Dear lovely, warm, and wonderful Janie,
To say we couldn’t have done it without you is not hyperbole but a literal fact. I still have no idea how you transformed the space into the drop-dead magical, tasteful, lovely place that you did… a true holiday miracle.
We all adore you. You stay so upbeat, fun, and kind even after days of work, and yet you maintain your lightness and effervescence throughout. Seeing you at the end of the night still singing and dancing was delightful.
Janie, I hope you have the happiest of holidays. I know we will — a huge part of that is because of how you helped ring in the season with the perfect wedding for Laura.
‘Thank you’ feels far too small for what you did for us… so how about we love you? =)
— Sara (Mother of the Bride)
