Heartfelt Gratitude

I'm still on a high from Julie and Jay's wedding two weekends ago. There was so much love at that wedding that it was truly contagious. All of us that were working at the wedding felt like a part of the family, and I was reminded of why I love my job so much. Julie has a natural grace to her, and she was so beautiful and calm that day...which ofcourse put all of her families and friends at the same pace. The weather was absolutely perfect and at a setting like Fogarty, you feel like you're in heaven. We had a fabulous harvest theme for this wedding, with pumpkins, gourds and squashes lined at the end of the ceremony chairs. The large pumpkins were carved and flowers spilled out of them, trailing to the lush rose petals down the center aisle. It's too special to describe in words, so I will have to wait for the photos from the awesome Gene Higa!

Yesterday, I received in the mail a letter from Julie's mom:

Dear Jubilee,

Thank you for all that you did to make Julie and Jay’s wedding a most memorable and wonderful occasion.

From the very beginning, Julie placed her confidence in you, and it was a choice well made. You graciously and efficiently guided her through the entire wedding planning process. Your vendor references were outstanding, and you and your staff are simply the very best. Everything—setting, flowers, food, music, photographer, videography, and, ofcourse, coordination, was absolutely perfect. It made me so happy to see Julie totally at peace and glowing on this most important day in her life. It would not have been so were it not your meticulous attention to each and every detail. When our youngest daughter gets married, I think we will have to insist that she get married in California so that you can be her coordinator (smile)

Please convey our deepest appreciation and heartfelt thanks to all your staff, Fogarty’s staff, and to all of the vendors. In just a few brief hours, James and I came to regard each of you as friends and people whom we care deeply about. We wish all of you the very best in your business and personal endeavors.

With much appreciation,

Nancy Lipscomb
