This Is The Real Deal!!

So...I'm blog stalking today and I run across this post on Junebug Weddings Blog. I absolutely love this post.....this couple is awesome and everything about them just exudes love. This is just one picture I pulled but go look at the whole post for yourself and tell me that it's not the cutest story AND cutest couple ever :-)

I Have A Confession!! :-)

Well...as you can tell I'm back from my 2 week vacation. I've been back for a couple of weeks now and have been catching up and getting back in the groove because our busiest time of the year is upon us and we will be busy, busy bees for the next few months!!

So, yeah, my confession....alot of my clients already know but there are some of you that don't. My little 2 week "vacation" was actually because I GOT MARRIED!!! That's right, the Wedding Planner finally tied the knot herself. So the 2 weeks was for the Wedding and the Honeymoon.

I haven't seen all of the wedding pics yet but who else would I have do my wedding photography...it had to be my good friend and AWESOME photographer, Andrea Murphy! Of course I have so many of my vendors to tell you about and I will in the days to come as I get more pics to show you! Here's just a few teasers from Andrea's blog.

Obviously these are just the Preparations pictures. I'll post more as I get them so I can tell you all about the whole day!!!

Taking A Little Vacay!!

Sorry that I've been such a bad blogger. But, be prepared because it's going to get worse for the next couple of weeks :-)

I will be on vacation May 2nd-May 17th. I'll be back in the office on Monday, May 18th. In the meantime, we still welcome emails and phone calls. Our other consultant, Crystal, will be checking emails regularly while I'm gone and will accommodate anyone who might need immediate assistance. All other emails will be answered as fast as I can get to them when I return.

If you need to contact us via phone, please call Crystal at 918-408-4006.

Thanks so much and I'll talk to you all when I return.

Wonderland of Snow = Wonderful Wedding!!

This past weekend we were part of Haley & Josh's incredible wedding celebration. The snow came down hard and thick for a good part of the day but by the time the wedding started there was just a beautiful white blanket of snow on the ground. The ceremony was at First Baptist Church in downtown Tulsa and the reception was at the Doubletree Downtown. Their attendance wasn't affected at all by the weather....they still had a crowd of over 400 people and the reception rocked into the wee hours of the morning :-) Andrea Murphy, as always, did an incredible job on the photography. This is the only picture I've seen so far from the wedding but you can see the style this wedding had. I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.

Special thanks to Haley, Josh and their families for allowing Erica Weddings to be a part of your special day. We had soooooooo much fun!!

OMG.....This Weather!!!!

The weather in Tulsa this weekend is going to be absolutely ridiculous....snow?...in April?...are you freakin' kidding me?

Anywho, I felt the need to post about adapting to weather because weddings don't stop....and, YES, we do have a big wedding this weekend that we are SUPER-EXCITED about! :-)

Weather is completely out of our control! So...we must adapt. It won't make your wedding any less beautiful to have snow on the ground or thunder roaring in the distance. I know how disappointing it can be to be looking at the weather forecast for your wedding day and be seeing/hearing nothing but bad things. Ultimately though, we must adapt and embrace whatever mother nature throws our way.

Don't get consumed by your frustration and disappointment about the weather....just know that whatever it looks like outside, the end result of the day will remain the same....YOU'LL BE MARRIED TO THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE and that's ALL THAT MATTERS!!!

Congratulations to Haley and Josh who will have an awesome wedding celebration this weekend!!! Mother nature can bring whatever she wants our way....nothing's gonna stop this wedding :-)

Best Wedding Toast...

I found this video on YouTube and just had to share it. This is truly the most touching and unique toast I've ever seen at a wedding. I really did cry when I watched it. You can truly feel the love for this couple and the surprise on the bride's face throughout the entire thing is just priceless!! Watch the whole thing....it will totally make your day!

Another Lesson from Father of the Bride!!

This is probably one of the funniest scenes in the movie...I can't get enough of it!!

I love how George gets so completely overwhelmed by everything that he just snaps - "Swans?...We're having swans!?". And, as usual, Frank is absolutely hysterical - "It's very nice....we change it all though!"

Enjoy this funny clip!
