This wedding was at the Longbow Golf Course on March 23, 2012, which is especially fitting since Charlie Belgan is a professional golfer on the PGA tour.  Merisa was at a wedding we did in November 2011 and was so impressed that she hired us.  Merisa has the best smile and she looked good in every single picture she took.  Charlie and Merisa make such a cute couple and I could tell just by looking at them that this was a marriage made in heaven.  …

• How long will you be stuck in your shoes? This should include time getting ready, possibly helping set up and clean up for the wedding, and not just the allotted time for the ceremony and reception.
• Do you have time to break the shoes…

“Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.” Dr. Seuss

This week’s blog is all about doing things a little differently, with a little help from Dr. Seuss.
