diy checklist

There were times when I planned my wedding I thought, where is my American Express card?

Then I pulled out my inspiration. It was a story told by an editor of a bridal magazine.

The editor's sister had married. She defintely took the DIY route. The decor was broutht on sale. The music brought by friends. Her food was kept simple. And the whole mooment took place at her sister's home.

This bride could have had an event but instead she had a candle lit moment among family and friends.
