We do not like to have to cut any detail of your wedding entry, so please help us by paying careful attention to the word length of your write-up. * Do not use the state name if the town is in Mississippi, and spell out the names of all other states. * If a list includes names only (or names and places that are in Mississippi), separate them with commas, but if the list includes items that must be separated by commas within the list (Elizabeth Ellis Elizabeth Ellis is an American storyteller and author who has been awarded the Circle of Excellence in 1997 by the National Storytelling Network after being recognized by her peers as a master storyteller.
