My Wedding Dress (& What Everyone Else Wore)
One of the biggest parts of planning a wedding is deciding what everyone will wear. It can be one of the most fun parts of the planning or one of the most stressful. It was fun for me.

My hosts had asked each of the guests to bring an item that represented either a memory they had with me or of advice they wanted to give me. I didn't know anything about the shower before arriving, so I didn't know they had brought these items. Each woman stood up, displaying her item and telling me about a memory they had with me or a piece of advice they wanted to share. Each of these moments was so special. Some Continue Reading
