Congratulations to the Special Events team who produced the iconic, epic and out of the box Opening Ceremonies of the 2024 Olympics in Paris. I loved that this talented teams of designers, logistics, Video techs, performers and volunteers took a completely different approach to doing the opening ceremonies. The blending of art, music, pyrotechnics, water, features, etc. etc. blew my mind. I cannot even imagine the hundreds and hundreds of hours this took to plan and produce. This was spectacle for all the senses. Kudos.

This just warms my heart!

"Me and my husband didn't have any kids in the family to be the flower girl, so we asked our grandmothers.

As you can tell, they were DELIGHTED.

When we got home, my grandma said to me, 'Best day of my life.'

And I said, 'Me too.'" 😍😭



Isn’t that just heart melting ❤️❤️❤️
A good news story because, well, we need to hear them!
With love
Fiona ❤️

Happy National Hot Dog Day! My favorite Wedding Hot Dog memory. For me, personalizing the wedding details to the couples style is what I love to do. Jamie and Jon wanted to have their favorite neighborhood hotdogs as their late night snack. We had Ravenswood’s own Chubby Wieners bring their food truck to Lincoln Park. The big trick was figuring out how to get the truck parked right in front of the Chicago History Museum at a specific time. But in usual Frank style I came up with a plan and figured it out.
