After having Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones as clients for years, I had such great joy when they called me to design a first-class birthday party. (They were born on the same day! Can you believe it? Of course they were destined for each other.)
They’ve been married for years, and to this day, you can still see how much they are madly in love. It was one of the most fun birthday bashes I’ve ever designed.
Catherine and I getting down on the dance floor.
By the way, I recently saw A Little Night Music on Broadway with my dearest friends from Jakarta, the beautiful Tania and her equally beautiful mother Mrs. Meity, Abel, the brilliant designer Biyan, Karen and friends, and let me tell you—Catherine is an AMAZING performer. It was such a breath-taking experience getting to watch her on stage. I also cannot wait to see the sequel to Wall Street, starring her fabulous husband.
Now, I’d love to hear from you. If you’re in a relationship, what is one thing you love about your significant other? Or, for those lovely singles, tell me about one couple you know who are still madly in love after many years.

They are a very sweet couple.
Preston, I will be frank with you. I would like to know about your own wedding plans and also I look forward to tons of photos of your wedding! I also would like to know how many wedding designers would you have because I bet you will have a huge production. You have many, many friends in the industry and no doubt will have the best to help with your wedding. Where do you wish to hold your dream-wedding event?
My husband and I will celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary this May. To answer your question: The one thing I love about my significant other is that he still adores me! Sweet!
Here are a couple of photos of my husband and I at our son’s wedding 2 years ago. I was 50 yrs. old.

When I think of my Godparents and there love story. It makes me want to cry. They are truly a symbol of love and strength. You never see one without the other. They really complement each other. Her words are his words and vise vesus. They talk about love, show love, and communicate love. I hope one day to have that kind of love. But you flowers’ Preston, really do express love. Keep doing what you do. You inspire me.

Dear Preston,
I really loved the lighting in this birthday party. however I have a question for you, I’ve noticed that usually indoor events have very distracting carpets, do you think that purple or blue lightings can make it look better?
