I had a good chuckle this morning when I received an email from AWFPI (Association for Wedding Professionals International).
* "TWAS THE BRIDE"
'Twas the night before New Years
And all through the house,
The girlfriend was angry
She wasn't a spouse!
She hoped for the joy
That Christmas would bring.
But Christmas had passed,
And she still had no ring!
They'd been together
For over two years.
Long-term commitment-
That must be his fear.
She thought, "That's the reason
That I'm still single.
I'm breaking it off!
Then the phone gave a jingle.
"Come outside," said the voice,
And then went away.
She opened the door,
And there was a sleigh!
He wisked her away,
Grinned like a fox
Got down on one knee
And opened the box.
T'was the first day of New Year
Her eyes opened wide.
"Yesterday, I'm a girlfriend.
Today, I'm a bride!"
She started to panic
"There's so much to do!
To plan a whole wedding.
What do I do?
How do I afford
Everything that I need
To end up with the wedding
Of which I have dreamed?"
Then she remembered
That magazine page,
A F W P I dot com
Before she was engaged.
Her eyes, how they twinkled!
Her smile seemed to glow!"
I can plan everything
At the Bridal Expo !"
Reception hall! Caterer!
Florist and tux!
Save money, save time,
And no acid reflux!
Video! DJ! Photo!
Limousine & Gown!
I won't have to be running
All over the town!"
So she called her attendants
To the shows they all flew.
Ate catering samples
And wedding cake, too!
And I heard her exclaim
Holding prizes she won,
"I found all that I need
Now my planning is done!"
Richard Markel adapted a poem sent to him by Will Haggerty of Bridal Fashion Debut in Arizona for the original. Thank you both for the laugh!
Here's Alexandra explaining the fine art of making snow angels!
Or should I say Naomi, Dave & Jasper?! They braved our little snow storm this weekend to come to the studio for their holiday session this weekend! Jasper was a wonderful pup - although I think he was a little disappointed with the small studio and not enough things to go through!
