Knowing that I have been privileged to do something I love for that long. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I sometimes wonder if I carried a camera with me at all times snapping every moment of each one of my couples events.....what kind of books they would make. If I could of snapped their planning process leading to the day they said "I Will", what those stories would say. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Through these years I have been just like everyone else....happy, excited, sad and angry. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So many beautiful brides and handsome grooms who no matter what was going on in their personal lives, still managed to smile as they walked down the aisle to each other. I knew it was part of my job as not just their Wedding Planner, but their friend to keep them lifted. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Without names, without dates and without photos I still feel the need to write about some of these couples who showed so much courage while planning what should be such a happy time in their lives. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I have had brides who during their planning lost the one person they looked up to with childish eyes...their Mom. This has and still continues to be one of the hardest times my brides and grooms go through. Often times they hope and pray that Mom will make it to see them get married, but it doesn't always happen that way and my heart breaks for them. When dads can't be their for them to walk them down the aisle or have that little talk the couples so often know is going to happen and worry it will ruin their makeup. These little moments that can never be replaced....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">To the couples that get the devasting news that they may want to move their wedding date up or push it back....these couples pull on my heart strings in ways I never knew they could. A closeness that gets built during planning a wedding is far more important than what else may be going on in the planning. Making sure every wish they want is somehow accomplished no matter if it's with 250 guest looking on or when they make the choice for just close family and friends....or just the two of them while I pronounce them husband and wife.....these couples never invited the stranger to their weddings. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">In short CANCER crashed their wedding! I can't tell it to leave we do not have a seat for it. I can't call the police and have it escorted out. I can't make it go away, but I can hope to plan with them a Day...just one Day that they might be able to put it away for a few moments like a stranger standing at the open bar that just keeps drinking...unaware that everyone knows who it is...it stays. Keeping a distance that may just allow a little fun for the couple. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Again, I wouldn't change these last seven years and look forward to another seven years with beautiful amazing couples. Cancer is still crashing some of my upcoming weddings, but I hope to make each wedding as stress-free and to always be here for my couples....I'm their Wedding Planner </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>Party Planners Plushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16160092798787970486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118548543951135127.post-24592607337837123702014-04-16T08:51:00.001-07:002014-04-16T16:42:54.704-07:00Really Disappointed in GMA<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlhmIwyPfjVKv4oVw4QGi4_byev8l6TOIZGA5I7XoDxVpLZTKmGGwN8cjCNxnC2-dAdyZlkiA0tvugWkSQH49XJtmLN-UOhXkl2BVnaEi6GYv00X4nLkwZkHL7vBijJbOMjD-kyBs3geQ/s640/blogger-image-116713535.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlhmIwyPfjVKv4oVw4QGi4_byev8l6TOIZGA5I7XoDxVpLZTKmGGwN8cjCNxnC2-dAdyZlkiA0tvugWkSQH49XJtmLN-UOhXkl2BVnaEi6GYv00X4nLkwZkHL7vBijJbOMjD-kyBs3geQ/s640/blogger-image-116713535.jpg"></a> I'm so disappointed in GMA ( Good Morning America) that my head hurts.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Why....GMA has been running a series of "Brides On a Budget" and it is so far from the truth that is makes me sad to think about all the couples that may follow their advice and then call or email me later...after their wedding and say "Nora, you were so right!" I have received calls two weeks, one week even a few days before a wedding from couples desperate for a Day Of Coordinator because all of a sudden all of their family and friends who they have asked "Can you do this for me" has either backed out, forgot, fell off the face of the earth, forgot to send in the proper paperwork to even make their marriage legal....and trust me...this list could go on and on. There is nothing worse than a couple finding out that the 200 guest they have coming just may be blogging or posting on Facebook what a horrible time they had. Seriously think about that for a moment....then read on.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I teach a Bride's Seminar every year ( 2014 Bride's Seminar was just this last February) to help teach and guide Brides/Couples in the right direction so that their wedding goes off with very little stress. They get the chance to listen to a Professional guide them through the process of what can be done and how to save money within their profession. Giving great tips and tricks to cut down on the wedding budget is always priceless to a Bride/Couple and even Parents when it comes to saving money, but GMA is for some reason wanting to cause more stress than what any one person should have to handle on their wedding day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Here are just a few points I would like to answer to some of their "Brides on a Budget" suggestions:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Officiant: This is one of the most important days of your life, why risk it on asking a family member who has never performed a wedding ceremony..... "To Save Money?" </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I really respect that you might feel more comfortable with Uncle Fred being up there with you, but has Uncle Fred have all of his paperwork in order? Does he care if he messes up the biggest day of your life.....sure he does, so why make him live with it the rest of his? This is one area that should never be skimped on....there are legal steps to a marriage. Let Uncle Fred do a reading for you, I'm sure he would feel more comfortable. An Officiant is one of the areas of your entire wedding planning that can be customized to what you want and need. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">DJ/Band: sometimes I think if I hear one more time to use your IPOD I'm going to scream! Really....is your IPOD going to Emcee your entire reception? GMA says and I am just repeating what they said...."Can save you $5000.00" who in the hell are you hiring for $5K anyway. A DJ can average anywhere from $450 on up for a Professional DJ/Emcee. Bands can range a little more. This is so important if you are planning your reception (even if it's in your backyard) to have. They bring structure to your event as well as keep the party going. Little Timmy who might be in charge of your IPOD....just might stray away and then what are you left with...asking friends, family and yes YOU going over to keep it going....trust me I have seen it done before. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Photographer/Videographer: Why in the world would they suggest having a high school or college student capture the memories that you will hold so dear....to someone that might dabble in photography and video.... "To Save Money" I call Bullshit on this one ( excuse language, but it fits) ...you may be left without any photos or video of your wedding day. A Professional knows what they need to do to make your day everything you dreamed, seen on Pinterest, bragged about having on your FB and Twitter pages. They can take that simple centerpiece and make it look fabulous in a photo...they are well trained in the shots you need, how you want them and for me...as a Wedding Planner, they know how to stay on that Timeline. How do you tell your guest " Sorry, the photographer took longer than we thought" as your guest are now sitting there bored out of their minds and starving. Please...Please....Please hire someone who knows what they are doing and has done several weddings if not more so that they know the basics of wedding photography.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Invitations: If I have said it once I have said it a million times ( ok maybe not a million) "Please do not invite your guest to your wedding via any email, website or any other way, but through the mail. I had a couple that tried this and it was a disaster for them. Talk to an invitation person directly in your area that can communicate one on one with you. Together you will put together a one of a kind invitation as well as save money and stress in the long run. Trying to do them your self can be a disaster and that's a whole other blog in itself ( stay tune for that one one day).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Wedding Planner/Day of Coordinator: I thought I would let some of my couples tell you.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="_4dwj" style="border-color: rgb(233, 233, 233);

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Q:</span> What made you decide to become a Professional Hair Stylist?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A: Since high school really.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Q: How was your first event and what would you have done
differently if anything? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A:The first time I did hair for a wedding was when I was
in high school and my sister's friend was getting married! I had not been to
cosmetology school yet or had any training! At the time, I thought I did
great......looking back, well, not my best work! Lol! But it was a great
experience and I still love doing hair as much now as i did
then!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Q: What makes couples want to hire you? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A: Well first, usually
just the bride wants to hire me. I have yet to have a groom ask for
formal styles for himself and the groomsmen! I will keep you posted if that
happens! But I think I win the brides over by listening to their needs and wants
and being very upfront and honest about how I feel their hair will look the best
considering their length and texture, with keeping in mind the look they want to
achieve.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A: I show them my reviews and my experience along with my portfolio and
many of them come from referrals from friends.</span><br />

Q: Do you book more than one event on the same day?<br />
<br />
A: Not typically, but I have
before as long as I know there is plenty of time to get from one party to the
other without rushing anyone!<br />
<br />
<br />
Q: What do you enjoy doing in your
spare time with family and friends or by yourself? <br />
<br />
A: Between a 3yr old and 1yr
old, I'm not sure there is much spare time! Lol! My husband and I just love
spending time with our kids every chance we get! They are our world! Oh and so
is football! We love football! Unfortunately not the same team.....I'm all Ohio

<br />
<br />
Q: Do you have any hobbies? <br />
<br />
A: Well I am getting back into
coloring, as in coloring on princess coloring books, playing with blocks and
monster trucks, and playing outside in the sprinkler! Just another day with the
kids! Lol<br />
<br />
<br />
Q: What is the best advice you can give to a couple when
planning their wedding?<br />
<br />
A: Do what you want to do and not what you think everybody
wants! Its your day! Its only perfect if it fits the two of you perfectly! Don't
stress over the little things. At the end of the day, if your married to the
love of your life, the rest doesn't even compare to that happiness!<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Q: Would you say your pricing is compatible with almost any budget?<br />
<br />
A: Absolutely!
I try to keep my prices fair for any budget!<br />
<br />
<br />
Q: What is the
funniest thing you have ever seen at a wedding? <br />
<br />
A: Well technically I didn't see
it, but the night before my wedding, my husband and his friends thought it would
be a good idea to have shopping cart races in the parking lot of the hotel, I
guess it was funny.... until the cops showed up!<br />
<br />
<br />
Q: How can couples

Q: What trends do you see coming for 2014 couples? <br />

I still have yet to see hairstyles for the men. However, braids and loose up-dos

<br />
<br />
Q: Are you married,
single, children...tell me a little about yourself!<br />
<br />
A: I have been married for 6
years to my amazing husband Andy. We have a 3yr old daughter Taryn and a 1yr
old son Cory. We also have 2 American Bulldogs, Abby and Buddy and a cat,
Morgan. As you can guess, our lives are truly chaotic, but we love our little
family and take advantage of all of our time together!<br />

<br></div>
<div>Q: What made you decide to become a Professional DJ, what year did you start? </div><div><br></div><div>A: 1989</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;">I love music. I began collecting vinyl in the 80's, then CD's in the 90's. Because I had a large music library and also enjoy the nightlife, it was a natural fit being a DJ. It's also rewarding to help make a wedding couple's reception a complete success....all while having fun doing so.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;"> </span><br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>Q: How was your first event and what would you have done differently if anything? </div><div><br></div><div>A: It was a graduation party for my cousin, Erynn at Darby Creek Park. I wouldn’t have done anything differently, but looking back it would have been easier to create a playlist ahead of time.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>Q: What makes couples want to hire you? </div><div><br></div><div>A: That’s easy…just look at me. I’ve always been irresistible to both women & men. LOL </div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">I’ve been told my pricing is very reasonable. There are so many inexperienced DJ’s offering “too good to be true” pricing like $200 using home stereo equipment. Then there’s DJ’s demanding $1,500 to play for 3 hours. I charge $100 @ hour for weddings and I’ve not raised my prices in years. </span></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>Q: How do you make sure couples feel confident in your business? </div><div><br></div><div>A: I have references available from hundreds of events I’ve performed at over the past 20 years. I have a $2 million insurance policy. I also make sure there’s an easy-to-understand event agreement…and I don’t rush or pressure them into signing it. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>Q: Do you book more than one event on the same day? </div><div><br></div><div>Q: Not when it comes to weddings. 99% of events throughout the year are single-day events. There are a couple of exceptions. For example, I donate my DJ services each year to the Buckeye Ranch. On August 24th , they asked me to play from 11am – 2pm. I also do events for Macy’s, though, and got a call from them recently asking me to play from 9am – 9pm. I had to decline. They were persistent, however, and asked if I would stop by afterwards and play the rest of the day (approximately 3pm – 9pm) so I agreed to that.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPr963DqGEf_LwvgMkB4xU2MKojP7hlrbk6U8SUiHyVPnau6nbPvoZ2b4Yy4FTC3jfXbpn669wzgJ7CqxokMjLf4WcWdYCY9dl1jO7o_zfEOEHafAywWGfItd6jEQroLkTywV91MyblNo/s640/blogger-image-2103476909.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPr963DqGEf_LwvgMkB4xU2MKojP7hlrbk6U8SUiHyVPnau6nbPvoZ2b4Yy4FTC3jfXbpn669wzgJ7CqxokMjLf4WcWdYCY9dl1jO7o_zfEOEHafAywWGfItd6jEQroLkTywV91MyblNo/s640/blogger-image-2103476909.jpg"></a></div></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>Q: What do you enjoy doing in your spare time with family and friends or by yourself? </div><div><br></div><div>A: Well, today I spent the afternoon with my son at Easton. After lunch, we met up with Bobby Rahal who is also donating his time to the Buckeye Ranch by putting on an event called RALLY FOR THE RANCH. This is the 2nd year for the car show. I also enjoy traveling (I’ve been to 47 states), OSU football, video games, aviation, NASCAR, concerts, and romantic walks on the beach. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN9lfHAHILqqrwQuyKUeSghqpS5NDRV4aRw9mhiCTkgYOGCHuWjqNLseBa1WKDxA006QdZC3SCmMGwT3rrMw72YrhYyPbwHYceWwCIkTENJm-R6aRI51wUZi7914W8gwSzKLpFW3nF8Ak/s640/blogger-image--1331389925.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN9lfHAHILqqrwQuyKUeSghqpS5NDRV4aRw9mhiCTkgYOGCHuWjqNLseBa1WKDxA006QdZC3SCmMGwT3rrMw72YrhYyPbwHYceWwCIkTENJm-R6aRI51wUZi7914W8gwSzKLpFW3nF8Ak/s640/blogger-image--1331389925.jpg"></a></div></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>Q: Do you have any hobbies? </div><div><br></div><div>A: Anything music-related, flying out of Bolton Field, football.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>Q: What is the best advice you can give to a couple when planning their wedding? </div><div><br></div><div>A: Make sure daddy has some deep pockets! LOL Seriously, though…my #1 piece of advice would be to plan ahead. This benefits everyone. Not just the wedding couple, but the venue, the vendors, and both families. Try and give yourself at least one year in advance to properly plan out everything. Second piece of advice…hire a wedding planner such as Nora McCoy to ensure your day goes smoothly. This will take away a HUGE amount of stress because you’ll have a non-family member by your side when you need her.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>Q: Would you say your pricing is compatible with almost any budget? </div><div><br></div><div>A: Yes. As I mentioned, I’m told my pricing is very reasonable and in many cases below what other DJ’s with less experience are charging. It pays to shop around. I offer discounts for Sun-Thur events, those in the military, and those needing more than 6 hours.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>Q: What is the funniest thing you have ever seen at a wedding? </div><div><br></div><div>A: Hmmm…well, I could write a book on this one. If I had to pick just one, it would probably be a couple years ago when the groomsmen had a good laugh at the bride & groom’s expense. After a very long day (and even a longer night), they were exhausted and just wanted to head home in order to be finally alone. I watched as they said their goodbyes to everyone and headed out the door ready to begin their honeymoon. Unfortunately for them, the guys had wrapped their car completely in industrial strength plastic wrap. The inside was jam-packed with colorful balloons, too. After a few laughs (and after taking some photos), they all pitched in to help the groom with removing all of it from his car so they could finally go home. </div>
<div>
<br>Q: How can couples contact you to set up a consultation? </div><div><br></div><div>A: I’m available by phone at <a href="tel:614-571-0820" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0" x-apple-data-detectors="true">614-571-0820</a> or you can email sales@jtmichaels.com.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>Q: Do you charge for a consultation? </div><div><br></div><div>A: Never</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>Q: What trends do you see coming for 2014 couples? </div><div><br></div><div>A: When it comes to fashion, I’ll probably let someone else answer this one. From an entertainment perspective, I see the wedding DJ as popular as ever. Photo booths aren’t as popular as they have been in previous years, but uplighting still continues to be strong and will be throughout 2014.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>Q: Are you married, single, children...tell me a little about yourself! </div><div><br></div><div>A: Sorry ladies…I’m engaged to my long-time girlfriend of 8 years (I know, I know). I have one son from a previous marriage. His name is Christian. </div>
<div>
<br></div><div>JT shared some personal stuff with all of us and I enjoyed learning more about him. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
<div>
A few things most DO NOT know about me….</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
I have worked many odd jobs...I can drive a forklift, I was a credit card fraud investigator for 3 yrs, worked for my best friend and his father’s construction company briefly, I know how to build websites, worked in Master Control for FOX28, a radio personality for 5 FM stations here in Central Ohio, etc. </div>
<div>
I’ve proven repeatedly that money only goes so far in life. I’ve broke up with a “rich girl” on more than one occasion because I was more attracted to a down-to-earth girl making barely minimum wage instead. </div>
<div>
At age 17, I was diagnosed with cancer and given six months to live. </div>
<div>
My parents did their homework and discovered St. Jude and I still fly regularly to/from Memphis, TN to help out whenever I can. My father and Fred Ricart are friends and put together a St. Jude’s benefit about ten years ago. This is an annual event held in July with 100% of the proceeds going to the hospital.</div>
<div>
I LOVE 80’s music! Journey, Billy Idol, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, etc. I opened up for Wang Chung and The Fixx this past weekend at the Hollywood Casino and it was a dream come true! In August, I’ll open for the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s and in September, it’s the band Starship and John Waite.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><em>J</em></span>ust when you think you have felt every feeling possible when you perform a wedding ceremony, something always happens that makes your heart thump just a little bit. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On July 11, 2013 I was asked to do an elopement for a couple, little did I know just how exciting and extraordinary it would be. Still today I think of this couple that walked into my office, marriage license in hand wanting me to marry them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Behind them as they walked through the door was a women who introduced herself as Lisa, their daughter. She had a sparkle in her eye... as if to be just as excited as the wedding couple were.</span><br />
<br />

As they turned and faced each other you could see a sparkle in his eyes and the excitement in her smile...she laid the roses on the coffee table and then grasped each others hands so tightly and stood while I began. When it came time for them to read their vows, they both seemed nervous and as they murmured a few quit words to each other before beginning. I leaned over to their daughter Lisa and whispered "they are so sweet" she replied as she was snapping pictures "I know, I just met him yesterday". At that moment I wanted to know more, but knew the ceremony had to continue.</span><br />

A card was unfolded in her hands as she began to read her words. She read with such a soft trembling voice, trying hard to hold back the tears that kept falling down her cheeks. My heart was beating hard and the goose bumps were all over my arms as I listened and watch these two pour their hearts out to each other, like I have never heard before.</span><br />

<span><em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">S</span>cotty, you are my best friend, my true love, my protector, my brave
warrior. I think I fell in love with you the first time we danced, your chin on
my head and holding each other so close. But, good things don't always last
forever, Unforeseen circumstances took us away from our beautiful dream and I
thought I would never see you again. But then, our loving and beautiful daughter
brought us together after forty eight long years. My love for you is as strong
as ever and this time, I hope God will give us many years together. I will take
care of you, honor you, be faithful to you and spend the rest of my life loving
you. I LOVE YOU</span></em></span></div>

<span><em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">M</span>arianne, I met you 49 years ago and it was love at first sight. I had never
seen a more beautiful woman. Circumstances beyond our control kept us from being
together. Then through all the years since, I looked for you, or someone like
you, but my search was always in vain. Then, on a day not too long ago, my dream
was answered when I heard your sweet voice on the phone again. All of the
feelings from the past resurfaced and are with me <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1567">today</span>. I have found my one true love and want to take no
chances of losing it again. I love you Marianne and promise to love and cherish
you for the rest of the time I have on this earth and beyond. By saying "I do",
I fully commit to you my mind, body and soul forever......</span></em></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I knew I was watching a love story unfold right in front of me and felt so proud to be officiating this ceremony. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We finished and walked outside by the tree lined fence outside my office to get a few pictures..as we walked their daughter started telling me the story of how she found her father and of how she really did it for her mother to finally bring some happiness back into her life.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;"><em>W</em></span>ell, where do I start? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I was pretty much raised in Kansas City, MO. Then when I was 18 I married a military man and moved to Washington State, a year later my daughter Ashley was born, this was in 1985. My husband at the time had to go overseas to Korea for about a year, so I decided to go back to K.C. and stay with my mom until he returned home. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">One day my mom and I were sitting and talking about her past boyfriends and things like that, she started talking about this guy named Scotty that she use to date, they were only together for about 3 months before he had to go overseas and then on to Vietnam. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I asked what they used to do together and she said dance and hang out in bed on rainy days a lot. </span><br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I then asked what he looked like and she said, "he had reddish hair and freckles," and I jokingly said, "Hey, he sounds like he could be my dad!" Since I too had red hair and freckles, but my mom or dad did not! The look on her face when I said that really took me off guard and made me start thinking! I really didn't look like either one of my parents.</span> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I started doing some investigation and found my birth certificate and realized by the date that I was 6 months old when my mom and the dad I thought was my dad got married. I showed her that and then she told me the truth. I wasn't really surprised and I was fine with it! At that time we had no idea if my real dad was still alive or not, she thought he had died in Vietnam. So we decided to look him up and see if he was in the same town she remembered. He was and we found his number. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My mother called him and told him that I would like some pictures of him, for some reason at that time that was all I wanted, I was 25 and young! I really had no desire at that time to meet him. I forgot to mention that he always knew he had a daughter out there somewhere. So he sent us some pictures and my mom and him talked a few times and that was about it then! He was married at the time and my mother was in a relationship. So I was satisfied just to get some pictures and see what he looked like! </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For me it was like looking in the mirror! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Then we jump ahead to St. Patrick's Day 2013. I was home alone and something just came over me, I started crying and I didn't really know why! It's like something just hit me over the head and said you have to find and know your real father! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">All of a sudden I wanted this so bad! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I called my mom and told her that we needed to find my real dad again! So we both looked up different numbers and found him again! I wanted her to call so she did and got his answering machine, and new instantly that it was him. The message she left was, "This is Marianne and it's about Lisa and it's important, could you please call me back." </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Within 5 minutes he called and they talked and she told him I wanted to get to know him and meet him! He was very excited to hear this, that same night he called me and it was unbelievable how natural and easy everything was! It was like we had known each other all along. From then on we texted a few times a day and talked every few! In the meantime my mom and him were doing the same thing and began to fall in love again after 48 long years! The timing was perfect this time, neither were married or with anyone! My dad said he had always loved my mom and that's why none of his other marriages worked out because he was always looking for her! I think it took my mom a little longer to fall back in love, but she sure fell hard and as you know they are now married and act like two teenagers in love! Before you married them my mom and I planned a trip to go see him in Ohio! I live in California and so I flew to K.C. where my mom lives and then we drove to Ohio! When we pulled up to his house he was sitting on the porch and he came to greet us, I said "Hug mom first", they looked into each others eyed and didn't stop for 10 minutes! The love was so real</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and obvious! Then I went over and we all three hugged and from then on it was like a special bond that will never be broken! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We call ourselves The Three Musketeers! We then spent a week with him and never once turned the t.v. on! That was amazing, we just had so much to talk about! His family says they have never seen him this happy in his life! He is a former Marine who was in Vietnam, he saw and went through a lot there and suffers from PTSD! <br />

With the love of my mother and I, he has never been happier and finally feels like his life is complete! We all feel that way now too, none of us have ever been more happy..... it's like there was always something missing, but now everything is how it should be! The only reason I can think of as to 25 years ago when we first contacted him nothing happened, it just wasn't the right time, but it is exactly how it should be now! I want to thank you for marrying my mother and father. <br />
<br />
I wish for Scotty, Marianne and Lisa all the love in the world and thank them for allowing me to be a part of their story...The Three Musketeers!<br />

We have worked and Highly recommend Joy to our clients because of her professionalism and her beautiful work. Most important to us here is the way Joy brings with her a calming effect that every bride needs on her wedding day...along with a great personality and smile. Let's get started....<br />
<br />

<strong><em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Q: </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Joy, what made you decide to become a Professional Makeup Artist?</span></em></strong><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">I <strong><em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A</span>: </em></strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><em>I</em> </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>started doing makeup in 2001 in the cosmetics industry. With a degree
in theatre, inability to sit still in a corporate type of job all day, a new
obsession with beauty products and the need to be colorful and creative- I
decided that working in makeup was the only job I could tolerate! I started my
freelance biz in 2008, it was when a long held belief that I needed to be
self-employed became a necessity. I had been a Regional cosmetics trainer for
years on the road and was OVER being in planes, hotels and malls all the time.</em></span> </span></div>

I look back 5
years and can't believe how lost I was. Good thing I didn't know any better,
but it was a different time in weddings even in 2008. Hiring a makeup artist
wasn't thought to be a necessity until about 2010, so I got into it at the
exact right moment! I didn't used to have a contract, was totally disorganized
in my kit, had no good photos to showcase my work and loved bright colors so
much then, that I had a difficult time doing a timeless look.</em></span><br />

staring at your face close up for an hour or so. I also have a blog that has
been active for about 8 years, so people can get to know me and my work that

you can in order to be able to afford to do it for a living (and not have to
take a day-job). There are only so many days every year that people get married
and most peak months Saturdays (May-October) I will double book in a very
strategic way. I always pad my timeline so that nobody is running behind or
concerned about being late because of makeup. I always tell people that I will
not be a reason for them to worry- I leave lots of time and have done this so
many times that it is predictable how long each face will take, how long it
takes to pack up, get to the next venue, unpack and be ready to start again. I
always account for everything. And if there's ever a question of being a little
short on time, I will bring additional artists.</span></em> </span></span></span><br />

charity mass choir (200 people) called Harmony Project (</em></span><a href="http://www.harmonyproject.com/"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>www.harmonyproject.com</em></span></a><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>) that raises
funds for various programs (South High music program, revitalization of the
South Side, building a new playground, painting murals, working with Children's
Services at the holidays and raising money for bikes for foster children, among
other things). The singing is to inspire others to give back to their
community, but it's not all preachy and typical choir music- we have done songs
from Earth Wind and Fire, U2, Annie Lennox and at some shows I have a solo to
belt out. Until about 2 years ago I also played bass and was a singer/songwriter
in indie bands. Other than volunteering, I like to try new non-chain
restaurants, hang out with my often hilarious friends, cuddle with my 2 dogs,
watch youtube makeup reviews and some bad reality tv.</em></span></div>

been such a free spirit, but then I met my (now) husband and it just
made sense. He was the same way. He and I are totally obsessed with our pets: 2
dogs named Nova and Liza and our cat, Seymour. His family lives in the Columbus
area and we love to spend time with his parents, brother, sister and niece and
nephew. He and his Dad are both attorneys and love to talk shop, his Mom used
to be in the beauty industry, so we can talk shop :) His brother is a realtor
and knows EVERYONE and his sister just became a realtor is one of the most
positive and magnetic people I've ever met and she's raising 2 of the funniest
and brightest kids I've ever met.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
family lives outside of Cleveland and my sister and Mom are also really into
their dogs. Together we have a total of 8! It's too much :) <br />

Why, because you are trying not to make anyone upset in your families, at the office and at church. Guess what.....your office and church are not paying for your wedding and more than likely your families may not be able to contribute as much as they would like to. </div><div><br></div><div>Grab your paper and pencil......got it? Now grab that guest list you have been working on, it might be on your computer or iPad.....print it off, I'll wait.......the first page should be printed by now so let's begin. </div><div><br></div><div><b><i>List A List B. List C</i></b></div><div><b><i><br></i></b></div><div><i>Family. Friends. Work, Church...oh and local bar, gym and book club</i></div><div><i><br></i></div><div><i>Moms, Dads, Friends of Moms and Dads The girl you ran next to on the treadmill</i></div><div><i>Siblings Your favorite bartender</i></div><div><i><br></i></div><div><i>Close Relatives. The co-workers next to your cubical</i></div><div><i><br></i></div><div><i>Close friends</i></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>List A is all the important people in your life, moms, dads, sisters, brothers along with their spouses and boyfriends or girlfriends as well as their kids (unless you are having Adult Only). Close Aunts, Uncles and their kids, you know the close cousins you grew up with....oh and don't forget their spouses and kids. Close friends, everyone has a few that they need to invite right? Remember their spouses and kids too.</div><div>If your from a large family you have the potential of 150 guest just for your list A. A couple years ago I wrote a blog about the guest list if anyone remembers here were the numbers back then if you just cut out 10 guest. One full table can cost so much more these days. See below. You can have your dream wedding as long as you cut that guest list down to where you are comfortable with the per person price point. Below the numbers are low, everyone always just thinks about food per person, but if you add in everything else you could be looking at $85.00 to $160.00 or more per person. </div><div><br></div><div>Hope this has helped just one couple think about having the wedding of their dreams.</div><div><br></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; ">Food and Bar $60.00 per person = $600.00<br>Chair cover & Sash $ 4.00 per person = $ 40.00<br>Centerpiece $60.00 per table = $ 60.00<br>Invitations $ 5.00 per invite = $ 50.00<br>Programs $ 2.00 per person = $ 20.00<br>Favors $ 4.00 per person = $ 40.00<br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; ">Cake $ 5.00 per person = $ 50.00</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span><div><br></div></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1AozSf_QgLoFtFG6N0Td1DHZYV2RQkrrIp1RKZqfxgxNJ5U-WiRc46E1uipZIRiI-VfV64MTlgQrkKvRqRwfFhu8-F-4b4DoCZx_E47LuC-Zz_bsq_uhO6postnZWspjU2kSgdLEqCwE/s640/blogger-image-329704704.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1AozSf_QgLoFtFG6N0Td1DHZYV2RQkrrIp1RKZqfxgxNJ5U-WiRc46E1uipZIRiI-VfV64MTlgQrkKvRqRwfFhu8-F-4b4DoCZx_E47LuC-Zz_bsq_uhO6postnZWspjU2kSgdLEqCwE/s640/blogger-image-329704704.jpg"></a></div>Party Planners Plushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16160092798787970486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118548543951135127.post-15217926658279920902013-04-11T14:05:00.000-07:002013-04-11T14:05:06.499-07:00Our New WebsiteWe are so excited about doing our New Website!

Brides today are still wanting the color Purple in all its beautiful shades. From a very pale purple for their dress to the Candy Buffet that is still going strong for 2013. This collection of photos from Pinterest is gorgeous....enjoy!<br />

<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Every
couple wants to save money planning their wedding. Even couples with an
unlimited budget still search for that one thing where they can absolutely
say....."I'm not paying that much".</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Let me
give you 3 little tips to save on money while budgeting for your wedding day when planning the Bar.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<u><strong><o:p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></o:p><span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Three
Tips for a Hosted Bar:</span></span></strong></u></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Hosting
the Bar at your reception is always a big chunk of change. Instead of doing a
"Full Hosted Bar",</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Think
about just offering a few selections such as Beer, Wine and a Signature Drink.
Guest will love that you are not making them pay for their beverages at your
wedding that you invited them to.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">I get
that some couples have a Cash Bar using excuses such as...."we can't
afford to buy everyone drinks"</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Seriously,
if your inviting them, then you should not be making them pay. If you need to
cut down on the number of guest then do it! Trust me, as a wedding planner I
hear guest talk and when guest are having to buy their own drinks guest blurt
out some really harsh words. So budget in for at least a few beverages that
guest will not have to pay for and if they want something different then by all
means let them pay.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Have an
amount in mind that you do not want to go over during your reception. Have the
Captain inform your Wedding Coordinator or someone you have asked to be
informed when it is getting close to your limit. You then can decide to do away
with beer or wine or tell them to keep it going.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><strong>Here is a
strategy that I suggest to my brides:</strong></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">1: Consider
only having Cocktail Hour for 30 to 45 minutes. This is where you will be
offering Beer, Wine and your Signature Drink</span></span></div>

What theme? WHY THEY'RE FUN AND HOW TO INCLUDE THEM IN YOUR CEREMONY by Celia Milton, Celebrant<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969);">That sounds like it might be fun, but it also sounds like......</span><br />
it's going to be a lot of work. Well, actually, not! By establishing your personality as a couple, it can actually save you time by making your choices very focused. Your theme will weave it's way through every aspect of your day, from the "save the dates" to the ceremony, decorations, flowers, reception style, to the last bite of wedding cake. Once you find the theme that expresses you, every other detail will fall into place. Think "Old Hollywood" or "Weekend in Las Vegas" and you think of two entirely different atmospheres. "Bling Bling" gives you different details than "Winter Winery". Even a color can be a theme; colors carry different emotions and symbolisms. Yello and Hyacinth speak differently than black and white. If you close your eyes and think of any one of those themes, you'll get very clear visions of what you might pick to portray them.<br />
<br />
Search for photos that define your theme and start a file of different elements you might include to carry it out. When you meet with your professionals, it will give them a clear idea of the vision you have. Different people imagine themes in different ways; your florist may think of "Elegant country" in an entirely different way than you do. Your DJ may have a different suggestion for a "funky recessional" than you had in mind.<br />
<br />
Once you have a theme in place, you'll find that it's so much easier to make decisions; if you're creating " A Night in New York City", you're probably going to immediately rule out wildflowers on the tables and pastel colored invitations. "Haute Rustique" might mean all kinds of things, but probably not purple uplights and crystal laden centerpieces.<br />
<br />
While you certainly want to base your day on your theme, balance is good thing. You'll want to include it as part of your save the dates, your invitations (maybe as a quote) but not necessarily everywhere. It should be present as a character, but not overwhelming. It's like a really good party guest that shows up all over the place but doesn't monopolize the conversation!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But how does this fit into my ceremony?<br />
<br />
I thought you'd never ask. The easiest way to add your theme to your wedding is through readings and music. Your readings can be anything from an excerpt from your favorite author, a poem, a selection from a sacred text, or even some lyrics from a favorite song. (One of my weddings last summer had "Find a lucky penny" as their theme; the bride had collected them since she was a child. She used, "The Luckiest" from Ben Folds as both a guest reading and their first dance; it was lovely.) Obviously, you can pick your favorite music for the processional and recessional, but maybe a snippet can be played as you light the unity candle, pour the sand, or share chocolate and wine.<br />
<br />
Your ceremony can also reflect your theme in the ceremony text. It would be hard to do a beach theme wedding without mentioning 'shifting sands' or 'tides of change'. A wedding in a forest or a park is the perfect time to talk about the exploration that is part of building a relationship. (Curiously, this works beautifully for my Brooklyn weddings too; I talk about the new settlers bringing art and culture to areas that were formally industrial or abandoned.) Your ceremony should tell your story, and that story is what your theme will underscore.<br />
<br />
So close your eyes and go on a daydream; what do you love? Where did you meet? Where was your first kiss? Why did you pick your ceremony spot? All these questions can lead you to the perfect theme and a simpler, more personal wedding day.<br />
