So many of my brides tell me they feel anxious about all eyes watching her on wedding day…. I know you will be so caught up in the moments that day, you won’t realize you are the center of attention one little bit! Enjoy the moments!

I had the honor of planning this wedding for Trame

I had the honor of planning this wedding for Trameika and Joe several several years ago and to this day these two remain very dear to my heart. I love their spirit, their attitude towards life and especially the strong love they have for each other and their families. I loved our story of our first meeting together - my Mom was with me this day and I brought her along to our initial meeting where Mom agreed she would go shopping while I met with this new bride and groom. Well Mom and the groom Joe are both from New York and talked pretty much the whole meeting! At first I was a bit baffled on how to get our conversations back on track and send Mom out to shop but New Yorkers have their own language and attitudes and it definitely won out. They hired me anyway which I was completely grateful and honestly surprised! We left that first meeting planning a themed wedding of “New York glam meets Southern Tradition” and put together a wedding team that became family for life....and Mom and Joe laughing saying “see you at the wedding” and “Leave the gun, take the cannoli“ (for all you The Godfather fans)

We also learned this day that Joe was a first responder EMT in NYC on 9-11 where he and his brave partner helped save many many lives on that tragic day. Joe was the only one of the two who made it home that night and it humbles me still knowing what these two men, along with so many others, did for American people and so many sacrifices that were made that day to save so many others.

So thank you to Joe and his sweet wife Trameika for giving me the honor of serving you on your wedding day. It will never come close to how Joe and his partner served every single American on 9-11 but I know I am truly grateful for their service to all of us. #wewillneverforget
