And she lives on a houseboat, which makes me feel a tiny bit connected to her, having lived on a boat myself.

A little sneak peak at the ring pillow. I am pretty sure this isn’t normally a bride’s first concern when planning a wedding (especially before things like invitations), but when I saw this pillow on Etsy, I just couldn’t resist.
