Taking your ring off?
McKenzie, on April 4, 2019 at 8:33 AM

I don’t know why but I get so nervous to sleep with my ring and shower with my ring. My best friend says she never takes her ring off showers sleeps everything with it. What do you guys do?

I’m not taking FH last name and I’ve just realised I don’t know how the officiant should announce us. Maybe the happy couple. Any suggestions?

Wearing white at Rehearsal
Laura, on March 24, 2019 at 3:25 PM
