Shirley tells all about her own big day:
âYou seriously canât take me anywhere without a calamity happening. Iâm a walking Americaâs Funniest Home Video. Even my own wedding had a near-disaster. My husband got laryngitis the day of the wedding (hmmâ¦was that a convenient way of not having to say any vows?), so his vows came out as a squeak. I forgot our toasting glasses and we had to borrow other guestsâ champagne glasses when the best man made his speech.
But all of that was nothing compared to my veil catching on fire.
Letâs just say tulle and candles arenât a good mix. When my husband and I went to blow out the unity candle, it was before he kissed me, so my veil was still down. I tried to blow through the tulle. The netting swooped forward into the flame and, whoosh, caught on fire. Not a big flame, thank goodness, but a nice little spark. So here I am, madly blowing out my veil, then trying to lift the veil and get the unity candle blown out at the same time. I have a nice round hole in my veil as a memento.
Donât even get me started on the time I tripped and fell on the church altar in front of two hundred people at someone elseâs wedding. And just donât ask me to do a reading at your weddingânot unless youâre planning on splitting the prize money from AFHV with me.
At least in my fictional world of Sweetheart Lost and Found I can create weddings where almost nothing goes wrong!â

Callie Stevens is the florist at The Wedding Belles. Here are her tips for your big day:
A little visual can go a long way toward making sure you and the florist are on the same page. So bring along pictures of floral arrangements you like, or flowers you find special, to give your florist an image of the perfect bouquet.
If you get married around a holiday, remember that the church will probably already be fully decked out with great flowers. Save some money by utilizing the beautiful arrangements already in place.
To save money, donât go for cheap flowersâchoose one striking bloom in a less expensive vase arrangement for a centerpiece, or a simple bouquet with a few colorful flowers. Sometimes less is more.
On the big day be sure someone has been designated to be in charge of distributing and pinning on the boutonnieres and corsages so you donât have to worry about that detail.
If you want your guests to be able to see each other across the table, be sure to keep centerpieces under fourteen inches high. Also, keep highly fragrant flowers to a minimum at table settings, as some guests may have scent allergies.
