Jean's Wedding

We’re in the waiting game for Jean and Trent’s wedding location and date. Until the chips fall, I need to be collecting inspiration for those Gocco wedding invitations I’ve signed up to make.

I’ve survived breakfast and lunch. It would appear that my body is no longer my worst enemy. So a quick post to welcome back Wedding Wednesday. As you know, my sister just got engaged. She wants to get married in California, so a cross-country wedding means that there will be plenty for me to help…
