2228 days agoI was looking up wedding invitations and was constantly bummed at what we were finding. Invitations are on the lower priority of our budget so after looking everywhere, we found a fairly cheap, simple design, that would've worked but we weren't...

2324 days agoOur entire "theme" for our wedding is loosely "movie/tv show". Without going in to too much detail, a running joke between us and everybody who has been following our relationship on social media has been "The Kimmi & Jackie Show", so we're...
