A Modern Proposal Event Planning

Wow a brand new blog. I'm probably the only one who reads this one right now but I’m okay with that, I enjoy talking to myself! I am going to start off by letting you know a little bit about me. But please stay tuned for amazing ideas on how to decorate for your wedding. I will create some beautiful tables as well as bring you photos from all over the internet!

About Me

I have started this business, wedding planning, and it is kind of secret right now- as I don't want to tell the whole world until I get my website completed and have my accreditations (March). The website is a sore topic right now. It is semi frustrating because I don't want to pay someone for something I am more than capable of learning or producing. But at the same time I don't want to end up divorced! J/K. So if you found me already, you must be physic.

I have always wanted to be a wedding planner and at the ripe age of 24 I decided enough was enough. With help and a good push in the right direction from Beth I now am creating my own Wedding Planning and Event Planning business. As of March 2009 I will have my certificate in Event Management and be a Certified Wedding Planner. I also have my diploma in Office and Records Administration. I am an Administrative Assistant (in a legal department) to a Vice President who is also a lawyer. I enjoy it tremendously but I’m still missing the event planning perspective.
