Top Ten Beauty Secrets Every Bride should Know by Jessica Howe

Every bride wants to look ravishing on her big day, so here are the top ten beauty tricks you need to know about to wow your groom when you do that aisle walk.

Discuss any skin problems you may have and find out what kind of skincare regimen would most benefit you. Make sure you pick up a good exfoliation product.

The law, passed by the Tennessee House in April, stipulates that “persons receiving online ordinations may not solemnize the rite of matrimony.” Tennessee legislators who advocated for the bill argued that it would bring greater clarity to the process of getting married in the state, partly by reducing the number of possible officiants, according to the Times Free Press. The law is set to take effect July 1.
