I met Mahogany last year at Angela & Ashvind’s Wedding and haven’t seen her until just recently at Summer and Julian’s wedding! It’s always refreshing to see a familiar face after so long, and with that name, how could I ever forget her! She gave me the update on her brave decision to quit her full time job to focus on becoming a wedding planner!
Great job Mahogany! I admire your determination. I wish you the best in all you do. It was a pleasure having you at Summer and Julian’s wedding September 3rd, 2011! {Nira}
