Unique ideas, surprise weddings, thinking outside the wedding-square, getting lost in Bali...
This is a tell-all space where I propose new ideas, discuss old ones and where sometimes, I'll let you in behind-the-scenes during some of my less-than-spectacular moments!

Think, ponder, change your point of view.
Laugh with me, laugh at me, either way; enjoy!
