These look great- we haven’t set a date yet but looking at Aug 2013! I’m in need of advice on how to get everything together for the big date and how to incorporate all my scattered ideas. Thank you for the lovely giveaway!
I would be eternally grateful to win this book. We are on a very tightly budgeted wedding, and due to some major car issues, we’ve been set back even further. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this book, and good luck to everyone!
I would love to have this book because I’m about to go to college and my mother can’t afford to pay for my older sister’s and her own wedding, after paying for the college tuiton for the three of us at Georgia State University. They are feeling the pinch and are very unhappy with the idea of cutting corners. I want to show them that this day can be beautiful, affordable, and meaningful.
Thank you for your time and this opportunity

My son has asked the love of his life to marry him last Christmas eve.

They are searching for ways to bring us all into their celebration, this book would be the perfect offering to help. I would love to be able to win and give this to them.
So many young women are in my life either where I volunteer or young female relatives. It would be passed around generously.
