The weather is warming up, the flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping and women everywhere have spent the last few months scurrying about pinning, creating, booking and dieting in anticipation for the day they’ve been dreaming about all of their lives; their wedding day. That’s right, folks. Are you ready for wedding season?
Scrolling through my Facebook feed trying to forget my astronomical tax bill yesterday, one of my friends posted the following Buzzfeed video, “Wedding Season Is Coming.” It’s a hilarious take on people whose friends are all getting married. Oh, the horror.
So, are you ready for wedding season?
