ReplyDelete...Dez, I woke up nervous!!! I think it's the antibiotic I just finished yesterday, but my man is swearing it's my nerves. Who knows?! I'll just keep taking deep breathes. lol
Deleteantibiotic? Don't forget to take some probiotics too, you don't wanna be pooping like waterfalls when the wedding comes :))))
DeleteWow, you need to market that. Best of luck on Sunday. I'm sure it will be magical.
ReplyDeletelol! I just figured that I'd lump it all together for the person that didn't want to click a 100 times. hahaha Thank you :)
DeleteDamn, all of that just makes my head hurt. If I can't elope, I'll stay single lol
ReplyDeleteRelax and enjoy! It's almost here! Deep breaths!
ReplyDeleteI always wondered about the rice thing, but snopes says it's untrue. Urban legends and myths tend to spread quickly until they become the "truth".
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHH! Happy Bridal Week!!!! So, so, so excited for you! Soak it all in and enjoy every second. This list is great. I can't wait to see some pictures of you, Jax!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect! I'm going to send it to my cousin who just recently got engaged- she'll love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd happy wedding weekend- so excitingggggg!

Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
