When we got married last November I thought that I could plan all of my wedding events by myself, with the help of Vince of course. We certainly did succeed at this, but I lost small parts of my sanity in the process. Thankfully we had a week long honeymoon in Puerto Rico where I could reclaim this sanity and relax and bask in the sun and bliss of being married.
This photo (as you may have guessed) was snapped by my sister-in-law Michelle at our rehearsal. I think our faces communicate our feelings that night--I'm stressed but smiling, Vince is a little nervous maybe? What happened that evening was that people were late, I wanted to wait for them to be there to begin, plus I wanted to talk to everyone that was there and things were running behind. I had laid out exactly how I wanted the rehearsal to go, instructions on paper that were not communicated well to anyone else. My bad.
Thankfully my dear friend Kelly was able to get things on track and she ran the show for the night. She got everyone in line, and organized and got the ball rolling. For this I am eternally grateful because without her I don't know what might have happened to our rehearsal, we certainly would have gotten to eat a lot later than anticipated.
And this is where I wish I would have hired a wedding planner to coordinate the rehearsal and the day of the wedding. It would have meant the planner being on the phone with people, that same planner would have gotten the show on the road so that Kelly would have been able to enjoy the experience with us as we prepared for our wedding day, and that planner would have told me to take a deep breath and take it all in.
This is what I want to give to you as a planner--peace of mind that the details are taken care of, that every "t" is crossed and "i" dotted and that those that need to know also have this information, and most important: that you get to relax and enjoy what you have worked so hard on.
If you want to enjoy this but don't need help with the planning process, I have a wonderful Day of Coordination package that you will be interested in, contact me and we can set up a coffee date to discuss it!
Former brides out there: Did you hire a wedding planner or day of coordinator? If you didn't, do you wish you would have? Was there any wedding hiccup that a planner could have averted?
