Happy Valentine's Day

I love love, which is a good trait when you’re a wedding planner.  I love to watch it when it is new and gawky; the sweaty palms, butterflies and the grins that hardly fit on your face, but I really like to watch it grow.  Taking steps that say, “I’d like to stay in love with you for a really long time (a.k.a. for as long as we both shall live).”  What better place for this lover of love to spend valentine’s day than Paris and what better place in Paris than le Tour Eiffel?  One of my personal favorites and it clearly ranks up there as one of the most romantic places on the planet. Every time we visit this fabulous city a peek at this grande dame is first on the list.  Even as the trip progresses and I walk around a corner and catch an unexpected glimpse of her, I can’t help but gasp.  She is to me a significant landmark in my own love story.

So here I sit, on Valentine’s Day, with a collection of favorites, my fabulous red, crushed velvet coat (tres chic!), a bench in Champ de Mars, jambon-buerre and some bubbles.  Sadly, my favorite of all is nowhere to be found.  This extended time in Paris is a result of a cancelled flight yesterday and is hence, sans-Prince.  We’d all agree that there are worse cities to be “stuck” in so I’m making the most of it.  To that end, I plan to sit on this bench, watching people mesmerized by one of my true happy places until I see some darling boy drop down on one knee in front of a sweet, un-expecting bride to be to say, “I’d like to stay in love with you for a really long time.”  Yes, I have my hankie (from the Paris flea market) at the ready.

Je t'aime mon chéri
