Ivy, on January 27, 2017 at 11:18 AM

Anyone else planning to have their dog/puppy/pet in your wedding? Is he/she walking down the aisle or just there for photos?

Morning wedding, reception ends at 5. Any after party ideas?
AniaKamila, on January 25, 2017 at 6:30 PM

What to do after a morning wedding where people will want to celebrate longer? Family from 2 different countries are coming, we need to extend it beyond the venue hours. Ideas?
