If you’re reading this blog post, you’ve probably come from my new website. While this blog remains intact for your reading enjoyment, my previous website is a thing of the past. It’s quite a story!
Back in October 2025, I had the pleasure of planning a wedding for my friend and Bravo star Alexis Bellino. A week before her ceremony tying the knot with John Janssen, I was making the finishing touches on planning the festivities. This meant updating my website.
But disaster struck. The site crashed, and most of it was unsalvageable. Determined to get a new website online, my site designer and I worked hard to bring Marydann.com back to life. We even stepped away from the wedding for a moment to collaborate with a web developer, to ensure it would go live the next day. The effort paid off and the website is up and running!
Planning this wedding was a great honor. Here’s a clip of Alexis and me discussing this special experience:
As Alexis and I say, this was her last and best wedding!
I always adore planning second weddings, and I’ve done 2 of them in the last year. There’s something so special about a bride finding her forever groom. These couples have a refreshing maturity and clearheadedness about them, in addition to the excitement that accompanies any wedding. They focus more on connections with friends than on making a huge statement. Their confidence shines through.
I find these grooms to be more involved, too. There are two collaborative voices. The couple checks in with each other and takes each other’s thoughts into consideration. It’s a beautiful process to be a part of.
