Do I need to do a wedding party entrance?
Erin Wood, on January 2, 2017 at 7:27 PM

I don't think our wedding party is interested in an entrance. I don't care either way. Is it necessary?

Do not pay to change your name or get a new SS card!
AMW, on December 29, 2016 at 9:51 PM

MrsRidley, on December 28, 2016 at 7:48 PM

Hey everyone! What is your take on food tasting? From my understanding a food tasting will help you decide if you would like to book a venue. There's a specific venue that I have heard nothing but...
