Along with all of the pictures that capture the special moments and people of your big day, journaling add a lot to a wedding album.  As years pass, you may not be able to recall some of the things that happened that day, so journaling in your wedding album can be especially important.  Of course you will want to include who is in the pictures in your album, but here are some other questions you may want to answer to add some interest:

bulletHow did the two of you meet?
bulletWho popped the question and how/where did it happen?
bulletHow long was your engagement?
bulletHow did your family's react to the news of your engagement?

He Said, She Said
