400+ MARRIED DESTIBRIDES - Thatโs what this community is full of!๐ To my OGs:
I know a DESTIHOUR Q+A isnโt particularly helpful for most of you, since, well, youโre married and all...so I have an idea! Letโs have a DESTIReunion!
We need to bring life back into this group and I need your help!
1. If you want to participate in the Reunion - lemme know in the comments and drop a ๐ for Baby DESTIBrides while youโre there - just 1 piece of advice goes a long way ๐๐พ
2. Share this community and show anywhere you can so the Baby DESTIBrides can know we exist!
Your Bridefriends will thank you ๐
