Wedding Day Timeline?
Hey Ladies!
I know some people posted theirs a few weeks ago, but I can't find them using search... stupid TK is giving me results from 2 years ago first.
Can you guys share your day-of schedule please? I'm totally late on getting on this with my wedding in 10 days, but I was slammed with school so now I'm freaking to get these things done!
TIA!
