Here’s What to Write in a Wedding Card to Make Their Big Day Even Sweeter

When it comes to weddings, you wouldn’t be wrong to think that Alex Drummond’s wedding with Mauricio Scott takes the cake. The lovebirds transformed Drummond Ranch into a flower-filled wonderland, Paige gave the maid of honor speech to end all maid of honor speeches, and, well, it was generally the most excitement we’ve experienced since that time a rat barged in while Ree was filming her cooking show.

True story.

But here’s the thing—and no, we’re not just saying this to say it: Every wedding is special. Really.
