We have a theme, possibly a date, but not a proposal?!

As many of you know, I am an event designer. Well, M is my toughest client EVER!! I have pitched idea after idea of cost-saving, fun weddings and each time I have been met with NO. NAH, UGH, YOU WANT TO WHAT?! I feel like we're playing Mortal Kombat and I'm like GET OVER HERE all Scorpion style on his butt!

While finally I got it!! I am the winner!!


We will have a very elegant weekDAY morning soiree. It will probably be at a historic venue in town (a savings of around $1000-1500)...

We will have sophisticated brunch cocktails like the indulgent bellini, the yummy mimosa, the elegant champagne punch, the spicy bloody mary, and the masculine screwdriver... Very sexy, very swanky, very budget friendly... We will also have the traditional juices, coffee, and lattes...
