So there we were in a pre-shift meeting, neither of us were suppose to be there, but both of us there staring at each other and smiling a lot. We flirted for the entire shift, and went on our first date that night. Jurassic World ;-) We now live together and we couldn't be happier!
Read More"We have a running joke that we are always kind of late to the game on things - showing up to shows after they have closed, missing events that we talked about going to for ages. This story is not dissimilar. In June we had planned a trip upstate as a getaway, but our cats (yes, both of them) caught some sort of stomach bug so we had to cancel. Little did we know, that both of us were planning to propose to one another that weekend. Fast-forward a couple weekends later to the third of July when we rebooked our trip. It was a Friday and we both had off work. A typical day off consists of coffee in bed while we read the news and stuff on our phones. Kat got up to serve the coffee, while Lauren was in bed (unsuspecting) checking Facebook when our cat Napoleon bounded on the bed with something special tied around his neck. Kat totally beat Lauren to the punch! Lauren was prepared with a ring to return as a bottle of bubbly was popped later that morning."
Read MorePaige and Ben are such a cool couple, and it was an honor to be a part of their special day. They are both super quirky and laid back and they went out of their way to have a party that was meaningful for them. The best part of the day was when a mob of superheroes decided to crash their first look — by far, my favorite image of the day!
Read MoreAt a coffee bar off Washington Square Park, the stranger seated next to me noticed my gift bag. “Going to a baby shower?” he asked. “No, I’m a wedding planner, actually. Headed to a rehearsal soon.” “Oh, god. That sounds intense. Does that gig make you never want to get married?” I paused, unable to give him a straight answer. The truth: the answer was far too complicated to get into over an iced tea. I’d need at least a shot (maybe several) of espresso.
Read MoreOne of our most exciting meetings was with Dawn, co-owner of Toasted, a traveling indie bridal show. She and her partner, Tara, started their company in Brooklyn. They've taken the show to Washington, D.C., are currently out West in San Francisco and San Diego, and they'll make their way back to the East Coast for a Boston show and an encore Brooklyn show in the spring.
