As a wedding planner, I feel like I have a lot of options to watch other's weddings this year. Particularly two of my absolute best friend's weddings that are taking place one weekend apart in October! I unfortunately didn't get to attend my college roommate's wedding this past Friday, and I so wish I could have been there! It was devine looking in the photos I've seen so far. I can only imagine what it looked like in real life! Congratulations Court and Todd! You're a beautiful couple and your invitations are in my portfolio of invitations to show off!
I just walked to the mailbox and checked what came today. Much to my surprise, two wedding related pieces of mail were the only things in the box besides some coupons! I have just received a save the date reminder from my best friend, Danny, back in Michigan and his absolutely gorgeous fiance, Kat. Their engagement photo session was absolutely breathtaking and their photographer did an absolutely amazing job capturing their undying, unbelievable amount of love and care for each other! So...what better way to showcase their beautiful photos than on their save the date reminder?! It was so simple but so them! They glued a transparent piece of paper over a photograph with their message on it. When I opened it, it brought tears to my eyes...in fact, I'm still a bit teary eyed. To know my best friend, well one of my best guy friends, there is a group of them back home and they know who they are, has found the love of his life makes me so happy and to be able to witness their exchange of vows October 1, has me absolutely tongue tied!
The other piece of mail I received is for Kyle's co-worker's pre- Georgia wedding party. This is another wedding I unfortunately won't be attending...I don't have a lot of money right now, or I would so be flying to Georgia to see them get hitched! BUT, I'm really excited to be able to show them my happiness for them on March 30th at a local venue. This party will be yet another event that I can observe and take notes on. I love it! The more parties I can attend, the more knowledge I'll soak in for my business.
I can't blog about just these weddings, when my best friend of 18 years is getting married October 8th this year! I'm in this one! I cannot wait! I love being in weddings as much as I love planning them! Candice and Will live in Aspen but we are all from Michigan originally. So! The wedding is going to be in Michigan! They came up with an awesome save the date reminder as well and I adore it! It'd be in my portfolio if it wasn't on my roommate Laura's fridge! It's a magnet! They also sent a paper one too, but the magnet was so savvy! Go Candy and Will! We are in the midst of picking out bridesmaid gowns and figuring out a way to get Candy's wedding dress altered when it's up here in Denver and she's in Aspen. I'm so extremely excited that Candy has found her man and I'm glad we all approve of him, just kidding Will, I had to say something snarky, or it wouldn't be me! I am so blessed to have these two in my life and I can't wait to be there on the day they become man and wife so all the girl's who cried at Elyse's wedding (One of my 3 best girlfriends from elementary, who got married to the man of her dreams last year) can cry at Candice and Will's wedding! There are four of us that have been together since we were in 2nd grade. And besides being in different states, we are inseperable!
All in all, all of the weddings I'll be a guest at rather than a coordinator at this year, makes me extremely giddy thinking about them! I'll be running a wedding April 29th for two very close friends of mine from Grand Junction! I cannot wait to see the finished product, seeing as how Lucy has been the most organized bride I have ever seen in my life! She had binders for everything and excel spread sheets. I learned a lot from her and she has been an absolute dream to work with and just go out and chit chat with about her upcoming wedding! They have been together 9 years and they are finally getting married. I love them as a couple just as much as I love them as individuals and their wedding is going to be just as fun as they are in life and love. Congratulations Lucy and Alex and thank you for letting me share in this amazingly special day! You're an absolute special couple and it's an honor to be running your big day! Cheers everyone!
This is a rather long blog, but did you really think a blog titled "My Best Friends' Weddings" would be short?
In a few months I'll be blogging about the last one of the elementary pack to get married, (Besides me) wedding. Kayti has agreed to marry her long time boyfriend, Anthony. Watching this wedding in the beginning stages will be a blast as well! Everyone around me is either getting engaged, married or pregnant. I'm loving every moment of it! Congrats to all of my friends who are reaching these milestones in their lives! Just remember I'm here to plan your events!
