The truth about millennials and marriage

However, life can’t put a pin in every couple’s marriage plans and because of this, millennial weddings have become a hot topic. From destination weddings to eco-friendly celebrations, millennial weddings are all about embracing individuality and crafting a one-of-a-kind experience that reflects the couple's values and celebrates their love in a truly special way.
