It's always fun when our couples' weddings are in the Washington Post Style section or the New York Times Wedding Announcements. What's even more fun is when our weddings win the weekly Gawker New York Times Wedding Announcement Face-off. Who knew there was such an official scoring system?
We planned Elizabeth and Adam's wedding and it took place this past Saturday at Meridian House and was absolutely lovely. Photos of the wedding and all the fun details to come but, first, the face-off against Bianna and Peter!
