Mazel tov!

Did you ever meet a couple that knows how to work together without yelling or berating each other? I have!They are my most recent clients, J and J.

At a Jewish wedding it is the obligation of the people who attend to make the bride and groom feel joyful. This is my attempt at making that joy happen for these two people. Apparently, J and J read TheKnot.com from cover to cover to plan their simcha. For those of you who are unfamiliar with The Knot, it is a magazine that is the bible of wedding planning. There was one wish that J has for his wedding day. He wants their wedding to be featured in The Knot.

I have looked at your magazine so many times, I think we're on a first name basis. Knot, if you see this, make this wedding day a little more special by granting this groom his wish. He will be eternally grateful and share his dog eared copies with his groomsmen.  Mazel Tov!

It takes a village to start a business...a computer literate one!

I am in my 50's with three children all over the age of 20, two in-law children and two grandchildren. You might think "ok. what does this have to do with chuppahs?" For those in my generation, have you noticed that our children have a computer chip in their bodies that was definitely not passed on through our DNA? By the way, it is now a permanent part of the DNA, since it passes to grandchildren, too. Here's a conversation I had with my 5 year old grandson. "Savta,  do you have the song 'Dynamite' on your phone?" "I don't know. How would I know?" " Savta, you take your phone and press this button, then slide this and then look up..." " Kid, I lost you at 'take your phone'".

This brings me to thanking my husband,  my children, in-law children, friends, web designer Holly Knott and anyone else out there who helped me limp along the process of using a computer to start this business. I couldn't have done it without you.
