I’m OOO this week and getting married! Yee! While I’m off bustling about, kissing our relatives and drinking vinho verde and worrying about whether the vintage crochet ribbon I procured 7 months ago will be tied around the linen napkins *just so*, paid subscribers are getting a letter I wrote for them before I left. (Psst— there will be no “Weekender” column on Saturday of this week, which is my wedding day. A girl’s gotta be able to take one day off!)
Today, it’s the 8 things I learned in the last year of planning a wedding: what the process has taught me about friendship and family dynamics, creative expression, love, and project management (lol).
