I have a unique style with purple and peach as my main colors. My style is what I consider a mix of bohemian, shabby chic, elegant and classic. We will keep our event pretty simple to save costs. This is my first time being married, but second for my FH; his late wife passed about 10 years ago. I've had no human kids, but he has 4 grown kids and 12 grandkids. I hope I can help others here as they have been helping me. Thanks!

Happily married 🎉
