A friend of mine called today with some wedding questions. Her daughter is getting married next month. After a 45 minute conversation about cakes, champagne, DJ play lists, slide shows, and a schedule, I signed on to take a couple of tasks. I have coordinated two weddings since my own wedding four years ago. I am J.Lo from The Wedding Planner for the day. And I have to admit I love it. I don’t think I could stop the words from coming out of my mouth, “Sure, I can be there at 4:00 to start setting up for a reception that will take place in two hours from the beginning of set up time.”

I also volunteered to do the slide show, only on the condition that I get electronic copies of the photos. Scanning is the hardest part. I will also be making the map and directions sheet and possibly the program. They don’t need me to actually print them, but design them. I can’t wait to play with new fonts.

Honestly, I am excited about helping another wedding. It’s stressful and so much fun at the same time.
