Why I do what I do

By now, you have been reading the "Wedding from Hell" saga all week. Yes, it really did happen the way that I have it written and then some. I didn't have enough space to put down everything and my memory is trying to block some of the worse.

So then the questions remains, why do I do what I do, if I get treatment like this?
The answer? Because I am passionate about my work; I want to make a difference in the lives that I touch; I want to be an expert in my field (you don't become an expert without walking through the thorn bushes); and I want to bring elegance and grace back into people's everyday lives.

I am not sure where and why we as a society have lost some of our social grace and charm, but there is no reason to see it banished forever. A wedding is a celebration of two people's lives coming together to create one. The Bible talks about marriage a lot; there are laws in our country that protects the rights of married couples; advertising and the media are geared toward it; even the court systems do everything they can to protect the sanctity of marriage, so why should the marriage celebration be brought down to a level of mere carnality?

Folks, if you are even contemplating getting married and asking your friends and family to be a part of your special day, then please have the respect for each other, the grace towards the meaning of the day, and the dignity towards yourself to command a wonderful celebration full of love, sophistication, elegance and integrity. Leave the stripping, the drunken brawls, the dirty venues, and the "whatevers" to the nightclub life and not your wedding day.
