            I've heard it said and I believe it to be true"that life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but rather by the number of moments that take our breath away".

            In life there are so few events that we celebrate or commemerate.  When that time comes why not white doves.  For centuries white doves have symbolized peace, joy and love.  Some cultures see the release of white doves as a wish for good luck and prosperity.  Regardless of what you believe the release of white doves is simply breath taking and awe inspiring.

             So you are getting married and you are thinking about a release, whats next?  The following bullets are suggestions when considering a vendor for your dove release.
              *Most vendors who do a release do it on a part time basis.  So the way
               to find them is on line.  There are white dove directories where
               vendors are listed by state, and wedding sites that will refer
               individuals who do releases.
              * When you have identified the vendor you are planning on using
              make sure the birds that are released are rock doves and not ring
              neck doves, because ring neck doves will not survive the release,
              due to their inability to get home.
              * On the day of your wedding make sure you have communication
              between your photographer and the individual doing the release. 
              The birds move quickly and the photographer needs to be cued to
              capture that special moment.
              * Make sure you get people in the wedding party involved in the
              release.  It will be an event that people will talk about for years to
              come.
              * Most vendors will have a decorative cage that will display birds.
              Take advantage of this display, people will love to get their picture
              next to these birds.
              * It is difficult to express in words the impact of a release on a group
              of people. 


The following video from Youtube illustrates what others have  done with doves. 



              But at the end of the day make your release an individualized event with music or poetry that means something special to you.

             If you are looking to make your wedding day memorable and unique  a white dove release could accomplish that for you, wether it is a simple single release or multiple doves.
