This weekend marks a significant milestone.
There are two weddings taking place that are among the first where Brian and Liz have outdone competing florists (vs. a couple of other weddings for people who already knew them and sole-sourced - or were spontaneous locals) to do the flowers for the wedding and ceremony. Keep in mind that May 1 marks only six months of being in business - and business is FABULOUS!
In fact, they have multiple weddings already booked - stretching throughout the year.
What makes this weekend even sweeter is that one bride, who shall remain deliciously anonymous, had originally consulted with Brian's last employer - the one who did everything she could to tarnish his reputation and posted fake on-line reviews about the business (among other childish shenanigans) until our lawyers shut her down.
The bride arrived - almost in tears - after her encounter with the (adjective) (noun). And with absolutely no mention of the previous working relationship or animosity (or lack of anti-psychotic drugs), she elected to go with Brian and Liz.
It's going to be such a great 6-month anniversary gift, given all the crap that we've had to deal with.
I heard an interview on NPR the other day about a new book called "The Thank You Economy" which focuses on some real basics about customer care, acknowledgment and reward. It focuses on businesses being authentic, honest, creative and original - which is exactly what L& B are doing. It's real, it's personal and it's successful.
There is Karma in this lifetime and I, for one, love that there is.
