This April Fool’s Day was the best one yet, as R+C tied the knot at their beautiful and rustic spring wedding 🧡

Our couple shared their vows under an arbor handcrafted by the groom himself! 🪵🪚

Each guest was gifted with a personalized wooden coaster to remember the day, and the groom even crafted a dress hanger for his lovely bride.

All these touches give a new meaning to “made with love” 😊

I love being a part of this industry and getting to know each of my couples.💗

5:00 AM mornings checking on room sets. Logging 16,000 steps a day at the convention center. Managing logistics for 800 in-person and virtual sessions/events. Three General Sessions featuring José Andrés and other keynoters. Sipping on margaritas and unwinding with colleagues during late-night dinners. Oh how I missed being onsite during the past couple of years! 🥲

Seeing our 6,800+ attendees excited to be together again in Boston was hugely rewarding 🙌🏼 We were unsure what to expect coming out of the pandemic, but meetings are backkk! Our team will be traveling to Chicago in a few weeks for our first site visit for this year's upcoming convention and it all begins again ✈️ 😁
