Every wedding ReadBecca has been to has been different. This one was a Winery Wedding. I've had the Central Park Wedding, Paris Wedding, Rooftop Wedding, Garden Wedding, Tacky Beer Hall Wedding, Aquarium Wedding, Totally Dry Baptist Wedding and Classic Catholic Wedding. I missed the Montana Wedding for the Brother Wedding. I've even had a Fake Wedding. I've been a rice bag girl, a guest, a bridesmaid and the minister. Never been a bride or had a Beach Wedding.
Maybe I'll save that one for myself.
