Before Chanel’s wedding, Michael and I spent a few days in Munich and took a day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle in Füssen. I’m so glad we did — it ended up being one of the most memorable parts of an epic trip. The castle, built in the late 1880s by the “mad” King Ludwig II, reflects all the […]

My favorite stories in our Entertaining With series have one thing in common: when the hostess is having every bit as much fun as her guests, it shows.
