RIP George Carlin

I love comedy. Duh! And one of my favorites is George Carlin. Sure he can get a little sour sometimes….he isn’t always the most positive person. But he was a genius in so many other ways. Plus he’s snarky. He passed away last night, much too young. I’m so glad I got to see him in person a few years ago!

RIP, George, RIP.

happy birthday sharon!

It is my beautiful niece’s and ex-intern’s birthday today, Miss Sharon Michelle. I wrote about her here and her zest for life. And since she is my number one fan and scolds me when I don’t update the blog, I know she will see this post!

For those of you who have never had the pleasure of meeting her, she is a force to be reckoned with. Sometimes too stubborn and know-it-all of her own good, but always gracious and loving to those in her circle. It’s a nice balance!

Sharon - you are a beautiful person and will do great things. Pull yourself up and make things happen like I know you can. You’re the daughter I never wanted, but I couldn’t imagine you not in my life. Now tell your Dad to get the North America plan on your cell phone because I miss talking to you daily.

Lots of love! Happy 20th!!!

are you a wedding risk-taker?

You have to ask yourself when planning your wedding, “Am I person that easily takes risks”?

This is an important question to100% honest with your answer because knowing what “type” of person you are will help you make better decisions for your wedding.

Case in point: this weekend we have Amanda Monarch and Brian Woods wedding at Cambridge Golf Course. The ceremony is going to take place outside at the fountain. It’s going to be beautiful, but if you are reading this on Friday, you know they are calling for rain. Amanda is totally cool and laid back with the gamble of having it outside with no tent (the back up plan to move the guests to the reception for the ceremony). She’s a risk taker.

Take another recent client, Tara Brown and Max Axler. They flew their Rabbi in from Connecticut ON THE DAY OF THEIR WEDDING! So when the Rabbi’s plane got grounded twice and she was stuck in St. Louis (until we sent a car for her), it wasn’t looking too good. Neither one of my darling clients broke a sweat or lost their smiles. Those people are risk takers. They rolled their “wedding’ dice and it came up great! The Rabbi arrived and amazingly we walked down the aisle on schedule.

If you’ve read these two examples and said to yourself, “There is NO way I could do that”, do not feel bad! It’s smart to acknowledge that about yourself. Now you know you should not be making decisions that take big risks on your wedding day! And it just isn’t worth it!
