Glitter and sparkles aren’t my thing and I’m generally a mess in high heels, so one of the most annoying wedding related tasks has been finding a proper wedding shoe. Everything’s just so ugly (in my very honest and probably overly-strong opinion) and I don’t want to spend money on …

I was a little surprised to find that one of the first things people want to know about our wedding is why we chose Paris. Getting married in Europe isn’t common so it’s obviously a very reasonable question, and since we leave one month from today, now seemed like the …
