DHVANI & MAC'S WEDDING






Dhavni & Macs wedding reception was truly a blast :) The event was held at the Galleria in DC. As always I was surrounded by a fantastic team of vendors. We had the oh so fabulous photography of StoryMotions. Once they send over their pics I will post them. This event had awesome food provided by 3 Citron and Raaga Catering. So I must send huge thank you's over to Suzy, Sam and the rest of their incredible staff. You two catering teams came together for the first time and you knocked it out the park !!! The food was delicious, hot and the presentation welcomed both cultures. This opened the door and our guests were able to enjoy American and Indian cuisine :)

We had glamorous decor and florals created by Beyond Imaginations. You have seen their work many times because I truly love to work with them. You see if you find a great vendor you stick to it :)

Our fusion of American and Indian tunes came to us directly from the EQ Events!! We had Jag as our DJ and he kept the music coming all night long. Hit after hit our dance floor was packed!!

Huge thanks to the Clara's Designer Cakes!!! She has the most moist cake, with flavors that explode in your month with each bite. Her raspberry, and nutella buttercreams are so delicious, you can't help but have another taste :)

We also had Quiana's Travel, they shuttled our guests around all weekend and as always they are professional and accommodating.

I must say with the team above, how can I go wrong :) Dhvani, Mac & their families had a fantastic time, compliments were coming from everywhere!! This was truly a perfect union!!

ps Working Brides ran on time again!! This is wedding number 14 in a row, in which we started on time or even early. Now that is impressive. Thanks to my staff and lets keep up the FAB work, lol!!

DC MARRIAGE LICENSE

Just an FYI, that I keep forgetting to post. Thanks Pink Bride Becca over at The Pink
Book Blog, for reminding me about this huge revalation and change in DC.

More than 200 D.C. residents tested for syphilis for no reason
By Michael Neibauer
Examiner Staff Writer 10/6/08

The D.C. Superior Court continued to require that brides and grooms-to-be turn in blood tests before obtaining a marriage license even after the D.C. Council had eliminated the test from the city’s code.
More than 200 people applied for a marriage license with the court’s Marriage Bureau Section in the last month, most obtaining a costly blood test even though the procedure was no longer required by law.

OMG I HEART NKOTB


Ok so I went to the New Kids on the Block Concert and I had an absolute ball :)Aarathi, one of my brides and now a dear friend of mine dragged me along kicking and screaming. NOT!! It was such a blast to see these guys up close and personal. They are in such great shape. They put on a GREAT show, full of dancing, energy and fun!! I was really shocked to see the Verizon Center full to the brim. I mean there were about a million screaming woman and 20 guys in attendance, lol.

Danny can still break dance. Jordan is still charming and HOT. Joey is still super cute and sweet. Donnie, well what can you say about Donnie... he is still extremely flirtatious and engaging. He has the most captivating personality, he was never my favorite, but tonight, WOW. He brought the house down. Then there is the still sweet, shy Jon, he is still adorable and he is an OBAMA fan!!






Ok so at first we weren't as close as we thought we were going to be, but in the end we were closer. The guys came to almost the middle of the floor and that's were the above pics came from. We were so freaking close to the guys that we actually touched them :) ALL OF THEM, lol. It was really cool. They sang one or two songs right in our face, on a revolving stage w/ the piano. We nearly lost our minds. Aarathi actually may have. Donnie was drinking a bottle of water and he handed it down to the crowd... ok no, he handed it to a specific chic and Aarathi grabbed the bottle before the chic could, and drank it, LOL!! wooo that was funny



Aarathi screamed at some point in the night that "this is the best night of my life"!!! Well it may not have been the best for me, but Damn was it close :)

NKOTB, you made a ton of 30 something ladies feel 15 again and we thank you!!!

Stay tuned for video footage!!
