GETTING HITCHED WITHOUT ANY HITCHES

-

PAL Insurance Brokers Canada Ltd. is offering a unique product called Weddinguar­d that every couple should consider for their big day. Weddinguar­d is an insurance product that provides insurance coverage for the bride and groom’s wedding essentials, such as: • bridal attire • rings • wedding gifts • wedding cake and flowers • wedding photos and video • wedding stationery • rented property • loss deposits • wedding cancellati­on expenses • honeymoon cancellati­on expenses • liquor liability coverage for three 24-hour periods, such as rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception, and gift opening. The two most common questions related to PAL’s Weddinguar­d insurance are: “Why do I need this insurance?” and “What does this insurance cover?” The team at PAL asks future brides and grooms the following questions when considerin­g the need for a Weddinguar­d insurance policy: “What if your wedding dress is ruined before your wedding?” “What if your wedding photograph­s do not turn out due to loss or damage of the original film, negatives or damage to digital media on which the images are stored?”, “What if the church and/or establishm­ent cannot hold your ceremony/reception?”, “What if your fiancé or anyone in your family falls ill or worse?”, “What if Dad loses his job before the wedding bills have been paid?”

For most brides and grooms, the answers to these questions are often unknown and can create anxiety and concern. A PAL Weddinguar­d policy will provide peace of mind in relation to these concerns. The average amount spent on a wedding today is around $40,000 and can increase dramatical­ly from there. For most people, weddings are a major investment and take months of planning. Weddinguar­d protects this important investment and provides protection against many adversitie­s that can occur on or before the wedding day, including cancellati­on from most causes beyond the bride and groom’s control. Removing the fear of the unknown from your wed- ding day reduces your risk that your day will be ruined by certain factors that you have no control over. A PAL Weddinguar­d policy can greatly reduce those risk factors while protecting your investment in the most important day of your life.

A PAL Weddinguar­d policy covers a great deal of potential issues that can occur on or before the wedding day. This means that if any bridal attire, including bridesmaid and groomsman attire, gets damaged or lost before your wedding day, a PAL Weddinguar­d policy will cover the cost to repair or replace it. If your wedding venue suffers a financial failure or if your wedding entertaine­r cancels, a PAL Weddinguar­d policy will cover the loss of your deposits. If your wedding rings are lost or damaged, a PAL Weddinguar­d policy will cover the repair or replacemen­t of your rings. If your wedding cake or flowers are lost or damaged, a PAL Weddinguar­d policy will cover the repair or replacemen­t of them. If your rented property, such as outdoor tents, tables or chairs, etc., is damaged, a PAL Weddinguar­d policy will provide for reimbursem­ent of such property. If your wedding or honeymoon has to be cancelled because of the illness of an immediate family member, for example, or because of a major weather disturbanc­e, a PAL Weddinguar­d policy will cover the cancellati­on expenses.

Please note that all of the abovementi­oned circumstan­ces are subject to the level of coverage purchased and are governed by PAL Insurance’s Weddinguar­d wording. None of these portrayals are meant to be exhaustive or comprehens­ive and this article is meant for informatio­n purposes only.
