Wedding Planner

Shout out to my special Golden Girls.. I need to pause and just shout out my mom,my future mother-in-law, my Bridesmaids/ Sisters-in-law, 2 Matrons, Maid of Honor, several cousins, co-workers and friends who have made my week a complete and absolute joy.

If I could sing and it wouldn't be off key, I'd serenade them all with the Golden Girls song, "Thank you for being a friend" because they have been truly AWESOME!

From my mom getting the Douglass Theatre (our engagement party site) to allow us to use additional space in the theatre and provide concession popcorn and vintage soda pops and gifting to us her vintage vinyl records that Patrick and I can use as our unique guest book to be forever cherished and framed in our home

my Maid of Honor Allison Phoenix surprising me and ordering red carpet for the wedding party to walk down on as we announce everyone at the engagement party, going all over kingdom come with me as I sign contracts for the DJ and have meetings with my caterer for the Bridesmaids Luncheon (shouts out to DJ Dice and Michelle!)

my Matron of Honor Ann and her husband Fred helping out with the food and her calm spirit always right on time to quell some brewing chaos.. so glad she was there when we were mapping out everything last week at the Douglass Theatre.. whew!

my future mother-in-law Momma Evans for giving me awesome advice about food preparation, reminding me to take a deep breath, loving on me when I visit making my favorite sweet potato pies and making me feel like one of her daughters with her hugs...


I feel extremely blessed, loved, and surrounded by people who share in my excitement. I don't know what I would do without each of them and feel extremely lucky they love me and Patrick sooo much.

I can't stop smilng.

Special thanks to my cousins Liana and her daughters Ayanna, Adrianna, and Aurelia for calling me to ask how they can help and agreeing to be my ushers and make people feel welcome. I'm so happy to know I can count on family and friends.

Thank all of you so much!
