The day before the most important day in my life, my wedding, Barrie Gillies called me to interview me about my experience as an Engagement Planner at The Heart Bandits for December’s Issue of Brides Magazine. We spent a lot of time talking about why proposals have turned in to such huge events whereas before they were known as private, intimate moments in a couples lives. Grab December’s Issue of Brides Magazine to read the whole proposal guide.
