Wedding Shows: Why You Won’t Find The PreNup Princess or Seattle Wedding Lawyer There
5 or so years ago I was invited to participate in a wedding show. As the Seattle Wedding Lawyer and PreNup Princess I have often been invited but just had never done it. This was going to be a small event and I knew the coordinator so I figured now would as good a time as any to give it a try. I always turned down the invites in the past because while what I do focuses on weddings, it is not wedding show material. No one wants to think about wedding contracts, finances, divorce at a wedding show. But, maybe, just maybe I was wrong so off I went.…

Wedding Season Ends But Engagements Keep Coming
With summer slowly starting to die down that also means that wedding season is also coming to end. But don’t fret my pet. Just because wedding season is winding down that does not mean weddings themselves are stopping. I can personally attest to this with the number of friends and colleagues that have become engaged. I’ve been to engagement parties, dinners, and witnessed countless Facebook engagement posts. With the engagement comes a barrage of wedding law related questions. They all boil down two topics actually; prenups and wedding contracts. If you don’t already know my stance on prenups then you are not following my blog (www.prenupprincess.com) or following me…
