"Thanks for putting our
wedding together and
saving us from the
melting rain. You've made
the greatest difference in
the most important day in
our lives
(next to being born
:-)...Thanks for
everything~)
Laura & Ann"
These two wonderful women came to us from Chicago, Illinois. According to their
planner, who nominated them to be a Featured Couple, it is hard to think of a more
deserving couple this time around.
Both Ann and Laura are in professions that assist others in need and with their personal
development. They are in constant service to other people and seldom, if ever, have a
chance to be pampered and looked-after themselves. In fact their planner had to
constantly reinforce to them that our principal directive is client comfort and ease. We
think they eventually warmed to the concept as you can see in the photo above.

The original plan was for the (20+) wedding guests to rendezvous at a local restaurant and then be transported, en-masse, to the beach locale selected for the ceremony.
Due to concerns about the weather, their planner made arrangements to use the property's cabaret as a rain location. The generous management worked with us to make that possible (Thanks "Fizz"). As it turned out, the location was perfect.

One of the most wonderful
things about these clients was
the attendance and support of
so many friends and family who
came from Chicago and
elsewhere to commemorate Ann
and Laura's special day! Kudos!
How wonderful to have that
support and participation. It
seems that all the attendees had
a wonderful time. We are so
happy for them all.
The ceremony was performed by Key
West
Mayor Jimmy Weekley at the beautiful La
Terazza de Marti, in the crystal room.
Ann and Laura opted for tropical leis in
lieu of more traditional flowers. The
brides' hand-strung Leis were
composed of light and dark Dendrobium
orchids. All the parents' leis were of the
light orchids.
Their planner assisted in the
composition of the ceremony and Ann
and Laura shared their own personal
vows with each other.

Laura takes a moment to smile
at the camera and her guests.
We're thinking she looks very
happy!
Don't these folks seem the
kindest people? And they look
great too!
Laura's mom and Frank. We
LOVE their energy. Our vote is
unanimous--- to keep them
around all the time!
Alas, kidnapping is illegal.
Following the ceremony, the
entire party moved to a
restaurant for dinner.
As is a service offering to all our
clients, their planner made
recommendations and
reservations for the group in
addition to managing all the
other components of the event.
The owner made certain to be on hand to assure that
the cake handling went perfectly for Ann and Laura.
We'll call Denise "the Cake Constable"!
The cake was a surprise from their friend, Rita! She
called the planner from Chicago the week of the
event with the desire to give this gift to the ladies. He
designed a tropical, two-tier cake with a pale
lavender buttercream icing, topped with Casablanca
lilies and Dendrobiums matching the orchids used
also in the leis.
Our baker and florist were called in and worked
together to do the cake for us in time for the big day,
per Rita's request.
Is it just us or do Ann and Laura
seem to be having a great,
stress-free evening?
There is no higher joy for us than to
make certain that all our amazing
clients, such as Ann and Laura, not
have anything to do but simply
show up and savor their day. This
is company protocol.
Thank you both for allowing us
pamper you and help, in some small
way, to make your dream a reality.
You made it easy to serve you!
One would think that seeing so many happy endings would make us bored and
disconnected.
We are in this profession because happy endings are the icing on our cake.
You two wonderful, devoted and caring people absolutely deserve the very best
we could offer!
Congratulations to you Ann and Laura!
Because of your singular personalities, deep love for each other, great sacrifices
to make the world a better place and the adamant and non-stop praise of your
planner---
It is our pleasure to welcome you as a featured couple and, more importantly, to
the savvyplanners.com family!!!
