Now that you're an "old married gal" now - what would you say to a bride(s) going through all the challenges you had getting to the big day?
Also, premarital counseling is SO important. We were lucky and were able to get it for free through the local Vet Center (DW is an Army vet), but even if you have to pay out of pocket, it’s an investment in the two of you.
