I am so grateful for my Associate Planner aka “Mom” - Donna Gray! In these behind the scenes photos captured by the amazing Kai Davis Photography, we were fresh from planning an amazing wedding! What you don't see is a Planner (me) and an Associate Planner (Donna) that was preparing for my aunt, her sister's funeral in the following days.  

In the midst of trying to run and operate a successful business...smile and be as professional as possible...compose emotions that would destroy and crush any human...we were able to carry the strength of resilience. We knew that our God was in control and only He could give us the strength that we needed to get us through this day and the days to follow.

While we were being a blessing to a couple where the bride currently has Stage 4 Breast Cancer, we were also preparing to celebrate the life of our loved one, who lost her battle to Cancer just one week before the wedding day. A disease that has struck my immediate family more than I could have ever imagined. This day…was for certain one that God ordered.

Studies show that Wedding and Event Planners hold the third most stressful job in the world. I wouldn't argue with that...but I will say that it is also the most rewarding when you get to witness couples commit to one another and promise to love one another.  Even in going through our own personal life challenges, struggles and emotions, we were able to hold each other up so that we could get through the day and hold each other up so that we could get through our life after that wedding day.

To say that I am grateful for Donna Gray is an understatement. But…thank you for showing up for Sheree Amour Weddings & Event Planning with a strength that I can’t describe and a support that helps me do what I do, no matter the circumstances. To say that we’ve been through it all…well…we’ve been through it all and I’m so grateful for your dedication to not only my company ~ but my dream! I appreciate you more than you know.
