07/07/07 Escape!

I can't begin to tell you how many people have called me in the past three days to ask about 07/07/07 weddings. They want to know my opinion on them, how did the weddings that I was at go, did I see an increase in "luck" during the day. etc. "An increase in luck?" I guess we are looking for anything to help marriages last---even superstition!

Truth be told, I escaped the 07/07/07 day. I am not quite sure how it happened, but it did. I spent it in ignorant bliss and worked my other weddings instead. The real ones! I am still having a spot of trouble getting Iowa used to hiring a wedding planner to help them plan their weddings. The ones that have them, love them (the good ones anyway), the ones that don't have them need them and the ones that don't know any difference probably shouldn't be getting married in the first place!

A wedding planner ( the good ones!) do so much to help brides, their grooms and their families. We keep the event stress free (the good ones), know the best vendors to use, have innovative and creative ideas (the good ones), pay attention to your guests and their comfort (the good ones), save you lots of money and help you stick to your budget (the good ones), and make your day as perfect as humanly possible (again-the good ones!). In short, we are worth our weight in gold.

Where else are you going to find someone who will get down on their hands and knees to mop up the remains of the flower's girls too many mints? Who else is going to stand for two hours on a concrete floor holding up your wedding cake? Who else will calm and separate feuding brothers threatening to shoot each other? Who else will track down lost dogs, children, errant DJ's, and sober up drunk Aunts? It is a glamorous life, that is for sure.

It is also the most exciting and rewarding career that I have known (and I have known a few). True happiness and to be a part of that---now that is bliss. You don't need luck or superstition, just a good wedding planner!
