Please Save Our Very Important Date!

18Feb09

I have been the MIA bride for the last few days. My fiance had pink eye, so I had to tend to him. While it’s probably lingering in my system, I have not yet shown symptoms, and I hope it stays that way. We both had a long weekend and worked on our registry and [...]
