I looked for him everywhere. My assistant looked for him too. The best man called for him from the door of the men’s room without any answer. It turned out that he had been in the men’s room, chilling. He needed a few minutes to ponder what had just happened. | |

Executing their vision is the fun part. | |
| My biggest pet peeve is... My biggest pet peeve is when a friend or relative wants to take over the planning of the wedding. People can contribute ideas, but the wishes of the bride and groom have priority. | |
| When I was a child, I dreamt I would be a... dancer | |
