My new job Wedding planner

So as you may have heard one of our friends Craig got married. Yep he took the plung. He married a very nice woman from the Philippines, and they have a baby, which by the way is VERY CUTE, and a really good baby, never cried the entire time, I actually "thought" about maybe having another one, thank goodness David kept a level head, he kept reminding me of no sleep and dirty diapers LOL.

Well it started out that I got an e-mail on Dec 14th saying hey Jen can you plan me a wedding? Sharon(his soon to be wife) would like your two girls and a friend of mine's 3 girls in the wedding, and we have 3 flower girls, and five grooms men. By the way they all need dresses, the guys need tuxedos, I need flowers for everyone, a cake, food, music, pictures etc you know the works, and we need this done by December 28th, but I do have the preacher and the church so just need everything else. At first I laughed and said very funny, soon to find out he was SERIOUS!

So you know me can't refuse a good challenge, so I said oh sure, why not! Mind you this was complicated by the fact that I needed to coordinate this all with 3 other women that I had NEVER met and could only communicate with him and them via e-mail. Craig was still in the Philippines and the other two ladies where here, but had no phone numbers for them. We got off to a slow start but in the end they had a cake, flowers, dresses, tuxedos, and pretty much everything they could desire. We ran into a few hiccups, like that the bride brought her dress with her from the Philippines, but had never tried it on as it is FORBIDDEN to try on the dress before you get married, it is very bad luck. So she is very tiny, hmmm lets see she is the size of a 10 year old, the dress was huge, but a few well placed safety pins later and we had the dress on her and it stayed up, thank goodness LOL. I was running around playing project manager and photographer so that was insane LOL. Ashley did her hair, the brides hair and the little girls hair for the wedding. We had to pin the vail and hair piece into place, praying it would stay on there. Krista took care of the baby until we were ready to go over to the church. I told her don't get too used it, cause I don't want grandkids anytime soon and I am NOT having anymore LOL. She agreed not to have one, but wasn't so keen on the idea of us not having anymore LOL.

Everyone looked great and it came off with no problems. I am not sure I will play wedding coordinator with such short notice again LOL, I am ready for ALOT of liquor and a nice long vacation LOL. I am happy I could help them and make their day special. Here is a picture of the bridal party, minus 1 groomsmen and 3 very cranky tired flower girls.
