We’ll highlight the good stuff – from tiny ceremonies to huge parties. We’ll honor family, florists, friends, special memories, the person who set you up, meaningful readings, the moments when you realized you wanted to stay together, and how you figured out that this could be forever.

Whatever’s special to you. It took a lot of work to get to here, right? Tell us everything.
