Re: October brides: What have you done/what is left to do?

hey jimmys bride. I'm a "jimmy's bride too" you're also not alot in the "weepy dept" all I did the first few weeks of planning was cry...at everything. One time, I was actually at a photographers studio and starting bawling at his slide presentation
everything is so exciting and I think it just takes awhile for it to sink in that what you've waited for your whole life is finally here.
