Planning A Wedding & All the Moments In Between
I couldn’t imagine my life not being a wedding planner. Planning a wedding is not just about crossing out the tasks to do on a checklist, attending the day of and then moving onto the next wedding. The moments in between planning “Hollywood” definitely forgot to show on the big screen.
I must admit with every wedding I fall in love with “love”. Couples come to me with dreams of what their perfect wedding day vision is. I could go on and on about what needs to be done up to the day of , but planning a wedding is about falling in love all over again and all the moments in betweeen.
If I were planning weddings for mannequins, I wouldn’t have to worry about breathing these dreams to life. So how does my passion stay alive? Every couple keeps my passion alive. When I plan, I feel like every one of my weddings are my very own. I care about my couples, I dream their dreams, I feel their love, happiness and joy. This passion is fueled by catching their smiles, their kisses and watching two people in love plan the most exquisite day of their life – their wedding day.
This past week, the moments in between planning 2009 and 2010 weddings were marked on a wonderful note. I was tingled with excitement as I listened to voicemail messages – “I’m seven months pregnate”, “Gabrielle, I saw your picture and it brought back sweet memories and I had to call you”, “My father still says, God Bless Gabrielle”, “Gabrielle, I miss You!”
Yes, I do miss all my former Casamentos Brides! Through you, I have been married countless times! And to all my Casamentos Brides-to-Be, I love to dream!

What is True Love?
I ask myself, what is the core meaning of True Love? True Love knows no boundaries. True Love is passionate and sensual. True Love never dies. What is True Love to you?
“A lover only knows humility, he has no choice.”
“He steals into your alley at night, he has no choice. He longs to kiss every lock of your hair, dont fret he has no choice. In his frenzy love for you he longs to break the chains of his imprisonment, he has no choice.”
“A lover asked his beloved, “Do you love yourself more than you love me?” The lover replied, “I’ve died to myself and I live for you. I’ve disappeared from myself and my attributes. I am present only for you. I’ve forgotten all of my learnings. But knowing you I have become a scholar. I have lost all of my strength but from your power I am able. I love myself, I love you, I love you. I love myself.”"
“I am your lover come to my side. I will open the gate to your love. Come settle with me, let us be neighbours in the stars.”
“You have been hiding so long endlessly drifting in the sea of my love. Even so, you have always been connected to me concealed, revealed in the knowing in the unmanifest. I Life itself. You have been a prisoner of a little pond. I am the ocean and its tribulent flood. Come merge with me.”
“Leave this world of ignorance. Be with me. I will open the gate to your love. I desire you more than food or drink. My body, my sense, my mind hunger for your taste. I can sense your presence in my heart. Although you belong to the world, I wait for the silent passion for one gesture, one glance from you.”

And the Winners Are…………………
Sandra and Mario are the grand winners for the Complimentary Full Wedding Planning Service. Their wedding will be taking place on September 19, 2009.
The stars were definitly aligned when the Sandra and Mario first met. They were in high school and since then have never parted.

May a special shining star be named “Precious” for life in memory of “Precious” for all the special moments shared and treasured with her.

This Day is All About You – Ryan and Jenn
Let me introduce you to Ryan and Jenn. On May 23rd, they flew in from Vancouver to have their engagement portraits taken by Mimmo from mimmo + naz at www.mimmoandnaz.com. After attending back-to-back vendor appointments, it was a nice romantic break stepping into the nature’s beautiful scenery at Don Valley Brickworks and watch this couple sizzle with romance. A Kiss here and a Kiss there – a Hug here and a Hug there. Much laughter was shared by all as I also enjoyed taking my own pics of Mimmo in action as well.
History was made after their first date. In their very own words, “We met for drinks on the patio at the Esplanade. Drinks went so well we carried on to dinner at a pub where the hockey game was playing. The Flames were making a run for the Cup and Jenn (who feels some loyalty because her hometown is Calgary) was following the series and tried to explain to Ryan that it wasn’t a true representation of herself because she wasn’t a hockey fan. She was just interested because of Calgary. Ryan hoped she was lying and was secretly a true fan, thus being the perfect girl.”
Ryan and Jenn are truly a wonderful couple to be around and their love is an inspiration for the wedding that lies ahead on October 5, 2008 at the Royal Ambassador in Caledon. This day was definitely all about them.
