Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, And A New Partnership

Finally the bun is out of the oven. Jennifer delivered our first child on Jan. 6 at 11:09 p.m. in Bryn Mawr. He was 7 lbs., 9 oz., and 21 inches long, and has demonstrated quite the appetite in his first three weeks on the job. We also welcome a new partnership with one of the most talented, most sustainability-minded young professionals in the region.

Avi Loren Fox of Narberth took this photo of JoJo, along with the one below. She is Avi Loren Fox Photography, a full-service shooter who takes nice pictures of grown-ups, too. Especially weddings. We are excited to be launching the all-new Sustainable Wedding Collective with Avi this winter. The Sustainable Wedding Collective aims to:

- Provide brides and grooms with a network of socially and environmentally responsible wedding vendors, professionals, and resources.

- Host events and expos that bring together members of the network and offer members and opportunity to network with interested couples.

- Reduce the environmental impact and maximize local economic impact of weddings.

- Pave the way towards a sustainable wedding industry.

Our pledge to serve local and organic food as much as possible and to create eco-friendly events and designs that are artistic and memorable is even more important these days. Young JoJo will be a man someday. He'll probably find someone like I found his mama. And if they someday get married, I hope he can taste the same things I did on my wedding day -- the fresh spinach in the hand-rolled raviolis immediately comes to mind -- and feel the warmth and love from family, friends and a healthy environment.

The Sustainable Wedding Collective exists to help make sure that happens throughout the Main Line and all of Greater Philadelphia. Launch details coming.
