This past weekend I was working as a wedding coordinator and while taking pictures of the wedding party in Central Park a certain celebrity/domestic goddess/former convict walked by...then came back around to take pictures with the group and I...
MARTHA STEWART!
Full story: As I was corralling the wedding party into the cars to get them to the reception, Martha strolled by and said very casually: "Oh, you ladies look lovely!" then continued down the street. She was walking with a male friend (he's a designer or someone well-known in interior design, I just can't place him). He stopped at the hot dog vendor to get a NY hot dog and I told myself this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I had to... I walked up to her and said hello. I told her that she just made our day, but she could make our lives if she would pose for a picture with us! She joked with me about how much she loves making comments to wedding parties when she sees them and how she gets a kick out of their reactions. She agreed to take the picture and as we walked back to the group, asked her friend if she looked good enough for a picture. He said yes and she jumped right in with the group. Her friend snapped pictures on her phone and I took some on mine. After the g
roup shots I told her I needed a picture too, so her friend went took a few of us on my phone. I was holding the bride's bouquet this entire time and she says "Oh let me hold the bouquet!" This all resulted in this:
The next day, my friend tagged me in a Facebook post saying I was featured in
this article.
So, basically I am famous and BFF's with Martha and this is my super fun post about it.
tl;dr - I met Martha Stewart and it was pretty awesome.
