Well, we are back in Brooklyn and into our first married month. Excellent thus far!
We were both elated at how beautiful our day was. It was what we wanted in every particular—except better. Your work was exquisite, from the strawberry-garnished cups and luscious lemonade to the perfectly cooked carrots and multiple Simca cakes. (And maybe anyone can cook steak, but how many can make carrots delicious?) It all turned out even more wonderfully than we had imagined. To a person, our family and friends raved about the food and the beautiful presentation. They’re still talking about it! Max’s grandmother kept repeating, “It’s like they made this fish just for me!” And Max’s dad, who can be a bit of a hard-to-please vegetarian, was totally wowed. He also commented that he really appreciated how present and on-top-of-it you were, Lori, without being, “overexposed”—meaning not your clothing, but your graceful presence. You are true wedding genies.
Thank you especially, Lori, for taking so much time with us to craft all the details, and for being patient and creative when I changed my mind or tweaked an idea… or sent a recipe! You are gifted and inspiring. And it was totally fun rather than stress-inducing to brainstorm with you. I don’t quite know how you did it, but you captured exactly the mood we were after. Please feel free to share my email or phone with any perspective clients who want a rave recommendation.
And we are already daydreaming… what about an anniversary event in a few years? And please keep us in your loop; we’d love to hear all your Belle Fête news. We hope you have a busy and brilliant season, and take time to toast yourselves when you can.
We toast to you: You are The Best!
XXO, M.
