On the day of the wedding, while we were getting ourselves ready she was getting everything else ready. The peace of mind that came with knowing that someone else had a handle on things and that truly, I did not need to worry, was amazing. Ang arranged all our flowers, made sure the chairs were where they were supposed to be, made sure our decorations were up, that the food was going to be ready, that the music was cued up, that we drank water and didn’t pass out. She knew that there’d be enough forks and spoons for dessert, deputized a friend to make sure we ate something, took care of the programs being handed out, made sure the ketubah and pen safely under the chuppah. Details? Check, check.
Of course stuff went wrong, but we never knew about it until afterwards because no sooner did something go awry than Ang was there, fixing it. Amazing.
You know what else? In addition to being a super-on-top-of-her-game wedding planner Ang is also a really nice person. When you are crying in your childhood bedroom because everyone sucks, the wedding stress is getting to you and you don’t even want to do this anymore, of course not one of your best friends will pick up their stupid cell phones. In desperation you wind up breaking down and calling the wedding planner who you hardly know, and if your planner is Ang she will pick up the phone, say “Oh Honey, what happened?” and listen to you be ridiculous while not making you feel like an idiot in the process.
I love me some Ang.

Would this be an inappropriate time to tell everyone how much I love Ang? I think that woman needs to get a job as a mind reader, and get paid a f***ton of money for it, like as a consultant for wayward companies that are too incompetent to figure out what they want out of meetings. She just walks up to the CEO, reads his/her mind, and comes up with a mission statement. Come to think of that, I think every CEO should have one.
Anyway, Ang rocks in that apparently you can send her long paragraphs of disorganized wedding-related vomit, and she can figure out the exact right two sentences to summarize it into something coherent. It’s like a super power. All Hail Ang.
