Desperately Seeking Susan

The conversation is heady as the banter flies back and forth and the background noise all but fades away. You never knew somebody could "get" you so quickly, and it's like you've known each other forever. You only have eyes for each other and the realization hits: I think I've found someone pretty special.

The love of your life, right?

Not exactly. But she just might help you and said lover stage the wedding of your dreams.

Recognizing the growing pool of both engaged couples and the wedding planners hoping to assist them, fellow planner Kathy Smith had an intriguing idea: speed dating, in a sense, for wedding planners and their potential clients. A novel spin on that most uncertain of dating traditions, Brides on the Go
recognizes that today's couples are busy busy busy - so why not gather everyone together, add some complimentary champagne and watch the enterpreneurial sparks fly?

Couples have five minutes to meet with participating planners, get the lowdown on their services and more importantly, suss out whether this potential partnership could be an effective match. Minneapolis, D.C. and San Francisco brides will have their chance of finding Miss or Mr. Right Hand Man later this year with other cities soon to follow.

If only finding the fiance had been this easy.
