Should I wear my glasses as I walk down the aisle?
MrsBanks, on March 18, 2017 at 9:29 PM

I wear glasses pretty much all of my waking life lol. I wear contacts very rarely, but I'm wondering if I should when I walk down the aisle? Or wear my glasses because they're "me?"

Minted wedding website
Smidge, on January 23, 2017 at 9:05 AM
