I also first met Molly, at the intern training evening, where we made large paper flowers to decorate the barn and assembled welcome bags for guests. It was a great time to bond with the girls, but even better yet, to bond with Molly who shadowed me for most of the wedding day. Together we worked as bridal attendants for Hillary and her girls: getting them all lunch, moving them along the timeline of the day, and arranging golf carts to transport our vip couple to secluded areas for photos. Molly it was a pleasure working side by side with you on Hillary and Weston’s Ojai Wedding! {nira}
