Shark’s Fin Soup: Update

A few months ago we wrote a short blog post on shark’s fin soup and the proposed banning in certain counties in the GTA. Well, it looks like the bill is on track for final vote this week. Personally, I don’t think the omission of the soup in Chinese banquets affect the younger generation as much as the older ones…but even then, most people understand the environmental consequences of endangering the shark species in the oceans.

Greg McArthur, columnist for the Globe and Mail, wrote a short piece in today’s newspaper. We had the opportunity to speak with Greg to chime in on what we’re seeing on the wedding side.

✨ Why Corpo Santo Hotel is My Lisbon Favourite ✨

When I stayed at Corpo Santo Hotel in Lisbon, I fell completely in love. 🏛️ The ancient ruins in the basement transport you back in time, while each themed floor tells its own unique story. And don’t even get me started on the 24/7 snacks available on every floor (yes, every floor!) and the cozy, welcoming lobby that feels like a home away from home.

This hotel isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience. It’s my go-to recommendation for couples dreaming of a destination wedding in Lisbon. Trust me, you’ll fall in love here too! 💕

Stepping into the enchanting Palácio Nacional de Queluz, I was reminded of the timeless magic Portugal holds for destination weddings. From historic palaces to breathtaking coastal views, this country offers endless possibilities for crafting the wedding of your dreams.

Attending the @portugalinlove.pt event was an incredible experience—learning about Portugal’s hidden gems, meeting local experts, and exchanging ideas with industry professionals who share my passion for creating unforgettable celebrations.
