2011 ~ Looking Ahead To A New Wedding Year And A Few Inside Planning Tips....

Greg and I are back from a wonderful two week vacation in the Caribbean ~ rested and excited to re-engage for a new year.

Much like a bride and groom may feel at the end of their wedding day, is how I often feel at the very end of a 10-month wedding season - happy, worn out and so glad it's over.

Glad it's over?!

Yes ~ absolutely. It's a wonderful feeling to know that my weddings for the year are complete and well done (hopefully my couples agree). What I'm not shy about sharing with my couples and colleagues in the wedding world is the gentle tension I often carry and hide around every wedding.

The challenge of creating and officiating a wedding ceremony is this: you can't do it over. So with this work comes a level of attention and performance that demands a high degree of dedication and planning to insure a beautiful and memorable result - i.e., an authentic weddding ceremony.

As Kelly and Ryan worked to create a beautiful wedding day experience, thousands of couples in the Puget Sound area are now planning their weddings for 2011. Let me humbly offer a few hard earned "planning tips from the frontline of all things wedding..."

~ Keep It Real: If you want to be married on Alki Beach with 2 witnesses ~ do it. If you want to be married at Villa Academy like Kelly and Ryan with great pomp, do it. This is your wedding and keeping it real means doing what is right for you. Tune out all "do this/do that" wedding noise and stay true to what is important to you.

~ Plan Not Only A Wedding, Plan A Marriage: Your engagement time is not only for wedding planning, it is a remarkable moment in time to grow deeper in your loving relationship. Ask the big questions, create your covenants, road map your vision/desires for your marriage - use your engagement time to grow deeper in love and understanding so you may walk into your wedding day with grace and ease.

Here's to a wonderful 2011!

Title: Pioneer DDJ-T1 Traktor Controller FIRST LOOK | NAMM 2011 | ProAudioStar.com

Pioneer DDJ-T1 Traktor DJ Controller
http://www.proaudiostar.com

Here's our exclusive look at the Pioneer DDJ-T1 from inside NAMM. Pioneer has already released a feature video on it's Serato counterpart the DDJ-S1, and now here's your chance to get up close and personal with the four channel Traktor design.

It looks as though it really does emulate the feel of a Pioneer CDJ, with similar button style and layout, while at the same time manifesting specific functions of Traktor into it's a layout with the Effects and Fliter knobs. The layout of the mixer looks extremely intuitive and I'd expect no less from Pioneer. Cueing and assigning effects to the channels is clearly indicated by the light up buttons and the "master" and "sync" buttons look particularly useful when keeping track of your sync function in Traktor.

Overall not that far off from playing on a pair of Pioneer CDJ-2000's and a DJM-800. You'll miss your built in effects if you're used to having them on the mixer but if you're a serious Traktor user already or looking to dive in deeper this could get you there in a more compact and portable unit.
