no to best man brother-in-law

To tan or not to tan???
I had decided to forgo fake tan for the big - I'm naturally very pale, and fake tan just looks, well, "fake" :wink: I'm have a loosely vintage theme, and, tbh, the colour of my dress actually compliments my natural skin tone. Now I'm having second thoughts :( There's a few reasons for this 1. my bms have a split in their…
