What you do is nothing short of amazing! I’m planning a late summer/early fall wedding and had no idea how valuable the appearance of my groom is. I also didn’t understand how to incorporate his ideas into our wedding. I truly enjoyed this write up and will be reaching out to you to make what I was originally dubbing “my day” into our day.
