    The devil is in the details. Perhaps at no time is that statement more true than when you’re planning your wedding. The newly betrothed often believe that once they have the ring and a date, their work is nearly over. Well, they have another think coming. What makes weddings both gloriously special and wickedly burdensome is the work that comes afterward—and picking out the venue and purchasing a dress are only just the start.

    What you need to maneuver through the mire of throwing the most important party of your life is information! Therefore, we at The Independent have compiled a guide to most all the details, big and small. Click on the links below to find real wedding stories and a comprehensive list of Santa Barbara wedding resources, from cakes to flowers, invitations to event planners, photographers to venues. So read on, and have a wonderful wedding!

    Um guys...you know...not every bride is 22.
    And not every one gets married.
    I am living quite happily as a "fiance'"
    In fact I think we might stay permanently "fiance'd"
    We are very in love and have been for almost 6 years.
    We have two kids...one kid for each parent...fulltime.
    Kind of like the Brady Bunch..with fewer kids...and no dead spouses (pity that...shucks just joshin...!)
    So maybe the Indy needs to do an angle piece on Commitments...all kinds...not just the alter-vow kind.
    The Mommy-Daddy-Live-With-Each-Other-and-raise-kids kind? Lotsa love out there...in all shapes and sizes?
    Just a thought...show some new hues in the rainbow of love!

    Ahem... was this a buy-in-only piece? If not, someone at the Indy completely overlooked one particularly amazing individual in the wedding/event design business: Armando Martinez with Alegria... www.alegriabydesign.com
