The Wedding Chronicles: Part III

Professional News!

Back Story: About 20 seconds into planning my wedding I realized this whole planning thing was a little out of my element by myself. If I was going to be the BRIDE, I couldn't also be the COORDINATOR the day of the wedding. My job was to say my vows, drink champagne, and try not to fall while wearing heals in front of everyone I know. My job responsibilities (and those of my family) couldn't also include mopping the floor, moving chairs, yelling at vendors when they bring the wrong flowers (vent over...), fixing the cake when the icing falls off (another vent over...), and calling everyone within a three county radius. I had enough to focus on with the heals....

Thus, I had the help of my dear friend Rita (We will now only refer to Rita as SuperRita). Rita is an angel. No, a SUPERHERO. I haven't the slightest idea how anyone on earth plans and executes a wedding without the help of SuperRita. NO IDEA. SuperRita made my wedding everything I had ever hoped it would be. She worked harder the day of the wedding than she probably ever thought possible. I am so thankful for the passion that she had for my wedding and the friendship that has blossomed.
Thank you SuperRita.

Flash Forward to now: Rita and myself have decided to start our own event planning and coordination business. Together, we have a very detailed knowledge of wedding and party planning and coordination, catering, and vendor services. Just this past month, we have already had the honor of coordinating Clay and Heather's wedding week, including set up, vendor success, rehearsal, wedding ceremony and wedding reception.

The responsibility of making another couple's wedding more special, relaxed, and memorable brings me so much joy. It is such a great honor to be the person to assist the bride and groom with responsibilities that are so close to their hearts. I've been that bride. I understand the emotional memories that are made in every moment on your wedding day. Rita and I cannot be more exited to make that a reality for another couple.

Thank you SuperRita. I cannot be more exited for our new adventure.
