Let's Get Married!

This week, 15 years ago, we got married. Ivo and I. And 15 years earlier we fell in love. For 30 years, we share our passion for film, and this blog can be described as our love baby of which we are both proud. So today's post is about love, weddings, brides, tuxedos and cake. A post for Ivo.
