I found out that having a travel agent who can handle all of your guests’ travel plans is helpful. So, I organized with a travel agent I know to help all of our guests get their flights and their pre or post wedding plans organized in Europe. Sh...

Banns as agents of changeFiled under: Alternative Weddings, Culture ClashYou've heard of "the reading of the banns?"

Depending on the jurisdiction, a license may also be required, but not everywhere. In Ontario, you need only ...
