Hello! New to the community. I actually signed up only a month before my wedding but wished I had found out about the forums long ago. Would have saved me lots of stress :). Hoping to be able to help out other future brides with any questions. I met my fiance for the first time 10 years ago but we both weren't in the mindset to date. 4-5 years down we reconnected and started dating. Happy to be marrying him in a month :)

Happily married 🎉
