Fran's Wedding Stuff
Well, we're finally engaged.... and I've been researching and planning both at home and at work (but don't tell the boss!). In an effort to keep the sites I'm using available from both places, I'm creating this page of links and notes. Perhaps it will be helpful to others who may happen to stumble upon it.
The books listed below are those I'm using from my local public library, so I can go back and check out the most helpful books again later. (And I highly recommend Bridal Bargains by Denise and Alan Fields!!!) The pictured items shown with the online catalog links are notes to myself, so I won't forget where I found the items I'm interested in!
If you stumble upon this page and find it helpful, or if you have additional Celtic wedding info to add, please write me! ~ fdendy@hotmail.com
