Even though I’m on the inevitable pre-wedding diet that I tried [...]

Today was a sweet, sweet day. It started off with cake tasting at our venue and ended with chocolate making.

I was smitten with V2V and their dresses when I saw a silk gown with a gathered front hanging in their window recently. Last week, I tried on a [...]

I have a salty-tooth and can pass on most dessert. I’m rarely swayed to eat a piece of wedding cake when I could have had a few extra pieces of cheese or fried calamari.
