Opinions on first look photos???
Future_Mrs._Sikes, on January 12, 2017 at 11:29 PM

We are getting married in a small town where Ubers and Lyfts don’t exist. There is a taxi number, but it’s not very reliable. Our reception venue does have a lot of ample parking and maybe most people...

Is it weird for a florist to accept my offer to measure the mantle/staircase railing?
Layla, on October 27, 2021 at 4:25 PM

My venue is 3 hours from me, in a remote area so I only have two florist options. One is out of my budget so I’m going with the 2nd. They gave me a detailed email at first and asked me questions, and...
