Wedding Channel Bridal Blog Awards

  • "Editor's Pick"!

Momma and I went to the gym tonight even though we didn’t want to… at all.  We were so proud of ourselves that we went to Applebee’s afterwards and had their amazing honey barbeque boneless wings!

Yea, my clients are IN THE WATER! They’re pretty much the coolest newlyweds at the whole resort!!

Jennifer and I emailed back and worth and finally set up a time to meet. I loved her. Absolutely loved her. She just wanted to be married and nothing else really mattered. The thought of intense planning and inviting a ton of guests wasn’t what she had in mind. A destination wedding was the PERFECT option! Jason and Jennifer had their immediate families and close friends at their intimate Jamaican wedding at…
