Day 23: Memory Lane, surprise visit, and someone dreamed about me

Day 7: Bridesmaids
7/30: Girlfriends. I've always known that the wedding entourage is not just a bunch of beautiful people you choose because you want your wedding photos to have, well, a bunch of beautiful people in it. Sure, David and I were blessed to be surrounded by pretty faces on our wedding ...
Day 2: You saw me wear white
