Stay! Brent! Stay!

I just wanted to send a shout out to my friends, Erin and Brent Barry and let them know this die hard Spurs fans wants him and his family to stay here in San Antonio.

When I heard on the news last week that Brent had been traded, I was standing in my kitchen and about fell over. I was sorely disappointed and upset with Spurs management, but I understand business is business. I just hope it is not too late and this great family will stay. I can't imagine my beloved # 17 could play with Shaquille O'Neal and Steve Nash - oh! the HORROR!

Anyway, the Barry's are a great family for our city. They committ a lot of time to community issues, especially those involved with children. I also have to give them big kudos for helping out last Fall with the Rape Crisis Center's Partners for Change event. Brent Barry's Blue Ribbon assist made a very nice donation and also secured a nice donation from HEB.

So Spurs fans, let it be heard. Stay! Brent! Stay!

Top secret underwater wedding at Sea World today

My great friend Keith Thompson presided over an underwater wedding today at Sea World. Apparently, this isn't normally allowed, so no one, but immediate family and the closest of friends were invited. The gates opened at 4:30 pm and the marriage ceremony began promptly at 5:00 pm.


I thought this might be a market I can tap into if Sea World wasn't so against it. I wanted to run over and get a picture, but didn't find out in time. Congratulations!


Here is what an underwater wedding might look like....maybe in the near future, I can get a photo of the wedding and update this post.

hot gossip: I hear Bret Michaels of Poison fame (I am showing my age here) is coming to town for a new club opening. Keep your eyes peeled to the blog for a press release coming soon.

Great idea for wedding guest book

A great photographer, Chris Moseley, has a cool new guest book on his blog. I don't know why I haven't thought of this. This is a great way to use all those engagement photos hardly anyone gets to see.

Chris often finds himself in San Antonio for weddings and parties. Check out these beautiful photos of a birthday bash at the Pearl Stables. Chris does a wonderful job...call him today for your event.

Invitations

"The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved,

loved for ourselves, or rather loved in spite of ourselves."

-Victor Hugo

I just completed a custom order of wedding invitations for a lovely couple of California (when I say California, i hear myself saying like governator ahhhnold).

Anyway, one thing I love about these is they added a quote which will be used throughout their wedding. Congratulations, Pamela and Richard...I will be shipping these out tomorrow.

Do you have enough flowers for your wedding? I think not....

I have been meaning to post some pics since early November. I know, we have been slackers. This is from a wedding from October 27th. I have never imagined St. Peter Prince of the Apostles would look like this. Makes me want to get married all over again. Side note: The bride wore a pair of gold weaved smokin hot Christian Louboutins under her dress...aaah, a girl with some style. I have talked about such things before, here.

Floral: David Kurio

BTW: I personally think David Kurio is the best florist on the planet...and I have been blessed to have worked with Christian Tortu of France and the fabulous Preston Bailey.

David Kurio...the.best.
