How You Met

My mom and I always have a bi-monthly girl’s night out together at our favorite local Bar and Grill. I noticed a handsome man down towards the middle of the bar that I had never seen before. I spied him looking my way and he finally came over to introduce himself. There was an instant attraction that we both knew was special and we immediately began a friendship through conversation that continues today.

Bride’s Advice

I planned the entire wedding myself. I purchased everything online except for flowers, cake, photographer and venue. I used many vendors on Etsy.com for jewelry, place cards, menu cards, floor decal, just married car decal, etc. Etsy is truly a place where you can find any unique item custom made at a reasonable price. Additionally, I ordered my own bridesmaids dresses online. The very best place is www.toptopdresses.com. Lastly, I found the groomsmen ties at www.weddingtonway.com. I’m not advocating against wedding planners, I simply want to convey the resources available online that will save time and money yet deliver quality for exactly what you are looking for.
