“THE GUEST LIST” by Lucy Foley

“As a wedding planner you can’t afford to miss anything.

See, mine is a profession in which you orchestrate happiness.
It is why I became a wedding planner.

Life is messy. We all know this.
Terrible things happen, I learned that while I was still a child.
But no matter what happens, life is only a series of days.
You can’t control more than a single day. 
But you can control one of them. Twenty-four hours can be curated.

A wedding day is a neat little parcel of time in which I can create something whole and perfect to be cherished for a lifetime, a pearl from a broken necklace.

But it’s all about the moment, a wedding.

All about the day.

It’s not really about the marriage at all, in spite of what everyone says.”
