Lessons learned:

1. Always make twice as many buttonholes as agreed; there are always 10 extra cousins.

2. Extension cords and venti americanos should be in floral emergency kits.

3. Milk to flour ratio for crepes is very important.

4. Do not rely on your camera phone alone for pictures, doesn't matter if it's 10 mega pixels, it's still a camera PHONE.

5. Getting a smooch first thing in the morning makes your day a lot better.
