Water, Water Everywhere and Lots of Drops to Drink

IIt was probably much easier to plan a wedding in 1911 than it is in 2011. There was maybe only one vendor to choose from for each thing you needed to get done. However, easiness aside, your wedding was just like your neighbor’s (and by neighbor I mean person who lives 5 miles down the country dirt road). Last year when my friends were planning their wedding the bride kept telling me there is no shortage of choices. She was right.
