Yesterday, nothing went the way it was supposed to.
And somehow, everything went right.
Cocktail hour moved inside. Photos that were supposed to happen at the altar happened on the porch. The Maid of Honor was holding an umbrella instead of the bride’s bouquet. And at one point, I was wearing matcha on my head in full Nickelodeon slime style.
But this wedding was about so much more than one day.
While we were planning their wedding, they were also building their home. Through all the months of choosing vendors, making plans, changing details and counting down to the wedding, I also got to watch their house become a home. Then the rentals started arriving, everything we had talked about for months started becoming real, and suddenly we were here.
And I genuinely could not have asked for a better couple to work with. They trusted me, rolled with every change, and never lost sight of what the day was actually about.
Yesterday was the perfect reminder that event planning isn’t about making sure nothing goes wrong. It’s about adapting when it does, keeping things moving, and making sure your couple gets to enjoy their day.
The porch became the photo spot. The umbrella became part of the story. Everyone celebrated.
And at the end of the night, they were dancing with the people they love at the home they built while we were planning the day that would begin their marriage.
They built a house. We planned a wedding. And somewhere along the way, it all became home.
Nothing went according to plan.
Everything went exactly right.
And yes, the matcha eventually came out of my hair.
