The Marriage Week in Review – October 7 – 13

Another week down in the month of October and just two weeks to go until we arrive in November and the beauty of planning a Holiday Wedding or celebrating an anniversary in what for many people is one of the warmest emotional times of the year. Personally, I can’t wait for Christmas music, but in the meanwhile, we still have Halloween and time change to get through. Be sure to note on your calendars that October 29th is the day time changes and we’ll be rolling the clocks back an hour. Another great benefit to the crisp fall air in my opinion – an extra hour on our down day!
