The preparations…

Even without a drop of makeup on she lookes like a million bucks.

This was clearly the ’70s!

My mom has always had a sense of humor…
Yeah, it’s a little cheesy but look at how much fun they’re having!
You wouldn’t leave your best friend out of your wedding, would you? What if your best friend is a dog? And I don’t mean the kind that can be fixed by your hair and makeup team… I mean a real dog! I have for dogs and I love them all very much. CousCous, Bingo TJ and Pepper. CousCous could easliy be trusted with human responsibilities but she is too busy taking care of her insane little brothers. Check out this article by Joy Boggs; How to Include the Family Dog in Your Wedding Ceremony.

I’ve spent some time on YouTube today watching wedding videos, just to see what goes on after the hair and makeup team goes home. Thank goodness for hair spray and fashion tape because some of you lovely brides and grooms just go plum crazy. Here’s one example from Rina & Nick who put their own spin on the first dance.

I’ve been chatting with a potential new client today, who will be getting married in May. When she said she wanted her brides maids all to wear orchids in their hair, my little heart skipped a beat and visions of orchids went dancing through my head.
White orchids, ruffly orchids, small clusters of orchids, large singular orchids, and pink orchids too; brightening up an otherwise gray and dreary day.
I hope she books me!

One of my favorite clients ever, Jessica, sent this bit of wedding humor to me a few weeks after her wedding and now I’m sharing it with you…
A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman’s face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn’t graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny. So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin. However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his buttocks.
The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.
After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman’s new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before! All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty!
One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice.
She said, “Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay you.”
“My darling,” he replied, “think nothing of it. I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek.”
