Basic Betch Tour of LA. Top Story - December 2018.
Let me start off by saying that being engaged is so much fun! I loved (almost) every moment from the proposal to the wedding planning to the bachelorette party to finally making it down the aisle. The one part of the wedding planning process that proved to be a difficult, albeit silly decision, was the engagement photos. My now-husband and I got engaged the eve of New Years Eve, 2016. We were so excited and overwhelmed with the new chapter of our lives just beginning. With so much to do and so many plans to make from so far away, we initially decided we were not going to do engagement photos. We got a few phenomenal photos from the actual proposal which were so beautiful, we figured that would be enough. Plus, we live in Los Angeles and our wedding photographer was all the way in Canada (where our wedding would be) and we didn’t know the next time we would return to have the opportunity to shoot with him. On top of that, we are definitely not capable of looking lovey dovey in a field at sunset where it seems most engagement shoots take place.

Tips for Getting the Best Deal on Your Honeymoon
It's not hard to get the best deal on your honeymoon as long as you're diligent, persistent, and crazy in love. From discounted room rates to free upgrades via your airline of choice, there are endless ways to save. The deals may be small—a complimentary dessert with dinner, a cheaper rate on your rental car—but every penny adds up to something. That post-wedding, pre-honeymoon glow is sometimes enough to inspire a shift from coach to first class or to a presidential suite, but asking never hurts, either.

Everything You Need to Pack for a Beach Honeymoon
You wouldn't think that planning what to pack for a beach honeymoon is that much different from a honeymoon anywhere else, but this is the beach. As a bride, you want to remain comfortable under the hot sun and during those balmy nights, but you also want to be sexy, stylish, and cool. You're going to glow the entire time—you're in love and partnered up with your person, after all. Everything you pack should be flattering. More to the point, it should feed into the image of the joyous, blushing bride. The thing is, you're at the beach, so it's not all about the clothing and accessories. You also need to protect yourself from the common maladies associated with sun exposure and time by the shore. Don't worry. Packing those essentials won't take away from the thrill of the adventure you're embarking on with your new spouse.

What to Do If You and Your Fiancé Can't Agree on a Honeymoon Destination
You're a little bit country, he's a little bit rock and roll. You love the idea of tea with the Queen, he loves the idea of kicking back with a Budweiser and Ted Nugent. As wild as it is for many to believe, there are a lot of couples out there who are spectacularly different when it comes to personal tastes.
