May+Ken=Fabulous

Last Spring we had the pleasure of helping to coordinate the M+K Hollywood Glam themed wedding for May Lugemwa and Ken McKether. It was a wedding of national proportions with the sister/coordinator/Maid of Honor helping immensely from New Jersey, the couple in Los Angeles, Tempest Bleu live from Atlanta and the wedding in Birmingham. If I may be so blunt, May and Ken are our favorite type of couple – laid back, trusting, incredibly smart and highly creative. The bride, a grad of Harvard University, decided to pursue her dream of film and produced an award-winning film about a sister she didn’t know about in Uganda. Her family left when she was seven under the rein of Idi Amin. The groom, a comedian, actor and musician serenaded his bride via acoustic guitar ballad at the wedding, leaving no dry eye in the house. We had a ton of fun at their wedding – no way to be a wall flower during the African dancing and no way to pass up Tempest Bleu’s custom designed popcorn favors. We wish May and Ken all the best as they follow their dreams in LA. When you renew your vows, we’d love to be there to cheer you on. Congratulations and happy early anniversary!
