Wedding Proposals

On Friday night i picked up a couple from The Esplanade Hotel Fremantle to take the on a tour to the Witch's Cauldron for dinner so Michael could propose. The Witch's is famous in Perth for their garlic pawns and traditional location in Subiaco. He had booked the return for 9.30pm so i was surprised to get a call at 8.30pm to come and get them to take them back to the hotel.Luckily being the quiet time of year(July-august) i could accommodate them .Saturday nights job was a proposal too but this time to the C Restaurant in the city from Applecross.We get a great deal of marriage proposals which i enjoy a lot as the bride to be is normally ecstatic and then on her phone to the parents and friends. It is a huge privilege to share in their special occasion . That is another thing i have noticed in business is that things come in run's or groups of the same. In my mid 30's i sold books door to door that i had written about simple steps for saving the planet (ie recycling and other things that are now common place). Which i did for five years and something i notice in that time is that the sales were grouped together, so i might get 5 sales in a row then 5 no sales in a row , even some areas had higher sales.Then some times i would not come across the same pattern for ages but once i found a patch it was like gold veins with similar results. So sometimes i would sample a suburb and if it did not do well i would move on and come back another time .Some areas did so well i used to do them every year with the same book and the same results. This may have been due to high rental turnover or the type of person attracted to a certain area.

When i got married my wife insisted on a classic old styled car but i really like the flashy look of a limo, but there wasn't much to choose in terms of limousine hire worcester but the company i looked at did hire a fire engine out, maybe not for you big day just do what feels right to you it's your big day after all.
