Desi is ONE!

I just love Miss Desiree and she turned ONE yesterday, January 11th. I can't believe this little lady is already a year old - this past year has really flown by. Before I know it, her and Dylan are going to be walking to school together.

For Desi's first birthday, I tried my hand at cake-baking. Her mama, Melissa (our neighbor and a good friend of mine) said she really liked the colors pink and brown and that they loved reading her Eric Carle's The Very Lonely Firefly. So, I decided to take those ideas and make her a special birthday present.

To say the least - it was quite an experience! Especially when our electricity went out for 2 hours mid-process. I got it done though and it turned out "OK." Everyone at the party had a piece and the majority said it tasted good (and my Matt really liked it!). Des even got her own mini cake to tear up, but she was very polite and mess-free.

Happy Birthday Desiree!!!

P.S. There was an "A" in Birthday until Melissa tasted it... haha! I really can spell.

See Our Ad in Get Married

We have a new ad in the Spring 2010 issue of Get Married! We have copies of the magazine to give to our existing/potential clients. I really love the magazine's appeal to brides of all budgets - it's filled with new and fun ideas and they have a lot of cute things for sale in the online store. If anything it's a great tool for brides (and wedding coordinators) to look through, get inspired and have new ideas to play with. Let me know if you want a copy - it's my new favorite piece of reading!

It's Official

After months of educating myself on the formal wedding coordinating industry, I have finally completed enough points to earn the Association of Bridal Consultants designation of Consultant Member. YAAAHHH!

Emilee and John

The Wedding of Emilee Schell and John McLarnanJanuary 2, 2010 - Newark, Ohio

What a more beautiful way to start 2010 than to be a part of this amazing wedding celebration. Emilee and John have been friends of mine for years and it was an honor to be their wedding coordinator and to share their "big day" memories. I had such a fun time planning this wedding with Em and enjoyed every moment of seeing their dreams and ideas come to life. Beautiful doesn't begin to describe Emilee on her wedding day - what a picture perfect bride! Emilee and John had such a happy day and Janelle Marie Events was sure glad to be a part of it.
