Usually after the first of the year the majority of couples who have not planned a year ahead, enter into the wedding market. And yes, there are those couples who wait until a month or so before the wedding to get their choices in line. Of course the longer one waits, the less likely one is to get their first choices of officiants, flowers, venues etc. So I urge you, if you are one of the more casual couples, to being thinking and acting now if you have a wedding between June and September of 2012. I already have inquiries for ceremonies in 2013! Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any help to you in talking about your big day.
I will be teaching a class on The Book of Esther, will be speaking at an interfaith group of clergy in the Valley and will also be speaking at the Hospital Association of Southern California. I am honored to be involved in so many communities.
