Hi! I'm Tina an older second time around bride who is a crazy cat lady, adores vintage anything, and loves to bake because it relaxes me. I'm a full time single mom to two boys and soon to be step mom to another! I am so happy to have met my best friend who I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with!

Happily married 🎉

Tina in Hair and Makeup, on February 3, 2020 at 3:02 PM

Had my nail trial today with my regular manicurist because she wanted to have time to play around with what I wanted. She absolutely nailed the “I do” (I know it’s on the wrong ring finger, she wanted...

Tina in Wedding Attire, on January 28, 2020 at 7:53 PM

Hi! Had my first fitting today and one of the things my seamstress suggested was having clear snaps on the sides and/or back of my lace shrug to attach it to my dress so it doesn’t move or ride up my...
