If I haven’t told you enough, let me say it again: I LOVE when readers send me their own weddings. Christina and her husband, Billy, have been avid readers. Even after their wedding, Christina declares she’s still a fan (gotta love that, y’all!) Music is what brought Billy and Christina together. She found him online (aka “stalked him”) because of his musical tastes, literature preferences, and movie-going tendencies. It only took her sending one message to him for their story to begin!
