Beautiful Day Events saved our Wedding Shower! Most of you know that when Amber and Myself throw a “shin-dig” we like to do it right.  For April’s and Kenn’s Wedding shower there was one problem.  We don’t have time.  Both of us are busy, working parents that because of a newborn we are operating on zero sleep.
