Be Bold

"BAM!" The little girl looked up from her seat on the couch, where her face was buried in a book. Her, favorite book, to be exact. "BAM BAM BAMMMMM!!!"  She rolled her eyes, and sighed, "Joel, what ARE you doing?" Her brother had his toy airplanes and soldiers out again. "I'm just practicing sissy," he replied.
"Practicing for what?"
"For when I'm big like Daddy."
Their father was a Navy Airman, and had recently come home from a deployment due to injury. "You know if Mommy hears you she won't be happy."
He looked at her, wide-eyed, and said "But Daddy is better than all the other daddies. Why can't I be like him?" "You can be, just- uh- I don't know. I just know every time Mommy hears you she cries." The boy, suddenly looking downcast, said "I don't like it when mommy cries." His big sister looked at him and said, "Me neither. But you know what? Ever since she got that new dress she's been happier! Remember?" Joel remembered. He remembered being bored out of his mind and playing his video game until mommy was done talking to the lady and trying on all the clothes. "Yeah, I remember sissy. Why does she have it?"
"She said she's going with Daddy to something called a Mir-a-tary Ball."
"Is like when I watch football with Daddy on TV?"
"No silly, this is where they dance all night like princes and princesses and the ladies all look pretty and the men look handsome and..."
Joel rolled his eyes. He thought his sister had a lot of dumb ideas, always talking about grown-up dresses and stuff. He'd stick with his cars, that was good enough for him.
"...and it'll be spec-tacuwar!" She sighed a dreamy sigh. "Come on let's go see if Daddy is awake Joel!" They took off running down the hallway, all thoughts of tears forgotten. They were going to ask Mommy about the Ball.

Dressed for Success

Spring is certainly in the air today! My car read 58 degrees on my way to the office :-) It's a beautiful time, with the glimpse of spring and the knowing that summer lies just around the corner! With the warm weather, we at Perfect Weddings know there are many events coming up in your lives. With each new occasion comes the need for a new style, a fresh look. I can tell you from personal experience, a brand new look is one of the best feelings in the world. Not just physically, but getting a brand new outlook on life is a spirit lifter! There's something about taking care of yourself that just gives a positive vibe to life. Generally on my days off, I take my sister to do "girly things". She's going through a lot right now, and something as simple as having her nails painted makes her feel like a kid at Christmas time. It's a beautiful thing to love life, and what better way to prepare for the good things ahead than to dress well? I'm a firm believer that you dress for who you are, who you believe you are, and who you will be. Whether this is subconscious or not, it's an inevitable fact of life. Take on the future dressed to your best. We hope you'll entrust us with the task of preparing you! Come in and visit us for all your special occasion needs! Whether you need a gown or the perfect pair of pearl earrings, let us help to make sure your event is absolutely unique :-)
