Uber sweet Harmony of the Bridal Blog tagged me, so here I go!

1.) I got my first tattoo at 18. It took 5 and a half hours. It’s on my back 🙂 It is a replica of Shadow (shown below in black) from the video game “Eternal Champions”. I used to play that game a lot when I moved to L.A. as a kid, and loved Shadow’s character. She was a mouthy assassin for the Black Orchid Corp., and specialized in Ninjitsu. She could kill people with her words. Sound familiar?

2.) Even though I am a wedding planner, and have planned the hugest of fetes to the smallest, most intimate of nuptials, I myself, have never had a wedding…and I’ve been married for eight years.

3.) In my first pageant, I made it to the semi-finals with the help of three words. They asked for three words to describe myself. All the others said, “Strong, Fun, Exciting” or “Intelligent, beautiful, Caring”. Me? “Visa, Mastercard and Discover”. Viva la Commerce!

4.) I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE old movies. The movie that started it all for me was Gone With the Wind. I saw it as a young girl, and have loved it ever since. I even own an original edition of the book. But anything in black and white, I will watch. I heart Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davis, Rita Hayworth and the rest of the classic beauties.

5.) My husband and I met in July, he proposed in September, and we married in October. Still going strong after eight years 😉

6.) I was once a 44JJ….and a size 6/8. I had to get my bras and bikinis from England. I have since been nipped and tucked (surgery took 8 hrs) and my life has been uberfabulous ever since.

7.) Before becoming a wedding planner, I was studying law. Yes, imagine the joy of my parents.
