Laura’s Wedding

I’ve written before about how more and more of my friends are coming to me to have me plan their weddings. I am even starting to charge a fee. Yes, I was doing it for free, but as word got out my time became more difficult to schedule. Most of the weddings have been local, here in the Tampa Bay area. When I helped with Chelsea’s wedding, which was in Maine, I found that not actually being in the area where the wedding was happened was a huge handicap. So, I started taking only local weddings.
Well, my very dear friend Laura got engaged in September. She and her fiancé live here in Florida, but her family is in Laramie, WY. I’ve never even been to Wyoming! I did not want to turn down the chance to help Laura and Ted plan their wedding day, though. So, I started looking for sources in the Cheyenne area. I was finding a good source here and another there, but the search was wearing me out. I called Laura’s mom to get some ideas, but she is so busy in her teaching job that she was pretty much unable to help. Besides, it’s my job ? Finally, I came across the 1Weddingsource website. Holy cow! What a life saver.
1Weddingsource has an entire site devoted to Cheyenne Weddings, which is where Laura wants to have her wedding, even though she is from Laramie. The site lists a lot of national vendors, but they also have local listings for caterers, florists, hairdressers and other wedding service vendors in the area. I found some local limo services, which is one of the vendors I want to go ahead and get reserved – that, and the photographer (of which there are several listed on the Cheyenne Wedding Mall site). There is just so much I can plan from my location here in Florida. Though, on a side note, the site is telling me it is currently 37 degrees in Cheyenne. I’m happy to plan what I can from Florida, since we have weather in the 80s today.
