The Weather is the Groom’s Job
Nice work.
Mother’s Day Wedding Story!
So, today is Mother’s Day. Today’s bride, Lisa, tells me that a couple of years ago she worried about what her sons thought of Scott. They were all in the kitchen and she said, “I don’t think I’m going to call him anymore.” She turned around and both boys had stopped what they were doing. […]
Guest Blogger? How about Guest Poet…
Shh.. I have a secret
That I just have to tell
I met a fairy godmother
Into the rabbit hole I fell.
Quarterversary – the 3 Month Anniversary Gift List
I love my brides. You all know that I do. Grooms are pretty ok, too. And they’re always saying, once the wedding ceremony’s done and they’re heading back home, “We’re definitely coming back for our anniversary!” I’ve taken to responding, “You don’t have to wait a year. You can come back on your 3-month anniversary.” […]
The Engagement Ring – a note to my brides

A Hosta, by any other name…

Margins and leaf shapes and textures, etc. […]

Beam me up Scotty with a Star Trek pin.

Marriage Ceremonies for our Vets
Bridesmaid goes to Prom
It’s a pretty special day for this wedding fairygodmother. Four years ago, we married a charming couple. The bride was attended by her young teenaged daughter, who was behaving like a young teenaged daughter. As a distraction, we offered to do a photo shoot of her alone. Turned out that we all had a lot […]
The Spanish Fairy Godmother!
I just received a text message from a lady I’ve been conversing with in Spanish. (Thank heaven for Google Translations!) There was a phrase that concerned me, because I didn’t recognize it, so off I went to translate ‘hada madrina’. You can imagine how delighted I was to find out it means fairy godmother! Oh, […]
