Venue

Did you know the wedding will be at Westminster Abbey?

How fancy.

I told my husband two days ago that if I could do our wedding over again we'd have done it in Las Vegas with a friend or two. Then surprised our family with the news that "we're married". But I must say after Vegas, doesn't Westminster Abbey seem perfect?
