Are you in complete FREAKOUT MODE over the corona virus & your upcoming wedding celebration?  Breathe deep, my friend - you're not alone, and you have my support, along with countless other wedding industry professionals. Read the full article, "Planning Your Wedding During Corona Virus" that we discuss in this episode by clicking here. The spread of the corona virus & worldwide measures to contain it has escalated so quickly in the past week that your head is probably spinning.  Between stockpiling groceries & supplies and making remote arrangements at work, engaged couples like you are also hit devastatingly hard with wedding day decisions to make about events scheduled in March, April, and likely into May. You’re likely feeling confused, scared, and stressed out with what to do next, and that is completely normal.   Today we’re joined by Meg Keene, editor of A Practical Wedding, which also happens to be the largest independently held wedding publication in the English language(!!!).  If you haven’t already, I would highly recommend putting A Practical Wedding on your short list of trusted wedding resources.  I’m going to share our conversation from Tuesday, March 17th in just a moment, but want to add a few quick notes before we dive in: First, this is a really frightening and uncertain time, and if you’re completely freaking out - please know that that’s totally normal, and you have my support in addition to the wonderful industry experts that I’ll be sharing with you in the coming weeks & months.   Second, if your wedding is scheduled for March, April, or May, you will need to make some decisions about postponing or altering your celebration - please refer to the full article we discussed here to help you navigate through this difficult and stressful time. Third, if your wedding is scheduled for later this summer or fall, please do not panic.  My personal recommendation is to sit tight until the end of March before making any big dramatic decisions about a wedding date in June or beyond. And lastly, things are happening really quickly with respect to containment measures - please rely on trusted news sources for your information, including your state & municipal officials for details specific to your location.  Learn more about Meg's newest project, Hotline Ring here.

I’m mad. You’re mad.” “How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice. “You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”  (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 6)    “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat. “I don’t much care where–” said Alice. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat. “–so long as I get SOMEWHERE,” Alice added as an explanation. “Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.”  (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 6)    ‘I could tell you my adventures–beginning from this morning,’ said Alice a little timidly: ‘but it’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.’  (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 10)    “Who are YOU?” said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, “I–I hardly know, sir, just at present– at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.”  (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 5)    Alice laughed. “There’s no use trying,” she said: “one can’t believe impossible things.” “I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”  (Through the Looking Glass, Chapter 5)    The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this; but all he said was, “Why is a raven like a writing-desk?” “Come, we shall have some fun now!” thought Alice. “I’m glad they’ve begun asking riddles. — I believe I can guess that,” she added aloud. “Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?” said the March Hare. “Exactly so,” said Alice. “Then you should say what you mean,” the March Hare went on. “I do,” Alice hastily replied; “at least–at least I mean what I say–that’s the same thing, you know.” “Not the same thing a bit!” said the Hatter. “You might just as well say that ‘I see what I eat’ is the same thing as ‘I eat what I see’!” “You might just as well say,” added the March Hare, “that ‘I like what I get’ is the same thing as ‘I get what I like’!” “You might just as well say,” added the Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in his sleep, “that ‘I breathe when I sleep’ is the same thing as ‘I sleep when I breathe’!”  (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 7)    “Tut, tut, child!” said the Duchess. “Everything’s got a moral, if only you can find it.”  (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 9)  Link to more: http://fromringtoveil.com/AIW   We have another themed show planned "Sport Themed weddings".  Look for that next month!  ***Listener Question***  Hello!
