When planning our wedding I really wanted to do some things that were, well, different!! A little homemade, a little southern, and a LOT "Stephanie." I came up with this idea to create "Did You Know" facts about me and JC! I wanted most of them to be the funny things that have happened in our relationship so far and I wanted some of them to just be tid-bits of information that help you know us a little better!!
On each table at our reception, you might have noticed these.....the little frame with a pink bow!!! (I have nothing to do with them if anyone wants one)!
Well, when I was talking to my friend Lisa...she mentioned that she had not gotten around to every table (there were 20) and wanted to see each of the "Did You Knows!!" So here they are!!
