I couldn’t get enough of the bride showing off her ring, picking out her dress, choosing colors, reserving venues, deciding on themes. And since my husband… Continue reading The Knot Outdoor Weddings
I do not like romance novels. There. I said it. Too much drama. Too many misunderstandings. It seriously stresses me out. Historical Fiction, on the other hand? Friend, I’m all over it.
