Hey all!
100 days and counting….
HERE WE GO! 100 days to go! WOWZA! We can’t believe it! This week is filled with some fun stuff. Tonight is tuxedo night – time to pick out the clothes for the guys! Even though it won’t take long, it is nice to get it off the list and then on to other things. Claudia sent us a list of what was left to be done and we are RIGHT on track…. it made us feel like we have accomplished something! (Always good!)

Mommy got a surprise package in the mail from her college roommate and dear friend “K”. The box contained a lovely letter asking Mommy to be her bridesmaid!!!

This Sunday may be Mother’s Day, but undoubtedly, the day the MOB is most excited about is her daughter’s wedding. Mother/Daughter relationships can range anywhere from delightful to torturous – and everything in between. Add a wedding into the mix, and well, it’s not always pretty. (Actually, one of the largest roles we play as Chicago wedding planners is mediator between the bride and her mother.) While this is your wedding, keep in mind that she has also been dreaming about this day since the day you were born. She wants the best for you – it just may not seem that way sometimes.

We are a little less than four months away from the wedding day and a lot of things are still on our to do list. I convinced Mommy to ask her wedding partyand friends for help! Mommy was nervous about it because she didn’t want to look like a bridezilla, but I told her that most people would probably be very excited to help and use their talents.

Hey all!
114 days and counting….
The cupcake tasting is over and THEY ARE GOOD!!! Special thanks to Bleeding Heart Bakery for making our experience wonderful! The new store on Belmont isn’t even open yet but they had a little “mini-cafe” set up for us with our cupcakes and cake balls waiting for us to taste. Each one was just as good as the other – the flavors are so full and present that you know exactly what you are eating the minute you bite into it! We know our guests will love them and will be eyeing them all night to make sure there are leftovers to take home!

My team at AS YOU WISH – An Event Planning Company produced a lovely wedding a couple of weeks ago ~ stunning bride in a perfect dress for her, handsome and easy going groom, delightful parents, two sets of adoring grandparents, spirited children, one of the greatest best man toasts I have ever had the pleasure of being in attendance for and a heartfelt and teary eyed MOH toast. But what moved me most? No drama, just love.

There was so much pressure on the wedding industry last year with the news of the Royal Wedding. Since the moment Kate and William announced their engagement in November, she wearing his late mother’s stunning sapphire ring, the media was abuzz with predictions, speculation and anticipation. Everyone in the wedding industry was weighing in on an almost daily basis on anything they could possibly think of to relate to the “Wedding of the Century.” As a member of this group of wedding “experts,” I felt that I HAD to talk about the wedding constantly, lest my standing in the industry would somehow falter.

As Editor-in-Chief of theBrideScoop, I get to hand out assignments, create fun days of collaborative writing for our writers and read everything that is submitted! So when we get to share a whole day of one topic with our readers, I think you see us at our best. I always have an opinion and sometimes I disagree with an article but I weigh that with what I think needs to be said about weddings and brides and whatnot. But here are MY opinions – loves and dislikes - about the Royal Wedding… one year and one day later!

For MARRIED MONDAY, we shared Lydia Netzer‘s article: 15 Ways to Stay Married for 15 Years! While we do not agree will every single point, number ten really struck as the TRUTH (yes, with a capital “T” and all caps after that!!!). What is it? Stop thinking temporarily about marriage. Most brides think that getting married is the finish line… no, ladies! It is just the beginning of the awesome journey of life together forever.

I recently had a bride email me the following: “So we are going to have some kids at our wedding after all. I made it clear to people that it was going to be an adults only wedding, but people decided to invite their kids anyway. It’s been a bit of eye-opening experience, especially because one person confronted me head-on about the babies thing (‘We can’t bring our kids? What is up that? What am I supposed to do?’). I was so shocked that I basically caved right then and there.”
