One of my previous clients, Kristen Duggan, sent me an email today. She’s been married for a few years now so she can really appreciate the humor in this cartoon.
It was so cute, I had to post. If you are a groom, I wouldn’t suggest this approach towards your new wife.
Plan on! -saundra
I can’t….seem….to…..leave……YouTube!
I saved the best video for last. One thing I always tell my clients, make your wedding unique to you. Forgo the usual and expected.
Huge props to this wedding couple who made their first dance something that everyone will remember for a long time. In fact, it was picked up my Good Morning America.
Fabulousicious!
Planning on! -saundra
In my continuing saga of being addicted to wedding dancing videos I find on YouTube, you have to check out my next find.
This beautiful bride and twinkle-toed groom pain-staking took the time to learn the ENTIRE dance from the finale of Dirty Dancing.
I don’t know about you. But I smiled throughout the whole video!!!
Plan on! -saundra
Stumbled across this video on YouTube. The bride/groom made their wedding party memorize and learn every aspect of the Michael Jackson Thriller Video in advance of the reception.
Four STARS!!! You up for doing something unique and crazy at your wedding? I guarantee you guests are talking about this for years…..
Plan on! -saundra
Just wanted to give a shout out to a very dear couple, Lindsay and Steven Charles! Celebrating their 3rd anniversary today, I remember having so much fun with them planning their wedding. One of the things that stood out was that even though they were high school sweethearts, they saved their pennies and nickels to host their own fabulous and rather large wedding. The benefit of that? They did it their way.
They wrote a great thank you letter to me, which I appreciated so much. And have told all their friends about my wedding planning skills! Lindsay will be my attorney once she finishes her law school and gets back to Evansville!
Cheers to you two! Have a great one!

This is a true heart-filled story with this real-life wedding. Around the beginning of May, I received a phone call from a very polite young man, named Lenny Tidwell. He explained that his fiance, Christine O’Brien, and him were planning a destination wedding at the end of the year. However, they are having to MOVE up the wedding post haste because she is still in the Army and is going to be deployed to Iraq very shortly (her third tour overseas).
Obviously, he had my attention. I explained we had no time to waste….and he said, “Yes, Ma’am” (which made me want to turn around and look for my mother, but I digress).
We did it in 6 weeks. Lenny was AWESOME! Everyday he had a list of things to do, homework if you will. We’d check in with each other and make sure everything was going smoothly. I have no idea HOW we were able to pull together the vendors I wanted for this special wedding, a last minute JUNE wedding, but we did. There was probably someone higher than us helping it move along.
They wanted an small ceremony that would include only close friends and family, about 45 people. I found two locations and they chose the 5th floor of the Victory Theatre. One side was the ceremony and the other the sit-down, open bar reception. GREAT venue.
I was able to meet Christine one time, get her input on flowers and likes/dislikes. But basically had to do this on my own with Lenny. He did a GREAT job. What a great groom!!! Of course once Christine was back in town, he was demoted….HA!!!
It was one of the coolest and most memorable weddings I have had to date. Tight budget, but BIG on LOVE. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room (including vendors) when Christine thanked everyone for coming. She wanted a wedding and party that everyone could remember, just in case, well…..you know.
Here are some pics from the wedding. Thank you Ginger Harper and Ed Mason from SMG for helping out sooo much. Thank you Heidi Wagner with Eye Candy Photography for the pics below and being the fabulous photographer/person you are. And last but not least, Sally Barker, my fave designer who hooked me up with some seriously cool looking floral!
Enjoy!
