Kristin, on June 28, 2019 at 2:17 PM

We are not having kids at our wedding except for the wedding party. I am going to need a ton of advice on how anybody who is doing the same has handled the backlash you have gotten from this. Because...

Other than Wagner's Bridal Chorus and Mendelssohn's WeddingMarch, what music did you select or considering for your ceremony playlist?

BAM!!!
Gen, on June 3, 2019 at 8:34 AM
