Congratulations Rebecca and Ali!
Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at 5:15PM I can't put into words how much I adored working with Rebecca and Ali. Four years ago (in 2008) I met Rebecca and Ali in my (then) office in West Los Angeles. We had a great meeting and totally clicked. Our personalities completely aligned and we just had the best time! Then, for a reason unbeknownst to me at the time, I didn't hear from them again. I was definitely disappointed and I'd always wondered what happened. Well, flash forward to March of 2012. I came home from the airport after an overnight flight from London (where I spoke at the UK Wedding Planners Annual Conference) and I had a miserable cold. The phone rang and a familiar voice was on the other end. It was Rebecca, my long lost bride. She explained that since we saw each other 4 years ago they found and bought a house and then decorated/furnished it. So they'd put the wedding planning on the back burner. But she called to let me know that they were back in wedding planning mode and that I was their first call. I was, of course, ecstatic and I asked if we could meet a few days later to give me some time to get over my cold. We met, clicked all over again, and spent the rest of the year planning their unforgettable wedding.
Rebecca and Ali are kind of the perfect couple. They are best friends, perfect partners, and the most relaxed people you'll ever meet. They also just happen to be HILARIOUS. They complement each other like two peas in a pod with their quirky sarcasm and witty banter. I love sarcasm and enjoyed every opportunity they threw at me to keep a joke running. Every planning meeting we had together was an absolutely blast - both because they're so fun and because I LOVE their taste!
I was equally impressed with the beautiful vases, linens, and mercury glass candles that Rebecca chose as I was with the gorgeous cake serving pieces, toasting flutes, and custom tux.edo that Ali chose. Their taste is classy, elegant, formal, and timeless and I just loved watching it come to life on their wedding day.
I am so honored to have been selected as Rebecca and Ali's Coordinator and truly touched that they came back to me four years later. That means so much and the experience of working with them is one I will never forget. Thank you both so very much and my most sincere congratulations on your marriage! I can't wait see you two at the Restoration Hardware outlet soon ;)
Now, I'm pleased to present the photos from this gorgeous and very heartfelt wedding, captured by the always-amazing Sammy and Natalia from Closer to Love Photography.
