You just got engaged and made the big, wonderful announcement to the world. Now everyone is asking you when the wedding will be and where, but you haven’t even had the chance to sit down and really look at your guest list. How many people do you want to have, who do you truly want to share this milestone with, and what are your overall wedding priorities?
