TIMING IS EVERYTHING

Weddings and b’nai mitzvahs involve a wide scope of planning. When and where will the celebration take place? Is there a theme? Who will be invited? And once the preliminary decisions are made, it is time to think about what the actual day will look like – hour by hour, minute by minute.
When you find yourself at that stage of planning, it helps to understand how some area venues and vendors coordinate managing the timeline for your celebration.

By Amanda Koehn
Brides today are often opting for an after-party look that’s slightly more comfortable for dancing and partying the night away at their reception. To create a cool and glamorous after-party look, select a second (or even third) dress that might be shorter in length or more casual in style. Make it fun and fancy with satin or sequins, interesting embellishments, a ballerina-like skirt, and maybe even a pop of color or sheer detailing. To pull the look togeth ..read more

How did you meet?
We matched on a dating app, Hinge.
We shared a pizza on our first date and I (Janie) got pizza sauce on my face. Jason kindly let me know, and I said something along the lines of “I’m glad you told me, because we wouldn’t go out again if you didn’t!”
Do you have any interesting stories to share about getting to know one another?
I knew I liked Jason from the start and didn’t want to “jinx” it, so I didn’t tell family members much about him early on (even his name). Long story short, my grandmothers commented on a Facebook picture (no ..read more

How did you meet?
We met at a mutual friend’s wedding at Beechmont Country Club. As we danced the night away, we stepped out to the patio to get some air and ended up talking for 45 minutes. It was a beautiful fall night and we had an amazing conversation. Looking back on it now, I (Rachel) think both of us knew we had found something special.
Do you have any interesting stories to share about getting to know one another?
We both lived in New York City, just a block away from each other in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Coincidentally, we worked a few blocks awa ..read more

Hardis’ book, “Just Do Nothing: A Paradoxical Guide to Getting Out of Your Way” came from interactions between her personal and professional life. It was released Aug. 24.
