$2000 for a wedding!

After playing two hours of overtime at my wedding on Saturday, I officially performed at my first $2000 wedding...

The best part is that my second one is this coming weekend!

I wish they would book this way every weekend but having that number come up twice within a week nearly 4 years after being told I would NEVER make more than 1/4 of the total at a wedding puts a big smile on my face.

Especially considering I just ordered Heating Oil this morning for $2.11 per gallon!

UGH!

That's great Jim!

I have my first (and, as it turns out, last) $1200 wedding in October.

I figured I had nothing to lose so I quoted it and low and behold, they said yes!

Sometimes, all you have to do to get what you want is ask for it.

Well John, I seem to remember a recent admission from you that you were going to call it quits. I thought it was mere fantasy on your part, but is it true? Can I not say that there's no turning back and that they'll all be $1200 events from now on?
