Hakuna Matata!!

I have been planning weddings a long long time and there is one thing I have learned......sometimes things go wrong. It may seem elementary but it's a hard concept for some people to grasp.
As a wedding planner brides expect me to guarantee that on their wedding day there will be no mistakes....ahh touche! As a wedding planner it is my job to make sure that when mistakes or problems arise that they are solved and no one knows about them!
A wedding day is supposed to be the most important day in a young girls life. This is the day that she celebrates being in love and beginning her new life with the man of her dreams. This day is not supposed to contain unexpected situations, unexpected guests or least of all unexpected weather! But life isn't perfect and a wedding day is certainly part of life.

To illustrate my point I have a little story for you. This month Erica and I were working one of our larger weddings. We had worked for the last several months with this sweet couple and their gracious families. They were leaving It up to us to make sure everything was perfect! That afternoon Erica and I were running around in our usual manner making sure that every detail was in place. I was standing over the escort table making sure that everything was in place when the brides aunt rounded the corner with a look of panic and fear on her sweet face.
"The cake has a hole in it!", she said.
"Oky doky," I replied, "Let's go have a look."
As I opened the door to the conference room where the cake was in hiding I immediately noticed a perfectly rounded thumb size hole in the corner of this beautiful fondant covered cake.

Didn't notice the hole in the first picture? Neither did the bride.

You see as the planner of this event I made the executive decision to not tell the bride or the rest of the family and simply turn the cake away from the guests making the hole completely non-visible. Problem solved.

So for all you anxious brides out there..as you worry about the last minute details and whether or not Aunt Betty ordered Salmon or Prime Rib remember, roll with the punches, enjoy the day.

In the words of a wart hog...."It's our problem free, philosophy...Hakuna Matata! Hakuna. Matata. Hauna. Matata....
