? SUNDAY RESET ? Your purpose isn’t just a dream—it’s your divine assignment. ? ? Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”? ? As wedding professionals, we’re called to something greater than just weddings and events... We’re creating sacred moments that reflect God’s artistry and love.? ? Success comes from finding clarity (vision), even during uncertain times.? Your vision isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s ESSENTIAL for sustainable success. Is your business lacking clear direction?? ? ?

?? If the Zendaya & Tom Holland engagement rumors are true (??), we can’t help but wonder: What would Zendaya wear to her wedding?? ? In case you missed it, Zendaya sparked #engagement rumors last Sunday night at the 2025 #GoldenGlobes, stepping out in a jaw-dropping Louis Vuitton ball gown and flaunting a 6-carat cushion-cut diamond ring on THAT finger. ?? ? For her second look, she switched it up with a cream and gold embroidered column dress, ditching all her bling—except the supposed engagement ring. Coincidence? We think not. ? ? Known for slaying every red carpet since her 2015 Oscars debut in Vivienne Westwood, we already KNOW #Zendaya will serve high-fashion bridal moments. With her longtime stylist, Law Roach, curating the perfect mix of elegance, edge, and drama, we’re betting on multiple wedding looks. ???? ?
