Challenge accepted. Empowered women empower women.

As I’ve gotten older I have gotten very selective about who I let in. Gone are the days of trying to be popular, have the most friends, and being all things to all people.

Now I surround myself with women that support me, lift me up, cry with me, laugh with me, and just let me be me. And it is so empowering.

I chose this photo in honor of a beautiful friend who died by suicide six years ago this month. It was taken at her wedding as I let everything go and danced like no one was watching. I stand here with and for you, Natalie.

🎶 Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together 🎶

I pinned my last boutonniere on February 29th. I thought it would be less than two months before I pinned my next one. But now I don't know when that will be. Soon after that very special wedding on Leap Day, the world began to change.

*

One by one, my weddings moved to 2021. Guiding my clients through the tough decisions about postponing was the most challenging thing I've had to face professionally over the past 11 years. And I've encountered a fire, broken freight elevators and air conditioning, guests going into cardiac arrest, and even an MIA officiant before. But this has been far more difficult.

*

More difficult on so many levels - seeing the dreams of brides and grooms disappear, talking to their loved ones who feel absolutely helpless, and seeing my industry decimated and on a trajectory to possibly never being able to fully recover.

*

While our clients are missing their one event (and we are devastated for them, truly), we are missing dozens (or hundreds, depending on the size of the business). That means most, if not all, of our expected 2020 income has stopped. It means moving events to prime 2021 dates which then minimizes the amount of events we can take next year, equalling another hit.

*

Our livelihoods are at stake - financially and emotionally. So, to those of you out there making decisions about your event, please keep us in your thoughts, too. We are doing everything we possibly can to make you happy (which brings us more joy than you can even imagine) and keep ourselves afloat. Be kind. Pay in advance if you can. Send a card. We love you and we cannot wait to celebrate with you all again. #wishiwasthere

EDITED to add that I personally have only experienced full support and understanding from my clients. I am the luckiest. Sadly, this cannot be said for many of my industry friends and colleagues.

Happy Anniversary, Jessica & Rashaan! Photograph
