Switch and Emails

Hey all we are in the process of movin g over the host for the website. It should be a smooth transition but it looks like email might be effected a little bit. If you have sent me anything in the last 24 hours with no response forgive me. You can reach me at my old email (pre-wedding buisness) turtle042474@yahoo.com the other email should be working in a day or two, I hope. The new website I hope won't be mush longer. I need to check in with the designer to see what is up with it.

And the Winner Is...

I think unless you live under a rock you have heard the news that our new president elect is Barack Obama. If you are a supporter of his or not we are a part of history today. I know that things in our country need to change and I think both candidates were aware of this and willing to try. I look forward to see what Obama will do with the next four years. Here is to growth and prosperity in our future.

Trunk or Treat

This year at our church we hosted our fourth trunk or treat. It is a family event held on or near Halloween. The members of the church decorate the trunks of their cars and the kids go around and trick or treat there. its a free event. We also had free hot dogs, popcorn, cookies, and cotton candy. I was on the two person planning team. There were a few moments of panic but just because we wanted it to be right and fun. It was a challenge getting volunteers all organized, but it was well worth it. We had a great time. I look forward to working it again next year. Oh our theme this year was Fairy tales, Fables, and Nursery Rhymes (although we basically covered all childrens stories).

Professional Photos from Ben and Eliza's wedding

Vanessa is quick she has already posted some photo's on her blog. Check them out here. I have a few for you to look at.

Rumors

I wanted to go online and publicly say that I am not the red headed wedding coordinator that was doing keg stands at a destination wedding recently. I have had a couple of people ask if it was me. I guess this coordinator has short red hair and wears black framed glasses. I don't know who it was that did this but I assure my brides it was not me, or my assistants. None of us drink. I do not know who this person is, and I hope that she chooses better behavior at her next events, but you will be able to expect only professional behavior from us. It is your day, not mine. It is not about me having a blast at your expense. I want your guest and you to have the best day ever. I am sorry to hear anyone acted like this and hope that she has learned her lesson and that none of her brides in the future have anything to worry about.

Ben and Eliza November 1 2008

This was such a cute and fun wedding. I can't wait to get photo's from Vanessa to share but I will be able to share some of the set up photo's. Eliza was beautiful and Ben was dashing. I wish them both a happy future and glad to be a part of your big day.

Some of the cast and charicters that made the day happen:

Ceremony-Chapel and St. Stephens School

Reception - Mercury Hall this is such a great place and one of my favorite places to work

Jared was a huge help at the end of the night.

Flowers - West Bank Flower Market (let me just say they get props for making some things

happen that amazed me)

Photographer - Photography by Vanessa

Caterers - Salt Lick and Robert Mayberry (he did appitizers and bar).

Music- Redd Volkert they were great. Easy to work with

Transportation - Durham School Bus trasnportation. Billie was our driver and she was great.

She stayed in contact with me letting me know where she was at all times.

Forgive me if I have forgotten anything or anyone. Here are some pictures until I get photo's back from Vanessa
