Wedding Wrap Up

2008-07-09T13:23:00.000-07:00

Well, that was the craziest wedding ever. They said when you get married up to three things can go wrong, but we had way more, but we covered them up pretty smoothly.

- we had no JP on the dress rehearsal day
- bridesmaids wore each other dresses so some dresses were shorter in length than others
- brother parked behind parents car such that they could not get out
- shortage of chairs at the hall
- venue was warm for the guests but cooled down later

However, overall the party was great because of the people.

Stay tuned for photos!

Okay, our day of wedding plans are set. It is going to be DIY style, meaning help yourself to everything. There will be no servers, pop will be served in cans, bottled water, etc...

Engagement Photographer Secured

2007-09-25T12:48:00.001-07:00

Good news, we have had a great response so far to our idea and have secured a photographer. Keep the referrals coming. Thank you Butterfly Photography. Stay tuned for our engagement photos!

Where did this all begin?

2007-09-07T08:00:00.000-07:00

Well, a long time ago I (Karen) was reading an Enquirer magazine and came across an article about a guy having this crazy idea of having a sponsored wedding. His other half wasn't open to it of course, but the guy was game and bet her he could do it. Believe it or not, he made it happen!

Growing up, I told myself if I ever get married one day I would love to do something as amazing as this, but with a twist to it. I told my fiance that this was what I wanted to do and he thought I was crazy too. He said okay if you can get some interest, I'll support your idea and low and behold I posted to craigslist and the response was fantastic.

My vision for this wedding is to help entrepreneurs like my fiance and I help gain exposure to build their business. There are many great entrepreneurs out there, but they just need to be given that opportunity show off their stuff which is what my fiance and I want to give them. We want our wedding suppliers to show off their best stuff. Their success is our success. We want them to look good!

The wedding industry is a very competitive industry such that consumers have so many choices. It's not until the supplier receives a referral, or a consumer sees their product somewhere that is to their liking does a consumer decide to go with them. Not only that, but having the product showcased on someone usually sells better than on a hanger display.

We want to help create opportunities!

Love
Karen and Abe
