British royal weddings are truly classy and elegant. I’m finally getting married this week, after a year of planning. And while my wedding may not be royal, I can’t help but feel like a princess myself. We have put a lot of effort to make sure we have a memorable ceremony at one of the famous San Francisco venues.
