Hey lovely people!
I'm just over 30 days away from W-Day (WHAT?!) and am working on my timeline! I think I have it finalized, but would love to see what you all think! We decided on an early afternoon ceremony, due to having our wedding in a state park that closes by 9pm. I'm open to opinions/notes/reassurance that I've allowed enough time for everything!
