EVERY STUDENT HAS A STORY...

At KCD, our college counselors get to know every student’s story: where they’ve been and where they hope to go.

Through individualized guidance and support, our counselors help students find the college that’s right for them.

EDDY, YALE UNIVERSITY

Eddy is a member of many of KCD’s academic teams, including Science Olympiad, Quick Recall, Governor’s Cup, and Math Team. He plans to major in Biomedical Engineering at Yale.

“I like the breadth of academic exploration that’s possible at KCD. That a school our size can have something like the Honors Program—a college-level sequence of courses—is really impressive.”

“KCD has a positive school culture and great support from the faculty. The culture is more collaborative than competitive. I know that the teachers really know and care about me.”

GRACE, STANFORD UNIVERSITY

Grace is president of the KCD Honor Council and also serves on the Student Council. She’s also the co-chair of Louisville Girls Leadership and a team leader on the Louisville Youth Philanthropy Council. She plans to study Public Policy at Stanford.

“KCD gives you a lot of opportunities to get involved in different things and to discover what you love. The upper school environment has lots of room for initiative to start a club or organization.

Having the support of my classmates and teachers has helped me grow a lot.”

AISHA, UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY

Aisha has played on the soccer and basketball teams and served as a senior class officer and yearbook editor.

She’s also a leader in the KUNA and KYA programs. She plans to study science next year as a member of the Honors College at UK. “I tried to do as many things as I could at KCD, and I found myself through discovering what I loved doing.”

“What I’ll miss most about KCD is the sense of community. It really is like a family where everyone knows and cares about each other.”

HEATH, GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY

Heath is a regular performer in KCD drama productions and is also a member of the soccer team and the Student Council. He plans to study Public Health at GWU. “There are a lot of things to get involved in at KCD, but teachers and coaches work with you to make sure you’re not taking on too much and that you’re able to balance everything you do.”

“The amount and variety of classes offered at KCD lets you discover your interests. There are lots of college-level classes.”

I’ve never been one to gush, but the exquisite estates we’ve chosen as this year’s Prestigious Properties are among the most stunning in our region. In this issue, we offer a glimpse at a selection of opulent homes that feature impeccable design, sublime amenities and distinctive details that tell a story about the past and allude to the future...the future owners, that is. Each residence is – at least as of press time – on the market and available for purchase.

This edition of The Voice also serves as our Wedding Issue, so we’ve dedicated plenty of pages to matrimony. Our 14-page fashion editorial was styled by Liz Bingham and photographed by Andrea Hutchinson at the Pendennis Club, which has hosted hundreds of weddings over the decades. The historic venue was the perfect backdrop for our bride’s (staged) big day. In an effort to provide inspiration for anyone who is planning to walk down the aisle, Managing Editor Mariah Kline penned a witty breakdown of this year’s top gown trends. And newlyweds Emily Nicklies and Mary Jane McInnis, who married in late 2018 at the Brown Hotel, allowed us to share their super-sweet story of how they fell in love.

In this issue, Let Me Tell You columnist Janice Carter Levitch takes us on another adventure, photographer John Harralson shares some of his favorite photographs from the past month and the Speed Art Museum’s Miranda Lash opens the door to Ebony G. Patterson’s exhibition, which is a must-enjoy.

As always, thank you for picking up The Voice and don’t forget to check out voice-tribune.com for even more photos and fresh content.

iolet floral wallpaper. Tapestries and sculptures smothered in silk flowers, vines and butterflies. Vibrant, sparkling colors and textures that tell a story that is dark, rich and glorious.

That’s the theme behind the Speed Art Museum’s upcoming Ebony G. Patterson exhibition, “…while the dew is still on the roses…” – which opens in June.

“It will be a dazzling site-specific installation,” enthused Speed Art Museum Curator of Contemporary Art Miranda Lash. Replete with twilight-colored cloth wallpaper, vegetal growths sprouting from the walls and silk leaves, flowers and vines falling from the ceiling and framing paintings, the exhibition augments 13 of Patterson’s large-scale works that include videos, drawings and tapestries, six of which were created for the show.

tell a deeper story of danger, disenfranchisement and racial inequities.

“She showcases vibrant colors, ornate surfaces and mysterious figures embedded within her lush landscapes,” explained Lash. “Using beauty as a tool, she seduces her viewers into bearing witness to social injustices.

The figures in her tapestries and videos raise awareness about the systemic problem of violence experienced by people of color, particularly young black and brown men.”

The works investigate forms of embellishment as they relate to youth culture within disenfranchised communities. According to Lash, Patterson’s Neo-Baroque works address violence, masculinity, “bling,” visibility and invisibility within the post-colonial context of her native Jamaica and within black youth culture globally.

Throughout her career, Patterson has often placed her individual works within entirely constructed environments by using distinct wall colors or cloth wallpapers or by mixing two-dimensional with three-dimensional elements. “…while the dew is still on the roses…” will transform an entire North Building gallery at the Speed into a highly decorative theatrical space.

“This is by far our most expansive presentation of Ebony G. Patterson’s work to date,” said Lash. “We have acquired her artwork and exhibited her pieces in the past, but this presentation will occupy the entire second floor of our North Building. The Speed is committed to engaging

with challenging issues and exhibiting art that is at the forefront of contemporary discourse. We are also happy to celebrate brilliant artists of color with ties to our region.”

Originally organized by the Perez Art Museum Miami (Florida), the exhibition is the most significant presentation of Patterson’s work to date. It includes work produced over the last five years and is embedded within a new installation environment that references a night garden.

For Patterson, a night garden evokes a space of mysterious and dangerous beauty, said Lash. “It’s also a site of splendor, danger and burial,” she added. “She has created this space of memorial to capture, mourn and glorify the passing of too many sparkling lives.”

The Speed has showcased Patterson’s work in recent years, but this solo exhibition offers something special.

“The Speed’s presentation will be even larger than the Perez Art Museum Miami venue,” explained Lash. “We will show a video piece entitled, ‘The Observation: The Bush Cockerel Project, A Fictitious Historical Narrative,’ that has not been shown as a full projection room since it was exhibited in Jamaica in 2012. We will also be including new works made in the last year that will be shown in a museum for the first time.”

Poet Hannah Drake will also perform, and live music will be heard throughout the evening. In the coming months, the Speed will incorporate the exhibition into teacher professional development sessions, both over the summer and into the next school year, with tours of the exhibition offered for schoolchildren starting in September. Ebony G. Patterson “… while the dew is still on the roses…” will be featured at the Speed from June 21 until Jan. 5, 2020.

Patterson’s Kentucky connections speak to the Speed’s continued outreach to artists across the state.

“This exhibition is an excellent example of how we can showcase artists with ties to Kentucky who have internationally successful careers in the art world,” said Lash. “She was an incredible teacher at the University of Kentucky for over 10 years, and although she now is based in Chicago and her hometown of Kingston, Jamaica, she left an indelible mark on our community.

We’re thrilled to bring her back to celebrate the incredible growth her work has experienced in recent years.” V For more information on Ebony Patterson’s “...while the dew is still on the roses…,” visit speedmuseum.org.

Dare to Have Hope The Epilepsy Foundation of Kentuckiana is changing lives on a local and national level

THE VOICE OF LOUISVILLE

veryone can picture what someone having a seizure looks like. Their body convulsing, eyes rolling back into their head and perhaps even swallowing their own tongue is what comes to mind.

However, the idea of a seizure and what someone actually experiences are drastically different.

Debbie McGrath, executive director and co-founder of the Epilepsy Foundation of Kentuckiana, gained first-hand experience when her daughter Victoria was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of five.

“We didn’t know anything about epilepsy at the time,” she explained. “I was completely uneducated like most individuals who have no connection to it.”

Victoria was diagnosed in 1988, and at the time, there was only one

neurologist in the Louisville area treating pediatric epilepsy. The family spent months searching for the right treatment options and it took an entire year to find a support group.

McGrath and another parent noticed the lack of resources available to children and adults with epilepsy in the Louisville area. In 1989, they met with the National Epilepsy Foundation in Washington D.C., where they learned about several organizations serving families like theirs.

“We wanted that for our community,” McGrath said. “We want to provide programs and services that will hopefully improve lives but also save lives by educating and empowering people.”

For the last 26 years, the Epilepsy Foundation of Kentuckiana has offered access to support groups, educational JUNE 2019

Weddings & Special Events hermitagefarm.com | 502.228.1426

programs and conferences, travel assistance funds, youth camps and more to children and adults with the disorder. The organization is the only nonprofit in the state that provides these services. Their resources allow those in Kentuckiana to receive the help they need while navigating the medical and emotional journey of diagnosing and treating epilepsy.

“It’s an honor to work with children, adults and their families impacted by epilepsy,” she said. “I gain strength from their resilience and their dedication. They’re looking for treatment options to be able to control the seizures they’re dealing with.

Also, knowing that I’ve been on this journey and I know what it’s like, it’s empowering to know what they’re going through and to be able to make a difference for them at the Epilepsy Foundation.”

In their years of experience, McGrath and fellow staff members discovered that many local veterans and active servicemen and women were also in need of help.

“We realized after the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq that our military men

and women were coming back having sustained traumatic brain injuries and acquiring epilepsy because of them,” she said. “A number of facilities and epilepsy centers were put together by the VA system to help individuals impacted. We have a veteran who works within our office and does work in trying to support the veterans in need and get them connected to the different organizations and support services available to them.”

The amount of people who will develop epilepsy in their lifetime is a startling one in 26. What is even more jarring, however, is

the number of fatalities related to the disorder. Accidents such as drowning and falls while having a seizure can result in death, but a syndrome called sudden unexpected death in epilepsy is also a risk. This occurs when the sudden burst of electrical activity caused by the seizure stops the body’s heart or the respiratory system.

While the number of people living with this incredibly serious disorder is high, it tragically does not receive the financial backing or respect that other chronic health issues receive. Cliff Vetter took on the role of director of development for the foundation last year and quickly learned how underserved the cause is.

“With more than 2,000 nonprofits in our community, I am beginning to understand how competitive it can be, no matter how worthy the mission,” he said.

Nationally, in terms of research, programs and services funded by the federal government, epilepsy-related causes receive far less funding than similar causes in the United States. McGrath, her colleagues and her daughter Victoria are working to change this

by continuing to lobby in Washington D.C. and telling the stories of individuals they know living with epilepsy.

Today, 36-year-old Victoria has three children and works as an occupational therapist.

“We’re one of the fortunate families,” her mother said. “Her story gives hope to others that you can live well with epilepsy.

You can define what epilepsy looks like in your life and how you work to control

it – whether the seizures are controlled or you just power through and live as well as possible with seizures.”

This month, the Epilepsy Foundation’s largest annual fundraising event will take place throughout Kentucky. The series of Dare to Defeat Epilepsy walks across four cities – June 1 in Owensboro, June 15 in Louisville and June 22 in both Lexington and Paducah – will help raise money and awareness. These events also serve to educate those who may not understand the gravity of seizure disorders and the urgency for treatments and a cure.

“Just because you don’t have a personal relationship with someone affected,” Vetter said, “there are many people who have been (helped) through a medication, diet or a procedure. They’re successfully getting on with their lives, and I think the Epilepsy Foundation of Kentuckiana is an important reason for that.” V For more information on the organization and the upcoming walks, visit efky.org or call 502.637.4440.

EPILEPSY FACTS • ONE IN 26 individuals are affected by epilepsy.

• 150,000 INDIVIDUALS are newly diagnosed with epilepsy each year.

• Epilepsy is MORE PREVALENT than cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis combined.

• Up to 50 PERCENT OF VETERANS who have sustained traumatic brain injuries may develop post-traumatic epilepsy.

• According to the World Health Organization, epilepsy is the MOST COMMON serious brain disorder with no age, racial, social class, national or geographical boundaries.

On the Bright Side Ways to prevent and recover from sun damage this season

ummer is my favorite season. The first time I have the opportunity to wear a sundress after a long winter, I can feel my most energetic self coming out of her shell. Unfortunately, this time of year also means that I’m more likely to burn and damage my skin.

For those who have already had their day in the sun (or hundreds of them), it’s not too late to reverse damage and prevent future harm. Aesthetician Janelle Willoughby and Dr. Robert Zax of the Skin Group frequently see patients who seek remedies to turn back the clock after too many sunburns or too much tanning.

“Utilizing prescription-grade topicals can really help during the summer months,” said Willoughby. “If someone suffers from excessive sun damage, pigmentation or hormonal pigmentation like melasma, that can quiet it down because the sun wants to darken those types of pigmentation problems.”

Sunscreen slows down the aging rays as well as the pigmented rays. We want to be cautious with how much sun we get and how quickly we get it.”

— Janelle Willoughby

Chemical peels, laser treatments and intense pulsated light systems that can remove and lighten pigmentation are all options that can make dramatic corrections. Willoughby says that a personalized routine is essential for proper treatment since every person is different and lives a different lifestyle.

“We do a lot of customization,” Willoughby explains. “Sometimes it’s a multi-part system with some home care and then some office procedures. It all depends on how many activities each patient is doing outside in the summer months and what they’re a candidate for.”

For someone like me – a fair-skinned 20-something – Willoughby says it’s never too early to get skin checks and be aware of how I’m treating my skin each day.

“I always tell my 20-year-olds to start thinking about exfoliation,” she says. “It’s important, but what it looks like is different for everyone. It can be something mild. You don’t have to be investing a lot

in your skin for corrective (measures) at this point but more protective and preventive. Good exfoliation, a good sunscreen and a good eye cream are imperative.”

Sunscreen is the obvious answer to protecting our skin, but many still don’t grasp just how important it is to wear it daily and to reapply it.

“Make daily moisturizer and sunscreen part of your morning routine,” Zax adds. “I don’t care if it’s raining or snowing, ultraviolet light is always reaching the Earth’s surface and damaging our skin.”

“Sunscreen slows down the aging rays as well as the pigmented rays,” says Willoughby. “We want to be cautious with how much sun we get and how quickly we get it. A lot of people tell me, ‘I have sunscreen in my makeup. Is that enough?’ I’m happy that there’s sunscreen in makeup, but I always tell them to use that as an added

value – don’t use that as your sunscreen.”

Sunscreen in makeup is not the only misconception the Skin Group’s staff sees. Oftentimes, the practitioners find that moles and spots on the skin can be misleading.

“The ones that are scary looking are usually nothing,” says Willoughby. “And then some people think that the ones that are nothing – the pearly, scaly, scratchy spots – end up being more scary sometimes. I’ve found this on the cosmetic side. I don’t diagnose, but (patients) will show me something and it’ll end up being more concerning.”

A member of The Voice’s team recently learned this lesson firsthand. When Publisher Laura Snyder visited the Skin Group for a skin check, she discovered that one of her spots was not what it seemed.

“It had been three years since my last skin cancer screening,” she says. “I had

a nagging concern about a dark spot on my shin that seemed to be getting larger.

I kept worrying about all of the years I spent sunbathing and, I’m ashamed to admit, going to the tanning bed. Nurse Practitioner Shannon England quickly put my mind at ease about the dark spot on my shin, assuring me that it is a noncancerous seborrheic keratosis.

“But, she also spotted a pre-cancerous spot on my chest that I had never even noticed,” she continues. “I went back three days later for a five-minute cryosurgery, which consisted of a simple application of liquid nitrogen. It was virtually painless and didn’t even require a bandage.”

The Skin Group offers free skin checks for people of all ages who want to stay on top of their spots. But while many of us are ready to take sun damage seriously, others worry about not getting enough Vitamin D if they spend too little time in the sun.

“Some exposure is important,” Dr. Zax says. “We don’t need to go living in caves, but supplements are a good idea. There are some great, daily Vitamin D supplements. And sunscreen is not going to prevent all of the conversion of Vitamin D.” “That’s a misconception people have,” Willoughby affirms. “Sunscreen will not keep you from getting a tan; it just slows down the conversion of the melanocytes and the aging rays. Protect yourself while you’re outside and you’re still going to be getting Vitamin D if you’re outdoors.”

This summer, enjoy the time outside but be smart about it. Apply sunscreen and re-apply it often, and if you’re anything like this fair-skinned writer, make it a priority now so you won’t have to undo the damage later.

our wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life – a day you have dreamed about since you were a child. With this wonderful experience there comes a lot of joy and a lot of stress. There is a great deal of pressure when it comes to what you should eat and how you can present the best version of yourself. Throughout my career, I’ve trained hundreds of brides, each one obsessed with one detail or another. So, I’d like to give you my top tips on what to eat prior to and on the big day and share a workout you can do on the most memorable day of your life.

Leading up to your wedding, you want to feel your absolute sexiest and most confident. The best way to do

JUNE 2019

that is to focus on what you’re adding to your diet and not what you’re eliminating. Here are some of the main things you should eat and do the month before your wedding in order to lose weight: • Protein-rich foods will help you stay full and energized and help with healthy skin. Avoid processed food.

• Vegetables will help you stay full and provide you with essential nutrients.

• Whole grains will keep you energized and focused.

• Eating three meals a day and drinking water will keep you from overeating.

• Limit the amount of alcohol you drink leading up to the big day.

• Pre-plan your meals.

• Limit or try to eliminate foods with added sugar (corn syrup).

Brides always ask what to eat the night before their wedding to prevent bloating. The last thing you want is a big dinner sitting on your stomach the night before, so I suggest opting for a light meal of fresh veggies or salad with some chicken or fish. This will help you sleep easily and have a nice flat stomach in the morning.

The day of, definitely eat breakfast. It will start your day off right. Some great options include an egg scramble, loaded toast (with peanut butter or avocado), an omelet or loaded oatmeal. Be careful with the coffee, however. Try to keep it to a minimum so you don’t get too jittery or crash.

Also, we all like a mimosa, but remember that alcohol is a natural dietetic and this will dehydrate you, making your skin seem dull. If your nuptials are later in the day, stick with a light lunch of fish or chicken.

A workout leading up to the day or on the big day itself will help make you feel your very best. For this, you will need a set of hand weights. Do each exercise three times with 16 reps. This workout is designed to tone, whether your gown is strapless (upper body), mermaid (glutes and waist) or ball gown (waist, arms and back).

What a Time to Be a Bride

Explore the latest and greatest trends in wedding wear

By MARIAH KLINE

C

ountless details go into planning a wedding, but no choice is more important than the dress. We checked in with Sher Stemler, owner of Sher’s Bridal, and Laurie Robertson, owner of the Bridal Suite of Louisville, both of whom shared their insight into what’s big right now and why it’s so fun to be a bride in 2019.

The Ball Gown Bounces Back

2 “The romantic traditional look is being redone a lot,” says Robertson. “(It’s) almost a nod to the 1990s if you will. We’re seeing a lot of lace and crystal detail on a ball gown with an extra long, exaggerated, cathedral-length train.

Think of your great-grandmother’s wedding or Kate Middleton.

“The updated traditional gowns are featuring a lot of texture,” she continues. “Designers have been using multiple laces from Venetian to Alençon. ...The full skirts on these ball gowns have also been updated with a more structured look to them and more defined lines than your traditional predecessors. Many brides are also looking for the relaxed ball gowns that have the same kind of cut but have been deconstructed on the inside.”

Gone are the days of seeking a strapless gown to show off one’s arms. Now, 4 sleeves are having a big moment.

“We’re seeing more covered shoulders,” says Stemler. “Fewer strapless dresses are on the market and sleeves – long sleeves and cap sleeves – have made a comeback. They’ve all got something on the shoulders or a halter.”

“Designers from haute couture to mainstream designers are all showing detachable sleeves,” says Robertson.

“The beauty of these is that it can create two different looks for a bride. She can wear them for the ceremony, creating a more modest look, and then remove them for the reception, creating a whole new look.”

Combs, tiaras and headbands are still around, but they’ve got nothing on the veil. Cathedral veils in particular are making a huge comeback, according to both Robertson and Stemler.

“We’re doing a lot of court cathedral veils, which are about two yards past the standard cathedral,” says Stemler. “They’re made with a lot of heavy, beautiful lace with appliques on. They’re not coming all the way up around your face like they used to. The trim starts at the elbow so it’s very pretty.”

Up to Your Neck in Allure “We’ve been seeing plunging, exaggerated necklines for the past year,” says Robertson. “These and cut-outs in the dresses with some shear areas are not going anywhere any time soon. High necklines are also on the rise though – think Jackie O, Princess Grace Kelly and Meghan Markle.

These necklines will always fit the classic, timeless bride and that will never go away.”

Minimalism and Megan Markle “Another look hitting the bridal industry strong is the Meghan Markle effect,” says Robertson. “This probably doesn’t come as any surprise because not only is she now a princess, but she’s the first American princess over in the United Kingdom and I think brides find her very relatable. Her style for her wedding was also relatable and approachable while remaining regal.

“The minimalism of Meghan Markle is in high demand,” she adds. “Designers are using the beautiful mikado fabric like her dress. Crepes, matte and satin are strong this season. Minimalistic silhouettes can be seen in fit and flare, A-line and ball gown silhouettes, and all of them are done without a single applique or bead on it.”

Fab Fabrics Having been in the industry for 47 years, Stemler reflects on the days when high-quality fabric options were few and far between.

“When talking about the ’70s and ’80s, we didn’t have good fabric back then,” she explains. “Everything was polyester before. A drastic change was made when the Chinese silk market opened, and for that we are fortunate.”

Thankfully, options abound now. Robertson says what many brides are seeking this year is the heavier weight of mikado.

“Mikado is high on every bride’s list,” she says. “It JUNE 2019

looks like satin at first glance, but when you look closely, it almost has a weave that looks like twill.

It used to be the kiss of death to a designer when they’d put a dress on the market in mikado, but not any more. It lends a very tailored look, and it drapes beautifully but with a more structured look, which is very on trend right now.”

English net and soft tulle fabrics are also in, especially in our area where country affairs are as big as ever.

“Many people are still having barn weddings, at least here in Kentucky,” says Robertson. “Even with the rise of more formal weddings in churches and more formal reception venues, barn weddings are still very relevant, and that’s where the English nets and the soft tulles are still strong players along with lace. They’re ethereal, they’re rustic, they’re bohemian.”

Express Yourself “Brides are probably having more fun now than they’ve ever had in the past. So many options are offered a la carte from designers now so you can customize your dress,” Robertson says.

However, she adds, “The one thing we always remind our brides of is ‘Your day, your way. No matter what the runway dictates, it’s still imperative that brides stay true to themselves.” V

any believe that the greatest romances begin with friendship.

Emily Nicklies and Mary Jane McInnis are two such individuals who found each other as friends and eventually fell in love. On Oct. 6 of last year, the pair began their happily ever after in front of family and friends at the Brown Hotel. We recently spoke with Mary Jane to learn more about their love story and how she and Emily pulled off the perfect day.

When and how did you two meet?

We met as freshmen in 2004 at the University of Dayton. We both joined the crew team on somewhat of a whim. It wasn’t too long before we were best friends, spending the bulk of our free time together and writing each other letters on yellow legal pad paper over the summers and breaks as “pen pals.” After a few years of what we had both assumed was just a close friendship, we realized our feelings were deeper than that and we began dating our senior year of college.

When and how did you get engaged?

We had the pleasure of enjoying two proposals. We moved to Chicago from our respective hometowns (Emily from Louisville and me from Stamford, Connecticut) in the summer of 2016.

We had talked about getting engaged, and we knew we were both ready in the spring of 2017. We also both knew that we wanted to propose to the other, and we claimed we did not care who went first and did not want to plan the order (though I did secretly want to go first).

As soon as Emily told me she was ready to get married, I reached out to her family for permission and started planning. On Aug. 18, 2017, I told Emily I wanted to play Peanuts, a card game we frequently play with her family. I handed her a deck of cards that, unbeknownst to her, had a blank face upon which I had written 52 times I knew I loved her. After she read through them (I hadn’t thought through how long that would take – the anxiety was killing me!), I got down on my knee and proposed.

A few months later, Emily brought in the mail at our home and handed it to me. In the pile was a letter addressed to me in handwriting I did not recognize. I opened it up and saw two sheets of yellow legal pad paper with Emily’s handwriting on them. I read the contents – the most beautiful, thoughtful letter – and when I finished, Emily was on her knee and she proposed. It was so touching and so full-circle given our many years of writing letters to each other on that same paper.

Our biggest support was without a doubt our mothers.

We called them the “dream team.” They were very helpful, patient and organized – they each had an adorable binder of handwritten notes, to-do lists, important documents, etc. We would have been completely lost without their help. Living in Chicago, it was difficult to manage all the things that needed to get done in Louisville, so it was very helpful to have Jan, Emily’s mom, local.

On the weekend of the wedding, we had the help of Jeannie Smith and Ashley McDonald from Ashby Wedding and Event Planning. They were absolutely amazing and took care of all the little details and moving parts so we all could enjoy the time celebrating. It was incredible how much stress they took away from us, and how perfectly on-time they kept us all day.

What was your favorite part of the planning process?

We will admit we weren’t the best planners – the options and decisions quickly became pretty overwhelming. One thing we did both thoroughly enjoy though was the food tasting at The Brown. We went with our mothers and had so much fun trying all of the delicious food. Each plate was better than the last. It was also a time for us to walk around the venue again with more details solidified and really begin picturing our wedding day. It was so exciting, and we left very full.

What moment from the wedding stands out most in your mind when you look back on the day?

Transportation: Miller Transportation

Two moments really stick out: We did our first look at Oxmoor Farm, a special place for Emily’s family given her grandparents grew up and met there. After seeing each other outside in the garden, we headed into the library for what I thought was a meet-up with the bridal party. As soon as we walked in, I saw that the room was empty except for our videographers, photographers and two of Emily’s friends sitting at the piano. Emily had arranged the most beautiful surprise – she had her incredibly talented friends (a married pianist and singer) prepare a cover of a song that was very special to us.

As they played the song, the two of us danced. It was so touching, romantic and intimate, being able to share that moment between the two of us before the hustle of the rest of the day began. The second moment was from the reception when our amazing band, The Company Band, brought us on stage and performed Beyonce and Jay-Z’s “Drunk in Love.”

It was such a blast being on that stage, dancing and singing, while all of our favorite people danced and celebrated on the floor. We felt like rockstars. It was hilarious and so much fun.

“

It goes by quickly, so remember to pause and check in with yourself and soak up all the happiness you are feeling.”

— Mary Jane

Where did you go on your honeymoon?

We went on a mini-moon right after the wedding, heading down to Emily’s parents’ condo in Sarasota, Florida. We wanted to go somewhere really relaxing to just recoup and enjoy quality time without the pressure of sightseeing, substantial travel, etc. It was definitely the right call because we were so tired and just wanted to chill.

We are going on our actual honeymoon this June to Spain.

We are first going to San Sebastian, a beautiful city on the water in Northern Spain near the French border. That is a special place for us because it is where I studied abroad for a semester during college, which was when we both started to realize how much we truly cared for each other. After San Sebastian, we are heading down to Marbella to enjoy the beaches of Southern Spain.

What advice would you give to couples who are in the middle of planning their wedding?

We heard a (significant) piece of advice from someone soon after getting engaged: find and own the things and decisions that really matter to you about the wedding and, if you have people helping like we did with our mothers, delegate the rest.

It’s exhausting and incredibly difficult to agonize over and analyze every decision, so at some point, you have to just trust others and let them take control. Not everything will go exactly as you planned, but you will also be more blown away than you’re expecting by all the love and joy you will feel from your friends and family throughout the journey. It goes by quickly, so remember to pause and check in with yourself and soak up all of the happiness you are feeling. Make it a priority to focus on that and not the anxiety over the weather or fitting into a dress. V

Galas and Brunches and Parties, Oh My!

THE VOICE OF LOUISVILLE

et me tell you about some of the latest adventures I’ve had. This gal needed a little polishing to get ready for the Kentucky Derby Museum Gala, so I caught up with Dr. Sean McGuire of the Physician’s Center for Beauty, and the services I received made all the difference. We started off with dermaplaning, a fancy name for shaving your face. Yes, I did it and loved the results. The soft layer of peach fuzz on my face was gently removed along with the superficial layer of dead skin (gasp!).

Then we moved onto tackling what looked like the number 11 happily emblazoned between my eyebrows (frown lines caused by repeated

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

scrunching of eyebrows). A little injection of Dysport and voila, those elevens were erased in no time. Last but not least, I was told my lips were asymmetrical, so onward with a little enhancing and poof, good as new. My lip gloss has never looked so good.

Thanks to all of the beauty services – including having Daniel Strasser, creative director for Clique Boutique apply my makeup – I was prepared for the Derby Museum Gala held at Churchill Downs. Tonya Abeln, president of the Churchill Downs Foundation, recapped, “Under the leadership of Michelle Mudd and the guidance of the incredible staff at KDM, this year’s Kentucky Derby Museum Gala was

JUNE 2019

one for the ages as guests were given the opportunity to dine and explore the newly expanded space.”

Michelle Mudd chaired the gala while looking absolutely enchanting alongside her husband Bill Mudd, president and COO Churchill Downs.

“This year’s gala, with presenting sponsor Central Bank, showcased the museum’s expansion, the Oaks Garden Terrace,” she said. “Guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres inside The Mansion at Churchill Downs Racetrack followed by a trolley ride to the museum for a seated dinner and dessert. Afterwards, guests danced the night away to the Celebrity All Star Band.”

Onward to the next escapade – a quick jaunt to New York to take my daughter (a student at NYU Tisch) to the well-known 21 Club. If she couldn’t get home for Derby, I thought we’d have great fun dining at this “hangout of choice for New York’s elite.” As you enter the restaurant, you immediately notice the cast-iron jockeys that line the staircase near the entrance. It all started in 1931 when the colt Twenty Grand won the Kentucky Derby and the first cast-iron jockey was put on display to commemorate the win. The item quickly multiplied outside 21 as big races were won and stables were honored with a replica painted with the proper colors and inscribed with the owner’s name or stable. We enjoyed every moment, including being seated under the thousands of toys and memorabilia suspended from the ceiling. Oddly enough, our table was under the UofL basketball signed by a former coach. What are the chances?

Next, Josh Meredith, the creative director of Original Makers Club, hosted a Woodford Reserve Oaks

Janice and Sarah Carter Levitch visiting the legendary 21 Club in New York, famous for the cast iron jockeys lining the entrance celebrating the well-known thoroughbred stables in America.

Brunch on the rooftop of the Omni Hotel. “It’s exciting to see a vision become a reality,” he explained to me.

“Over the past six years, the Oaks Garden Party & Brunch has kicked off the greatest weekend in Kentucky! Partnering with Louisville’s top chefs and one-of-a-kind venues (and) having Woodford Reserve, the presenting sponsor of the Kentucky Derby, involved has elevated the event beyond measure.”

I have to say, all of these adventures are exponentially more gratifying with my sweetheart in tow. Concluding the festivities, I had the opportunity to attend Christy Brown’s Derby party. Guests arrived by the busload directly from the track.

The Juggernaut Jug Band kept the crowd moving and libations kept flowing. Steve Wilson, co-founder of 21c Museum Hotels, arrived with his special guest Daniel Lismore, a wellknown artist in London, England. “He is art,” Wilson commented on Lismore’s style. Lismore has a resume that would knock the haute couture socks off of any legendary fashionista. That’s a wrap on another first Saturday in May! V VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

When everything seemed to be falling apart for Christopher, Class Act Federal Credit Union was there to help him pick up the pieces.”

“Picking Up the Pieces” A Class Act Member’s New Beginning Provided by

F

or 27 years, Christopher Helm touched the lives of visually impaired students by traveling from school to school as a resource teacher. He discussed his ventures in education with unmistakable passion in his voice, “I loved working with kids who were visually impaired...they’re just so grateful to have somebody there to help them.” Recently, Christopher decided to retire and buy his “forever home” with the help of Class Act Federal Credit Union. He’s been a member of Class Act for over 30 years, and expressed that working with them made home buying a pleasant experience. This was due, in part, to the excellent customer service he received from his mortgage officer, “She was on the phone, texting me, or sending me emails constantly. I mean, she really kept me up to date with the whole process.”

Unfortunately, Christopher was thrown a curveball when he was involved in a hit and run that left him with a totaled car, a concussion, and whiplash. He was suddenly in a difficult situation where he needed a new home and a new car at the same time. While he was nervous at the time, Class Act came through for him as they always have in the past, “It was amazing that I had to really go out on a limb, and they had no problem with allowing me to secure a mortgage and to finance a brand new car.”

When everything seemed to be falling apart for Christopher, Class Act Federal Credit Union was there to help him pick up the pieces. He was surprised by how easy it was to get a new car and a new house simultaneously through Class Act. “It went smooth as silk,” said Christopher, “They take all the hassle out of the application process and the approval process...They just have great service.” Now, Christopher is ready to embark on his new adventure in his “forever home” with his brand new car parked out front. Whatever the future holds for Christopher, Class Act Federal Credit Union will be there, by his side, helping him along the way.

1937-2019

lun Jones, 82, the long-time director of the Louisville Ballet, died April 26, 2019 in Greece of a heart attack.

A native of Wales, Jones and his wife, ballerina Helen Starr, came to Louisville in 1975 to help start the Louisville Ballet School.

Jones became artistic director of the ballet in 1978 and led the company for 24 years before retiring in 2002. Under his leadership, the ballet’s subscriptions exploded and the ballet developed a national reputation for innovation. After retirement, Jones continued to stage ballets he choreographed in Louisville and around the country. In April, the Louisville Ballet reprised Jones’ “Cinderella.”

Jones is survived by his wife, Helen; a daughter, Hannah Thomas (Scott); a son, Gareth; grandsons, Rhys and Gordon Thomas; and granddaughters, Myranda and Makayla Thomas.

The family is planning a celebration of Jones’ life for August.

The family suggests that expressions of sympathy go to Raptor Rehabilitation of Kentucky, P.O. Box 206186, Louisville, KY 40250-6186, raptorehab. org/donate.html; StageOne Family Theatre, 315 W.
