Jenny's Wedding Festivities!!!

As you know, I am in the early stages of starting Events by Morgan, an event planning business by yours truly! Weddings are my true passion and have been since I saw Annie Banks McKenzie marry Bryan McKenzie for the first time!!! Well, one of my best friends put all her trust in me and asked me to be her wedding planner! I could not have been more thrilled! Jenny's wedding my first official wedding to plan other than my own. I was also a bridesmaid in the wedding which made for one crazy busy planner day-of!

Her wedding was April 24th and we have been working on all the details since they got engaged in November. These past two months I've spent countless hours with Jenny, driving back and forth to Tulsa for meetings and sending her idea after idea! She was the easiest bride in the world and I would give anything to have a bride like her every time. I know they all won't be that easy but, it was definitely nice for the first one!

During one of my trips to Tulsa, I attended, with some of my best gals, her shower! Andrea was a wonderful host and Jenny was beyond thrilled with everything! It was fun getting to experience all aspects of her wedding process. I know when I plan weddings in the future, I most likely will not attend the bride's showers and other wedding festivities! It was a true delight!

The Bride to be!!

Jenny and I worked so hard making sure every last detail was covered for her wedding! I was so engrossed in the process, you would have thought that it was my wedding! Once the week of the wedding arrived, I told Jenny that if there was a single worry in her mind, she wasn't allowed to stress over it, she just needed to tell me and then forget about it!

The rehearsal ran very smoothly and we got everyone in their correct places and everything planned out for the perfect outdoor ceremony! The rehearsal dinner was on the patio of a Tulsa Country Club under the beautiful Oklahoma sky! The bridal party then headed to a local pub to hangout and relax before the wedding craziness happened!

One of our best friends, Leigh, flew in from North Carolina and met up with us that night. She's the next bride in our group and I can't wait to help her plan her dream come true day. Just wish she would move back to Oklahoma already! We miss her!

We headed back to Andrea and Jenny's condo and stayed up way to late catching up and talking about life after college! We woke up Saturday morning, went for breakfast in Utica Square and then we all headed to different salons across the city to get all gussied up for the wedding! We re-convened back at the wedding/reception location and the craziness began!


                                                

There is nothing more beautiful than a Bride on their wedding day and Jenny didn't disappoint!
Drop-Dead-Gorgeous!!!

The cake!!!



The room looked beautiful and was perfect for their enchanted evening!!!
Isn't this table so cute? I had the caterer set it up for Jenny and Taylor so they could eat together before they were introduced at the reception! I came back there at one point to see if they were ready to be announced and they were practicing their first dance. It was so cute!!!

I absolutely love all these girls!!!

It was such a perfect evening. I called Jeff on my way home, he was at his Dad's surprise 60th birthday party, and told him how if I planned weddings for the rest of my life, I would be the happiest person in the world! I thrive on the stressful last minute details and catching glimpses of the just married love! Makes me want to marry Jeff over and over and over again!!!

Congrats to Jenny and Taylor!!! Love you both!
