Rainy Day Thoughts

Oh blog, how I've missed thee...let me count the ways!

If you are a usual follower of the blog you'll realize that I've taken a hiatus for a few months. I wish I had a good excuse, but the truth is between client weddings, expanding the destination arm of POSH, the studio redesign, new staffing, planning my own wedding and a little thing called life, I've really been swamped.

I'm often conflicted. Should I blog just for the sake of blogging? Even if it's not quality? I realize these days "blogging" can make you look busier than you are, more educated than you are, and like an expert in a world where the reality is your peers are actually WORKING and focusing quality customer service to existing clients.

As I peek out the window, look at the massive amounts of rain flooding the area and reflect on the last few months, I realize that I really miss my blog and the virtual family that resulted. So here I am, starting again. Renewed spirit and plenty of content to share.

My gorgeous bride Ellie, who is currently on her honeymoon, sent me a link to this blog post last week as we anxiously awaited the final accu-weather results on her weather for Saturday. Final Answer=Rain.

She asked that I share this link with future brides as she found it helpful to ease her nerves for Saturday. As a future bride myself (with the great fear of a blizzard on our day), I can certainly relate. The article is from the blog Kiss the Groom and I hope it brings you comfort on your big day!

And just in case that wasn't enough...here you go. Our gorgeous bride on a rainy yet perfect day! (Picture courtesy of Entwined Studio)

Sneak Peak-Jennifer and Colby

It's raining here in Philadelphia today and I'm a bit under the weather. If never before, I definitely needed a reason to smile.

Introducing Colby & Jennifer.



I can't wait to share more details from this extraordinary wedding in the upcoming weeks but for now, witness what true love looks like. This is why we do what we do.

Happy Friday!

So, what's your favorite...

Wedding movie?





I was reading Kelly's blog today and she had a picture from my ultimate favorite wedding movie (which I shamelessly permanently borrowed)-My Best Friend's wedding. I know the movie is a bit "corny" and TBS has rerun it enough to make all of us sick, but what can I say? I love it! I'm not sure if it's because I love Julia Roberts or all of the moments in the movie where I can chime in and sing along or still laugh after all of these years. My favorite part of the movie? By far, the scene at the end where she's chasing Michael and he's chasing Kimmy and her gay best friend (who's character I love by the way) says (and this is not a quote-I change this line everytime) Jules, if he's chasing her and you're chasing him, who's chasing you? NOBODY! That's your answer...". I LOVE IT!

So, I've confessed my little secret. Now it's your turn! What's your favorite wedding movie/scene?

Are the Greeks on to something?

In Athens, Greece, there is a tax drive which proposes deductions for weddings in an effort to crack down on tax evasion and reducing the country's fiscal debt. Under the new law, taxpayers would be able to deduct 40 per cent of annual spending on wedding receptions amongst other family related costs. The theory behind the proposed law is to improve tax collections and reduce tax evasion by encouraging individuals to collect receipts for these events.


With the average cost of Weddings in this area at $28,000 (the majority of Weddings I coordinate actually average between $30k-$100k) a 40% deduction would be pretty sweet! Hmmm…maybe the Greeks are onto something?
