    Lorell’s Favorite Things 2022

    As I sit here in the first week of January, I think to myself, “How is it already 2023 and where did 2022 go?” I had a whole list of weddings that I wanted to share from 2021 and was only able to do one post (insert faceplant emoji here)! And what about all the 2022 weddings and events that I wanted to feature as well? (Again, insert face plant emoji here)! There just are not enough hours in the day or maybe days in the year! So, I’m just going to jump right into my yearly favorite things/moments list, so let’s not waste any more time, shall we? Casey…

Either there are just so many choices and they can’t make a decision, or for others, they are just not into music (which I find to be a crying shame, lol)!

I’ve reached out to some of my DJ friends to compile a list of their 5 all-time top/most popular songs for each category to help you out, and I…

    You had me at wedding CAKE!

    If you know me, then you know that the way to my heart is wedding cake! Just put a piece of cake in front of me and I’ll say “yes” to just about anything, lol! Which brings me to my topic for today…wedding cakes! And who better to talk to than Anita Algiene, the owner of The Midnight Sun Cakery about cakes! If you have never had one of her cakes, then you are surely missing out, and I am not exaggerating! Years ago I attended the Fall Wedding Show and Anita was a vendor there. She served samples of an almond cake that was to die for. Normally, almond…
