Take a look see:
- Hair Stylist. I'm getting my hair done by the stylist who has been cutting my hair since I first started getting haircuts almost 20 years ago. And before that he was cutting my parent's hair! We've known him forever and I can't imagine anyone in the world who'll make more of an effort to make sure my hair looks amazing on the big day :).
- Our officiant(s). I've mentioned before that all three of the priests who will be celebrating at our marriage ceremony are close personal family friends. Fr. J married my parents, Fr. B was my dad's best friend in college, and my dad teaches C.C.D. at Fr. B2's parish. Not to mention that Fr. J (the primary celebrant) is the best homilist I've ever seen. I can't wait hear our wedding homily.
- Make-up. This is less of a friendor and more of my mother-in-law being extremely generous. She is extremely gifted with make-up (it is her job after all!) and has graciously agreed to do wedding-day make-up for me and my girls :).
And even the vendors who aren't our friends yet are well on the way! My mom loved the bridal consultant from when I bought my dress, she couldn't wait to go back so they could chat about her thoughts on a mother-of-the-bride dress. Mishka and I chatted for an hour with our photographer about how his wife and daughter and how they share names with two of my sisters.
I guess a lot of that comes from the fact that my parents are really friendly people and have definitely raised me to be the same. It has definitely made the whole wedding planning experience much more enjoyable.
