Diaries of an Event Planner-The Duck

This year we cut down on the number of weddings we would accept to plan because this year I am getting married too! Although this was a good idea in that I would be able to spend time focusing on my wedding without taking away from our clients, it has proven to be stressing me out BIG time!

You see, when it comes to planning the weddings of my clients, I am cool, calm, collected and offer an assurance to the bride that everything is going to be okay. Any good wedding planner knows you have to be like a duck on water; calm on the surface, but paddling like hell under water. Your client is NEVER to see you stress. The client is never to know when things are falling apart and things have to get put back together without you, the stellar planner, batting an eyelash. This is especially important the day of the wedding. That is Event Planning 101!
What I have come to realize in planning our own wedding, is that I don't have a DUCK!

The planner in me knows that NOTHING goes according to plan and the bride in me in FREAKING OUT!!!
