Emma,
I’d love to be included in your list! I’m the author of “Navigating Your Wedding Ceremony” by Officiant Amber. It’s currently available on the American Marriage Ministries online store. Thanks!
Any of these would be awesome helpful tools for planning!
Planning for an early Oct 2019 wedding! Just got engaged this past February. My fiance and I are outdoors people so we are going to get married in a nature preserve with the ceremony outdoor in the woods and the reception in a nearby barn.
Newly engaged as of last Friday, and planning our wedding for March 2019! My mom passed away when I was very young, so I am essentially planning the wedding on my own and these planning books would be incredibly helpful!!
My wedding is October 12 as a rustic, fall theme. the reception will be in a barn :)
Kayla, that sounds so romantic! What a great date — right in the middle of October. Good luck planning and thanks for entering — good luck!
