Hola Mis Novia y Mis Novios!
I owe you guys some reviews on weddings over the past few months, so I’m starting with a beautiful ceremony that took place on Wednesday evening, March 10th. During a beautiful sunset, Erin Downs and Russ Johnson were married on Playa Sun Bay, surrounded by only those who love them the most. Russ waited at the end of the aisle with his groomsmen, while Erin was escorted down a rose petal strewn aisle of coconuts by her mother. It was a non-traditional wedding by many accounts, but the most unusual aspect was a wonderful surprise.

Hi Everybody!
I know, I’ve been terrible about blogging again — but I swear I have an excuse!!! I have been busy as all hell running back and forth between DC and Vieques and taking care of my husband. Bill is getting much better and I am finally getting some decent rest, so life is returning to normal slowly but surely. It’s time for me to really focus on blogging again as I get back into wedding planning (thank you to all of my clients who were so patient while I juggled too many things this winter), it’s nice to be back to normal!!! And today I’m going to took our own horn a little bit and share a very special website with you. Little Black Book featured one of our weddings!!! http://www.stylemepretty.com/2010/03/18/caribbean-wedding-in-viequez-from-hurwitz-photography/

Well, hello there everybody!
It’s been almost two months since I’ve blogged and I owe everybody an explanation. At least I have an excellent excuse. My husband Bill was sick and he had to leave the island for awhile for medical treatment. He spent six thrilling weeks in the hospital, and I spent five of them with him, sleeping in a chair beside his bed. Just for the record — this is exactly what they mean in your vows when they have you promise “for better or worse, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad.” In the past two months, I’ve experienced better and worse too many times to count, sickness and bad times. This has been a heck of a lesson about appreciating the ones you love, and telling them how much you love them all of the time. And it’s been a lesson in patience and diligence and a whole lot of other things. But at the end of the day, the good news is that Bill is getting better! Modern medicine is winning and the doctors at Georgetown University Hospital are brilliant. He’s out of the hospital and on the mend, and I have abandoned his butt to return to Vieques for a wedding next week. I’ll be bouncing back and forth between DC and Vieques for the time being while Bill fully recuperates, but we did that the first year we were in business anyway, so this will be cake! And I’ll be racking up the frequent flyer miles 
and keeping my killer tan well fed. Anyway, I will try to start blogging on a regular basis again now that Bill is better and I’m not trying to be a part-time nurse, full-time wedding planner. I’m going to start today with a brief blog on an important topic that most of you wouldn’t consider something you’d hear about from your wedding planner. Of course, not everybody is lucky enough to have me (or Weddings in Vieques) as their wedding planner! Let’s talk about healthcare management for the future bride and groom. You’re probably living together already, you may have purchased some things (big and small) together, you’re starting to co-mingle your finances, but have you been to the doctor with each other yet???
