We love you 🙂 xo.  I’m going to add a little bit of fun to today’s post, maybe even a tad bit of a competition.  Let’s see how it goes.  But before then, let me fill you in a bit on a few happenings with The Twirl Team!  We have a new addition to the team. Yaaay!  Everyone say a virtual hello to Phyllis 🙂  Let’s have a write a post for Twirly Tuesday and see her personality come out!! Yes? lol.  Secondly, amazing regulars on our blog already “know” Nanadwoa (aka Twumwaa) my PA.  She did a fantastic job at the Miss Malaika 2013 pageant and grabbed the 1st runner up spot! Congratulatioins again darl! And me, I’m just learning a few new things to help our past, present and future Purple Twirl clients, vendors and acquaintances have an even more superb experience with Purple Twirl 🙂  So on to today’s post!

Here’s what we’re going to do.  Yes,  we, that means you’re involved in this post.   I’m going to type out a few scenarios and happenings at various weddings and events we have planned in the past BUT I will include a few fictitious comments and YOU have to decide which is true and which is false!  Let’s get competitive!  The first person who gets the right answer gets a FREE hour and a half wedding consultation over lunch!(or Skype)  Exciting!

Let’s do this!

1. The groom went MIA and was out of reach up until an hour and a half before the ceremony was meant to start.  Reason: he needed his handsome sleep to be able to go through the day.
2. We set up two reception areas for clients, decor and all, because the bride wanted to make sure that IF it started to rain during the planned outdoor reception, the celebration would still go on inside…it didn’t rain.
3. Wore black to a wedding
4. Had to babysit clients little boy while they went for marriage counseling
5. Me versus toilet, armed with a plunger.  Had to prevent it from overflowing into the room where bride and bridesmaids were getting dressed into their long flowy gowns
6. Case of the missing cake.  Bride presented her hubby with a fab grooms cake.  Cake went missing after the reception and culprits blamed it on the ants.
7. Replaced the florist by making the bridal bouquets and centerpieces
8. We’re magicians.  Wind blew over a centerpiece with colored water and stained everything on the table.  Guests had started trickling in for the reception.  The table disappeared and reappeared, clean and reset, without anyone noticing
9. Two hours into the reception, no one noticed the DJ wasn’t available, because the band we had hired was so darn good
10. A 4 year old child (who wasn’t even that tall!) managed to dig his hands into the wedding cake before anyone could reach him!  They’re like ninjas!
11. Baker was late, very late, in delivering the wedding cake, luckily though, before it was meant to be cut.  It didn’t end there…it was sponge cake and the cake arrived almost tipping over, icing falling off!  Carried the very heavy cake to the hotel kitchen but there wasn’t a freezer big enough to contain it.  Convinced the hotel manager to keep it in a room under air conditioning at the lowest temperature while the pastry chef “fixed” the cake.  Whew!  Bride & Groom didn’t notice anything wrong with the cake.
12. Superstitious bride believed that placing brooms in a tree would keep it from raining.  So we did just that.
13. Photographers assistant hadn’t arrived 2 hours into the wedding, so one of us had to play his assistant during the couples exclusive photography session
14. The couple’s DOG walked down the aisle as part of their bridal team.  Yes, the dog’s name was in the program as well.  What can you say, people love their dogs.
15. Had to wear the hat of a seamstress and sew a part of the bride’s dress that had come undone.  Emergency kit to the rescue!

Get to guessing! xo
