A short paragraph of two would be great for each question. One sentence answers don’t really make a great and enjoyable post.

1. Where do you both work? 2. How did you meet? 3. Tell us about the proposal? 4. How long was the engagement? 5. How was the wedding planning process? Any funny moments/highlights? 6. How did you decide on a wedding venue? 7. What inspired your wedding style? 8. Were there any DIY elements to your wedding? 9. What does marriage mean to you both? 10.
