ReplyDeleteThis is proof positive that a beautiful wedding does not have to involve major planning time, expense, or all that excess! Congrats on a wonderful wedding and an amazing marriage:)
ReplyDeleteAnyone else would have just scaled back to next to nothing for planning on a short time line. Only you would be able to pull off the whole package in less than a week and get exactly what you wanted. Bonus? You didn't have to spend all sorts of time getting the wording and font right on invites and then pester people for their RSVP. ROCKSTAR!! Love you friend!
