weekend in pasadena.

this weekend i flew down to pasadena, rented a car (don't do this if you are under 25 = expensive!!), and helped jenn yerkey become jenn kliewer. so stinkin' fun. at the wedding, i got to spend a little bit of time with marie bourns, so good to see her. the gum we are chewing came from the center pieces; jenn loves candy so jars full of all the good stuff made up the center of the table- i love it. one of the best parts of the wedding: when jenn and jeff (in their vows) promised to love the others' family as their own. another good part: going to downtown pasadena and taking photos in the middle of the intersection and at their favorite ice cream shop.

some of you know that i "do" weddings for friends or friends of friends. this is what i learned from working with these vendors who will remain nameless:
-do not ever be an old cranky woman who thinks she knows what she's doing as the church wedding coordinator. you don't know what you are doing helen, just cue the damn organist.
-never wear anything but black and more black if you are the coordinator, photographer, videographer, etc... i don't care what the wedding colors are, only black! everything else is just tacky.
