wall street journal feature | kristen fohrer deArman | ojai valley inn wedding by joy marie

Congratulations to my bride Kristen Fohrer DeArman for being featured in a Wall Street Journal Article about the recent trend of couples requesting that their guests donate to a charitable cause in lieu of wedding gifts. Kristen & Austin had a beautiful October wedding at Ojai Valley Inn planned & coordinated by Mindy Weiss Party Consultants. They asked guests to make a donation to the Search Dog Foundation, a request that was made via the most adorable wedding favor: a Milk-Bone Dog Treat (actually a cookie in the shape of a dog biscuit) created by Beverly Hills Bakery BabyCakes. Congrats again, Kristen & Austin, and thanks for inspiring all of us to give more!
