a little Christmas poem …
Guest blogger: Craig Sumsky, Director, Cutting Edge Entertainment Twitter: cuttingedgedjs
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when he asked for her hand,
And shortly thereafter a wedding was planned.
They first looked at places for a reception so grand,
Then pondered the question “A DJ or Band?”
They wanted things festive, classy and fun,
And with that thought in mind the search had begun.
They first shopped for bands and their music was nice,
But they took pause to book them because of the price.
So they met with a DJ and booked him with haste,
With a wide range of music for everyone’s taste.
So they planned and they planned for the big wedding day,
And they picked out the songs for the DJ to play.
The DJ had all of the tunes that they chose,
With the radio versions that everyone knows.
And when the time came for the big wedding night,
The DJ introduced them and said the names right.
The guests all were dancing and then danced some more,
And they danced the whole evening til’ their feet were sore.
And when it was over, and the music was done,
The guests all agreed it was sure lots of fun.
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Thank you Craig, that was an awesome poem!
Happy Holidays, everyone!
featured on the stylish planner
The Stylish Planner is the brain child of Jeannine Kennedy whom I met at a conference (Eventology 09) in April of this year. I didn’t get to speak with her a lot but I remember sitting behind her during one of the sessions.
I did the total “girl thing” and looked at her up and down. I remember thinking, “She is so stylish and cute…a little southern lady”.
So when Jeannine decided to start a website that was geared for professional event planners about their personal style, fashion and beauty … I wasn’t surprised at all. I was however SHOCKED when she called me and asked if I would like to be a featured planner.
Me? For real? Surprisingly, she was not kidding. For pete’s sake, I had to follow Kelly McWilliams the cutest little planner on earth.
So here’s my feature if you would like to get to know a little more about me. And thanks Jeannine for the honor!
…bringing sexy back
When brides go shopping for their wedding dress they will definitely look at ALL angles of their wedding dress, but usually a lot of attention to detail is focused on the front of their wedding dress.
What if though, the back of your dress was the THE focal point? We’ve had a couple of brides that pulled that look off beautifully!

Above is our bride, Kristin Gross Duke, she married Zach Duke who’s a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. She is a vivacious little thing with a terrific figure! The back of her dress, while gorgeous from the front, was definitely the show-stopper. If you wish to read about her wedding, we blogged the last few days.
Then there is our most recent bride, Kerry Strum Brames (we’ll be featuring her wedding shortly). Kerry is a very articulate and intelligent person who is not shy, but certainly holds herself with decorum and modest character.
Who better to pull off this incredibly, sexy dress? My jaw dropped when I saw it. So gorgeous and uber fabulous. The front was pretty…. but the back was INCREDIBLE.
(And you can see why I’m not a photographer, I stopped her in the hall of the church to take a photo really quick and didn’t notice the crock pot behind her. *sigh*)
Well done ladies….definitely unique!
it’s almost 2010…
It has really been a very long year. Almost everyone I talk to has had it hard. Personally, it has been a roller coaster (many deaths in the family: 5 people this year have passed that I was close to and one of our dogs). The only thing that kept me going was the awesome clients and beautiful weddings we produced.
Considering all that and my weird sense of humor, take a look at these glorious Christmas Cards that are so very, very apropos:
These letter press gems are from ABCD Design in New York and created by Amy Beth Cupp Dragoo (she may have too many names – but she has even more talent). I love her stationery because it so unique, quirky and just plain interesting….
…..just like this Christmas Card. You can buy these little beauties at etsy.
Now unless you actually got married or engaged this year, I say jump on it. You’ll definitely will make an impression on your friends!
Thank you Jessica from Penned and Pretty for bringing these cards to my attention! It made me smile today.
ten reasons why santa sucks
Christmas is an enigma to me because I never grew up celebrating it. And since it’s been awhile since I bummed you out by poking fun at this hectic and crazed holiday…
Ten reasons why I think Santa sucks:
- Santa is not the healthiest dude. In this day and age, when The Biggest Loser is one of the most watched TV shows on prime time and a President who is promoting a healthier lifestyle by setting the right example, in December we celebrate and an extremely overweight and facially unkempt old man. I love that we are cutting a little slack to the elderly, personally I plan on putting on an extra 20 lbs and wearing it proudly in my twilight years. But we all know that ”fat” around the middle is one of the most unhealthiest areas to gain additional weight. Santa is about 2 chocolate chip cookies away from stroking out in some unsuspecting child’s living room.
- Santa is an animal abuser. You would think that after all these years, Santa would retire the reindeer: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolf (yes, I had to look those names up). How old do you think they are? Like a gazillion years? Those poor little reindeer have wore their little hooves to the quick and deserve to chew on grass in a pasture that is warmer than the North Pole. Besides, after doing ALL the work on Christmas Eve and pulling that jolly, ‘ole, fat dude — their backs, DEFINITELY need a break.
- Santa is discriminatory. I know that I can’t put a bunch of people’s names on a list and walk around touting that they are “bad” or “good”. Seems to me it’s a lot like a Mafia hit list and completely unfounded. Who’s to say who is bad or good? Why are we listening to a man who has no children. (Don’t get me started on the elves, that’s just weird).
- Santa pretends he’s poor. I know he wears JUST that red suit, belt buckle and funky hat/shoes every single year as if he can’t afford to go out and buy a new wardrobe. But think about it. This guy has more marketing products that sell his name, face and goods. Santa has GOT to be getting some unaccounted residuals and probably making him some serious bank.
- Santa is a recluse. Look, this guy comes out ONCE year. ONCE. For 24 hours. Don’t you find that odd and a bit creepy? What goes on up there at the North Pole? This country is not tolerant of super private groups, remember Waco and Neverland Ranch? I’m surprised the Feds haven’t made a visit.
- Santa is taking over other holidays. We get so pumped up for Christmas (well, retailers) that Christmas decorations are starting to come out around Halloween. I think it’s a little selfish of Santa. What next? We’ll be singing Deck the Halls while watching a fireworks display on the Fourth of July?
- Santa is not eco-friendly. Christmas pine trees, plastic decor, lights sucking wasteful energy and tons of wrapping paper that get used one time. I rest my case.
- Santa appears to be uneducated. He really has a limited vocabulary. “Ho-Ho-Ho”, “Meeeeerrrrry Christmas”, “Have you been bad or good little girl/boy?”. I’d like to find out his thoughts on the theory of relativity or the crisis in the Middle East.
- Santa is a sexist husband. Talk about keeping women in the dark ages. He doesn’t even take Mrs. Claus out for a sleigh ride. She doesn’t even have a first name! Nope, she’s just the little woman who stays home and cooks his meals.
- Santa encourages lying. Don’t be hatin’, cause you know it’s true. That fat, jolly dude couldn’t walk on a roof much less fly down the chimney. But that’s what we tell our kids.
Merry Christmas! *snicker*
