Or figure out DIY versions of what they want. If anyone can figure out a way to plan a fantastic party on even the shittiest of budgets, I know you could.”
“Telling the daughter that is the hardest point of my career.” Alec rolled his eyes as he shook his head. “It’s just an engagement party, but she wants diamond encrusted champagne glasses. There’s no way to simply DIY those into existence, babe. It’s convincing her father to see me without her that’s the problem. He seems to understand the situation and she….she’s an absolute bride-zilla already and the engagement was a month ago.”
