Currently in Las Vegas… another big trip nearly done. 10 days away from home is hours away from being complete. I’m going to miss absolutely everyone that took the time to have conversation with me. Once again, I’ve met many, many new friends and colleagues. Meeting up with those I eagerly await sharing ideas and […]

Ok… I know… they’re all supposed to be looking at me right?! Well in this case, the man who was signing “Sweet Caroline” at the top of his lungs into my microphone had their (nearly) undivided attention! I really should have figured out who he was, anyone have any idea? He was an asset to […]

The Wedding Toast. A Welcome. A Thank You. Watching Billy Crystal host the Academy Awards is a real treat. Witnessing Steve Jobs unveil the latest gadget offering from Apple had an unmistakable excitement to it. Letting Barack Obama capture you with his careful delivery of carefully chosen words has won him two presidencies. Have you […]

2013 is officially here… and I’m going to start it off right, by not letting go of 2012!  Why you ask? Well there were some great weddings from October and one in November that I didn’t find the time to write recaps about. And because I’ve received a lot of great feedback about the stories, […]

With the year 2012 only hours away from coming to a close, I find myself looking back — with some disbelief I might add — at some of the adventures that came my way this year and the path that has led to the start of another January. The year started with a new sense […]

The trip home is nearly complete. What an amazing time it’s been. Easily another entry into the “I love my job” category that seems to have been a running theme over the past few months. Courtney & Taigan got married. They danced. We shared great food. Tributes and welcomes to the two of them were […]

Yesterday afternoon, as the bus pulled into Hotel Las Brisas Ixtapa a very surreal feeling came across me. I was sitting beside Joni, a guest from Kyle & Alyssa’s July 21st wedding (remember the “running late Grand Entrance video”?) earlier this summer. She was the one responsible for having given Courtney & Taigan my name three months […]

Holidays. So good. I can’t say enough about how special this trip has been. Bringing my two little girls (8 weeks & 22 months) to my birthplace, the Netherlands, has been so beautiful. They’ve been troopers. We all survived the flight over and are now settling into the new 7 hour time difference. I’m stopping […]

One week ago today, Jon & Ashley poured their individual lives together into one — never to be separated again. They symbolized this by mixing together a cocktail as part of their wedding ceremony. A new “vino” was created, the two parts never to be removed from each other again. Their day continued on in […]

Another chapter in the “I Love My Job” category. I work with amazing wedding couples. Each is special and unique. They pay me more compliments then I often deserve. I appreciate every word that is shared though… Thank you to Ashley (she married Jon this past weekend, September 22nd, in Brandon) for these awesome words […]
