34 Events and Room to Read

When I was asked to coordinate my first wedding, I really didn't plan on continuing down the road which has led to an actual creation of our business, 34 Events.

I continue to do very little promotion or advertising as word of mouth and referrals mean the world to me. I also wanted to do more with the revenue. I wanted to give back in a special way.

Dave and I talked about various ways in which we could use 34 Events to become more involved in our own community and globally. We had a few charities that we had fallen in love with. Some had special places in our hearts because loved ones were living and surviving with Cystic Fibrosis, some we loved because they devote themselves to pursing and ensuring education in third world countries and some are just because....

Lauren and Josh have chosen Room to Read as the charity that we will donate to in their name. We feel so blessed to make this donation in your name. Below is a link to the Room to Read web page, they are amazing and one of my best friends is the San Diego Chapter Leader. We hope that we can continue to make donations, one person at a time, we do make a difference.

Lauren and Josh, July 10, 2010

Lauren and Josh were married at a private residence in Ramona, Ca. near Mt. Woodson. The location could not have represented their love and vision more perfectly. Although you want your wedding day to be unforgettable and unique, you also pray that it is an example of your love and the life you are striving to live together every day thereafter. Lauren and Josh got this......

They were so easy to work with, so accommodating and so laid back. Lauren was beautiful and Josh a true hero to his new bride and everyone in attendance. So many times we forget about who the bride and groom actually are, not just what they look like on their special day. Lauren is a teacher, committed to making a better way for children. Committed to demonstrating patience and grace to each student that walks through her classroom door. Josh is serving our country in the United States Marines and committed to protecting each one of us in ways we cannot. They are both, together, committed to loving the Lord and living each day with that at the center of their marriage.

It was a true pleasure getting to know Lauren, Josh, their families the owners of the private residence and all of the wedding party. So much fun and such a privilege for me to share the day with you.
