Just to be clear, I am not a “I-loved-planning-my-own-wedding-so-much-I-started-my-own-business” event planner. I have worked in meeting and event planning for both corporate and non-profit entities. However, I did learn a few things in the process, and in order to save you a bit of wedding planning grief, I share these lessons with you:
Our wedding reception took place a warm September evening on the church patio and the canopy of twinkling lights absolutely shimmered. After a simple buffet dinner, everyone, well, nearly everyone danced. I’m fairly certain my Baptist grandmother did not. It was a bit quirky by the various standards being used, certainly not flawlessly executed, but it was a memorable and charming blend of both worlds. If you ask my mother in law, she’ll tell you people are still talking about how nice it was.
Lesson Six… in the end, with even a little help and forethought, nearly every wedding works out to be a beautiful event: the happy couple is joined in marriage, families reconnect, new family bonds are forged and celebration ensues. Even the foibles and faux pas become part of the tapestry of a beautiful memory.
