….just don’t go together.  Sounds like that should be a song but it’s so true.  While outdoor weddings are truly lovely, there’s nothing too prettyabout your wedding veil blowing in your face.  And it’s bad enough that this could happen as you say your vows, it can also happen during the picture-taking session.
