How to Select a Wedding Limo Service Provider Online

Finding a great limo service for your wedding can be tricky, especially if you are doing it online without recommendations from your friends. With so many types of wedding limousines and cars to choose from, and the long list of rental companies with online tools to make booking easy, how do you pick the right service provider? Here are some tips.

1. Licenses and Associations: Every wedding limousine service should have proper licenses; most reputable rental companies also belong to professional associations. Check if the service provider has had any complaints in the Better Business Bureau.

2. Years in Business: This is extremely important. Veteran wedding limo providers are better than the newer ones because they know what they do and see (and solve) all issues. Note that some newer companies are operated by drivers and managers with many years of experience in the limousine rental industry, so they should be good candidates, too.

3. Insurance: Commercial vehicle insurance is crucial. Wedding town Cars are typically required to $750,000 in liability coverage at a minimum. Vehicles and cars that carry eight passengers (or more) need at least 1.5 million.

4. Quality of the Fleet: The bigger the size of the fleet, the more choices you have in terms of what type of wedding limo service you can rent. But bigger is not necessarily better. Smaller wedding car rental companies often provide more personalized service.

5. Hours of Operation: Not all companies can provide 24/7 services, but they should at least have an overnight emergency number. You want a limousine service that is always accessible.

6. Driver Screening: The Company should only hire chauffeurs that pass all tests, including physical exams and drug tests. Good rental companies follow all the state mandates and run criminal background checks on their drivers.

How Premarital Counseling Can Benefit Couples Planning to Get Married

Premarital counseling can greatly benefit couples planning to take the next step-marriage. Also known as premarital preparation, this counseling is not the same as ‘therapy’. It’s often a lighthearted educational session that helps couples learn skills they may need in building a healthy, happy, and lasting married life.

If you are getting married soon, it definitely makes sense to attend a premarital counseling program. After all, more than half (50%+) of all marriages fail. But premarital counseling has been shown to help to reduce the incidence divorce by as much as a whopping 30%. For this reason alone, premarital counseling is worth going to.

A typical program covers seven relationship skills and areas of knowledge that help couples lay the foundation and maintain a successful, loving, and happy marriage. Premarital counseling sessions address these following seven areas:

•    Compatibility
•    Long-term goals
•    Expectations
•    Communication
•    Personalities (including families of origin)
•    Conflict resolution
•    Intimacy and sexuality

The biggest benefit of premarital counseling is that it allows couples to concretely identify and talk about their fears, beliefs, values, desires, needs, dreams, and other such issues they may have previously avoided or even denied. During a session, the couple is encouraged to talk about matters they never discussed before.

Premarital counseling is necessary in building a stronger foundation for a marriage, before it even takes place. It helps the couple anticipate and prepare for the possible conflicts and challenges that may arise.

The best time to go to attend a premarital counseling program is one year to six months before the planned date of the wedding. The earlier, the better. This way, any negative habits or unhealthy relationship patterns can be addressed well before the wedding, and well become established and hard to break.
