WBW Director of Education, Nancy Tucker, introduced Vazquez to WBW Chairman, Bryan Gary Wright. "Nothing can grow without the right partner. With Jacqueline, I have that partner now." says Wright. "Jacqueline understands first-hand that it is Nancy's enthusiasm and one-on-one attention to students, that distinguishes a WBW education. Now, we want to take that approach and expand our support for the next generation of wedding planners who will embrace everything in weddings and serve all couples."

"My father, Gary Wright, entered the bridal business on an introduction from Doris Nixon. In 1968, she authored the original Weddings Beautiful course. Subsequently, my parents and both grandmothers expanded a regional bridal chain, and my father traveled the country speaking and advising under his banner of National Bridal Service as he became a mentor to the bridal industry. That legacy will continue with WBW."

"My love for learning and teaching entrepreneurship first drew me to these WBW students and planners who decided to build livelihoods from their own energy. I always saw a broader potential reach for WBW; however, I never felt the circumstances were quite right to invest in the brand at the required scale. That changes now with Jacqueline."
