CONGRATULATIONS!!!

You are in absolute shock. He asked and you of course you said: " Yes"!  You are staring at the most beautiful ring you've ever placed your eyes upon and you're saying "This cant be real!" I am engaged to the man of my dreams, my best friend, my LOVE.

You take a moment to think to yourself, "I never thought this day would come, I am getting married!"  following that, you thank and acknowledge those who witnessed the most amazing day of your life.

Then you take another moment and say to yourself, as happy as can be, and ask... "I have to start planning, but where do I begin?"

You locate and interview three Wedding Planners. Now you're stuck with the question, who will be the one to organize the most important milestone of my life?  Remember, you have to establish a great connection with your planner, because he/she will be your "BFF" through the entire preparation process of your special day.

Your wedding planning should be eight months to a year long. If your wedding date is a sure date, then it is a shorter process. Once you have settled everything and you're ready to go, It is time to start the most memorable journey of your life.

I always advice my brides, before selecting a Wedding Planner to always remember the three "R's". Make sure that your Wedding Planner is...

1. Responsible.

2. Reputable.

3. Reliable.

To the Groom, A mother's LOVE

Share this Moment with your MOM

My Son

Today I share the experience of  being the Mother of The Groom, assisting her Son the Groom get ready to enter a new Chapter in his already amazing Life.

I remember snapping his "Onesy", baby undies.  I remember dressing him up for kindergarten.  I remember getting him ready for Prom, and making sure he looked great on his Graduation day. He then left to become a United State Airmen and once again I felt the proudest mom ever. 

Then the biggest day of his life arrives, his Wedding Day and I get to do it one last time.  The feeling of being alive, the feeling of JOY and Happiness overwhelmed me. I could not be more proud of the man he has become and I know for sure he will be an amazing husband.

Grooms, as a Wedding Planner and mom, make sure you have that moment with your mom, a private moment of just conversation without interruptions, a moment of prayer or Mom helping you with getting ready. Those moments are priceless and full of extreme joy for a mom, it is a feeling that only a mother who loves unconditional, cheers loudly and supports indefinitely could have.

Thank you my son Fabian

 I love you to INFINITY AND BEYOND!!

When A Father see's his Daughter for the 1st time.....

Brides, please ask your amazing photographers to capture this moment.  I know that there are amazing photographers that do, but in the rush and running around of the day, sometimes this moment is never truly caught, capturing the raw emotion of a fathers true feelings.

When a father see's his daughter for the first time on her wedding day Priceless! 

That moment when he is taken back to when he was holding her for the first time in his arms as a new born and whispering to her, " I will always love you, protect you and keep you close to my heart.  I know the day will come when I will have to give you up to the man you will eventually fall in love with and make you his wife.  I just hope he will make you as happy and as loved as  I did.

These where words spoken by this beautiful brides father.

A Beautiful Love Story

The Ocasio's Wedding
November 28th, 2015

When I received the call from this couple, I was more than elated to be planning and coordinating their amazing wedding.

If you don't believe in fate and destiny believe it.

The groom, Ivan knew his bride Iris, since they where  young teens,  he was  his brides true love and she was his girlfriend as teenagers.  They both grew up,  moved to different states, married and had children, but as fate or destiny  would have it.  They reconnected through our amazing social media outlet Facebook.  Twenty plus years later they saw each other and knew that it was the perfect time to be together forever.

While planning this amazing wedding, the Bride Iris mentioned she wasn't to much into the lace, ruffles and bling.  She was very simple and really didn't want too much to go into the design.  The Groom was right there with her.

Less is more and that is exactly what they got. Her expression when she had her reveal was priceless.

Thank you for honoring us at Annie Muniz & Associates, Event & Wedding Planners with the pleasure of being your Wedding and Event Planners. Congratulations to you both.

Thank you to all who collaborated with me
