Well, the wedding went swimmingly. Although quite chaotic behind the scenes, everything went smooth as glass. Monica looked gorgeous in not just one dress - but two. Grace (her daughter) wore a custom dress that mimicked Monica's, but with a more playful, youthful spin on it. The cake, although from Walmart, was astounding. It tasted great and looked fantastic. The flower girls were...energetic...to say the least. As for my performances, they went rather well. I was nervous as heck but I pulled through, I suppose. What they say is definitely true: the most difficult people to perform for are your family. And here I was, standing up in front of almost my entire family, singing my heart out! I ended up singing Edelweiss, and A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes, per Monica's request. The response was fantastic. Among the generous and lovely comments I received that day, there were two from total strangers that really made my day. One older man said, announcing to his whole table, that I had a golden throat and was one of the greatest talents of the generation. Another older person came up to me asked if I wanted to be in show business. Naturally I said yes. She smiled and guaranteed that I would make it there. I didn't know this woman at all and she had already become an influential person in my life, just by saying those encouraging words. Every person who encourages me that way is considered influential to my career, because with every kind word, I feel more and more obliged and determined to reach my goals.
