Always question. Always verify" - Adam K. Levin “There are a lot of websites that are fabulous and you can see a wide array of opportunities there, in terms of dresses. But if a dress seems just way too inexpensive to be real, it probably is. So, you could buy it and it shows up, and let's say it shows up 3 or 4 weeks before the wedding, and it is a knock off what you thought you were getting.” - Adam K. Levin “It's always important to check with the concierge at the hotel you're staying at to make sure you're making the right move. Now listen, a lot of these hotels, their people are getting a bit from different attractions that you can go to. But at the same point, I would still rather go to a concierge at a hotel that I trusted, then to say ‘oh this looks fun, interesting, and I've never heard of this before.' There may be a reason why.” - Adam K. Levin “Remember, when you're telling people where you are, you're telling people where you're not.” - Adam K.
