A Special Event Every Day! Welcome Home A Hero at DFW Airport

There are few events that I think could mean more than a big WELCOME HOME for our men and women of the United States military. DFW airport and many other locations across the U.S. give us all an opportunity to show support for and love on those who have sacrificed so much for us. Take the time to get involved. Military arrivals at DFW consists of 150-250 service men and women EACH DAY! Schedules are available so you know exactly when to arrive and won't be standing around waiting. With parking and greeting you can expect to spend approximately an hour, but will likely want to stay much longer. Call 972.574.0392 for volunteer schedules.

What a week! It was full of excitement, love, laughter and many friends and family. Sharon and Jason were awesome and enjoyed the days up to the wedding although the weather wasn't in our favor. All of our prayers were answered with the safe arrival of guests and weather that allowed the wedding AND reception to take place on the beach! The ceremony was lovely with bride and groom clearly and loudly shouting "I Do". The sound of crashing waves couldn't cover up their love for each other :) The mariachi band ushered in the bridal party by playing Cannon in D, followed by the traditional bridal march. Sharon was escorted by both her mother and father. After the ceremony, guests were presented with glasses of champagne for a toast on the beach prior to many, many family pictures.

The reception was set atop a sandy ridge covered in palm trees overlooking the beautiful water and beach. All were treated to an elegant dinner including salad, lobster bisque, fillet mignon and lobster tails. Sheila, the maid of honor and Paul, the best man, gave lovely toasts to Sharon and Jason. There was also one other special toast. Mike, one of the groomsmen proposed to M.J., one of the bridesmaids! She was totally shocked. It was quite a moment.

Congratulations Sharon and Jason! It was an honor working with you to create a week that was Absolutely You.

Love and Blessings,
Rachel

Congratulations Mark and Ryan!

Working with Mark and Ryan was great. We were able to make their vision come true. One of the best things were the fun surprises Dad had in store! We had a 20 minute fireworks display and presented Ryan with a photo album. Her father, Scott had taken photos from through out her life and we put it together in a beautiful album which he surprised her with at the toast. It was definitely a fun night of great music, dancing and surprises!

Congratulations Erin and Pierre!

Erin and Pierre were a blast to work with. Patti, mother of the bride, and Erin knew what they wanted and added many special little details. The ring bearer's pillow was made by Patti and included buttons from Erin's great grandmother's button box and they had a grog ceremony at the reception. (It's a military thing :) The most talked about piece of the wedding coordination was Erin and Greg's (father of the bride) entrance. As the bridal party entered from separate entrances and met at the top of the aisle, it was fun to watch all guests looking to see where Erin was going to appear from. Then the moment appeared as they walked over the hill directly toward the guests. It was magical and looked like they were being ushered by a breeze over a hilltop you would find in areas such as the likes of Ireland, but instead found in sunny Casa Grande, AZ. (check back for professional pictures of this moment in a few weeks)

The reception took place at the home of the bride's parents. It boasted of soft, billowy curtains dancing in the evening breeze with a glow from paper lanterns swaying in the trees plus the shimmer of floating candles dancing off the water in the pool.

They were blessed with approximately 120 guests from California to New York and all were treated to the beautiful voice of Sarah, Erin's dear friend, who is an opera singer in New York. It was a beautiful day filled with much love for a beautiful couple. Congratulations Erin and Pierre!
