## Happy New Year!

January 31, 2013

HAPPY NEW YEAR and cheers to my very first blog posting! What a great feeling to be basking in the glow of Tiffany Goldy and Eric McKean’s wedding last month at the Westin St. Francis. It was a beautiful wedding in the hotel’s former chapel, the Borgia Room, followed by a reception in Victor’s Palace with a view of the holiday lights, the skating rink and Macy’s wreathes from the 32nd floor! The first dance was a tango complete with red roses in Tiffany’s hair, and a father-daughter dance to ZZ Top’s Cheap Sunglasses… you have to love it!

2013 begins with a lifetime dream for me… I am launching my own business, Make It Happen!, after thirty years of event planning and wedding coordination for numerous hotels and restaurants. How many times have I heard the question “Why don’t you start your own business?” There is no time like the present, and I am very, very excited.

On this big day, I acknowledge ALL of the brides and grooms whose weddings I have planned especially over the last four years in San Francisco. Their input has been invaluable, and their friendship held so dear. I love hearing how married life is treating them and all about their growing families! They are responsible for the passion that I have for creating weddings. Without them, this new venture would have never been possible.

Happy New Year! May 2013 bring good health, prosperity and LOVE to you all.
