Actress, teacher, cat lover. My fiancé and I met in college and have been together ever since – he proposed on our 7 year dating anniversary. We're getting married at a vineyard in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and we're inspired by the natural romance of the setting. October can't come soon enough!

1744 days agoHi! The color scheme for our wedding is dusty blue and sage green (inspo), and I can't decide whether I want my bridesmaids in green or blue dresses! The men will be in blue suits, so my instinct is to put the women in green to contrast. But I also...
