Young woman in her mid-20's engaged to a soon to be out of the military man. We survived his bootcamp, training, and an 11 month deployment overseas while I was planning our wedding on my own back in the states. I believe we can get through anything. I'm someone who doesn't go with etiquette and instead goes with what's best for us and our guests. Yes I'm that girl whose having a cash bar, included an optional registry info card with her invitations, and absolutely hates wedding websites. Not all rules apply to every person's wedding so don't be afraid to break some for just ONE day of your life.
