Wednesday

Dede & Stephen!


I've always said that wedding planning is an intimate experience. As the planner, we're involved in every aspect of the couple's life. You deal with their finances, family struggles and their relationship...just to name a few things. Planning Dede & Stephen's wedding was a new level of intimacy.

We had our planning meetings during Dede's chemo treatments for Stage II breast cancer. She wanted to take her mind off of things and what better way than to do it while picking out invitations and going over every detail of the big day?  I'll never forget a conversation that we had at her final chemo treatment. Stephen was talking about the future and settling down after the wedding and leaving the cancer behind. I've spent a lot of time with them and every once in a while, Stephen gets this twinkle in his eyes. There is a bell that people ring at the end of their final chemo treatment. When Dede walked over to ring that bell, the twinkle was there. It was magical.
