Meet Betsy {Our New Intern} + Learn About Wish Upon a Wedding’s Rubies + Ruffles Fundraiser
Monday, January 30, 2012
I am super excited to introduce the Nashville bridal community to our newest blogger, our Spring intern, Betsy. According to Betsy, "My love for weddings began as a child while watching my mom tie loopy bows, arrange elegant flowers, encourage nervous brides, and comfort happy-teared mothers. Holding her hand, I walked many aisles with my mom, enchanted by the weddings she had planned and the princesses of brides she had befriended. Each time I entered a new fairy land. Though these days are long past, few things make my heart do somersaults like a wedding. As a junior at Belmont University, majoring in English Writing, I couldn't devise an internship more perfect than writing for Ashley's Bride Guide. Truly, it's a joy to share in the magic of the wedding world!"
Betsy is a delight; she's super spunky and the sweetest girl you will meet. If you see her at Sunday's bridal show or out and about, please say hello. Until then, enjoy her first interview with Sarah of Noah Liff Opera Center...

Through fundraising and linking arms with area vendors, Wish Upon a Wedding collects money and resources to grant wedding wishes for couples facing terminal illnesses and extreme life-altering circumstances. After an application process, a couple is selected for a free of charge, wedding of their dreams. This event, Rubies and Ruffles, is a fundraiser to help raise awareness and money for Wish Upon a Wedding, which will serve chosen couples in the area.
