I did a lot of searching in the local stores, and then on the internet when I found nothing at the stores, to find an album that fit my needs. When I saw this one, my immediate reaction was - this is perfect! It had just the right number of pages & I absolutely loved that the front could be personalized with our names & wedding date. It is really unique & turned out to be just the right solution for me. Most of the store albums I saw had either way too many pages or not quite enough, & most of them looked "cheap". It was such a relief to find this album - it is well made & looks beautiful (traditional bride/groom image yet modern style with the laser effect on light tone wood)- you won't be disappointed.
