So these are the times that I can say I LOVE what I do. I got a phone call from Nicole (my bride from last night) this morning (the morning after her wedding) letting me know that she cannot thank me enough and I absolutely made her night. I love when I hear that. Your wedding day is the single most important day of your life, so from introductions to the grand exit, I want to make every single experience extra-ordinary.
The evening started off with 30 extra guest showing up unexpected, so my beautiful bride was a little uneasy about having enough food to feed them. As the the bridal party was lined up in the hallway before introductions, I was in the back with Nicole. She expressed her concerns and at that point, I just looked at her and I said, "Nicole, this is the point in the evening that you let it all go. Forget what time is it. And have no worries. If absolutely anything goes wrong, I will take care of it for you. I will take all of your worries. I have been in your shoes before and I know how nervous you are" Then I asked her to take a deep breath for me and I said "I want you to promise me one thing..." Nicole said, "okay" And I said "Promise me that you will have the time of your life tonight and not worry." And from that point forward, she let me take over the drivers seat and with the help of some amazing vendors, we made it happen!
Intro's, first dance, toast, welcome from dad and blessing went perfect.After that I made sure Nicole and David always have a beverage in hand - all I knew is that my bride and groom were going to be taken care of not matter what it took.
Now my favorite part! DANCING! For the next hour we had the dance floor packed. At one point, Nicole wanted one of the groomsman to do freestyle rap - all I can say is... I can't wait to see the video on that one. She was having so much fun that she extended me for an extra half hour for more dancing.
I loved seeing the smiles on Nicole and David's faces as they were dancing with their friends. It just reminds me how much I love what I do and how much I love being a part of a once in a lifetime event.
Oh, did I mention that we managed to have enough food for the extra 30 people that showed up. :)
My bride was happy! Congrats Nicole & David.
I want to thank these vendors for helping the night run so smoothly.
