Proposing Dreams Wedding & Events

Get outside your Google Reader!

Not forever, just occationally.  I heart Google Reader but I have become so dependant on it that I haven’t looked at a blog for real in a while and you miss some really cool stuff that doesn’t show on the reader.

 

Like Comments – that is important so if a post moves you, go to the blog site so that you can see if others are commenting and feeling the same way.

 

List of their fav blogs – if you like what they are writing, then you will probably like what they are reading too. Stepping out of the Google Reader allows you to see a list of other blogs that person/company enjoys. Like one of my favorite past brides Amanda, frankly she has so many I get lost in the web of linking from one to the next but most of it are really interesting reads!!

 

Fantastic new looks – like our blog was given a facelift here recently and a cute new photo, which again you can’t appreciate in your reader.

 

So bottom line – don’t quit your Google Reader – I know I couldn’t. But grab a cup of coffee, sit down and step outside the reader to find some new and cool stuff!

Katie & Jenny

While working on their to-do list Katie and Jenny sent me photos of their work! I've never gotten photo updates and thought it was too cute and had to share. Katie and Jenny are so excited about their homework and really take our upcoming meetings seriously. I tell them I'm going to purchase gold stars just for them.

Here they are working on their registry...

 

  

We have a good time kidding about the difficulties of same sex weddings such as who walks who down the aisle, who dances with who for the wedding party dance, who wears what for the wedding and it's all in good fun as they both know I support whatever makes them and the wedding party most comfortable. What concerned me was the work they had trying to describe their ceremony. Was it a wedding, a marriage, and commitment ceremony?

They decide it was a wedding. And why not? Wikipedia says

"A wedding is the ceremony in which two people are united in marriage. Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries, and social classes. Most wedding ceremonies involve an exchange of wedding vows by the couple, presentation of a gift (offering, ring(s), symbolic item, flowers, money), and a public proclamation of marriage by an authority figure or leader. Special wedding garments are often worn, and the ceremony is followed by a wedding reception. Music, poetry, prayer or readings from Scripture may also be incorporated in the ceremony."

They are doing all of these things but most of all expressing their love for one another before friends, family and the God they choose to worship. Even marriage is defined as a union of individuals. I won't preach on about why I'm completely perplexed at the government’s opinion of who should marry who, but I am excited to work with these two gals who are obviously in love and respect each other and that's all I ask for in a great couple! ~steps off her soap box~

To Jenny and Katie - love the photos but size'em down girls your backing up my email!!

lunch ladies...

So during the launchof tententen last week I have having lunch with the very talented Alison White and Lacy Branch. It was WONDERFUL....such a great afternoon talking shop, comparing notes and forming a great relationship that is going to benefit us all!

One main point we talked about was dispelling the myths about venue wedding coordinators.

Here is the post Lacy did about it: My main differences are that the venue coordinator is exactly that, they are revolved around the venue. Yes, some may help with the decor, rentals, flowers but even that is rare. Don't mistake this clarification for lessening the importance of a venue coordinator. They often know things about the venue your wedding coordinator does not. However don't over estimate the role of a venue coordinator and come up short in your planning.

Best Wishes & Happy Planning!
