Ever wonder how “Tale As Old As Time” scene from Beauty and the Beast would look in real life? I think it would be an almost exact replica of Stephen and Megan’s George Peabody Library wedding. These two planned the most classic, fairytale wedding at this jawdropping venue. My good friend Alex Crawford (Alexandra Kent […]
