Best Things Overheard at Weddings

One thing about weddings that holds true pretty much everywhere I have been. People are drinking and partying and having a great time. You never know what you might overhear from these wedding revelers as the night goes on and the alcohol consumption flourishes. Here are a few I have witnessed personally:

“The last time the bride saw 90210 she was standing on a bathroom scale.”
“The bride just asked why all these people are looking at her.”
“This chicken is drier than a popcorn fart!”
“That hair color is not available in nature.”
“Oh no, was that videographer close enough to hear what I just said?”
“She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.”
“I’m only 60. Do you think one of those bridesmaids might be into me?”
“The groom’s mother is on a new diet consisting of only pineapple and bananas. She hasn’t lost any weight, but damn, you should see her climb a tree!”

Every girl should envelope herself with an exclusive group of ladies. Exclusive because, this circle of girls would serve as your sounding board and, at times, operate as human-kleenex, if there was ever such a thing. These ladies are better known as girlfriends. On your wedding day however, these same girlfriends should be the ones to transform into your beautiful bridesmaids. [More]

What is going on in this world? I cannot seem to figure it out. People have gotten less and less courteous to one another. Have you noticed? How many people have you phoned and left a message for and received no response at all? Days and days go by and nothing! It's not like you had anything important to say. You left them a message just to fill up their virtual voice mail box and not to actually communicate with them. And, it's not like they actually have to phone you back. There is texting, emailing; even a tin can on a string..... JUST RETURN YOUR DAMNED MESSAGES! And don't blame your phone, your service provider or the fact that Mercury is in retrograde. We've heard that before... over and over and over again! [More]

The question I hear most from new and potential clients is how to avoid making mistakes in planning their wedding. Obviously this question is loaded with lots of answers depending on what part of the process you are talking about. If I were to generalize I would say that they should hire a planner to help avoid making mistakes. Not just any planner though. If they offer to meet you at Starbucks for your consultation, you might want to keep looking. You want to hire only a professional, educated and secure planner that will still be in business when you have your wedding. [More]

Dear Donnie,

Hi! my fiance and i are getting married in July. we decided that since we are paying for the wedding ourselves we dumped the steak and potato menu and are instead doing a breakfast! i know this seems like a silly question- but how can we make it more elegant? is their any way we can make pancakes classy?

Thanks,

Have you ever wondered what a celebrity's personal assistant does? Do they answer phones, scrub dishes, run errands? All of the above and more! I am so happy to announce my very good friend Rendee Bullard has launched a new company that can provide you with your own personal assistant for an hour, a day or whatever. She and her fab team can shop, plan a dinner party in your home, do research, service your car or any other of a multitude of tasks. You name it and they will handle if for you. You have heard the phrase that there is not enough time in the day. Go Go Me can take lots of things off your plate and make your life easier! My motto has always been to think smarter and not harder. So, give them a call and relax a little! [More]

Through my service as a wedding planner, it is my hope that I have been a blessing to those that I have worked with, played with, laughed with and perhaps even cried with. As Labor Day is fast approaching and celebration fever permeates the air, I wanted to arm you with my certified delicious homemade barbecue sauce and, my ever so healthy cole slaw recipes. There's more to me than wedding planning so, watch out Bobby Flay... LOL! [More]
