Top 10 Things I Love About My Job

      1.     I love that I HAVE to read Martha Stewart Weddings as an important function of what I do.

      2.     I love going to 25 weddings a year without having to shop for the perfect gift.

3.     I love crab cakes (and who else, besides a wedding planner and maybe a caterer gets to eat them roughly every other weekend?).

4.     I love Sweet Home Alabama, especially the first few notes.

5.     I love bridal shows, trade shows, expos and pretty much any event that involves 6-foot banquet tables, personalized pens, brochures and coupons and a mass of humanity.  My next job will probably be giving out food samples at Costco on Saturdays. lol

6.     I love giving a hug instead of saying I told you so when I’m thanked by a hard-to-convince groom or father-of-the bride at the end of a successful wedding.

7.     I love baby pictures – the first mark of success to come out of many of our weddings.

8.     I love wedding cake – but I don’t love fondant (looks pretty enough to eat, but lets all face it – it’s awful stuff).

9.     I love how accomplished I feel when I first try to get out of bed the morning after a wedding,   I love the cramped feet, the hunch in my back and the red eyes – clearly it means a job well done.

10.  I love that my job is real, and hard, and that a lot of people neither respect it nor understand it…especially those who covet it.  I don’t mind a challenge, and I love proving negative people wrong.
