Real Life in a Perfectionist World

Okay, remember how y'all helped me chose the perfect outfit for my bridesmaid and friend Mae's wedding in California? And remember how I promised that I'd share her GORGE vineyard wedding with you? Well, wait no longer – ladies and…
That being said, I did decide to have wedding ceremony programs for my wedding last May. And, as you can see by the adorable kid holding them, they were pretty damn simple. Which ended up being fabulous.
