I'm in the middle of packing and finalizing all the details for our move on Friday, but wanted to quickly write about the wonderful wedding I coordinated on Saturday. Asa and Alison were just the most lovely people, and their wedding was filled with special touches, which made their day so meaningful for everyone in attendance.
Alison and Asa really incorporated their heritage into the ceremony and reception. They spent their time, and had their MC, thank everyone for coming from far and wide (including many, many other countries). It was the special details that made everyone feel so welcome and happy to be a part of their unique celebration.
One moment stands out in my memory, which is when Asa's father made his toast. He gave Asa a list of 13 tips to make his marriage the most important facet of his life. Then, he blessed Asa (they are from Uganda) -- it was absolutely so heartfelt and moving.
So, when planning your wedding, don't overlook the small touches. While the color of the flowers, your decor and the menu all contribute to making your day memorable, when it really comes down to it, it's your family and friends that make all the difference!
Until next time, happy planning...
