Hi everyone!
Just a little back story on me and our wedding. I’m Russian and spent half of my life growing up there before moving to the US as a teen. Because I’m kind of in between two worlds I don’t know much about American wedding traditions and neither does my mom.
So I feel like I’m constantly missing something during planning or just simply don’t know about it because of cultural differences.
We got engaged aged in November 2018 and decided to have a long engagement (almost two years). So we had plenty of time to pick our vendors but now I feel like I hit a plateau. This is what I have planned so far for our wedding in September 2020. Any suggestions on what I can work on right now will be greatly appreciated!
