Our Wedding Bible
We are going to use my old family bible as the wedding bible. Our bible is 24 years old and is very dear to me, it being my bible in school. I'm glad to see that it has aged gracefully and I could not be more than proud to have it our wedding bible.To give it a fresh look for the wedding, I lovingly wrapped it in this cute damask-styled Lili and Nana ...
