Beyond Happy

Shawn recalls the day Bethenny gave birth to baby Bryn, and applauds Jason, Max and Julie for thier help and support!

July 22, 2010

 

I was in stitches watching Bethenny takes her CPR class on this week's episode. As a former babysitter (yes, I was, that's how I made money in junior high and high school) I knew what she was going through all too well. One never ever wants to use what they've learned, and (being a former boy scout) one always wants to be prepared. So I was happy to see she was learning, although I am surprised she didn't ask me to join in on the class.

I have to give kudos to both Julie and Max! Having worked with both of them on the wedding I have no doubt they took control of the situation for Bethenny and Jason during this exciting and scary time. While Jason was calling his buddies and Bethenny was multitasking and trying to give orders, it was refreshing to see Julie step in and take control of the situation. She is one of the most level-headed women I have met. She is there to get the job done and quite frankly she doesn't care about the fluff. She puts Bethenny and Jason's needs 100% before her own. She always has their best interest in mind. Without her I think Bethenny and Jason would still be trying to pack to head to the hospital. Her focus puts mine to shame! Seriously without her, Cookie would have been left to get the nursery in order. Now that's something I want to see!

And Max - what can we say about Max? He is by far one of the kindest people I have ever met. He is hard worker who aims to please. When Julie asked Max to go pick up the bassinet and underwear I nearly fell on the floor laughing! That poor guy gets put in some of the most crazy situations, and I thought helping Bethenny pee in a bucket took the cake! You try purchasing post-prego panties for your boss! I can't even imagine what that poor guy was thinking when he was at the salon. In a way it was an uphill battle, he was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. You can see when talking with Bethenny he is a true gentleman trying to navigate his way through bachelorhood. There's an innocence about him that makes him charming. I know someday he is going to find the right lady. In a way, I see Max as a young Jason. I have no doubt that he too will make a great husband and father in the near future and I wish him all the best and success in the world!

I think we all should give Jason a standing ovation! Seriously, could he be more supportive, proud and happy to call Bethenny his wife? He went above and beyond for her; sitting by her side coaxing and encouraging her. And you could tell that if he could have taken her pain away, he would have. I know he was just doing his job as a husband and father to be, but there was something about it ... he was a peacock, protective and proud.

Shawn, you're a lovely, sweet man. As far as Cookie: She is protecting her home and family. Please tell Bethenny to tell Cookie "Shawn is coming" in a very happy way. This show's cookie Bethenny is happy about it. I do this for everyone entering my house. I have a Mastiff, Newfoundland and St. Bernard. I always tell people to call before they reach my driveway to remind my dogs that I am happy happy!

Bring a dog toy and fill it with peanut butter. Dogs love that...every time you go there. It shows Cookie that something good is coming her way when you arrive.

Don't put your hand on her head. Let her smell you and you can make small movements toward her ear to scratch.

Please tell Bethenny and everyone else all of this.

A dog lover~

Love, Love, Love You!! But are you not the guy
who plays "Stuart" in the movie Because I Said So?
If not, you guys could be twins!!!!

Dear Shawn,
I don't want you show to be the "wedding planner". I want to see you do all events. Gay weddings, baby showers, sweet 16, divorce parties, anything like that would be great. Weddings are just too limited. NYC has lots of great folks with diverse interests. Hoping to see more of you soon. ...D

You're awesome! You did an absolutely AMAZING job on the wedding! If I could, I would definitely hire you! I hope they give you your own show!

Poor Max. Always picking up the woman's
underwear. Shawn - you are great! Bravo
needs to give you your own show.
The Wedding Planner!!!

Shawn there is truly something really special about you. My dagughter and I both loved you on Bethanny's show. You made us LOL many times and we would love to see you on your own show. I know why Bethanny quickly e-mailed you.... it's because she knows your a true, loyal, friend. You passed the test.... she was grateful you delivered and put up with her.....and Cookie. She didn't even email her mom when she was in labor. Her quick e-mail to you says a lot.

I said from day one of seeing you on Bethenny's show that you needed to get your OWN show.

I laughed so freaking hard when watching the episode when Bethenny said she would rip your dick off and you said "I know you will....and probably serve it as an hors d'oeuvre or something". OMG I thought I would die laughing.

And to do what you did in 4 weeks? Nothing short of absolutely amazing! You rock!

Shawn, to be as sweet as you are right now after enduring the hormones of an expectant mother only shows what a classy guy you really are......when are you getting your own show?????I would watch!

It has been so inspiring to see the grace and sincerity
grow and develop as you were tested during each episode.
What a testiment to your own character and professionalism
to become close to a client who did not have confidence in
you at the beginning. It is a pleasure to watch the
love and respect for everyone in this group. You were
entertaining and showed much class in your interactions
with Bethanny- Bravo to you Shawn. Hope you are
rewarded. Thank you for letting us get to know you-
it must have been a difficult decision to do the show.
We're so glad you did !!! Good Luck and hope to see
more of you.

I give you soooo much credit! as i watched in sympathy as you took on this amazing task,knowing bethennys preggo and hormones can be a terrifying thing..lol...again you did a great job holding it and bethenny together and in the end was a beautiful job well done!!! hugs and love...jackie in northern california!!!

LOVE YOU! LOVE YOU! LOVE YOU! You're such a "keeper"! Hear that BRAVO!!!!! Don't let this wonderful young man get away!

You are the greatest blogger yet!! Love your take on things and I agree that it was awesome to see Bethenney receive all the things she never had. I think you are such a positive person and hard worker, I really admire your work ethic! Keep blogging!

Hope you stay as a regular on the show. You are great!!!!

You had me the first meeting with Bethenny. You tried not to look panicked. lol Loved you from that moment on. You are very special. When you are in a scene, I know I'll laugh & smile even more. Hope they see that at BRAVO.

Shawn, you are fantastic!

Shawn, you rock!!!!
You look so familar...did you do a sitcom or a cameo on some show? I could swear I've seen you before.
If Bravo doesn't give you your own show, they're idiots!
You made the show!!!

Shawn:
You are such a sweetheart and an amazing wedding planner. I don't know how you put up with Bethenny and her "I'll rip your dick off" drama. You deserve so much better. Plan my wedding and I'll treat you fine. Best of luck to you and much success in your career.

Shawn, I hope you get your own show...you deserve it so much...How sweet of you to be thinking of the Hoppy Family while Bethany was having baby Bryn...You are a wonderful, caring person and I hope to see more of you..

Mr Shawn Rabideau:

You are indeed quite a terrific person who goes well beyond what is
required as a wedding planner -- but one that goes the extra mile
for a client of which are not quickly forgotten once the event is
completed.

Shawn, you did not forget your BGM clients as they entered the next
phase of their life. You did allow the wedded couple time to be
alone and enjoy their honeymoon, however, you must have been
curious about their unborn baby. Yet you kept your distance and
until after hearing the official announcement of Bryn's birth.

You are indeed such a wonderful person, extending your warm
greetings via her personal assistant, Julie. As a tv viewer I find your
kindness truly outstanding. Following a surgical procedure can be
strenuous and difficult. It is understandable why you did not want
to intrude on their special and intimate moment.

Lots of congratulations and salutations for a service that makes you
extraordinary! Certainly, Bethenny and Jason will remember you
always for you are more that a "planner" but a friend to the family.

Shawn- You are a sweetheart!! Loved your time on the show and pray you will be on again soon with a new project. Keep blogging - it is great to hear from you and feel connected to you. Hope to see you on WWH Live sometime too! You should have a show of your own!

Love you!
xxoo

Are you going to do a baby shower for Bethenny?

Dear Shawn,
Did you ever notice how people are so like their dogs? Cookie is just like Bethenny..looks cute, but you never know when you are going to get attacked. I always said it is the little yippy dogs that bite the most..like Bethenney. My Rottie is like me..does not bite..but has a presence that lets people know that if you cross the line, she will put you in your place. You seems like the lab type...loyalty first.

Dear Shawn,
If Bethenney was smart what she should do is go big and have you plan a huge event featuring her "products". I think she has been signing stuff at the liquor store, but that seems so trashy. If she doesn't want to do this, then contact Jill. SHe is launching her bedpread line. She could use your help.Point is we want to see more of you!

You Rock Shawn! Loved the innuendo....LOL

I think you are simply wonderful!!! Nothing more needs to be said.

Shawn we want to see more of you. Please Bravo we want Shawn!! I dig your facial expressions and quips. You crack my husband and I up. I thought you did a great job with the wedding. I imagine you are quite busy with client events ect. but we adore you and are on the "WE WANT SHAWN BANDWAGON"

Sean, Yes, you definitely deserve your own show! I adore you. You did an excellent job on the wedding.... I mean... You assisted in collecting urine in a bucket! That's dedication. I tihnk you are adorable, sweet, and extremely talented. I can not wait to watch SEAN's SHOW, when Brave gives it to you :)

Your awesome on the show please stay.

Very nicely written!I hope for much success in your future and maybe we will see you on Bravo some more in the future as well. God bless!

You are adorable and I echo the other comment that Bravo should give you your own show. I'd definitely watch. You are a delight.

Dear Shawn,
I posted on Andy's blog my suggest of having you paired with Danny from HW of NJ! Having two completelty different guys on the show would be hilarious.Hope you make it to Andy's show.

Shawn, you are a gift from God. How lucky that Bethenny picked you to "do" her wedding. It was breathtaking. What a kind a good friend you are.

Shawn,
You have such a way with words that it makes me smile and tear up at the same time! You are so kind and sincere and REAL!! I wish Bravo would make you stay in the show or get your own, you definitely deserve it!! Maybe you should think of writing your own book - your words are beautiful and from the heart!!!
All the best in the future my friend:)

DESCRIBED YOURSELF DEAR!
YOu did such a good job describing Max & Julie as workers, yet you don'[t see how good at the same thing you are too! you put their needs above your own to o! I truely admired the way you took care of & helped Bethenny thru the entire Wedding chaos that could have turned into quite the 'fiasco'! you were level headed & quietly went about doing what you had to do.
you were wonderful!
I'm sure you will enjoy seeing baby Bryn, good luck & best wishes to you my dear man, you are on your way to fulfill YOUR dreams too!
just know that.....

Shawn love reading your blog. Miss you on BGM?. Still like other would like if you had a show of your own, Bravo would be complete with a wedding planner . I hope the surprise guest is you on the next WHWL .

You are such a peach! I am in love!!! You are kind, considerate, (non-gossipy) and a very good friend. I so hope we see more of you on the show. Take care..we all love you and the wedding was spectacular!! If I ever get married again- I'm calling!!

Thank you for being so positive! I hope to see you in the future on BGM? or your own show. Bethenny has surrounded herself with positive peopole and you are top of the list.

You are a class act. I would love to see more of you on the show, even though your "tasks" have been successfully completed.

Truly enjoy you!

What? You were a babysitter when you were a teenager??? You might born as a patinet person!!! I can see the quality in you through TV and the blog; patient, positive, & mellow!! LOVE YOU

beautiful blog shawn. Such lovely sentiments. I also loved this episode and felt so happy for the Hoppy's.

Shawn, Love you! Love you! Love you! what a beautiful job you did. I think business will be booming for you for years to come. You accepted the challenge, outside of your comfort zone for many reasons, (time frame, tv) but you did it! BRAVO!

Shawn,
As the weeks went on through Bethanny's wedding I thought to myself, Bethanny and Jason were very lucky to have found you. She could have never pulled this off without you.

You truly are a gentleman, funny and most sincere. Good luck to you in the future. I hope to see you on Bravo with your own show. I would definetly tune in.
Have a great summer!

Shawn,

You did a great job. I loved you. You were so funny. Great flowers. I worked with the person who was doing the flowers for you. He is a great guy and a great floral designer.

Shawn, your blog is beautiful you should write a blog after every esp you clearly see everything Bethenny and Jason true fans see.Thank You

Shawn, I just love you to pieces....your insight and humor brought me to stitches...I could not stop laughing. I truly believe that you could be a terrific friend to Bethenny and Jason. Hugs, Nana

You have great restraint. that dog is useless they had better be careful with it around the baby . it is completely untrained and spoiled. you are a good guy

Hi Shawn!
You are a talented man! Who on earth could pull off that wedding the way that you did? In four weeks, no less! It seems to me, by watching Bethenny since the first season of the Housewives, that once she's gotten to know someone on a "personal" level...like peeing in a bucket. She's their friend forever! So, looks like you may be stuck with her, and how great is that?
She has a wit all her own! So do you, so you are able to keep up with her!
You did such a great job for that wedding...even though your balls were in danger at times!! Hahaha!

Shawn, Bethenny was so lucky to find you. You are such a great human being. Everyone should be so lucky as to have someone like you in his/her life.

And you throw a mean wedding, too!

I hope Bravo can keep you in our lives somehow.

Shawn are we gonna see a "Shawn Getting Married" or something similar, I would definitely watch. Love the blog.
