D o to c . n h e c h t t a d M n n a o s et ail m m I e d h n t i a w n a d t e S ta r t s e t I w ) : e e k o d a p s m e r ve ew e m h i t t o t b s r e i v f ' e e w r th e t f A . n o i t r sa e. e t v a n d o t c s e r i n f o r h p or ou f t e e m o t decided

When Did you know you wanted to spend the rest of your life with your significant other?

I think that after we had actually met in person and went on our first date, both Stan and I knew that this was something so special. Our relationship was so easy going and we really understood each other. It wasn't shortly after that date that we both knew we wanted to be together forever. 6 months after that we moved in together!

Tell us about the proposal The proposal was the best. About 6 months before Stan asked me to marry him, we were at home watching some reality TV show about guys planning out proposals for their girlfriends. One guy had the girls friends and family there after he proposed to celebrate and also as a surprise for his girlfriend. I told Stan that I would like my friends and family to be there when he proposed.

“My response was ‘Of course I will marry you!’”

Fast forward to May of 2011 we were getting ready to leave on vacation with some friends that were coming in from out of town. He told me that before we met up for dinner with our friends we needed to make a stop to pick up something that he had purchased. He wouldn't tell me what it was, just said that I would love it. So he puts a blindfold on me and drives around. He leads me out to the Marina (we lived in Venice Beach at the time), I heard to boats, the birds, and the water. Next thing he stops me and says to take off the blindfold when I did I saw him down on one knee with the exact ring I had chosen when we went ring shopping. My response was, "Of course I will marry you!"

After I answered I heard cheering and clapping behind me. He had gathered our closest friends and family to come and be a part of this experience afternoon cruising around and a nice dinner with more friends for our engagement party. I couldn't b

e! He rented a boat to fit about 20 people to cruise around the marina. We spent the rest of the believe that he had remembered something that I had mentioned months before!

The Wedding Day

Our wedding day was absolutely amazing. It was better than I had imagined. Everything went as scheduled and the weather was great.

The venue itself is so beautiful so to add the little accents we did made it so awesome! The most memorable part of our wedding was when our friend (who worked at the same FD department as Stan a while back) had that departments old fire engine come to our actual ceremony. We were able to take pictures on it and it was a cool accent and acknowledgment of Stan's profession. It was so unexpected and it was a great surprise.

Tell us about your wedding planning experience? (Did you plan yourself, or hire a planner)

My wedding planning experience was great. My friend, Ashley Garing, is trying to become a wedding planner, so she offered her services.

She was the best! She handled everything for me as far as contacting vendors and the venue. If an issue came up she would be on top of it and would ha wedding planner.

Where did you Honeymoon ?

We spent 10 days in Gunacaste, Costa Rica. It is near by the town of Liberia. It was amazing! So beautiful and great weather.

We stayed at the Westin Golf and Spa Resort.

We were inseparable from the start.

When romance meets elegance

Tell us about the proposal Tony proposed to me on Valentine's Day at the same restaurant that we had our first date. We even sat at the same table that we did 5 years earlier. It was very intimate and heartfelt.

Tell us about your wedding day and your most memorable moment?

Every little detail about my wedding was perfect. I received so many compliments on the venue and the professionalism of my vendors. My most memorable moment would have to be walking down the aisle with my proud father, and seeing the look on my fiancĂŠ's face.

Tell us about your wedding planning experience? (Did you plan yourself, or hire a planner) I was a very hands-on bride because I'm a little bit of a control freak. But I couldn't have gotten through the whole wedding planning experience without the help of my wedding coordinator, Melissa Botten Hickok with I Do Darlin'. I was so comforting knowing that I had someone as creative and professional as Melissa to assist me through the whole planning process but even more importantly on the actual wedding day. When you have someone good handling your big day, you can definitely enjoy it more. Trust me, it is over with in a flash. You want to be able to soak up every moment.

What advice would you give to a bride to be about your whole experience (i.e.; planning /wedding day) Hire a wedding planner! In the end, it's worth the little extra money to have a lot more piece of mind on your wedding day. At least hire a day-of planner if you can't afford one from the start. Your day with go by much smoother with someone outside your friends and family handling everything for you.

Also, invest in a good photographer.

For me, I budgeted a little more than usual for a professional, experienced, and very talented photographer. After your wedding day is over, in what seems like 5 minutes, your pictures will be your best keepsake from that day. You don't want to skimp on the photographer or the DJ. My best advice is to just HAVE FUN!

Where did you Honeymoon ?

We decided to push the honeymoon back to the summer time because of our busy schedules and better options for locations that time of year. We plan on going some place tropical and exotic, like St. Lucia or Bora Bora.

Nobody says you have to go on a honeymoon right after your wedding. Plan it right and go when it's best for you and your husband.

Trinity & David March 3,2013 Gardens at heathers farms, walnut creek ca

Tell us about how you met ?

Trinity: "We meet through a mutual friend in college. David had never spoken to me any of the times I had hung out with them so on one such occasion I took on the personal challenge of seeing if I could get him to talk to me. It proved to be easier than I thought and we hit it off that night."

Tell us about the proposal David: "Well Trinity is not a very easy person to surprise so I knew if I set up anything suspicious she'd guess my intentions. I was returning home from out of town in a rush to pick up the ring from the jeweler before 5:00pm. I picked up the ring just in time and went home to meet Trinity. There I gave her a love letter, disguised as a bill, I had written earlier in the day and went out into the living room. The letter told her all the reasons I was lucky to be with her and how much I loved her, plus it had instructions to come out into the living room without our excited dogs following her. When she came out to see what I was up to I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. Through her tears, she said yes."

Tell us about your wedding day and your most memorable moment?

David: The wedding day was great and made any of the stress we had from planning all worth it. My favorite moments were seeing Trinity walk down the isle and our vows.

Tell us about your wedding day and your most memorable moment?

Trinity: The wedding was a blur and went by before I knew it but it was this perfect little moment amidst all the chaos. It is difficult to pick a favorite moment because it was all so great but the personal vows and the "cake-inthe-face" game stand out.

The Ceremony

A walk to remember

Ceremony Details The ceremony was held outdoors on a beautiful sunny day in March at the Gardens at Heather Farm in Walnut Creek, California. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan so all of the processional music was from the Harry Potter soundtracks.

The ceremony was short and sweet. We had our own personal vows prepared and also exchanged roses as our first gift as husband and wife. After being pronounced husband and wife, we walked off to the Imperial Death March.

Please give us details about your reception.

The reception was also held at the Gardens. It was laid back and began with a smores bar and cocktail hour. For food, we served gourmet pizza that turned out to be very chic, welldone, and very affordable.

We also had an area for games, which many of the younger children in attendance enjoyed. The reception also included the "cake -in-the-face" game in which our guests donated money to see either the bride or groom get the first piece of cake in the face. Of course, David found himself on the "losing" end.

The reception also included toasts from close family and friends and the traditional bouquet and garter toss.

on i t p ece

Trinity :"Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll love you through the great times, the ordinary times, and those times you adopt a cat that makes my asthma flare up and my eyes water and itch for a month. Though I may have complained at the time, any struggles we have are a small price to pay for having you, my true soul mate and best friend, by my side."

David : "I promise to attempt to understand what an oligarchy is. On that note I promise not hold too much of a grudge about what you say in your sleep."

What does married life mean to you and what are you looking forw

Trinity: Married life means taking the commitment you've made in your h he was a free agent but deciding you are going to take your talents to South Beach for the rest of your life instead of only 5 years and also for considerably less money.

David: And everyone got a ring out of it. On a more serious note, married life for me means having a beautiful partner in my life that will always support and love me but also having the opportunity to offer that same support and love for her as we grow together and move forward in life.

Both: We are looking forward to growing and working towards some of our immediate goals in the first year of marriage. We are also looking forward to getting a bit more rest now that the wedding planning is over. Lastly, we are excited to welcome our first cat into our home.

What advice would you give to a bride to be about your whole experience ?

Try not to sweat the small stuff. When you are planning it, it seems like all the little things are critical but when you are in the moment it is such a day of love and support that any small thing that goes wrong isn't actually a big deal.

Also, try to enjoy it because the actual wedding day is fleeting and you worked really hard for it.

Cloud Parade is an online marketplace where a hip and trendy couple can shop and design their wedding all in one spot! Its fun to have a "cloud", which is our version of a pin board and shop hundreds of shops in the Cloud Parade marketplace that are curated and easy to navigate.

It has been said that Your Cloud Parade is as if Pinterest and Etsy had a baby in the wedding world. Its fun and addicting for any wedding couple.

How did you get into your profession and how long have you been in business ?

All the owners of Your Cloud Parade have been in the wedding business for over 6 years. Cloud Parade was designed to fill a huge hole in the wedding industry.

We launched Cloud Parade in January 2013, but it has been in production since 2012.

What sets your business apart from others ?

I would like to say that we are the only online marketplace where a wedding couple can shop and design their hip wedding all in one spot :) Most other sites just bring an element of the full shopping or designing process

What are your specialties?

One of the best parts of Cloud Parade is our Filtering system. A wedding couple can pick a color, category, and style prior to shopping the site.

We also make sure that every shop owner that opens a shop on the Cloud Parade Marketplace is curated to fit the Cloud Parade Brand. We make sure a bride doesn't need to "go on an extensive search" to find that rad item...

all the items are awesome!

We love the HIP and TRENDY wedding couple. A boring wedding was so 2008!

Behind the scene

es with the team

What is your philosophy ? ohhhh wow, this seems a little to "serious" for me, lol! My philosoph to make sense for the Cloud Parade brand we have built up. If it doe think this has helped us become who we are today.

Also... Jesus, Husband, children, work, and friends. That's my life or

Where does your inspiration come from ?

We are inspired by "wanting to be different". We want to be the place where a wedding couple can shop and design their wedding all in one spot and not take hours filtering through content or items that just "aren't the right fit".

We are inspired by art, color, great design, and creativity. At heart we are all artist, and if we could get married again (we have all been married for 7 or more years) we would be using Your Cloud Parade to design our perfect weddings.

hy? hmmmm... well I can tell you this. Every decision we make has esn't fit the brand than it WILL NOT be on Cloud Parade. I really

rder....

What is your biggest accomplishment ?

An attempt and constant work towards a happy marriage (I LOVE MY HUSBAND), and raising my 2 children. That is truly my biggest priority!... and I hope I can say its my biggest accomplishment in 50 years from now.

Marriage has not been modeled well for me in the past, so when it came to my own marriage I have decided that my husband Mark is my one and only. I work constantly to make sure that the one I chose almost 7 years ago comes first. Its soooooo hard to find a balance, but honestly with out the stability at home there is no way Your Cloud Parade would be as incredible as it is today!

On a practical business level, CLOUD PARADE! looking back on my life I have done a lot. As the creator of the Your Cloud Parade concept there have been moments where I have had to force myself to SLOW DOWN.... but when I look back I know the best business accomplishment has been this marketplace. And its only this great because of our amazing team and the other Cloud Parade owners, Molly and Mark.

What is your dream project ?

My dream project is to more of an activity... I want to hike a mountain every day for a month straight. Since I live in Southern California that is actually impossible, but that is my "dream". I also picture myself having a house in the woods one day with a hammock out front....

When it comes to "dream projects" for Your Cloud Parade, well they are happening right now! I get to travel to amazing places, I get to see some of the coolest weddings, and I get to work with the best wedding vendors in the industry. That is my job at Your Cloud Parade and Cloud Parade is my dream project!

What should your customers expect to experience while on your site ?

They should expect to go on to the Your Cloud Parade site and begin their shopping experience immediately. The amount of amazingness and cuteness on the site is overwhelming :)

5CostlyMistakestoAvoid WhenPlanningYourWedding Planning a wedding can be stressful, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be! You can successfully plan your dream wedding IF you avoid these 5 common mistakes that many brides make:

1. Not Hiring a Wedding Planner Many brides think that hiring a wedding planner is a luxury reserved only for the rich and famous. Not true. In fact, hiring an experienced and professional wedding planner just may be the best thing you can do for your wedding.

If you've never planned a wedding before, chances are you're unfamiliar with the going rate of many of the products and services you'll need to obtain for your wedding. A planner can help you avoid costly mistakes and shield you from the risk of being taken advantage of. Not to mention, most planners are skilled in the art of negotiation and will go to bat for you to get the best rates on services. Also, wedding planners often have access to deep discounts that are not always available to the general public. If a planner provides continuous business to a vendor, it is not uncommon for the vendor to show their appreciation in the form of discounts, which are usually passed onto the plannerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clients.

Not only will you save money, but you will also save so much time by not having to blindly research vendors while keeping your fingers crossed that you make a good choice. Hiring a wedding planner should be included in your overall wedding budget.

“If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional, just wait until you

hire an amateur”.

2. Neglecting to Set a Budget Everyone has a budget. EVERYONE. Whether it is $10,000 or $1,000,000, there should be a concrete dollar amount that you are not willing to exceed. Setting a realistic wedding budget should be at the top of your priority list, before you begin making any plans.

It's really important that you do your research to find out the average cost of services in your area. Call a few vendors to get a price quote so that you'll have a general idea of what things really cost so that you're not blindsided when it's time to book those services. Call 3-5 vendors in each category so that you'll have an idea of both the low and high end costs and use the average to determine how much you should set aside for each service.

Your wedding budget determines the size and scope of your event. It lets you know what you can and cannot afford. When you’re meeting with vendors, be upfront and honest about how much you can actually spend so that they can recommend services and packages that are within your budget. The last thing you want to happen is for you to be in the middle of planning your dream wedding only to find you’ve run out of money along the way.

3. Not Hiring Professional Vendors “If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional, just wait until you hire an amateur”. Repeat this phrase over and over in your mind when considering your vendors. Your wedding will likely be one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your life. Now is NOT the time to compromise the quality of services by choosing vendors solely based on their cheap prices.

Have you ever heard the saying “you get what you pay for?” Now, I’m not saying that you have to choose the most expensive vendors you come across, but instead, choose the vendor that is offering the most value for what you’re paying. In addition, consider their experience, professionalism, and ability to produce what they say they can (as should be evidenced by their portfolio and references). It is also not a good idea to put your friends and family members in charge of such important tasks as cooking the food, setting up décor, overseeing the event, etc. Although they may be capable of doing a wonderful job, these people are your GUESTS. They should be able to sit back, relax, and bask in the joy of celebrating your nuptials.

4. DIY Overload There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking on a few do-it-yourself projects for your wedding. If you are a crafty bride, or know there is a small project that you can knock out on your own to save money, go for it! The problem comes in when you try to tackle too many DIY projects, get in way over your head by trying to handle things that you may have never done before, or attempt to make something you thought would be simple but turned out to be way too complicated to complete. How mortifying (and costly) would it be, to get to the end of your project only to realize that it looks nothing like the fabulous pictures you saw on Pinterest. On top of that, you now have to dip into your budget to hire someone, or purchase something, to fix your mistake. Paying twice is a major budget killer. When at all possible, leave it to the experts.

5. Trying to Follow Trends/Traditions The #1 rule when it comes to planning your wedding is that there are no rules. By this, I mean, you do not have to follow “tradition” or jump on every trend bandwagon that you hear or see on wedding blogs and in magazines. Your wedding should reflect your personal style as a couple. Trying to mimic what you’re used to seeing is not only monetarily costly, but it will also cost you your happiness and satisfaction. You want to feel proud and satisfied when look back at your wedding photos. Be true to who you are, and have the wedding of YOUR dreams, not someone else’s!
