So spring break is approaching, and I will be traveling to Canada! However, I will still be working on line. It is ridiculous how much business is now conducted through the Internet. I talked to a vendor the other day, and instead of wanted to talk on the phone, he just sent me all the information needed (including a contract) via E-mail. I miss face-to-face interaction!

I do have some exciting news. My boss has asked me to think of a fun promotional contest to increase awareness of the company. She thought of doing an annual military wedding. As in, we would find a couple that one member was enlisted in the military, does not have the money or time to plan a wedding, or some other way incapable of planning a wedding. I like the idea of it, but my boyfriend, who is in the military, asked if this couple was going to be something like a "poster child." I think this might be the case, so I am trying to find other ideas. Here are my top 3...

1- Engagement contest- whoever can submit the best engagement story (included must be dates, times, photos, etc.) Gets a free wedding planner and a $1,000 gift.

2- Dress contest- Women submit pictures of their wedding dresses and whoever has the best will get a free wedding planner and a $1,000

3- How the couple met contest- similar to the previous two.

All the ideas need some work... any suggestions?
