Wedding Wednesday: Checking things off the list!
8:55:00 AM
Happy #WeddingWednesday everyone! So I am not sure if I have ever mentioned this before but both my best friend (Crystal) and I are planning our weddings for 2017! Her wedding to the lovely Mr. T is in April 2017 in Savannah, GA and Zach and I's is in May 2017 in South Florida. So between determining bachelorette parties, bridal showers and extra events, things have been a little hectic on both ends. But over the past few weeks, we have both figured out all of our dates and we are thrilled!
Cue cheesy bestie pic below - eek!
But let's be honest, the best part about both of us getting married is that we honestly get to "over" celebrate and that is exactly what we plan to do!
I wanted to add an "extra" list to this post... it's really sort of checking off what has already been accomplished on the showers/bachelorette efforts and yay for accomplishing SO MUCH!
