see me at the The Outer Banks Wedding Association Expo this weekend! I'll be at 108 Budleigh on the second floor.

There has been a growing trend in couples using their friends and family members as their wedding officiants. I am always a strong proponent in couples making their wedding ceremonies as personal as possible, but in this case you may want to think twice!Hiring an officiant to serve you may be in you...

Need an officiant? Of course you do!!

I'll be at the expo this weekend! Come visit me at 108 Budleigh on the second floor, #21!

Serving brides and grooms, helping prepare for their special day!
