I had a busy day painting and shopping and checking final things off my to-do list. I canceled a friend this evening because I was too tired and thought I needed an evening of rest. I retired early and took a shower. I came downstairs and nearly fell over. My dear friends of honor — [...]

105 more days and we will be married. Planning a big wedding is a lot of work. My wedding planner is full of notes and scribbled ideas. Some of those notes are morphing into reality.
