What do you like best about your job?

"I love that my job doesn't actually feel like a job. I work 12 hour days, no lie, sometimes 7 days a week. My average week is about 95 hours. But every day I meet women that are so full of anticipation and expectations about the one thing they have been dreaming of their whole life......their wedding day! Who hasn't been dreaming of that special day when they marry their Prince Charming? That's what I do, I have propitiated to that happily ever after concept for over 40 years. I literally built my dream so you could have yours!"

What's one trend you're excited about?

"White. White is traditional, white is pure and absolutely amazing!"

What is your favorite accessory for brides?

"A Smile."

What's one thing you wish you knew before you started working here?

"That this was going to morph into an internet, review driven business that gives people with no confront a vehicle to be unkind. Well, you asked."

What do you love to do when you're not working?

"I have a whole life away from SBB. I have an amazingly talented husband who I have been with for 43 years and we have a band called "Two's Company". I have an equally amazing daughter and son in law, who both work in the movie industry, and I am blessed to have 2 wonderful grandbabies."

What's your best piece of advice for brides?

"Never let the sun set on your anger. My husband is my best friend and should be yours, too. We always eat dinner together no matter how late the hour because sometimes that all the time we have together."
