Weddings are often the most highly anticipated event in a young woman's life; no other social affair elicits as much
passion, anxiety and attention to detail. With more than 22 years as a wedding consultant, Carol Rosen, of Los Angeles is a
respected industry leader. She feels the process of planning a wedding serves a dual process. While the engaged couple
works this through, they are also beginning to create the new family unit that will be theirs apart. According to Carol, the
two most pivotal elements of any wonderful wedding are the music and the photography/videography. The quality of the
music will directly influence how much fun you and your guests will have and the photographs or video will ensure that
you can re-visit that wonderful day in future years. Spend careful time interviewing the professionals that will provide
these two services. This might be a place to splurge...
