Are ushers necessary?
Gen in Wedding Ceremony, on September 10, 2018 at 1:06 PM

Stressed
Gen in Planning, on September 5, 2018 at 1:49 PM

Does anyone else feel more stressed about the wedding when you're in a lull with planning? I'm definitely a planner by nature... I do everything far in advance, I make lists, I actually enjoy...
