The wild world of wedding planning is like no other beast. From dozens of unlicensed or uninsured vendors that pop up daily, to those who appear to be legally operating but suddenly disappear off the face of the planet, couples are being urged more and more to research your vendors. Every day I see posts…
In the recent months, several posts have gone up in the wedding groups asking for book recommendations. As an avid reader, I figured this would be the perfect opportunity for me to fill a pain point for couples. I love to read and it would be easy for me to post reviews to help others…
