The Wedding Planners: New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve

As 2008 comes to a close, I can't help but think about how the Wedding Planners were so much a part of my year. The blog debuted, the books went on sale and the friendship between the six of us authors deepened. Our Yahoo group loop is as busy as it was when this whole thing started. We talk about writing, but also our lives-our families and our dreams.

I can't tell you how much Shirley, Myrna, Linda, Susan and Lisa mean to me. When we talked about friends writing about friends we weren't kidding! That's one reason we plan on continuing this blog into 2009! I don't think any of us are ready to say goodbye to the Wedding Planners or each other even though we're all concentrating on our own stories now.

I hope you'll join us here at the Wedding Planners in 2009 as we not only continue talking about weddings, but expand the blog to other topics that might be our minds at the moment!

In honor of New Year's Eve, I thought I'd share a romantic scene from a movie that takes place as the clock strikes twelve and the new year arrives. Enjoy!

Happy New Year from all of us at The Wedding Planners!

Myrna Mackenzie said...: I absolutely love this scene (and I had forgotten it). What a great way to start the new year!

And I echo everything that Melissa said. When we decided to write The Wedding Planners, we had all known each other through our years of writing for the same line, but even so, I thought we were just going to write a series together. We did, but we did so much more, bonding over life and love and books and...this blog. And I like to think that we've bonded a bit with the people who make comments here, too. Some are names I know we've all learned to recognize and some are new. Thank you to all of you for sharing with us. And as Melissa said, come back and visit again as we begin a new year together and expand to some new topics!; December 31, 2008 at 6:40 AM
