The Wedding Planner...

So it's been quite a bit since I've posted anything, and anything positive for that matter has been difficult to think of, so I figured waiting till greatness came to mind or happened would make it all the better :)
A couple of weeks ago was Wedding #2 and what a success it was :) My longtime friend married his longtime girl and they make the perfect pair!!! :) I grew up with Georgie, his mother is my momma's best friend from high school. We've been through everything and I couldn't imagine not being a part of his biggest and special day :) I had the honor of coordinating their reception. I think I was asked more because I'm a bossy bitch but nevertheless I was honored all the same :) The venue was a rec. center with a stage and a big auditorium. It had to be huge, we had over 300 guests. I show to the venue after the long Mass at St. Edwards just to make sure all of the vendors were in line and the table settings, dance floor, etc. were in tip top shape. Biggest crush on the DJ by the way:) but I'll get to that later... 3 hours between ceremony and reception left plenty of time for the vendors to set up.. or one would think.. the tables weren't lined up right so I had to do some relocating.. The linens were not on all of the tables and chairs and by the time it hit 2:30- 3pm (mind u I'm expecting the guests to start arriving at 330) There were no glasses or silver on the table as they should have been. So I had to get my hands dirty and help the help!! Thank goodness my sisters were there to help me.. I couldn't imagine the bride and groom showing up with nothing done. After everything and a bit of sweat, the tables were set, food was assembled, champagne was coming and guests were arriving. It was a success!!! The bride looked amazing and my good friend was a handsome groom!! The DJ was awesome.. he helped so much with the coordination of all of the formalities, Father daughter dance, Mother Son dance, bouquet toss, Group photo... everything and the music was awesome.. We exchanged #s at the end of the night!! lol.. couldn't help myself :) Needless to say, I got $200 for the night!! It was fun and something I may look into as far as party planning and wedding coordinating.. I know a lot of vendors for inexpensive costs and great work :)
