Last week my dream came true, I made it on the Today Show. And I didn’t even have to go to New York! For all of you avid Today show viewers like myself, you are well aware that Al Roker made a trip around the US last week searching for the next Today show couple for Today Throws a Wedding. One of my best friends lives in Miami and after making a life size wedding cake sign with mine and Russell’s picture on it, she was ready for Al when he made his stop. Not only was the poster featured in numerous commercial breaks, but Liz also got an interview with Al! View the “Meet Some Miami Couples” video.

Many young girls dream of their wedding day. They envision the perfect dress, flowers and venue. I, on the other hand, always dreamed of getting married on the Today Show. It has been my dream since watching Sunny and Chris get married in NYC. Although I may not be choosen as a finalist (I am still hopeful!), I can at least say I finally made an appearance on one of my favorite shows. It was the best day ever. All of my my friends and family who saw the show, called us. Now I know why celebrities love the spotlight. Fame is addictive! Next up- American Idol.

Working on the fund-raising event for Carolina Autism was so rewarding. I had the opportunity to help with everything from hand delivering invitations to setting up the evening of. This was definitely the highlight of my internship with Trio. Here are some pictures from the event.

So as we all know, the CNN/YouTube Democratic debate was held in Charleston this past Monday and I had the great pleasure of meeting John and Elizabeth Edwards while they were in town. Well I didn’t really meet the Senator but I did shake his hand. I did however meet Mrs. Edwards. As PR chair for the Lowcountry Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure I worked with the Edwards campaign office (which they were great) to set up an opportunity for some of our survivors to present her with a banner (signed by hundreds of survivors) and a bouquet of pink roses. Lucy Spears also gave Mrs. Edwards a Komen lapel pin which I noticed later that evening Mrs. Edwards was proudly wearing during her post-debate interview with CNN. We only got about five minutes of her time but she was so gracious and it was really cool to be able to hug her and let her know that A LOT of people are behind her.

BTW - the lapel pin that Senator Edwards is wearing is a tribute to his son, Wade. It was Wade’s Outward Bound pin. My heart goes out to them. I know their son is so proud of his parents.
