“I don’t really know what to say except hello with jazz hands” that’s how Sean introduced himself to Lola on Zoosk. After walking past each other several times while nervously waiting to meet for their first date, dinner at Chiquito’s was followed by a walk in the rain under a pink umbrella around a long-abandoned […]
I’m pleased to see that the team at Luath Press are entering into the spirit of wedding season!Here’s their new blog piece with my advice about how to write your vows.
