Behind Every (good?!?) Woman...

...are at least 2 more!!! Call them contemporaries, colleagues, friends, soul- sisters or confidants, I am humbled enough to know with certainty that I would not have the success I am fortunate enough to experience without these two ladies.
For those of you not yet fortunate enough to personally know the beautiful faces behind he voices you may encounter, behold Nancy (right) and Terri. (left) Often mistaken for each other, I tend to be the odd-gal out. :) Make no mistake between them; they are both gracious, poised articulate and fierce, but definitely have their individual, strong contributions.
Their efforts are selfless beyond compare, and always have our clients (or even my!) priorities at the forefront. I couldn't have asked for better integrity, professionalism, friendship and even shoes (Yes, we wear close to the same sizes where "borrowing" is sometimes inevitable!)to share with on a daily bases.

Mark Pennington managed to capture this image of us last week at a wedding where we could all agree was a "keeper!" As near and dear as I do hold Terri to my heart, do NOT let her height fool you!! Besides the 3 inch heels (an E events requirement!) she is also standing on a whole stair step next to me...JEEZ!!
More sassy E Events pictures from the talented Mark and Joi (who managed to make us look decent after a day and evening of rain) forthcoming...

Cheers!

The American Dream

Are you living the American dream? Often times, I definitely feel like I am; having a strong, thriving marriage, beautiful, healthy children and being able to have a career that I find so rewarding and challenging.
On May 27, 2007, I was able to experience the marriage of high school sweethearts Nicole Bolt and Mark Ruiz. Nicole and Mark are so authentic and gracious that they are even further enhanced by their loving families!
Nicole and Mark's relationship may have started in high school, but it has also lasted Olympic trials (Diving) for both, 2 Olympics for Mark, college and the rest that their young lives had to offer. Through it all, they lasted and grew stronger.
And now? A happily married couple with one heck of a wedding (and after party!) behind them asked how they can help all of their vendors who helped made their dreams come true??
Lindsey Luxa,Light of Day, DJ Carl, Lee Forrest Designs, The Ritz Carlton and I ALL agree that they helped US...
Because of Nicole and Mark, I have been reminded of my personal American dream!

Modern Day Wedd-iquette on I Village Live

How many invitations should your future in laws be able to send out? If you are asked to be a bridesmaid for a friend, do you have to reciprocate?
Admittedly, I had to take course work through the Association of Bridal Consultants just on etiquette, but these issues are something new!
As a wedding professional who appeals to the the "modern bride," my goal is to always have or have access to these answers.
Once again, the producers at NBC's I Village Live asked me to join them on the show to assist with debunking some of these questions-
We had a fabulous time sitting down to chat and really getting to the core of several of these etiquette tips for brides and grooms.
