And when it come to events…….you’ve seen them, they're tall and mesmerizing and you don't really get beyond the actual flowing fountain when you see it. You just want to dip something in it -
we must say it isn't all about the fountain; it's ALL ABOUT THE CHOCOLATE - YUM!
The chocolate they use is of the highest quality, rich tasting, aromatic, and have the viscosity to flow smoothly over the fountain tiers. They found that the unsurpassed taste and superior quality of European chocolate is preferred by thier discriminating clients. Certain areas of Belgium and Switzerland are world renowned for their exquisite, premium quality, and luscious tasting chocolate. Their chocolate does not require the addition of oils, or cocoa butter which tends to dilute the flavor. What you taste is some of the world’s finest, mouth watering chocolate that delivers an unsurpassed sensory experience.
With today's complex family structures and new models of marriage, deciding how to word a wedding invitation (or reply card or save the date card) can be daunting. Gone are the days when the bride's parents hosted the wedding and therefore issued the invitation. Today, invitations are issued by a variety of parties: from the couple themselves to one or more of the parents (who may be divorced, remarried, widowed, etc.).
Gone, too, are the days when there was only one accepted way to word a wedding invitation. Many invitations today are more informal or emotive, and that is perfectly fine.
Regardless of what wording you choose, just remember to make sure that guests have all the pertinent information, including:
• Who: Couple's names
• What: The wedding
• When: Date and time
• Where: Ceremony location and reception location, if different from the wedding ceremony
A map or directions card is also recommended, as well as a list of any weekend events, if applicable.

Congratulations and best wishes! The question has been asked and answered. You are officially engaged to be married - which is why everyone keeps asking you: When and where?
Nailing down the initial points may seem like a daunting task. There are so many choices and so many things to consider. They say the hardest part of planning is simply getting started. Then again, if done correctly the best part of planning is getting started.
Why not do it right! Ask your beloved on a date. Invite him/her to a candlelight dinner at your home. Set the scene with music and lighting. Order in or pre-cook something savory in which to indulge yourselves. Don't forget dessert since your mission is to stay at the table until you have fully discussed the wedding.
Before dinner turn off your phones and shoo away any roommates. Sit down with a bottle of wine and your notepad. Allow yourselves to fantasize. Ask your mate to picture their perfect wedding and describe it to you. Who are the people he/she envisions around him? What is the setting? How are you dressed? Now you do the same.
Write these images down. Do you want a white gown march down the aisle of a cathedral? or an intimate gathering of friends on the beach? Take time to dream. Explore the possibilities without regard to cost or logistics.
Once you have determined the mood and style that are important to you both....you are ready to get down to business.
