🐈 Scroll for cats! 🐈‍⬛
It was last month, actually, but doing the social media thing is not a strength, so this will do.

are the reason I’m able to care for my intern, Penny, as well as the work experience kid, Podie. They have supported me unquestioningly with my elderly intern’s many health issues; they’ve helped me to keep the work experience kid from the dangerous life of a stray kitten, looked after her when she’s needed emergency care, supported her recovery and all her kitten medical stuff including desexing, worming, medicine, everything.

They do amazing work saving and rehoming animals, and you should all go donate to them too if you can… and/or adopt one of their lil pals if you have the capacity to give them a safe and loving forever home!

I AM NOT A ‘COOL’ PERSON.
I have absolutely zero chill.
As Medina & Jose can attest, I’ll pretty much be bursting out of my skin with excitement when I get to marry you.

My emotions have always simultaneously run deep and sat right on the surface, and I’ve got my heart on both sleeves.

This has… not always been well-received.

I’ve spent a lot of my life trying to squash these parts of myself.
Plagued by debilitating self-consciousness, second-guessing myself, absorbing criticism and turning it inward, I have often felt I’ve had to hide my (naturally very big) feelings.

But here’s the thing:
I don’t squash it any more.
My big feelings and my truckload of empathy make me AMAZING at my job… and bloody excited to marry the people who -get- it.

Don’t be “cool.”
Be passionate.
Feel your feelings.
Enjoy the things you enjoy, unironically and unapologetically.

To quote my best friend, Dr. Taylor Alison Swift: “I don’t think you should ever have to apologise for your excitement.”

Tell me what makes YOU excited - because THAT’S what I wanna bring to your love party.

✨💖✨

Morning after snuggles with another happy couple… who have decided they are keeping me.

New record for longest I’ve hung around at a wedding (two nights total.)

Met so many people who are My People at this love party, and I’m ever so grateful to Wedding Planner + Stylist | Elizabeth] for fratchmaking* us.

Remember the infamous dog that ripped bride ’s dress before even the group photos were taken? And I had my sewing kit handy, so I mended the dress there and then?
Well, THIS is that menace. I JUST discovered that she has her own instagram account.

Go follow .like.a.sunday.morning - but please send no hate her way, only belly rubs and positive reinforcement.

(Yes, I AM doing a bunch of posts tonight so I can hit 222 to sit nicely alongside my 1234 followers. Whatever gets the social media motivation going, I just gotta roll with it.)

“Why are you always so nice to me?”
“You’re an idiot,” he said. “I’m in love with you.”

I -literally- fell off my chair when Warren & Rach told me this moment of their story. These two are so gloriously besotted with one another that I could quite happily listen to them talk about each other and their lives all day long!

Married at the beautiful Montsalvat, and giving the most earnest and heartfelt answers that any of my I Do questions have ever received.

Nobody was hurt, but a kid did miss his violin lesson, which I’m sad about but maybe he was glad about? Idk. Today might’ve been the day he unlocked virtuoso status, and we’ll never know.

QUICK UPDATE

I am okay, but I was involved in a vehicular collision today

As far as I can tell, I’m physically uninjured, but I am still in shock, so we’ll see how the next day or two go.

I need to take it slow this week and just prioritise being okay. I will still absolutely deliver on your amazing ceremonies, my gorgeous couples, but I may need to step back from emails and things while I give myself some space to recover and figure out what’s next now that I don’t have my beautiful little car.

If there’s anything urgent, please text me. 💜

🥹 When something so delightful is written about your work, by someone in the wedding industry who you admire a whole lot, you share that s**t everywhere you can.

I’d heard good things about Emma Leeson] before we worked together on this love party, and the experience itself was even better.

Emma went above and beyond to make Hannah & Beau’s Celestial/Batman vision come to life, and when I emailed her pre-wedding to tell her all the weird and wonderful stuff I’d been planning, she jumped right on board with my shenanigans too!

She even reached out to for a little extra magic in the form of surprising the couple with a gorgeous moon backdrop for the ceremony.

I love working with people who are as excited about a wedding as I am, and I love when people in this biz really show what is all about.

Thanks, Emma Leeson] - It was a damn good time working with you, and I’m keen as custard to work together again!

"This ceremony took fun to a whole new level! There were more Simpsons references than your heart could handle, a hidden surprise under every chair, and a scavenger hunt that had everyone out of their seats before Hannah and Beau had even said I do. 🌙"

*I like mustard, but I like custard better.

Just got home from a late night dinner meeting with my favourite couple, after they surprised me with a super sweet and thoughtful custom gift ordered from my favourite candy heart queen & wreath-makin’ machine, …who is the person who brought us together in the first place!

B&C know I’ve been having a rough trot lately, and would have been totally fine with me showing up for our meeting in my slippers.

This is the absolute dream: a couple who encourage me to “be as extra as you want with the ceremony,” who I click with so well that I can be completely authentic if I’m feeling loopy, or honest if I’m feeling s**thouse, and with whom I never have to paint on a business face.
Somehow, in spite of this, they wholeheartedly trust me to do an amazing job for them anyway.
What I’m saying is, with them I can be both miserable and magical. Oh, yeah.

I’m so excited for these toit nups… we’re going to have SO. MUCH. FUN.
