NEXT STEPS AFTER CONTRACT & RETAINER: Once those arrive, we countersign the contract, mark retainer paid, and scan/email a copy to you, along with more next-steps instructions and 20+ vows choices, suggestions, etc. ALSO, you’ll get another email from us to book our required phone call appointment (about 1 month ahead of wedding) to customize your vows, cover legal aspects, timing, rings, questions, decisions, details, and so forth.
