Sucker for Love Stories!

Ever since I could remember, I've been a sucker for romantic fairy tales. By three, I could narrate all the Disney love stories by heart (in English and Spanish), in Jr. High, I was glued to the corny Danielle Steal novels, and as I got older, to get my fix, my favorite question became- so, how did you meet? Often time the stories are simple miracles of fate. Nonetheless, each story makes me feel giddy and happy inside. It was only natural, that I would want to make a living helping couples unfold their happily forever after. I advice my clients to narrate their love story throughout their wedding day. No wedding is ever the same, each comes with fascinating characters, different turns and twists. I say, stamp it! Personalize it. Narrate it! These weddings to me have not just become another page in my portfolio but a true testament of the phenomenon called- Love!

Recovery Mode

 A typical wedding day for me, is at least a 13 hour working day. On the day of an event, going full speed is how I operate. But the day after a wedding,  I am in full "recovery mode". When the feet are all mangled up, when all the muscles hurt, when the car needs to be unloaded, and  the belly feels starved, this is when I turn to my favorite things.  I listen to raspy voices of ladies singing jazz, I hook up to the coffee IV, I proudly wear the baggy sweater, I fill up the tank with sweets, I light up my favorite ginger/peony candle and I nestle in between the feathers of a soft down comforter. I sleep, I read, and I cuddle with my kids and hear the animated stories of what I missed. I give the husband a play by play of what went right  at the wedding and what I'll do better the next time, the next time I'm running at full speed. But for the moment, while in recovery mode, I breath as I enjoy my favorite things.
