Things to do, appointments to keep and other fun stuff....

A Wedding is a party not a performance.

Try to remember, it is the imperfections of the most

perfectly planned day that will make the most

Special Memories! And of course the

MOST IMPORTANT THING, if at the end of the day

you are MARRIED TO the One You Love,

then everything went perfectly!
