It doesn’t matter if you are engaged for six months or three
years, your engagement will fly by. Take the time to enjoy the process with your fiancé and your family – take your time making decisions, laugh at the mistakes, celebrate the great ideas and appreciate the experience.”
Allison Becker, reception at The Rickhouse Husband Alan Ebeling
Remember there is not ‘one way’ to have a wedding.

Our parents had really only ever attended more traditional weddings and had a hard time visualizing how things would work if we threw a different kind of party. Alan and I wanted a private, small and simple ceremony at the courthouse, and then a big, more laid-back party a couple of days later. I am so glad we stuck to our guns and pushed for doing it that way despite our parents’ hesitations because the feel of the whole weekend was relaxed and joyful and really reflected our personalities.”
