Equal Protection Under The Law

This video is both heartbreaking and empowering.  It serves as a reminder that equal protection under the law should stand for everyone and not just for those who we agree with.  If the law won’t protect you, you must protect yourselves.

Thank you to Tatiana, Michael and Anthony who all emailed us this morning asking us to share this heartbreaking video with you.

TIP TUESDAY: No Drama Wedding

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.

Royal Wedding: Planner’s Perspective

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.
