DIY Wedding in Philadelphia

Well, we're back in Boston after four awesome days in Palm Beach. And, I'm kind of re-thinking this whole "we should move to Boston" thing because of the four seasons. Which basically translates to really cold, pretty wet days. It's probably just a Palm Beach hangover but still. Leaving the sun was a tad challenging. Anyway, I'm padding the blow with this absolutely darling wedding sent our way by the beautiful bride, Jasmin, and her groom, Steve...who were all about the sweet but totally... [MORE]
