Activity for Katie

I just got married this past July. We had a rehearsal dinner, pretty big wedding with band, & a luncheon for the family the day after. None of my family lives near us & my awesome mom graciously paid for all of my family's accommodations at...

We decided to rent a 20x60 tent for our guests for the ceremony only to keep them comfortable from the heat. We are expecting about 170 guests to the reception (Friday evening), but do not expect them all to attend the ceremony at 5:30 (which I am...
