As I am only three weeks away from getting married, I am reflecting on what marriage really means to me. When I first announced that I was getting married to my friends and family, they were a mixed of shocked and excited. Obviously, they were excited because I have found someone that I want to […]

Creating Our Wedding Website [Wedding]

For the wedding website, I wanted to do a one-page, easy to navigate and scroll right through to what you needed to know for the wedding. This means that this is it, there are no additional pages.
