3 Things That Surprised Me About Our Wedding

I’m going to be honest: Colton and I had no idea what to expect going into our wedding day.  We weren’t planning on “winging it”, but it’s one of those experiences that is unique to everyone.  In the several months leading up to the wedding, I liked, followed, and read countless wedding magazines, blogs, and Instagrams so I could glean as much information as possible … Continue reading 3 Things That Surprised Me About Our Wedding
