Wild weekend

OK, so I may have over done it just a little.. I have a low fever :(

But both weddings went off without a hitch and both brides were so happy. I have to talk about today's wedding a little bit. I met this couple and the bride's Aunt (who was gifting them their reception) in late June/early July. In all the weddings I have done I have not cried.. until today. When I spoke with the bride shortly after my diagnosis, she shared with me that she had lost her mother to breast cancer as a child. Then she went on to tell me that her step-mother is a survivor and dyed her hair pink in support! Today I found out that the groom had previously married and had lost his wife to Lukemia, this is when I cried.

Most of their planning was done through August when I was beginning my treatment and dealing with the lack of brain function and adjusting to all the changes in my life. As they live in the DC area, she needed some help with centerpieces and this had to be done via email. I initially thought I was going to be able to do them a bit more than I was able to in the long run. Enter Betsy....my boss, my friend and the most amazing florist around.  She swooped in on very short notice and created exactly what the bride had in mind, without knowing exactly what she wanted...so if you are in Gainesville or not and have plant of floral needs call The Plant Shoppe Florist.. but please don't wait until the last minute. You can even call from out of the area and have things delivered locally and you get much more bang for your buck than using a wire service or internet service!

When it came time to cut the cake, the bride turned to me and said are you going to take the wig off and be comfortable or not? So off came the hair and in this amazing group of families who have been through so much.. nobody batted an eye! Not so much the case the night before.

I am happy with my wig, but it is a bit hot and scratchy!If you want to check out pictures, check out Chef Brothers facebook page!

Off I go, hopefully the Advil will kick in quickly as my Dr. does not want me anywhere near an ER!
