A story for you.
My client texted me this photo yesterday afternoon on the middle of a wedding day. Her text was simple and immediately catapulted me into happiness, “Miss you!!!!!”
This Photo was taken at my wedding on October 30. It was the first wedding of seven that I had thru yesterday.
Typically I would have that many weddings in 6 months time, not 6 weeks. Half of those weddings were rescheduled into a time on my calendar that was already occupied. I’ve been asked several times, “Do you regret taking all that on?”
It wasn’t an option for me. I ADORE my clients. I have relationships with them and their families. It’s beyond a date on the calendar and I couldn’t turn my back on them.
Receiving this text yesterday on the very last day of the scariest 6 weeks of my 20 year career made every single moment of stress, exhaustion, doubt, crying and struggle turn to absolute joy. I felt proud and happy and all that was difficult this fall left my mind. Broken supply chains, astronomical price adjustments, lack of inventory, the entire wedding industry treading deep waters, carrying the weight and feeling so torn…Poof gone.
Immediately with this one text and photo I was returned to WHY I’m a wedding planner. Why I have invested 20 years of my life into this. Why I’ll continue doing what I love most and what comes with it.
Thank you , Lollie, , , (& .isaacson ), and (& ) for being my why this fall.
Thank you for capturing this moment.
