This afternoon we are back with our regular feature ?Advice from the Married Side,? real life wedding planning advice from all the lovely brides and grooms I have featured on the blog.
I get to feature so many amazing real weddings here on the blog and with each wedding I ask the couple to share with us their wedding planning knowledge and experiences.

Happy Planning!
