I let my fiancé see my dress before the wedding, and I lived to tell the tale
“He saw you?!” they say in a mixture of disgust and horror. Yes. He did see me. I asked him to take the photos. And yet, I don’t feel as if our relationship is doomed for failure. Weird.
MJ & Josh’s wildlife sanctuary red and gold wedding

Distance between wedding ceremony and reception: How far away is too far?
I’ve realized, though, that the place where I would love to have the reception is over half an hour away from the church.

But… it just caused confusion. To remedy the confusion, my sister and I played dress-up!
