    thank you so much for this. Such a blessing! Prior watching your video, i was praying - because i got really anxious and overwhelmed about financial side of things of our wedding. After shower i felt God's peace telling me not to worry about the wedding because why worry, right? Anyway, so i thought i'd watch some wedding planning video and i landed here! Your video caught my attention even more because of the bible verse at the beginning! Love it!! Truly, God does answer prayers. You and your video is my answered prayer tonight!
    Also, love all the hacks. I love opshop and i do have a cricut too!!
    Blessings!
