5 Things I’ve Learned from Wedding Planning

I'm a little over 3 months in to wedding planning, and a little less than 6 months away from the big day itself. It has definitely dominated my 2015 so far. For the most part it's been a fun experience, though it's also been a lot of work. Our wedding is on the small...
