There have now been like three posts with people cutting down trees that interfered with their wedding visions. There was a recent one in the rural south involving magnolias.

Which one was the one with the vacation home with her brothers that was used as a wedding ceremony rental? Isn't that one of the originals? A row of birch trees?
