Wow, it will be so awesome. I loved the Ballantyne. You will have to tell me again what town you live in. I was trying to get my bearings when I was at the hotel. I told Will that your dad was mayor of some town, but didn't remember which one.
Wow! You've gotten a lot done! How exciting!! 🙂
You've gotten a lot done!! Must be a relief! The next 6 months are going to fly by!
Wow, 6 months already? Time is sure flying by! You guys have a lot done and I know your wedding will be beautiful. I linked up today!xoxo.
In the home stretch, and you've already knocked off so much from your list!
So soon! So soon!
Wow, you've gotten so many big things off the list, but still have a long, FUN road ahead!
By planning out all that you have to buy for the ceremony, I'm sure your dream wedding with Corey will go along smoothly. How much did you allot for the celebration, and who did you invite? Best wishes to both of you, and may you have a happy married life!Kindra Leomiti
